4 years after

"Miskiyyah" Naheemah, my course mate/ best friend, called.
"Na'am" I answered turning to her. She took my hand and start dragging me to only God knows where.
"Naheemah" I called but she didn't stop. We pass through hundreds of student before we finally reach the the school notice board. At first, I thought our result is out or our posting but my thoughts are wrong.
Everything had changed for the past four years. After Eshaal's death, i ended up having second class upper in my exams. After several advice from my family and more extra classes from M.M, I move up to first class lower before moving back to first class upper. Also Nanny Zay health had been deteriorating making everyone sad. She had become regular person in the hospital that almost every doctor in the hospital knows her.
"Miskiyyah" Naheemah called snapping her fingers in front of me.
"Why are you crying" She asked and immediately i put my hand on my face to see it wet.
"Why are we here?" I asked changing the topic.
"Look" She said pointing to the notice board.
"What's there to look at?"
"Are you kidding me? It's a post-Ramadan lecture which will be held next week Saturday"
"So?" I asked again and she flare up getting annoyed.
"Can't you just read it. The guest Lecturer is my one and only Dr. Muhammad Mustapha Ibrahim" Naheemah said. Naheemah is M.M foster younger sister and she just move in with him, so i met her through him. She did direct entry exam into 200 level four years ago that's why we are in the same level. And since then, we've become close friends.

I turn to the notice board and decided to read on my own. The lecture was organized by the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN). Though we do have pre- Ramadan lectures and also Ramadan lectures but it's the first time we will be having a post-Ramadan lecture. I felt Naheemah's gaze on me and i turn to see her staring at me.
"What's on my face?" I asked touching my face.
"You're beautiful" She said and i just burst into laughter.
"And why are you telling me that?"
"Give him a ch......."
"NAHEEMAH" I yelled and she roll her eyes.
"Shout as you like it won't affect me. I see nothing wrong in that guy. Forget about him being handsome, he's religious and that why he's the Ameer of...."
"Shut it" I said as calm as i can and she heave a sigh.
"I don't care if he's the Ameer of MSSN LASU branch or if he's the Zonal Ameer of MSSN, I'm not interested in him. Ṣé dandan ní? (Is it by force?)" I asked turn back to the notice board.
"Islamic Views on The Heart. That's the topic" She said and I nod.
"Let's go I'm famished" She said taking my hand and just like she drag me here she drag me to the cafeteria. This girl is something else.

"Mum please" I pleaded but she only shook her head as a no again.
"Mummy I......"
"Okay I will try my best to come" She finally agreed and i hugged her almost suffocating her.
"Jazakillahu Khayran. I'll be expecting you." I said smiling and she nod. I pick up my back bag and phone texting Naheemah to tell her I'm on my way. She read the message but ignored it. We had this huge fight on Thursday and till now she had been ignoring me

Flashback
I pressed the door bell and the door open to reveal Mrs Ibrahim.
"As Salam Alaykum." I greeted hugging her and she replied before we both sit down.
"Sorry. I couldn't make it to Ibadan last week" I said and she smile.
"No need to apologize. I know i know school is becoming so hectic now." Ṣé said and i smile.

Yeah you guessed right. I still lecture at Mutmahinat daawah center up till now.

"So where's that sister-in-law of  yours." I asked and she chuckled.
"She's been sleeping since after fajr she's yet to even have breakfast talkless of lunch."
"Really?" I asked and she nod.
I stood up and walk upstairs to her room.
"Naheemah" I called tapping on her but got no response. An idea struck my mind and I grinned before grabbing the jug on the bedside table and empty it on her.
"Ya Allah Ya Salam" Naheemah yelled Jumping up from the bed and i smile
"Are you mad?" She yelled ate and i rolled my eyes.
"La Hawla wala kuwwata illah billahi" She mumbled and i smile sitting on her bed.
