BROKEN HEART

CHAPTER 8

BINTA
Life goes on
I just hope it won't be too late for when she finally comes back to her senses
I wonder how her mama is coping
Na She I pity pass if not Aisha's own no too disturb me again like before
After all it's her life

Mummy who is listening to me finally let out a deep breath and said
I think you should find time and go visit her,she will be very lonely now that Aisha is not around.

I will in Sha Allah
If not because of the clothes I am sewing sef I wanted going to her place today after we finish cooking

But I don't think I can make it because I promised the owner of those clothes that they will be ready by tomorrow.

It's okay you can still make it this week now,after you finish with the clothes.
And before I forget your dad called
He said he has been trying your number but couldn't reach you
So try and call him later.
Mummy added

I looked at her and said mummy!
Why won't you and daddy come back together?
I am tired of this whole issue
Although I don't know what lead to your divorce but it seems daddy is sorry and he wants you back
Why won't you reconsider please
Are you happy the way your children are been shared

I don't get to see my brothers till after three to four months

Please mummy,I said trying to control the tears in my eyes

I was expecting her to just leave the way she use to anytime I bring up the topic but she just smiled and say
Binta you won't understand no matter how much I try to explain to you

Let's just let the matter be
And about your job  are you sure you don't want to consider it?

Atleast with the salary you will be getting and the little you get from sewing that's will go a long way for you,or how do you want it?

Yes mummy
I have thought about that too I will just go back, thank you mah

I can't wait to have the taste of this food in my mouth ooo,this kind aroma wey dey commot Soo
I said with a laugh

Abih foodie
You will have to wait a little bit
You can try getting something from the fridge if you are that hungry
Mummy said pointing to the fridge in front of me

No I will wait for the food
I don't want anything to occupy the space in my stomach except this your food
You want to do me wayo so that I will not be able to eat plenty abih
Toh it would not work on me this time
I will wait.

See this one
Mummy said trying to control her laugh
Thank God I am not the one crying of hunger.

I just laughed and continue making the orange juice I planned on taking to mama when my phone started vibrating
I smiled and picked the call trying to leave the kitchen

Assalamualaikum
Aliyu
Good afternoon
Alhamdullilah I am fine
And you?
Aliyu on the other side replied and we continued talking for long
I didn't even know we spent that much time talking till when I cut the call I realized we spent almost two hours on phone
What where we even talking about I asked myself

I just smiled and went to the dinning area

ALIYU
I am still angry at the fact that Mubarak told me he has feelings for Binta
Why the hell will he have feelings for her?
But why I am even worried about that I asked myself
It's not that I like this Binta of a girl I am just grateful for the help I have been getting from her since the incident with Aisha

Abeg forget about him,he is not even serious I said to myself

Atleast I am feeling a little better than before

I won't say I have stopped thinking about Aisha but it's not as bad as before.

I and now I have a job I am managing
Although it's very stressful but I still better than when I don't have anything doing.

It was Saturday and I am at home
I decided to give Binta a call,
I haven't heard from her since last week and I kind of miss her

I don't know what Binta's voice has done to me but anytime I hear her voice I feel calm and peaceful.

I smiled remembering the conversation we had last week about relationships

She is a very intelligent person
    
    Hi Binta
    How have you being
    Sorry I have been busy that why you didn't hear from me all this while.

««Assalamuallaikum
    I am fine
It's okay,I understand
    How are you?

I am fine my dear oo
This teaching job is not easy at all,I am just trying to cope

««you just have to keep on managing for the main time
In Sha Allah, better offer will come»»

I pray so oo, thank you ojere.

BINTA
ALLAH sarki Aliyu
I still pity the guy,but thank God he has moved on , atleast that better

I have a wedding to attend next week
I was busy trying  to sew the asoebi
When my phone vibrates

It was an international number

I was surprised when I heard voice of the caller
Aisha!!
I said to myself

Assalamualaikum
I said after putting on my ear pod

  ”how far nah my friend?
    How are you?
    How is Nigeria?

I was speechless for some minutes before I finally bring myself to talk

I am fine Aisha and you?
How is work
Mama told me you got a job in America congratulations

   "Abeg don't congratulate me,bad           belle pikin,I know you are jealous of my achievement that's why you didn't even call me all this while
  Sha that's your problem
I just called to say hi byee

She didn't even wait for my response before ending the call

I just hissed and throw away the phone on my bed and continued my work.
