3 years back
After strolling on the empty street for what seemed like an hour, I started thinking deeply about where we would spend the night.
We listed the friends we had and if they could accommodate us, for just a night, but couldn't come to a decision. After several thoughts, I suggested we go to Jibrin's - our secondary school friend's house. After our parent's death, he was one of the people that stood by us.
We took a cab and gave the driver the address of where we were headed. Immediately we alighted, I brought my wallet out and paid the driver.
We knocked on the gate and the security men opened the gate and asked us who we were looking for at that time of the night.
"Sir,
EditedYushraf POVFlashback continues 3years agoWe left Aunt Sarah's house and went straight to the car park, where we would board a car from kano to Lagos - to uncle Jaafar's place. We had been seated inside the bus for a while now and it wasn't filled up yet. We were told it was remaining just two passengers before we would embark on the journey. It didn't take too much time before the bus got filled up. Immediately it did, the driver began to drive, but not before exchanging pleasantries with his colleagues. Because it was our first time travelling in a commercial car, everything seemed so funny to us. Indeed it was the beginning of knowing what poverty really
Yushraf's POV "Yushraf! Yushraf!!" Reedah yelled, bringing me back to reality. I wiped away the tears that threatened to fall on my cheeks."Reedah, let just go home. I can't stay here anymore please. " I beseeched."Yushraf, you want us to go home and we haven't even sold more than two bags of the bottled water here. Remember we really need money, especially now that our resumption day is already approaching and we need foodstuff and other things. We've been given scholarship doesn't mean they will provide for us. We have to struggle for our needs ourselves." Reedah said, getting pissed off."Reedah, you don't get it. I can't stay here and watch Bashar humiliate us like his father did that day." It was really unfortunate and unforgettable memory that will never be erased.She turned back and saw Bashar leaning on his car, with a gi
Deejah's POVI was bored and tired. I couldn't wait for this fucking lecture to be over. Mina did not come to school today and I had no idea what happened to her. She wasn't the type to just skip school, without a valid reason, especially because her dad was very strict and didn't play with stuff concerning the academy.I made a mental note to call and find out what stopped her from coming to school today.*******I heaved a sigh of relief, as the lecturer finally stepped out of the classroom. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialled Mina number. After the third ring, she picked up."Hey, babe! What stopped you from coming to school today?" I inquired."I'm not feeling fine. I've been feeling discomfort in my stomach." She responded."Oh! miss foodie. What did you eat to upset your stomach?" I asked, t
Deejah POVI couldn't not even make it to Mina house again after what this guy did to me today.I felt embarrassed about it but I won't let it fade he must face the consequences of slapping me.I drove back home, Without even answering anybody greeting I went straight to my room.I could feel my cheeks go red and wet from the amount of tears that drop, and I quickly got off my bed and rushed to the bathroom and locked the door behind me.As I stare at my reflection on mirror, my eyes were red and swollen, another tears streamed down my face I didn't wipe them away, nor stop my self from crying. I spilt the tears.My heart was hammering in my chest, and I can't seem to stop replaying the moment.It was just too embarrassing that the person I've had a crush on since i first stare has his brown eyes, even if it was just for a short w
Yushraf POVToday was very hestic for us especially what happened between us and that stupid girl, I don't really know why she have to act like that just because Reedah advertised water to her. Everything just seem to be annoying.I just hate her with even mere looking at her face. Quiet alright she's beautiful, but God she's just too repugnant for my likely.I stood up after taking a short nap which make me feel relaxed. I went to the bathroom and took a long shower, then went to my closet and change into something casual.I could smell the burning of something from the kitchen. I quickly rush down to the living room only to find Reedah on the floor sleeping. Which already gave me answer that she's cooking but unfortunately slept off and now the food is burning.I went straight to the kitchen and quench the charcoal. It was making m
Yushraf's POV After pushing me hard inside, the door closed behind me. I swallowed hard, not forgetting the dirty slap I received earlier.When I alighted the van and was taken straight to the interrogating room. There, different questions were thrown at me.The sound of the locks clicking shut behind me, loud. That was one heavy chunk of metal and I heard the bolts slide on the inside. For a fact, I knew I could never open that door even if I spend the rest of my life, trying, unless they open it themselves.No one looked back after locking it behind me. I was just another breathing corpse in there.I turned, eyes rolling over the concrete walls looking from the corner of the cell. It was just a box for a human yet there were other people inside too. There wasn't anything else, except for the bunk. The bars were really thick, and I
Deejah's POV It had been three days, since I made dad call on detectives to arrest that man. I didn't even know his name, though the sister had mentioned his name, but I couldn't remember what it was.It was not like I even cared to know actually.I should be happy that I got my revenge in a better way, but no, I couldn't actually pinpoint my exact feeling.I wanted to talk to dad about it. He should let him go, because he had had enough of the suffering. After all, he was arrested to face hard labor and for the past three days, I had been already regretting the action dad took. It wasn't his fault entirely. I should also be blamed for taking the issue too seriously from the beginning.I hated that sister of his more, because had it not been for her, everything would have been okay and that guy wouldn't have slapped me.
Yushraf's POV What is the essence of life, when you don't have anybody in this world to save you from what you're going through!The only person I had was Reedah and I didn't even know how she was doing. I really felt bad for leaving her in such a terrible state of mind on that fateful day, but I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening.I wished l was able to console her and assure her everything would be okay, but no, I failed to do so. She had not even visited me since the day I was imprisoned. Maybe they did not allow her or worse, something bad happened to her.If anything happened to my sister I would never forgive that stupid girl for the rest of my life. I promised to make her regret ever knowing me."Mubarak, I am afraid something has happened to my sister that why she hasn't come here to check on me." I voiced, conce
