Mine

Chapter 29

I prayed and Hauwa kept me company

My lafaya was off and so was my head tie

The door opened and Halima walked in holding my phone

She handed it to me "your friend said I should give it to you"

"Thank you" I said

Two of his other cousins came in again

They hugged me and I found out their names were Zakiya and Asiya

I was seated with them and they brought me food, I was done and we were talking when Aliya came in

She quickly rushed to me and I grinned when she hugged me

I hugged her back

"You look beautiful Ya Hameeda" she told me

"You look beautiful too Aliya" I told her

I placed her on my lap even though Hauwa kept telling her to get off me I didn't let her

She reminded me so much of Umar it wasn't even funny

What is wrong with me?

They kept on talking and Aliya had her back leaned on my chest and my arms wrapped around her and my chin on her head

Hauwa was in the middle of telling me that I and Umar's house would be ready in two weeks when the door opened and Umar walked in talking on the phone

It was so obvious non of us expected him to walk in at this moment because we all froze, well except for Aliya who was looking at my hands tracing my henna

"Ok, I'll call you back" he said before he hung up

He turned to look at us and all he had to do was blink and the girls quickly scrambled to their feet

Hauwa quickly hugged me before she dragged Aliya's hand and they all left the room

That's when I actually realized they left me alone

Oh hell no, they better come back here and take me with them!

They should have at least left me with Aliya!

I've honestly been never been this nervous before

Well this isn't the first time I've been alone with him but this is the first time I've been alone with him after what happened Day before yesterday

I turned to look at him to see him with his babban riga hanged on his arm and his cap still perched on his head

But he actually wasn't looking at me he was standing in the middle of the room scrolling through his phone

There was a knock on the door and I took that as an excuse to stand up

I went to the door and I opened it to see Hauwa with my luggages

She helped me push them inside

I thanked her and she left

I dragged the first two inside the walk in closet and I went back and dragged the other two too

I heard the sound of water in the bathroom so I knew Umar was inside
