Aysha's POV🍁

School is hard but not as hard as life without your degree...I just have to keep telling myself that. And as for Architecture, is the learned game correct and magnificent of forms assembled in the light.

I am currently in the study room at home doing my statistics assignment. I just can't seem to get it really. And with the distraction out there, not so helping!

Today being Saturday, My sister and brother are here with their kids, the house is so noisy. My brother ya Imran arrived yesterday from Lagos with his two adorable four years old twins, Nina and sira.

And my sister ya ruqayya came too with her three kids, the oldest is Afreen who is six, lujain who is three and marwan who is twelve months old.

I sighed and ran my hand down my face and groaned. Ya Allah..

I packed the books and kept them on one side before leaving the study

I walked lazily dragging my feet to the living room and slumped down on the couch next to mama. Shukriya and ya Ruqayya are sitting on the opposite couch.

"Aysha, are you done with the assignment?" Mama asked

I shook my head "no mama, I'll continue later inshallah. I can't think straight with all this noise"

"Hmm Gaskiya fah, you should leave it till later" mama said smiling.

Just then Hamida, who is ya imran's wife and also our cousin came in. she was out with batoul to H-medix.

"Ya Batoul did you get me the gum?" Shukriya asked. Shukriya calls Batoul 'ya' only when she wants something. Oh sweet typical shuks.

"Sorry shuks, Wallahi I forgot" said Batoul. Shukriya just nodded and smiled. You see that's why I like her, she didn't even make a fuss about it. If it were Batoul or jawad or Nasma, we would never hear the end of it.

Ya ruqayya and hamida left the living room, they mentioned something about needing to talk about something.

"Nasmaa!!" Mama shouted, calling her baby

She probably didn't hear her since she's busy with her phone.

"Mama she won't hear you fah" chirped Batoul

The girl came running towards the stairs.

"Nasma Mama is calling you" I said

"Okay. I'm coming, I want to drink water"

She drank her water and came "Mama I'm here, what will you give me?" She asked smiling cheekily

Mama pinched her cheek "go and get your drugs, it's time to take them"

With that she ran out of the living room and went upstairs to get her drugs. She's currently suffering from cough and fever. But she still has the energy to run up and down.

It's almost maghreb, ya Ruqayya has left already. Hamida is getting ready to go too.

"Sira!! Put on your shoes right now" she said to her daughter.

"Yesssh shira, put on your shoes" Nina imitated her mom

I was just looking at the trio, they're always fun to watch. Hamida is a young mother, she's ya hafiz's mate..25.

"Mommy kina ga Nina" she said in what's supposed to be hausa, in her very funny accent.

"Don't mind her, now let's go and say goodnight to grandma and Aunties" Hamida said taking both their little hands and dragged them to the living room.

She bid mama and us adieu. I bent and pecked them both on the cheek "soon you soon okay?"

"Okie dokie! Bye Aunty goggo " they said and waved when I walked them to the door.

I closed the door and made my way upstairs to my room. As soon as I entered, I went straight to the bathroom to perform ablution.

I came out, put on my long navy blue hijab and prayed.

After praying, I lay down on my bed and picked my phone to check on my social media. I saw a lot of messages on WhatsApp and Snapchat. I replied the ones I can and left the rest.

I was going through my Instagram feeds when I heard a knock on the door. I answered and told the person to come in.

"gwoggs, dinner time" Shukriya said and left.

I lazily dragged my lazy ass and got off the bed. I put on my turban and picked my phone then went down to the dining room.

I saw everyone already seated. I took my usual seat beside jawad.

"Baba Ina wuni?" I greeted

"Lafiya. How are you?"

"I'm fine Alhamdulillah"

"Toh mashallah"

We dined into our mouthwatering meal. It was shepherds pie, chicken nuggets and cranberry juice.

There was a little conversation here and there while eating.

"How I wish ya hafiz is here" Batoul started

"I know right, I miss him so much" said jawad

"Mama when is he coming?" Nasma asked

Mama looked up from her phone "next month inshallah"

"Allah ya kaimu" I said almost inaudibly.

They all muttered 'Ameen'

Baba cleared his throat "Goggo Na when are you finishing your exams?"

I looked up "next week baba"

"Okay, Allah ya kaimu. You'll be coming along when we are escorting Shukriya back to school in two weeks inshallah"

Shuks's eyes lit up and I smiled

"Okay baba, Allah ya kaimu"

We finished our dinner and everyone go back to his or her business.

I am in mama's living room with nasma, she is watching tv while I am chatting on my phone. I am talking with my best friend, Azeera.

Azeera- like Indo, she was throwing herself all over him.

I shook my head, smiled and typed

Me- you've said that for the 100000th time zeer..like why does it even bother you? I thought you are completely over him?

Azeera- I am but..I'm just wondering what he'll do with her. I feel insulted really, ya za ayi ma muyi breaking up and not even up to a month you start dating again?! Wtf! You never loved me Kenan!

Me- calm down girl. Please enough of this guys talk...now what do you have for me?

Azeera- Wallahi Nothing! I'm so tired, I went out today.

Me- where did you go to?

Azeera and I talked for a little while before I tossed my phone on the couch next to me and focused on the tv. Nasma is watching little rascals.

We were watching the movie just fine when I heard the doorbell ring. I wrapped my veil around me and went to open it.

"Sannu da zuwa, Ina wuni" i greeted the older man who is probably a friend of Babas. He replied my greetings with a smile.

I ushered him in and took him to baba's living room.

I went to the kitchen and set a tray full of refreshments and took it to him.

"Jazakallahu khayran" He said and I nodded with a smile leaving the place.

I entered the living room where I was sitting and picked my phone, then left to my room to finish my Assignment.

I entered my room and sat on the chair by the window side. I sighed and started the assignment.

Thankfully, it's a little bit quite now. So I can finally think straight and finish up in time.

Alhamdulillah! I'm done with the assignment. I'm so tired all I want to do is pray and sleep.

I walked to the bathroom and had my daily night shower, performed ablution and came out.

I got dressed in my pajamas and put on my long hijab and prayed isha.

I recited my duas after praying and got up. I went out to say goodnight to mama and baba.

I gently knocked on the door and they ushered me in. I entered with a salam.

"Mama and baba, goodnight" I said

Mama smiled "Goodnight Ayshatu, Allah ya tashe mu lafiya"

Baba said goodnight to me too "May Allah bless you"

I muttered an 'ameen' and left to my room. It's already past eleven.

I reached my room, switched off the lights and climbed my bed. After reciting my dua, I slept.
