"Salma...please I want to tell you something but, don't freak out." I said.
"You're scaring me please. Just say it" She pleaded.
"It's about Jabbar..." Immediately I said his name she took a sharp intake of breath.
"What about him? " She asked. "He's....he's dating someone I know, you know." I held her hands in mine and she tried to release it but I held her hands tight
"W-what d-do you mean? Who is it?" Her eyes changed and her body shook. Tears filled her eyes as I said the name of the girl
"Mahnoor" I breathed out. "M-mahnoor? The one I know?" I nodded.
"But..h-how? Doesn't he see that I love him so much? Am I not beautiful enough? Am I too little or young?" Tears rolled down her cheeks but I quickly wiped them away.
"Noooo, my dear sister. You're the most pretty girl I know, believe me, you're not too small. It's just his choice and I'm sure he didn't know that you have feelings for him"
"Even if he knew what would have changed?? He loves my cousin and that's the fact. Infact you know what? Fine, we're not meant to be. I understand" She smiled painfully
"That's the spirit baby" I smiled at her and hugged her tightly
I heard her low sobs and I could do nothing but cry along with her. "It will all be fine Salma. You'll find someone who will love, cherish and respect you more than ever. Don't worry, it's a matter of time"
"I know Yaya. I wish Dada didn't take such a stern decision with you sis, I wish it was me instead of you so that I will stop seeing my dearest sister in pain. I wish I can do something to take all you worries away".
"You know what Salma? If im destined to marry this man then absolutely no one can stop it and if I'm not then no one can make it happen, not even Dada" She nodded
"You know what? Do you want some ice cream?" I asked.
"Uh, yeah. But...Yaya sulty took the last scoop before she left."
"Don't worry, we'll go out" I grinned. "What?! How? It's already 11pm fah" She exclaimed
"So? I'll take the blame if we get caught don't worry. Just follow me okay? Just get ready let's go" She nodded and I grabbed my phone and ordered for a Bolt driver.
I draped a closed Abaya over my nighties and covered my head properly with a veil then I applied some kohl and lipgloss.
"Ready?" I asked. "Yes" She replied and I grabbed my phone and purse.
We put pillows under our blankets and turned off the lights before we tiptoed out with out shoes in our hands.
After we successfully reached downstairs, I picked up the house key from under the big vase beside the console table and unlocked the door.
"Should we go with the key?" I asked. "It's too risky. "Let me unlock the back door so I'll return it before we leave'' We agreed and did just that.
We got through the gateman with just a thousand naira and he let us out without a noise and we zoomed off with the Bolt driver.
"Take us to the nearest Cold stone location please" I said after we exchanged pleasantries. "Okay ma".
Like fifteen minutes later we arrived and I paid him cause he didn't agree to wait for me so he left.
