Shade Of Pink

❄️Throb❄️

As I sat on the bench across the street waiting for the said driver to pick me up, my car broke down just few feet away from where I was, I couldn't help but let my mind wonder to a particular someone.

Someone I could trade the world for, her smile was just something out of the world and beyond, zarah was everything a man could need and even more.

Lost in my train of thought the distant sound of the Mallam shitu's voice pulled me out of my rivalry, my gaze settled on him and I was on my feet as we exchange pleasantries.

He lead the way out of the park to the packing lot where I sat across him on the passenger sit as we chatted about life and everything.

"Sir I have to pick up some things at hajiyas in-laws" shitu explained as he took the way that won't lead to our home, knowing who he was referring to i engrossed myself with my phone flipping across Instagram post as my gaze fell on a particular post about Zhara's sister's marriage.

Deciding to drop and exchange pleasantries with my in-laws hoping I won't run into someone and it was as if luck was on my side that day because even as I was offered food which I couldn't decline because mehn I can't just say no to the woman's food she was a chef and also the best around Kano even till date.

Laylah sure took after her mothers hand which I doubt the later did, Rahil she was nothing but a spoilt brat, not to talk about how perfect she was at letting others clean up her mess.

Pushing the thought to the back of my mind I enjoyed the tasty Nigeria party jollof rice with coslow, shitu was already thanking her as he collected the said package.

"Make sure you send my regards to hajiya ansar"

She spoke softly as she walked us to the door, "Insha Allah zataji"

And soon we where in car taking the road back home, giving my key to shitu to help bring my car back after he called the mechanic I watched to my room to freshen up.

And as soon as I step my feet into the room my phone was already ringing knowing who it was a smile lead it way to my face,
"Hope you got back home safely"

Her voice was so soft, will be able to lullaby any one to sleep,

"Yes my angel, how are you hope you are taking good care of yourself"
I asked into the phone, because I was missing my baby and she was miles away from me in katsina while I am here in Kano, I was thinking of paying a surprise visit with suraj my friend but we are yet to pick a day which will likely be on Friday.

Rahil's pov

With my voice yelled at the highest pitch I knew I was done for because this was the fourth time hajiya was calling me and I hadn't answered anyone, because I was racking sleep if anything I was hoping and praying for the holiday to come to an end which was taking long and I still have a month or so in Kano.

"Wallahi you should be here this minute or you won't like the outcome"

Knowing her for never giving empty threats I made sure I wore the biggest frown I could feature and match out of the room.

"Do you have a problem staying in this house Rahil?"

My mothers question went from a question to a statement and she was yelling at the end of each word she uttered panting at the very end of her words glaring at me from bottom to top but I cared no less.

"You better behave yourself, and be well kept"

And from here I knew where her dialogue was taking and I had to do something to stop her,
"Am suffering from this bad headache and no one is understanding you keep yelling at me"

I said in a whining tune second away from breaking down which I knew was going to work on her, my antics always works after all and in seconds her expression changed from stern to concern, "SubhanAllah should you go to the hospital"

I was already sited next to her with her palms all over my neck to feel my temperature which was undoubtably high, of course I had to suffer from fever after the mind battles I was having with my memories.

Blinking my tears away I noded my head negatively afraid if I uttered any word then I'll be a crying mess on my mothers lap but I think I needed that much comfort but I letting myself have it.

"Rahil sorry but you have to dress up then eat your food, I know you skipped breakfast or should Indo bring up the food"

I noded my head greetfully at my mother because she was always the best soft and caring, "just be fine please before 5 I want you to escort me out"

My mother said and I couldn't help but stump my foot at her, with this mood I won't want escorting her no where knowing maybe she's going on one business meeting it was always like that with her even before Laylah got married now I was her only escape knowing I was in for it.

Don't worry guys the drama will soon start
