UMMUABIHA( Her father's mother)

Chapter 35

7 day's later.

Everyone left today, the house doesn't feel the same anymore. Only Adda sabeeha, Adda Amra and the family of uncle Abdulazeez.

Amira and maryam said they will come back but she knows they won't, they're preparing for uni.

She's sitting in her room when she saw a letter. She opened it and began reading.
If one day you feel like crying, call us, We did not promise to make you laugh but We promise to cry with you. If one day you want to run away, don't be afraid to call us, We did not promise to ask you to stop but We promise to run with you. If one day you don't want to listen to anyone, call us, we promise to be there for you but also promise to remain quiet. But if one day you call us and there's no answer, come fast to see us, perhaps we need you.

This world is a strange place isn't it, you can never make out what it holds for everyone. We might have split up and gone our way's but we will never forget each other and the moments we shared together.
Class of 2014...we love you barkindo. We will meet soon.

She closed the letter and sat down, new tear's cascading down her cheeks. She love's her classmates but no doubt she love's her best friends more. She also gave hauwa and ikram the same kind of watch. She carried her watch and put it on. She pressed the middle sending signal to the rest.

Rayyan saw the watch beeped in his hand while he was studying and smiled.

Ikram saw the watch beeped in her hand and smiled. She's getting married today.

Hauwa saw the watch beeped in her hand and smiled, she's leaving the country, she's going abroad for her studies.

The four friends all have different things in mind. We shall meet again.
She carried the locket and put it on, promising never to remove it.

Just then hamma Aneel came in and called ummi downstairs.
She followed him and went downstairs to the living room, she saw everyone sitting there except for the little one's.

She sat down close to mami, she saw an imam and Abi's lawyer.

They have come to share the property and tell them Abi's last will but ummi never thought that's what his last will be.

The imam shared the properties but ummi is just seventeen she has to turn 21 to assert her rights on the properties.

She nodded and was about to stand up when the lawyer said something which made ummi sit back.

"His last will is that ummi goes back to kano and stay with his childhood friend Abdulazeez" the lawyer said and everyone nodded except ummi who's still trying to register what the lawyer said.

"I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE" ummi said stressing each word she said to make herself clear.

The lawyer and imam took their leave and everyone now has to calm ummi down.

"Ummi you have to go, it's your father's last wish" mami said leaving ummi dazed.

"Mami pls I don't want to leave you and go" ummi replied tear's flowing freely.

"Hey even I am leaving kaduna after I finish mourning for his death, so just go" mami said.

"No mami pls I don't want to go" she said shaking her head.

"Adda Amra pls take me with you, I don't want to go to kano" she said.

"Ummi I can't go with you, you have to fulfill his last wish" Adda Amra said.

"How will I even forget that you will never take me with you, I am just a burden to you and you're finally getting rid of that" she said. The word's went straight into Adda Amra's heart, piercing into it.

"Adda sabeeha pls tell mami I don't want to go, hamma dan Allah" she pleaded.

"It's only when his last wish is fulfilled that his soul will Rest In Peace" hamma Aneel said calmly.

"Adda sabeeha pls take me with you instead" she said.

"Yes mami let me take her pls" adda sabeeha said looking at mami.

"She's going with Abdulazeez and that's final" mami said and stormed upstairs.

"Mama pls tell her I don't want to go, I want to stay with her" she pleaded to mama.

Mama looked at her wiping her own tear's.

"I hate all of you" ummi said and left for her room.

She went into the room and sat down. All she wanted was to stay and support mami, she wanted to be there for her and assure her that everything will be okay but on the second thought she also needed someone to tell her that this too shall come to pass and for the first time in six years she missed Akhi, she missed him more than anything, I miss him, I miss him, I miss him so much. I wish he was here with me, to tell me that everything will be okay in his soothing voice. I miss him so much; she kept saying.

And for the first time in six year's, she cried, not for anyone but for herself, she cried for her disheveled family, she cried for her broken home, she cried for her pathetic life, she cried for her parents, she cried for her best friends, she cried for her future and what's to come and lastly she cried for her Akhi.
