NASRIN

CHAPTER 25

NASRIN

It was a few minutes after maghrib prayer ,My legs almost gave out on me when I exited the taxi ,the Yoruba man with tribal marks on his face kept arguing the price with me .

"Madam my money be three tasand oo"he frowned his face not liking the fact that I wasn't agreeing

"No oo I'm not paying three thousand from the airport to my house haba,I just came back I only have two thousand just collect it"I said already getting irritated with the man. The sun was very hot and my black clothes weren't helping.

"See as your house big and fine you come dey talk nonsense"my face twisted in confusion,the man was being inconsiderate and so what if the house is big it's not like it's actually actually my house

"Oga please oya take 2500"he stared at me for a few seconds before grumbling and snatching the money out of my hand.i let out a sigh of relief when he drove off ,I turned to the huge matte black gate,welcome back to my sweet lonely huge house"I mentally said to my self obviously filled with sarcasm.

I pulled two off my fully packed heavy boxes filled with gifts for my friends and family to the gate and pressed the passcode,the gates made a beeping sound before opening,the gateman saw me  and  quickly ran to where I was

"Hajiya sannu da zuwa" (welcome back madam)

"Hello please help me with this boxes"he nodded and quickly swiped the boxes out of my hold,I  dragged my exhausted body into the house not minding to lock it I told the gate man to keep them by the top of the stairs,I will pull it to my room myself ,he did as he was told and left.

After opening the windows and curtains,I changed my bedsheets and bed cover ,I put on the humidifier and turned on the ac .

I finally decided to take a bath,I slipped out of my clothes and wrapped a towel around me ,I prepared a bath for myself but realized the scented candles were in the kitchen so I decided to go downstairs with my towel knowing I was alone in the house so I didn't bother About anyone seeing my semi covered body,

I went to the kitchen and found the candles at the top cabinet,I quickly grabbed it ,just when I was about to turn and head upstairs,I heard the sound of the front door opening,ohh fudge I quickly switched the kitchen light off ,maybe it was the gateman he probably came to drop the garage key on the counter ,I waited a few seconds so I would know if he left ,I heard footsteps then it stopped,I let out a sigh of relief and started walking out of the dark kitchen.

Just when I was about to get to the  door the clicked open on and I screamed when I saw a figure,my instincts took over and i immediately threw the candle jar at the person

"Fucking hell"the person groaned,that voice sounds familiar ,the voice that belongs to the owner which I despise more than anything. I looked up and was met with the murderous glare from Ahmed's dark eyes ,one hand was placed on his left shoulder trying to ease the pain ,
I almost started laughing at how funny he  looked when he tried to put up an angry face. But I couldn't hold it

"Keh!,what's funny"

I placed one hand on the counter for support so I wouldn't fall.

"Yo...ur..your ..fa..fa...face" my laughter intensified,la haula nasrin today is going to be your last day on earth ,he became angrier.oh shit!!

"So fucking what,do I look like a fucking clown" I immediately straightened up and cleared my throat ,what is he even doing here.

He turned to leave for the staircase not before giving me a death glare.
He was half through the staircase ,I just didn't know when the next thing I shouted made him to turn his back and look at me .
