We just closed from school and every one is on their way home. I was to meet Aisha around 4:00pm coz of her date with Bashir.
I went straight to my room when I got home. Mama went to mama Faisal's house and my two senior brothers went to their work place and Aliyu is in the next compound with his friend, while baba is at the market where he sells his tomatoes and other vegetables. That means, I'm the only one at home. Although, I've already told them about my sleepover with Aisha.
After I finished cooking white rice and stew, I went to shower so I could be on my way to Aisha's house.
Later around 4:30pm
Mama later came back when I was about to leave for Aisha's house.
" mama sai da safe( mama till tomorrow in the morning) I said.
" OK my daughter, come back early in the morning because tomorrow which is Saturday, we will be having some visitors and I need your help around the house. " she said
" OK mama." I answered. I hugged her before leaving the house.
**
" I thought you wouldn't make it.I was about to start crying " Aisha said with a pout .
It wasn't long I reached her house.
" I had to make dinner before leaving the house. That was why I came late"
We are in her room arranging the dress and makeup kit we would be using. Aisha is going to wear a red fitted gown with a small Vail which she will be using to cover her hair and a 5 inch heels👠. I know she is going to look so perfect with her nice body.
However, I will be wearing my simple Atampa gown and my one inch wedge shoes with a small Vail.
"I want us to look perfect tonight Ameera" Aisha gushed. She is so excited for this outing. Why wouldn't she?
"I know you will look beautiful and Bashir wouldn't be able to take his eyes off you" I'm happy for her.
" look who is talking, you are the one having the beauty and the shape. We are all going to look good and I want to hook you up with his friend. He is nice and also good looking" she said wiggling her brows.
" Nope, I don't think I'm ready for any boys shenanigan right now. I just want to have time for myself, since we are about to write our WAEC exam " I said thoughtfully.
Aisha looked at me and just smile.
" Sanu yar Boko (well-done school lover) " she joked..
" Ke kika sani( it's you that know) "I replied back,jokingly.
She like teasing me about my love for school. Truth be told, I do love school which is why I want to try hard to finish with flying colors.
My elder brother finished his NCE last two years and now, he is a teacher at a government secondary school at kigo road. While my second elder brother is in his final year at kaduna polytechnics tudun wada. They all struggle to pay for their school tuition and also promise to pay for my university tuition when the time comes.
I know I'm lucky to have two elder brothers that love me dearly.
" what are you thinking about? " Aisha asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Nothing. We better start dressing before Bashir and his friend arrive" I said instead.
"Yes, that is true"
We both began dressing. It's already 6:00pm and Bashir is coming over by 7:00pm. We put on our clothes and apply some makeup. After I was done, I decided to go down to their kitchen to get some water.
On my way downstairs, I saw Aisha's house help sweeping the sitting room.
" Good evening aunty Ameera" she greeted. She is just fifteen years old.
" How are you, Amina? I asked
" I'm fine thank you "she answered.
I entered their kitchen and opened the fridge,i took one bottle of water and drank from it.
Aisha's parent went to Zaria and her senior sister is already married with two kids, her other senior sister schools at Amadu Bello university Zaria.
FEW MINUTES LATER
We are still in aisha's room, waiting for Bashir and his friend. He already called and told us they were on their way to pick us.
A sound of car honk was heard.i think they are already here.
" I think they are here already " Aisha said, speaking my thought.
" Yeah" I replied back.
The sound of door bell was later heard, Aisha's househelp will open the door for them anyways.
We both hurried up. We checked the mirror to see if we were good to go. We both look good. Aisha of course was the most beautiful, her dress fitted her so well.
After the last touch of makeup we went downstairs. We heard voices of two men talking,Bashir and his friend both engaged themselves in a conversation.When they heard the sound of our heels they stopped talking. They both turned to look at our direction and damn, this two men are so fine. I think the one in blue T-shirt is Bashir because his eye were set on Aisha. He kept looking at her like some love sick puppy.
" Hello ladies " said Bashir breaking the silence.My dear friend was seriously blushing beside me.
I nudge her side. She was supposed to introduce us.
" uhmm.....Ameera meet bashir and his friend Aminu, Guys meet my best friend, Ameera " she introduced us.
I was so shy
The guys were good-looking . They dressed up nicely. I even felt insecure with the way I dressed. Everyone was wearing an English wear and I'm the only one putting on atampa . I should have listened to Aisha, she told me to put on something like hers but I was so adamant that I wanted to wear atampa. I don't have money to buy a dress and I don't want Aisha to buy it for me coz she has done a lot for me.
I greeted them with a simple
" Hi" I don't know what else to say. They only replied with a smile and nod of head.
Awkward alert. The situation was so awkward. I don't talk alot.
" So let get going" Aisha said with a smile.
" Yeah, ladies first" Bashir held the door for us..
Enjoy 😀
