How Can You Mend My Broken Heart

CHAPTER 5

12th October 2023
Finally my babe had arrived in kano after a 3 days journey from Ghana, I was so happy and at the same time very anxious what if he doesn't like me? I kept asking myself
I really looked forward to meeting him but I was really very anxious, he called me and told me that he needed a Nigerian sim card if possible and I told him not to worry I will get him one, I tried my best but I couldn't get a new sim for him so I just decided to give him one of mine
Fast forward to when we first met
I was feeling nervous when he told me he is coming to our house to collect the sim, he had a friend who is a Nigerian and they are coming together, I gave them the address of my home even though I was scared, because its my first time having a boy come over to see me, and he is my first boyfriend, it was around 5 pm when his friend called me and told me that they had arrived, I quickly applied my powder,kohl and lipstick, I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I didn't look good but I looked presentable at least.
"You can do it salma" I said to myself as I walked out of the house, Aisha was distracting mom and my brothers, even though she didn't like him, she still had to protect me, I went outside the gate of the house, I couldn't spot them so I called his friend and they told me where they were, I walked closer to them and my heart kept skipping some beats, I spotted him wearing a white jallabiya and his friend wearing brown clothes, at that point I felt like turning around and going back home before they saw but I know it wouldn't be fair if I did that, I walked closer still feeling nervous, they didn't spot me, so when I was at the right position I called his friend and they both turned around and saw me, I was too shy to even look into his eyes, and I couldn't even allow him to see my face because of how shy I was feeling, I kept turning around not allowing him to see my face, after some time I gave him the sim card and a ring that I promise to give him, we didn't talk much and I went back home feeling satisfied.
As I entered the gate my mom was sitting in the house compound, she didn't even notice that I wasn't at home
As I entered she was shocked and asked where I went to I told her I went to our neighbours place
We met a couple of times and I even decided to cook for him twice to show him my gratitude and I did cook for him, I got too attached to him that thinking about him with another person hurts me a lot and I knew he wasn't gonna cheat on me, we took some pictures together



It was finally time for him to leave Nigera  and I was so heartbroken but I knew it had to happen sooner or later 😔
