We all headed home to change for the little dinner we where having to celebrate me and henna's graduation but I made an excuse not to go by saying I had a stomach ache .
The rest went to the dinner expect for hajia who said she was tired .
Every one left for the Dinner only me and hajia where left she told me she wanted to go and hang out in my room which was weird cause hajia never liked going to anyone's room except hers
We went to the side of the house where my room was located I opened the door and the first thing I noticed was a big card on top of my bed hajia was giving me a suspicious smile I carried it and I saw it was from my dad
Hajia told me to read it out load
"it said sorry I missed your graduation hunny if you forgive me can you come outside"
I felt like crying I quickly dropped the card and went to go and find my dad . I went to our parking space . As I saw my dad I quickly hugged him then I turned and heard hajia telling me in a childish voice " oh so your telling me am not as important as your father I can't remember you hugging me " o laughed and hugged both of them together this was the happiest day in my life .My father put his hand in his pocket and removed a small box that had a cute ribbon on it and gave it to me and said this is your graduation gift,I opened and saw a car key, which I noticed a benz logo on it , is this real I felt like shouting I thanked him . Then he took both me and hajia to where the car was packed the first think I noticed was the car was white and had two doors I didn't know what model it was cause I didn't really care about those kinds of things .He told me and hajia to enter I could see that hajia was very happy as we entered abba told me to enter the drivers seat I already knew how to drive cause abba forced me to go to a driving school two months ago for no reason he said it was for emergency. He told me to take it for a spin and I drove to the nearest ice cream place and bought ice cream even for hajia. Hajia was pulling my leg by telling me she's taking my car cause she likes it better than hers Abba was just laughing at her comment and she told me " Kai ajmal do you
think am joking am taking your car fa daman ke kishiya ta ce your dad should buy the same one for me she said in between laughs . I've never seen her laugh that much in her life she was always a no nonsense person even though hajia never liked my mum that didn't stop her from loving me . I drove us back home and we met the rest of my family at the gate while they were driving in
