Adira
I sang whilst going through my instagram, liking and commenting on a few posts. I was going through some stories and got to Hakeem's story. He reposted one of my recent posts and captioned it my African star☆, I smiled to myself as I viewed it.
When Hakeem and I first got to know each other it was lowkey awkward at first because I didnt really think we would click considering different backgrounds and all. Surprisingly him and I grew to become comfortable with each other. I would literally wake up in my middle of the night and call because I had a bad dream or just because I wanted to rant about something stupid.
After a school term I would come back from boarding school so excited just so I could talk to him and update him on all the funny gossip from school.
Him and I, I wouldn't say we are best friends but somewhere along the line, we have a mutual friendship.
"Addie!"
"Ma!"
"Make yourself useful and come here!"
"Eish," I mumbled to myself as I got up to go to the kitchen.
"I'm here," I said, making my presence known in the kitchen.
"Why are you acting all big neh? In your room the whole day as if there isn't anything to be done around the house," she said as she waved a wooden spoon around. I decided to stay on then other side of the kitchen just to be safe from that big ass wooden spoon.
You know.....just staying safe..

"Ma I was packing," I said trying to sound convincing.
"I'm not stupid"
"Hmmm," I frowned in disappointment at my pathetic excuse.
"Can you start preparing the fish and go set the table, your dad isn't coming for lunch so don't set for him," she demanded

"So when you go when are you gonna come back?" She asked.
"Maybe November or December? Either one," I replied.
" oh..okay,"
"Bwa?" (What?)
"No it's just... ash..you're are going to be so far and for a long time as well," she whined.
"Don't worry ma," I chuckled.
"Hhhm," And I laughed some more.
