The next day we booked tickets to Kaduna . Tim Tim insisted she must come with me so we came together.
I wanted to call ya tima and tell her that we are coming but before I did that Abu's call came in
"Hello baba tsoho"
"Ya muna. Good afternoon"
"Afternoon how are you?"
"Am fine Alhamdulillah how's work?"
"Work is hectic."
He sighed before he said " Ya muna we need your help"
"My help? For what? Is something wrong? You are scaring me"
"Ya muna we don't have anything. Nothing to eat now not even tomorrow. Nadiya and layla don't go to school talkless of my jamb and waec registration. Hmm ya muna first I didn't want to inform but we can't survive it any more. And as the useless son I am, I can't help my father" He said almost at the range of crying
"Subahana Allah please stop saying that I would help you it's okay. But I'm a bit angry that you didn't inform me early"
"How can I tell you to help us? Remember what Abba did to you"
"Shh stop saying that. It's OK. I'll come. fortunately am on my way to kaduna"
"Really would you come please?"
"I don't think so..... I'll come and pick you" He said cutting me off because he knows I would say no.
"So you know how to drive?"
"Yes. Haba ya muna am 17 fah"
"Kai baba tsoho I don't want to die young. You are already old me that am young inko?" I said just to make him laugh
"Bye bye" He said laughing as he cut the call
"Is it baba tsoho?" Asked Tim Tim
"Yes they are really suffering" They don't have what to eat talk less of their school or Abu's waec and jamb fees "
"Yes I heard everything he said. Abba left every body because of that woman if not so many would have helped him. We would help them right ?"
Of course

"Oyoyo ya muna oyoyo ya Tim Tim"
I heard someone hugging me tightly. I turned and boom! Guess who I saw Nadiya.
I looked at Tim Tim while she also looked at me.
"Oyoyo Nady" I said faking a smile.
"How was your trip?" She asked
"Fyn"
"How was your trip ya Tim Tim?
Tim Tim glared at her" Ya Muna let's go am hungry"
"She must be tired" I said feeling bad because even though she doesn't deserve to be treated well but Tim Tim is not supposed do do this to her.
"Ya Tim Tim, ya muna am sorry" She said with her head down. "Please" she added
"yo Sissy!" Yelled abu
"Bro!!!" Tim Tim yelled happily because she knows he's referring to her. Even Nadiya is not close to him like how Tim Tim is.
They hugged each other. Awwnn ! They missed each other
"Someone didn't even notice me" I said faking a sniff.
"Haba ya muna you know I will come to you "
"Don't talk to me"I said with my head sideways
"Haba ya muna" the most beautiful chef in the world.
