Chapter 18: Chapter 18

***TWO MONTHS LATER ***

" Mama come and see! I made my waec result " I shouted as I entered into the compound. Our waec result was out and alot of people have checked theirs some made their papers while some didn't but I'm happy I made mine.

Mama came out of her room to see why I was shouting her name like a crazy woman.

" What is it?why are you shouting? " Mama asked.

" Mama I passed my papers. I passed with three credits and five B" I said while showing her. I was so happy .

" I'm so proud of you my darling daughter, you've made me proud " said mama while hugging me.

After we pulled away from our mother and daughter hug, mama promised to prepare my favorite. Wow! today is one of the happiest day of my life. Since I passed my jamb and now my waec, kasu ,here I come.

**Few hours later. **

Baba and my brother rejoiced with me and each one of them promised to gift me something. We all settled in baba's room because its spacious and can contain all of us. We were all having our family night bonding ,you get. We ate our yam and fried egg. After that ,ya Ahmad brought out the suya he bought when I called and told him about the good news. We also eat it to our satisfaction.

After every one left to his or her room, I decided to share the good news with Aisha and I pray she also made her papers.I went into my room to retrieve my phone so as to call Aisha.

" Babe how far" came Aisha's voice.

" I'm fine o, so have you checked your waec result" I asked

" You know, I'm so lazy to check but have you checked yours?" she asked.she is too lazy for her liking. I know if her parents didn't force her to go to school she wouldn't. She is never a lover of school.

" yes oo, I cleared everything " I said happily. Aisha was also happy for me she kept shouting congrats.

" Make sure you check it tomorrow or don't worry come to my house tomorrow so we can check it together in aunty bisi's shop" I said.

Since aunty bisi's shop is close to my house it will be easier if she come to my house.

" OK, see you tomorrow "

I ended the call

*****

" Don't worry you'll clear your papers" I said to a fidgeting Aisha.She came to my house around 10 am.We both were in aunty bisi's shop to check her results but it's still loading.

" YES! I cleared it, look Ameera" she said pointing at the computer. I'm so happy for her, she has three B and five credits.

" Congrats girl, we're gonna rock kasu this year" I squealed and high fived.

" yes oo" she replied.

We paid aunty bisi for her service and left to my house.

We salaamed as we made our way into the compound, mama answered and welcome us with a smile and the eagerness to know whether Aisha cleared her papers.

" Mama guess what!" Aisha said.

" Yeye children ,I knew you would cleared your paper and I'm so proud of you two" said mama pulling us for a hug.

" What is the occasion? what are we celebrating ?" came ya kabiru's voice.

We pulled away and mama explained why we were happy to him.

" Wow, congrats Aisha " he said with a brotherly smile and my dear friend Aisha was seriously blushing. Did I tell you Aisha has a crush on my brother when we were 14yrs and he was 18yrs then.My brother only sees her as a sister but I would have love it if they end up together so I can have cute nephews or nieces .

" Thanks ya kabiru " she said to him.

" So since I'm also a proud brother and I want to treat you girls out so therefore I would give you girls just 5 minutes to dress up and meet me outside" he announced and we squealed. We ran to my room to re touch our make up.

**Five minutes later**

We met ya kabiru outside with a tricycle man waiting for us. Ya kabiru saw us coming and said " I thought I will have to drag you girls out before you comeout" he said jokingly " What were you girl even doing?" he asked

"We were rubbing makeup, you know girls stuff" I answered . While Aisha was seriously blushing and that makes me wonder if her crush for my brother has rekindle . Yes, it's back.

" Girls and makeup " he grumbled .

We entered into the tricycle and I made sure Aisha sat in the middle . Since ya kabiru has broken up with his girlfriend ( hamidah) and this is the best opportunity to join them together.

Hamidah's parents married her off to one of her rich cousin.

We stopped at the gate of the park. There was a sign board with WONDER LAND written on it. It's a new park and I've been meaning to come see it but I don't have the money.

We all got out of the tricycle and ya kabiru paid the napep man. We walked inside the gate of the park and paid for the money, although it was ya kabiru that paid .

The place is filled up with people and there are so many exciting things to see. You might think that parks are for small kids but come and see what I'm seeing right now , the park is filled up with grown ups. In some angle you'll see couples and other part friends some part family and so on

We went straight to the ice-cream shop and ya kabiru asked what flavor we wanted.

" I want the banana and vanilla flavour" I said and Aisha also want same thing as I while ya kabiru love the chocolate flavour.

After that we went to all the fun part of the place which was so exciting.

" I hope you girls are enjoying yourself " asked ya kabiru.

" Yes we are and thanks again for bringing us here" said Aisha with a smile. They were both smiling at each other and anyone would think they were lovers. I cleared my voice and they broke their lovely stare.

" Since you love birds are done staring at each other we can now move " I teased and ya kabiru shot me a glare and my dear friend was as usual blushing.

I laughed as we made our way to other fun part.

" Just stop it aready" a beautiful lady said to a guy she was standing with. Maybe he is her husband, I thought.

From the scrowl on her face,you will know that the man said something to annoy her. The guy should be around ya Ahmad's age and the lady maybe around my age. They look cute together..

" OH baby you just wound me" the guy held his chest dramatically, he looked like a playboy but from the way he was looking at the lady you would know that he likes her.

" Wallahi khalifa you better stop" she threatened

What a funny couple, I thought.

" Why are you looking at those couple" Aisha pointed at them.

I laughed and said " They are so funny "

" Whatever, come let's join ya kabiru. He went to get some extra ice cream for us" she said with soft smile lingering on her lips.
