life of a never ever

chapter one : Introduction

The yellow rays of the slow receding sun cast pale shadows over kontagora barracks in jos.The air was cool and dry although the harmattan hadn't begun the rains were receding fast and the air getting drier.
It wasn't a surprise as a convoy of all black and army camouflage parked in front of the biggest building in the barracks , the Goc's house.
The first halt sound of the black leading Hilux was heard but just as soon as the sound was heard the gate was opened to expose a very large house decorated with flowers. The first three cars drove in straight to the car park and just then the right door of the middle black Gwagon was open for general A.T Muhammad a man in his late fifties huge and handsome.The black soldier who had just opened the door saluted him saying "permission sir".'carry on' was the generals only reply as he moved towards his house. It was a very big green and yellow house that was tiled up and decorated with flowers just by his left was the visitors hut and then opposite it was the main entrance. He pushed the front door open only to find the home theater booming with loud songs with relatively nobody in the sitting room.He shook his head he had just thought he would have a quiet evening with himself but haneefah , she had a special way of getting him angry without even being in his sight .It was becoming a habit for her this day's to be very annoying and indisciplined.What curse was it to have a daughter in a military environment , well that School they call gamus it is like they teach teach the children how to be stubborn, the children don't even see the value of their parents hardwork .They just become brats.He sighed, picked the remote turned the volume down, dropped the remote and walked upstairs straight to haneefahs room. Haneefah was in a long pencil gown outstretched and lively dancing tingasa by naira Marley and cblvck .As soon as general A.t Muhammad entered the room , haneefah froze in shock 'uhm daddy welcome sir' I thought you were coming tomorrow and
....'Shut up' general AT shouted at her from the door where he stood 'is this how you behave when I'm not around ?Is it by putting the home theater to the loudest volume that you will help yourself ? Haneefah what have I done to you to deserve all this,ehn_what have I done? Haneefah murmured something about trying to be a good girl and then went to her bed.General AT went back down, switch off the theater then went to his room.
Just as early as five o clock the sun was not yet peeping but a knock was heard on haneefahs door .It was definitely her dad she was already used to this once they were under the same roof her peace was never available .she slowly rolled off the bed and went to open the door'Good morning sir' she drowsily spoke 'morning 'he answered 'well I came to wake you up for subhi,after that bring your results and meet me downstairs'he turned and Left . there could be no subdued matter by this time once she was at home her happiness.was always short lived because
t

his man will never let

her do what she wants.she prayed subhi then went downstairs to meet her dad.she

met him down stairs by the couch facing the television his
head was down but as her footsteps drew closer he rose his head stretched his legs to
her that he had been patiently waiting for her. She gently passed the brown envelope containing her results and news letter and then sat down on the rug in front of his couch.just as she gave it to him he gently opened the sealed envelope and brought out the results. He was silent for some minutes as if he was thinking of a very important message.then he finally spoke.Haneefa meet Ibrahim outside tell him to check the car I came in yesterday for my glasses.i stood up and went to deliver his message.i made mental notes as I saw the Ibrahim approaching like can't this guy buy a cream that could make him lighter. I felt he wasn't dark he was black.like dark guys are not handsome. The fair one's always make a do, well after today l have only nine days to go back to gamus . But for now that's his business.I told him the message and few minutes later he brought the glasses and I took it for my dad.'haneefah! then general AT called me seriously so this is what you bring for me why can't you just have a good results ehn dull thing?"
'i am not dull!. haneefah replied lnsolently and hissed .
