Zahra🌺

I woke up today with mixed emotions. I was excited to see Mr anonymous and at the same time scared of the consequences involved if I get caught.

"Missing me already" smirked Mamu.

I just ignored her and moved to the wardrobe to find something to wear.

"Oh c'mon stop sulking already and tell me what's wrong!" She ordered

I needed someone to confide in because it's really eating me up inside.

I opened my chat with Annonymous and pass her the phone quietly.

OMG!!! you have a date today!!! She squealed.

"Why can't you be serious for once? He said he's coming to this house today! What if I get caught?? Don't you think I'll be in trouble??" I sparked.

"Then just say he's a friend! I Know you're scared of Yaya right??" She asked to which I simply replied with a nod.

"I'll be on the lookout and you'll have to rush your date" she said wiggling her brows.

Thank you so much Mamu. You're such a lifesaver.

"Now cheer up young lady. We have a date to plan" she giggled.

Good morning Beautiful 😍. Hope you're very excited for today. I Can't wait 😁

I decided to ignore the message as my heart was racing and I was feeling uneasy suddenly.

I wore a simple Ankara gown and a cap to ditch tying the scarf.

I applied only Kohl and lipgloss before going downstairs for breakfast.

After breakfast, I called my parents and spoke to them. Before Mama said we should go and arrange Yaya's room since he's not around.

I was arranging the bedside cabinet for him when I saw something that scared the hell out of me.

Innalillahi wa Inna ilahi rajiun!!! Tears were rolling freely from my eyes. I can't believe what I am seeing..

Mamu heard my sobs and came to check on me but she also froze in her steps.

"Mamu is what am seeing true?? Please tell me it's a lie... Ba nashi bane koh??" I exclaimed.

Instead of answering me, she packed everything back inside the drawer and drag me to the garden.

She wiped my tears and sat down near me with her eyes Misty...

"You must be in doubt right now thinking maybe it's not his right?
Well am sorry to say... It's his own! Everything you saw there belongs to him." She clarified.

But...  How....?? Why????

Abbi's death made a very drastic change in our lives especially Mama and Yaya.
Mama is matured so she handled the loss well.
   But Yaya on the other hand was terribly affected both emotionally and psychologically.
   Alot of responsibilities fell on his shoulders at such a young age. He was so devastated that he had to undergo therapy for 6months.
     He started recovering but he changed completely into a different person. He doesn't eat well, he isolates himself  and sleeps alot.
      I went to arrange his room one fateful day and unfortunately I found bottles of syrup under his bed. I was flabbergasted Zahra!!!
      I locked myself up in the bathroom and cried so much that day. I couldn't tell Mama because I know it will break her and Zara was small then.

She broke into tears and I hugged her also crying. When the tears subsided, she carried on.

I was so scared Zahra as I knew how dangerous drug abuse was. I thought I will also loose Yaya just like we lost Abbi.
I made up my mind to talk to him about it and when he returned I confronted him.
He doesn't enjoy doing it but he found peace whenever he takes it. He confessed to me that he was introduced by a friend and now he can't stop even though he wants to.

I found out that after his therapy session, he became depressed and we never noticed. I spoke to Mama about it and she sent him to rehabilitation center immediately.

"He overcame the addiction Zahra.. Yes he did!! My brother is a fighter. A very strong one..." She paused and wiped my tears.

Yaya was very intelligent but after the therapy and rehab sessions, he lost interest in everything regarding school.

He indulged his self in music. Seeing that he finds peace and solace in it, Mama built him a studio as a bribe for him to study hard.

Earlier this year, I found out that he still takes it once in awhile. To induce sleep when he keeps having nightmares or when he remembers Dad.

I didn't tell Mama because he made me promise and seeing that it wasn't intense I kept the promise.

I Know he'll stop it one day definitely. I have faith in him as he always fulfills his promises.

"You're indeed a very good sister for supporting your brother through his dark times Mamu.
  Yaya is indeed a very strong fighter and I will always respect him. Thank you for sharing this with me. It means alot to me" I spoke.

We stayed there for a while before going back inside the house.

*************
I was nervously pacing up and down in our bedroom. The time shows 4:16pm and I am currently waiting for Mr anonymous to show up.

Annonymous🙄: Am waiting in the garden Queen 👑. Don't keep me waiting 😁.....

"Mamu!!!!!! He's here.... OMG!!! What should I do???" I ranted.

Relax Zahra!! Mama and Yaya have gone out so you have up to 30minutes. Just go and don't forget to smile.

On approaching the garden, I saw him sitted on a chair backing me while listening to say you won't let go by James Arthur.

"Assalamualaikum Mr Anonymous" I said trying to sound cool.

"Wa alaikumu salam my love" he replied after reducing the volume still backing me.

I could swear I heard Yaya's voice right now.

Uhmmmm... Am here.

"You named me Mr Anonymous!? That's very funny and unusual" he exclaimed while turning around.

Y...y..yya...... Yaya!!!!!
I stuttered in fright.
What are you doing here??

"Isn't it obvious? I thought you were expecting me?"came his short reply.

No!! It's impossible. It can't be...

I immediately dialled Mr Anonymous number and to my utmost Surprise, the phone in his hand was ringing.

I started taking steps backwards and he was following.

Zahra come and sit down let's talk please!!!

I was shaking my head negatively.

I finally turned to leave

I love you Zahra!
I really do!!! Alot.. please listen to me....

Then I froze on the spot.....

We finally confessed 💃💃
