A week Later,
My Waec result was out and It was a distinctionful, excellent result that deserves waiting for. I mean, I scored seven A1's and two B2's out of the nine subjects I registered for.
The jamb result was equally awesome! It came out with 330. Well, mum... I mean Hajia Maryam is working an admission for me into the university of Abuja and ABU, Zaria. I just can't wait to become a gynecologist. Yaay!!...

She clinged to my hand all through and persuaded to drop me off. I opposed but she insisted.We went to where she parked her car and she put all the baggage into the boot. It was a white model 6, Lexus jeep. She said her dad presented it to her last year, on her sweet-sixteenth birthday. I wanted a lab-coat for my 16th birthday; but my dad bought me a wrist-watch instead.I only heard her parents were filthy rich. As she was born and brought up in South Africa.

***12: 00 p.m.It's been six hours now and the rain just stopped. I sat on a piece of stone, gazing at the hot, shinny ball rising in the blue sky. How I wish the sun would understand my feelings, heal my wounds or perhaps, send Mrs. Akerele to open the gates.I was still outside, knocking. Why is Hajia Maryam doing this to me? She picked me from my fathers house and promised to be my guide and support. Why did she lock me outside in this condition? Where exactly did I go wrong? Is it so wrong to raise my children as my own?I couldn't stop myself from crying as I thought of these. I kept hitting the gate with a pebble. I knocked louder and louder again, till I got tired. Nobody helped me and I had nowhere to go. I had no other option than to w

Mum was her first patient after her honeymoon.Hajia Zainab was still on a bed receiving a drip as they treated her wounds. Her psychiatrist proposed they sign her up for a psychiatric evaluation.Dad explained all what happened. It was evidently clear that two things made her go nuts. Either the gunshot or her missing daughter.They moved her into a solitary room in the psychiatric ward immediately. She needed to consult her that day.***After the check up, I went through series of

Dr. Lulu and two other nurses went into the solitary room but no one was there."Yaa Kareem! She must have escaped!!"Looking through the window, she saw her running into the main road.Hajia Zainab didn't even know how to drive a car. She beat up a man making call in his car and threw him out. She drove away saying she's going to all around Nigeria to find her daughter. Dr. Lulu immediate followed her but my mum was so fast. Dr. Lulu called the police and informed them to track her down, it was a stolen car. Soon, she hit the car to a lorry parked at the corner of the road.She was bleeding on het forehead but she was still conscious. Dr. Lulu immediately took her out of the car but she started throwing stones and sands on everybody. The ambula

A Week Later...For a while, she has been seeing me in her dreams, prayering for her good health, well being and her fruitlfulness.Hajia maryam became sick with guilt and her conscience wasn't clear. She kept on crying and couldn't stop feeling guilty about sending me out. One day,as she was cooking dinner, her vision suddenly clouded as she held her head in pain. Everything around her spinned as her vision became blurry, she fell down and fainted.Alhaji Akereke was just entering from office when he decided to check on her (even though they were still mad at each other.) He was shocked to see her lying on the floor and quickly rushed her to the hospital.***Later in the hospital, In t

Abuja,8:30 a.m.When Zainab entered. She called me into her room."I want to advice you as a sister and a friend. Stay away from that doctor, He didn't deserve anything from you, not even a portion of your friendship."I sat beside her master-sized bed. It was as if she was preparing to go out for another blind-date or something."The way you guys acted today, I think you're somehow destined to meet. I mean... He felt really sad and he really wants to be friend with you."She let out a laughter and hissed."Excuse me.. but, what are you saying Aisha?""For goodness sake

Dad went to visit mum in the hospital, It haven't been easy for everyone.Ibrahim first heard the horn of their jeep. Thinking it was dad, he rushed to open the gate.

***"It's so unbelievable. Did he tell his mother what happened? Why would he do this to me?..." I thought."Doctor Abdullah?""Yes, I'm his mother. He sent me your picture about a month ago so you see... I know you well... I mean, you would be surprised how much I know about you, darling." She swiped the screen of her phone and showed me the picture he sent. I looked so confused, letting in the wrong person."I suggested he propose to you but you rejected him. Why?

It was Zaytoon."Excuse me please," He told Madinah and picked the call, taking few steps away from her."It's almost dark, aren't you coming home?!" I started."I'll be on my way dummy! Hajia, You can't even salama!" He replied and hissed at the same time I did. "Don't bother making dinner for me, okay?""Whatever Mr. Lover-boy! As if I care!" I finally cut the call.After the call, an awkward silence remained between them. Zayd remembered what he was doing before the call.'How stupid could I be!'

It was a cool afternoon. One of those days that early afternoons would grow enough to look like late evenings -The time when one could mistake Thursday to be a Saturday...Madinah and Zayd decided to go for a simple stroll outside the hotel, under the warm sun, side by side, the way lovers usually do. The yellow sun hide under the thick clouds as if it was shy about their little romance. Of course, there's nothing as beautiful as roaming the streets of Lagos with someone you truly love so much... You'll end up rather impressed than disappointed.Madinah wore a tight black leggings and a long, purple, indian-gown with a black pashmina that fits her well. She hanged her long-armed, purple purse and wore a shiny, black sneakers to match the outfit. Zayd on his own was wearing a casual, white polo shirt and a black jean. This outing was what Madinah needs at least, to Zayd. He stared at her from time to time, admiring how gorgeous she looked even withou

Well, You can now see him.""Thank you doctor. I'm so grateful Zayd is alive!" She smiled."Thank God. We'll be discharging him later in the evening because he needs a lot of rest." He said and left for his office while Madinah went to Zayd's word.Zayd was sleeping when she entered and bandaged at the side of his back. A short nurse that was giving him a drip signalled her to sit and quietly left.Madinah sat on a red plastic chair facing where Zayd was lying. She stared at his weak face and held his hands tenderly.Tears gathered her eyes at she watched him breath slowly. It's all my fault. It's my fault you have you go through these. She weep silently.***

A Month later...I was watching an interview of the president Muhammadu Buhari on National Television Authority (NTA). It was an interesting Saturday program that I really loved. Grandmother was in her room having her usual afternoon nap when Zayd ran out of his room. I came rushing out after him with great enthusiasm."Zayd! What happened?! Any problem?!""No o, not at all." He said sweating pefusely.Tears gathered in his eyes and he was rubbing his head confusedly. It's so strange of him, I couldn't figure it out."But why are you acting this way?""I had a nightmare! I'm scared, Zay! Dynah was going to die. I felt her breath slowly leaving her body, it was so real...""Calm down Zayd. Why are you acting like a baby.

"May I have your order, please?" The waiter ordered."Shall we order?" Zayd asked her staring at her beautiful pearl-like face and doe-like eyes. It was as if he was having dinner with the moon."Yes, sure." She let out a soft smile, exposing her cute dimpled cheek.She collected the food menu from the waiter and ordered what she would like.Zayd couldn't help but to keep staring at her mesmerising beauty."What should I ask you first?"
