Second Chance

3; Is it just another Crush?

         Waking up to her mood swings or should I say mood tsunamis,because the girl's mood has always been weird.She felt lazy and everything irks her right now.Her mum left for the office already likewise her siblings are at school,and it's already noon.Her phone rang and she chose to ignore it.It was this guy she met at her uncle's wedding in Adamawa,she wondered how he got her number.All he does is disturb her eardrums with all his fulfulde flows,She told him she's not interested but he refused to back off.

While she was lazying around,she heard small voices coming from the living room,she walked down to them and greeted "Welcome back girls,I'm not in the mood...so just do the needful"She patted both on their shoulders and they nodded.

She's so grateful the little girls understand her antisocial phase,they are used to it,so they only help trying to cheer her and not disturb her.

After asr prayer,she took her phone and opened opened instagram.She viewed some bloggers story which she was least interested in,next up was her man's story,Oops not yet but she mean Nafiu's story.It was a snap of him   And a friend of his she guessed ,his friend was driving while he was chilling by the side.Today he's wearing a Moroccan jallabiya maroon in colour,which compliment his skin and he wasn't even wearing a cap ,so it's the wind and his curly hair toying with her poor heart,let's not talk about his smile,She's not even exaggerating but when he smiles the atmosphere seem to brighten up too.

She watched the snap on his story for umpteenth time now,and something in her persuaded me to reply the story,as for what she should say she doesn't even know.Something told her to wish him happy birthday since his birthday is tomorrow.

"Happy birthday,I hope I'm the first to wish you this year",then she hit the send button without even thinking twice.After that she kept her phone on the nightstand,and headed to the kitchen she's to make dinner today.

After contemplating for a while,she decided to make rice ,some kidney and veggies sauce for her mum and stew for them,and mint mojito.
She grabbed to skillet ,the kidney from the freezer and then the rest of the ingredients.She got another cooking pot and fire the stove to cook the white rice.She was doing her thing and thinking about random stuff,that she didn't notice time has passed by and she done cooking.She took everything to the dining table and set it.

She finished showering and got ready and prayed magrib.After praying,She strode downstairs and met everyone at the table,and guess what they were eating without her.

"Salaam Alaykum Traitors",She said the Taslim pointing fingers at her mum and sisters.
"Wa alayki salaam my sweetheart ",my mum said and She frowned."I cooked this meal you're not supposed to start without me",Nafeesah whined.

All of them dropped their spoons and hold their ears in a sorry manner ,and chorused "we are sorry"."It's fine,I knew you couldn't resist the aroma of food made by yours truly",she praised and flips her hair.

Nafeesah sat down and they all enjoyed their meal together.They prayed their  Isha prayer and watch our favorite show for and hour,then her sister begged to watch cartoon with them.They had watched molly of Denali and sang the theme song with them as if they were toodlers.

After two hours of watching the kids shows,She tucked them in,bade her mum Goodnight and went to my room.She mentally scolded herself when she remembered that she had a phone.

She changed into her pajamas and jumped onto her bed then she grabbed her phone.She checked her WhatsApp and reply few messages from her cousins whom she's never met physically because they lived in kano and she's never been to kano,so theu chatted a bit before shw left the app to her new favorite (instagram).

She scrolled through feeds,liked a few post and then went on to view stories ,just there she stumble upon my favorite story,Nafiu's.

It was a video of lip syncing to a song dressed in a T-shirt with a big irony BROKE written on it.She said it's an irony because she doesn't think this handsome man is really broke,but who cares she only need a person with a good heart in her life.She smiled and watched the story over and over again,then She replied to his story.

"I wish you all the positive vibes and happiness in the world,happy birthday handsome ".She clicked send button and didn't even realize she  just DM a guy,don't judge her because she did that as a reflex action.

She viewed other stories of people she followed and felt so sleepy until her vision became blurry and she slept off with a smile on her lips.

12:35am
 
She tossed and turned for so many minutes,then she sat upright and grabbed her phone and then let out a yawn  and unlock her  phone,there there was a message,and a smile made a way to her  lips.She checked the message and went bananas ,it was a message from Nafiu. It was a reply for the message She sent earlier.

"Seriously I'm awestruck,how did you know it's my birthday ?,thanks anyway.Aww she blushed so hard reading the message ,that if it were daytime someone might think her cheeks are tomato red,she's so flushed.Again and again she went over it. She smiled and then replied to the message.

"Welcome dear,I hope I was the first to wish you this year since it's tomorrow"The message was seen and in a sec he was typing.Then his message came in ."Yes you're first at it this year,but you didn't tell me how you knew because we don't even know each other"

She read the message and she was skeptical about what to tell him,should I just tell him I stalked his page,gush how will I tell him that,it will make me look creepy. She thought for a minute and typed..

"A little birdie told me,you know when you have a crush on someone one tend to gather information about them",that's how I know."Okay good I'm your crush now,nice move by the way",he inserted an emoji indicating he chuckled."Yes sir"she replied and smiled to myself,she yawned and this time she's sleepy again.

"Goodnight birthday boy,grow old before morning" She messaged."Night dream girl❤️"he replied

She prayed to Rakaat of nawafil before sleeping again,She was so happy and she felt another sort of bond connected to her heart tonight,with that she called it a night.
