Sana
i barely slept, but i did, coz i was tired from yesterday. we both didnt sleep on time and we didnt really say anything coz i know he has been carried away in his deep thoughts. its really not a friendly atmosphere for him.
he still can't bare knowing he would never see his father again.
the next morning, i woke up and found him on the praying mat. once our eyes locked, he asked me to get ready for prayers which i hurriedly did. i prayed behind him. After we were done, i broke the silence
" khalifa you didnt sleep at all"
" goodmorning and how are you"
" okay ......fine..... goodmorning "
" sana i barely did. my eyes wouldn't close. i keep seeing baba. " i was sitting behind him, i move over to his front
" ya aka ji da hakuri" i said cupping his face in my hand.
" baba's death is hitting me"
" kayi hakuri... Allah loves him more" i stretched my legs and motion him to puts his head on my laps while i rub his hair
" you need to sleep" i said
" my eyes wont close"
" babe you need to be strong" a knock came through and it was lami. we were both surprised to see her,
"SALAM, goodmorning sir
goodmorning ma"
" lami?" i said, coz i was surprised to see her this early
" the aircommodeore has a visitor"
" a visitor?"
" yes. a lady"
" a lady?" i asked curiously
" its dr fati" she said lowering her voice. hearing that, he stood up with compulsion
" oh woow, just wooow" i said, ignoring me, he went down stairs. i am livid right now, but the best i can think for my self is to sit and calm down as its the teachings of the prophet( S.A.W) to sit quietly when anger is overwhelming.
" how dare she, what arrogance and audacity, the liver she has, to walk into my home this early morning to rub shit on my face"
KHALIFA
"fateemah what brings you here" i said surprised
" i was worried about you"
" why......"
" i assume you didnt sleep last night "
" need not to lie, i didn't, baba's picture keeps appearing right in my face, its not easy to loose a loved one."
" hey baby come here" she said drawing me into a hug, i dont care were the shoulder came from, all i need is a shoulder to lean on and cry. i am weak to battle anything. lami brought my phone, it was ringing,
unknown caller id.
" is she aware you were an accomplice to her brother's death?" my body froze at once bringing me back to my senses. " its sana
" i dont have anything to loose when i spew it out. are you sure you dont have anything to loose aircommodeore?"
" what do you want from me this s...."
" send her the hell out of my house right away." with ease, i pulled out from the embrace.
" in as much as i want to do this , i would let it slide, i have to let go. we should fear GOD. kwanan sana neh"
" you have to always rub it to my face that you like her more" fati said and i fell straight on the sofa.
