Humaira's POV

     I wrote the jamb, i went together with Fareeda because we wrote it in the same school, we became close friends before the exam. I got to know her house we were not even far from each other, so we do visit each other. Luckily for us we both passed the Jamb exam, I got 268 while Fareeda got 231, we were both happy
    On a Monday morning during breakfast, Baba told me what I have been waiting to hear. He congratulated me that I have been admitted into Turkish Nile university to study "Law", i didn't even know when I even jumped up shouting "Masha Allah", i was just too excited. Hajiya hugged me she was full of smiles, Baba smiled staring at both of us. I thanked Baba because without him I wouldn't be here, I praised and prayed for him. He said with a calm voice "you are like a daughter we never had, so u need to be treated as one". While Hajiya was like "Alhamdulillah you will finally go to the university", I thanked her aswell. I was so excited to the extent that I forgot about the food I was eating. Baba told me told me I would resume school the next week so that i should start my registration on time and settle well before lectures become serious.

Then i excused my self from the dinning table and went to my room, I picked up my phone and called Ummah. I just couldn't wait to share the news with her, after about two times ringing Ummah picked my call, then she said "Asalamu alaikum" which I happily replied her. So I said to Ummah with smiles on my face "ina da wani news fa ama sai kinyi guessing" Ummah was like "gaskiya right now I can't guess just please tell me" then I told her the news, she was full of joy when she heard it. From the way she was talking I knew she was crying, which made me almost cry. Then she asked of Baba and Hajiya I told her they were downstairs, so she told me to give them the phone to greet them. I went downstairs it seems they were already In their room so I went to their room and knocked at the door, which I heard Hajiyas voice "come in", then i said "salm" before entering then they answered "wlsm". I told them what brought me to thier room and dialled Ummah's number which she picked and spoke with both of them for some minutes before I left for my room. I even spoke with Qasim and Abdulkareem they rejoiced through the phone with me, making lots of jokes and laughter. I really missed them cause whenever am with them I never get bored. We spoke for almost half an hour, they told me lots of things that had happened in Kano before I finally ended the call with them.
 
  I went online chatting with Raliya about my admission, when Fareeda also messaged me that She got admitted too. I was happy we both got admitted, but our courses were different, hers was History and International relation the course she applied for. I was still chatting with my friends when Larai came to my room telling me that Hajiya said i should prepare to go to the market tomorrow to shop for my School stuff. Then I told Fareeda about it, so we planned to go together.

During dinner I told Hajiya that Fareeda would be going with us to the market to buy her school stuff too, because she also got admitted and we would resume school together. Hajiya was glad with the idea. So she told us to prepare a list of things we would buy. I messaged Freeda about it and wrote down mine.

The next morning after my salat i called Fareerda before taking my bath cos she is so good in waisting time. After my bath, I wore a simple outfit of black jalabiya wit a flat slippers and a golden chain hand bag. I am not a makeup freak so I just looked into the mirror to see if my face wasn't rough.

I left for the parlour and fortunately Hajiya was also stepping out from her room when I was about to sit and wait for her. she asked "kin shirya ko?" and  I answered "yes", then she told me to call Fareeda because we will stop by her house to pick her up. So i quickly called her which she said she was all set. we went to about two different markets, Fareeda happens to be d choosy type she made us spend more time in the market. Hajiya also shopped for the things we needed at home. we got home all exhausted.

We bought ice cream before getting home becuse we were hungry. We dropped Fareeda at home before getting to our house. It was few minutes past Zuhr prayer. Larai and Zakari the gateman helped us to pack all the things we bought inside, i got to my room took a quick shower and immeditely observed my Zuhr prayer. I was still sitting on my praying mat when Larai came to my room with my food all set on a tray. I told her she shouldn't have bothered but she said Hajiya asked her to bring it, so I asked about Hajiya whom she said was in her room eating. Then she left and I quickly removed my Hijab and started eating I was so hungry because I ate just little for breakfast besides I love food. After the food I returned the tray back to the kitchen and came back to my room bouncing on my bed, with the stress of the market instantly i slept off.
