I sat on the edge of my bed after waking up,took my phone from my bedside drawer which I left to charge before I slept.turning it on I saw 3 missed calls from salma.I wondered what was going on my phone was on silent so I couldn't hear it ring. I quickly turned my data on to see if she messaged me on whatsapp,my phone kept on vibrating with so many messages coming in.I scrolled down to salma and opened
" hey pick your damn phone I've called you twice already"
"Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!"
"please pick it's urgent what is wrong with your line?"
"it's Ahmad and I can't tell you over the phone"
"please call back when you see this"
So many messages I just hope she's alright I'll go there first thing in the morning inshaaAllah
The morning was quite slow I couldn't sleep after praying I kept on praying that everything was fine.finally the morning came I hurriedly took my bath,wore a small top and jeans put on my hijab.I went to tell my parents I was going out.I rushed over to salma's place only to find the house quite clear,no crowd like anything happened I got in,I saw salma's mom in the living room watching CNN,she looked quite alright to me.
"Ina kwana mommy"i squatted as I greeted her
"lafiya lau,faiza yau ke ce a gidan mu da sasafen nan"she asked me looking puzzled
*I laughed*,yes ma I came to meet salma cause I saw her texts and missed calls"
"Tohh tana ciki dai"
"ok ma thank you"i went straight to her room only to find her sleeping gracefully on the bed.I tapped her angrily to wake up
"babe,what are you doing here this early"she asked me yawning and rubbing her eyes
"are you Kidding me"i shouted as I flashed my phone in her face showing her all the texts she sent me
"Ohh this"she said and started laughing for almost a minute
"ok enough! start talking what's the "emergency"
"guess??
I gave her my do I look like am in the mood to guess face
"Ahmad ya kawo gaisuwa gidan mu jiya" she got off the bed telling me
"you betrayer,you're getting married before me"i pouted, we both said we'd get married the same day as friends but I guess destiny just laughed at our faces
" I know I also felt bad,honestly it was un expected too "
" I just hope,you're ready for marriage and not feeling pressured"i asked her
" not at all,God will be by my side inshaaAllah"
"but oh my God am so happy for you and excited" I squealed
"i know right"
"but wait that's the emergency,you made me rush down here without even having break fast"
"Awwwnn my bestie cares so much"she got off the bed and started poking me
Later on my called ne and asked salma prepared breakfast for me,we talked about the wedding and all how she wanted a simple wedding,not much crowd which is impossible cause her dad is a politician, we talked on how I'll be the "babban kawa".
*knock knock* salma's mom entered,we sat upright on the bed.
" salma am going out,make sure you close the door when I leave,toh faiza na san ina dawo kilan kin wuce ga wanan ku hau taxi da shi" she said handing me a 500 naira note
"no mommy don't mind I came with my car"i said pushing the money back to her
"ok take this and fuel your car"this time around she handed me a 1000 naira note
"Wallahi mommy ki barshi"
"Ok then,sai na dawo a gaida gida"
"Yauwa sai kin dawo ma" I waved her
Salma got up to escort her mom out and they talked for a few minutes before she came back.we watched Netflix's kissing booth for the third time we just couldn't get enough and stuffed our faces with chocolate.
" I should get going now I don't want my mom to be worried about me"i put my phone at my back pocket as I prepared to leave
" it's true,am surprised she hasn't called you yet"
"yh me too"
"call me when you get home " she said as she closed the car door
I got home and told my mom everything that salma was okay and she's just going to get married no need to worry,we were in the middle of our conversation excited when my dad entered and from the looks of it he looked really angry.
"what's the good news that both of you are so excited??abba asked as he settled on the sofa
"you know salma that faiza's friend?my mom asked him and I just sat there muted
"yeah what happened to her?
"An kai gaisuwa gidan su ne jiya,ta sa mu miji"
"And you're excited,isn't she your friend?he turned to me
All I could do was nod my head
"your friend has found someone,what about you?
I just sat on the floor dumbfounded as my dad kept on ranting about marriage issues and insulting me.I bit my inner cheek to prevent myself from crying,I bit it hard that I could even taste my own blood.I got up from the floor and walked to My room tears were clouding my eyes I couldn't see properly.I shut the door behind me and leaned against it and started crying my eyes out.i spent the whole day in my room with my romcom marathons on my laptop and a jar of nutella.
Who else is a fan of netflix 's romcom's??
