I left home to the motor park very early in the morning While everyone was having the after Fajr sleep
Inna gave me some of her savings and i took some of mine
I carried my admission letter that was left stranded on baba's table when he was fast alseep.
I wonder what would be their reaction when they find out i was gone.

"Gombe zuwa Abuja?"a man asked infront of a commercial bus that actually has a wood label on that says Gombe to Abuja.

"Yes"i replied with a nod

"Hajia no english only Hausa"the man said helplessly

I puzzled just then a girl my age interupted.

"You need help?"she asked

"Yes,ask him how much"i replied.

After they exchanged some dialogues she turned to me and said "two thousand five hundred" and i nodded.

You must be wondering why i dont speak Hausa despite being in Gombe.
My Baba grew up in Lagos with his parents.is when they died he came back to his mother's  home town then he met mama.and mama was already in school and a very bright student in english.

He himself can only hear Hausa but cant speak just like us.
The only Language we know how to speak is English and Arabic.
Baba is actually yoruba but his mom is Fulani.
I know right Yoruba and Fulani marriage.

"Miss"the voice called bringing me out of my thoughts

"Sorry,thank you very much"i said to the girl with a smile

"Are you also travelling with the bus?"i asked

"Yes,my name is Fareeda actually"she replied with a smile

"And i am Malak"i said
