Around 4pm we went back home
Which was kind of early because normally he leaves around 5pm
But I think he saw the look on my face and he pitied me
All I wanted to do was go back home, which is funny because I was the one wanting to come with him
But come on, I was bored as hell after Al'amin, Mary and Khadija left
I had to sit down with him and watch him do paper work
What kind of torture is that?
The ride back home was quiet
Only the soft music coming from the radio and the occasional horns Umar did or the ones that were thrown at us
We went back home and I prayed before I went with Aliya to her room after she asked me to help her do her homework
We just finished doing the English homework and I was helping her put the book back into the bag when Hauwa walked into the room looking tired and her bag slung over her shoulder
"Sai yanzu?" I asked as I looked at the pink princess clock in Aliya's room
"Oyo yo" Anisa told her
She weakly waved at her
She sighed as she dropped on a chair close to the door "Wallahi, there was a tournament da akayi so I stopped to watch it"
"Oh ok, Toh ya school?" I asked
"Tab! Yau na sha Safa da Marwa, kinga zagayen danasha? I don't think I'll be able to go on Monday, dama I hate this Saturday lectures" she said (did you see the amount of roaming around I did?)
I laughed at her
"Kinga, let me go and shower and pray before i end up sleeping here" she said before she stood up and left
"I'm hungry" Aliya said
"Ok then, let's go eat dinner"
She held my hand and I dragged her out of the bed
We went down the stairs and we went to the dining room to see most of the Family members there
Umar, his dad, Halima's mum, Aunty Yusrah, Yazid, Halima, Nona, Maman Fa'iza, Fa'iza and two other boys
I greeted everyone on the table before I sat down next to Yazid and Aliya sat down next to me
He turned to me and he grinned showing me his two missing tooth in the middle
I smiled back at him and I pinched his cheeks
I served Aliya and I served myself before I started eating
Maman Halima ushered one of the maids forward "call Hauwa down for dinner"
The maid nodded before she left the room
After some minutes the maid came back down with an annoyed Hauwa behind her
I knew Hauwa didn't want to come down and have dinner with everyone else at all
All she wanted to do was sleep
She looked like she was about to start stomping her feet any moment from now
I tried so much to hold my laugh
She greeted everyone before she sat down on an Available seat close to one of the boys, this one was wearing a red shirt
She grumpily told him to pass her the bowl of salad and he glared at her a little before he passed it
This Family has an issue with glaring
"So Hameeda" Nona called my attention with a grin
I looked at her and I dropped the glass of water I was drinking
Why is she looking at me like that..?
"When am I getting a great grandchild?" She asked
I chocked on the water that was going down my throat
I started coughing and Aunty Yusra rushed to my side and she kept patting my back
"Nona! You're going to scare her away" Maman Fa'iza said trying to hide a smile
"What? I was just asking" Nona said to her defense
Aliya passed me a glass of water and I chucked it down
When I calmed down I thanked Aunty Yusra and she went back to her seat
I looked up to see Hauwa, it looked like she was going to die of laughter
She was silently shaking of laughter and so was Fa'iza and Halima
Hauwa looked at me trying to contain her laughter and she mouthed 'welcome to the family'
Oh My God
I honestly wished the ground could swallow me up and this moment
My face was heated up that I could feel it
I didn't even want to look at Umar right now to see his reaction
It seemed like everyone found this funny except for me
I stylishly peeped to look at Umar to see him eating his food as if he hadn't heard what his grandmother had said
Oh well, he doesn't change expressions so that wasn't surprising
Well...that was embarrassing
Everyone continued their normal conversation while a slowly ate my food trying not to look into anyone's eyes
Dinner was over and I sat down waiting for Hauwa to finish so we could go out together
She noticed me waiting for her so she smirked and she stood up
She dragged my hand and we walked up to her room
We entered her room and immediately we did she burst out laughing
"Oh my God, i even composed my laughter because daddy was there, if not I should have kept rolling on the floor" she said as she continued laughing
I pouted and I pushed past her and I laid on her bed
"Did you see your face? Your eyes widened before you suddenly started coughing, it was so funny"
"Is it funny I'm not finding it funny" I asked
She rolled her eyes "you're such a kill joy"
"Who were those other two guys?" I asked trying to change the topic
"Oh, the one sitting next to me wearing the red shirt is Fahad, he's 16 and he's Maman Fa'iza's son, and the one with the kaftan is Isma'il, he's 18 and he is also our cousin, his parents are abroad but he schools and lives here" she said
"Ohh"
"And also, if you thought you could divert my attention from you then it didn't work" she said with a cheeky grin
I playfully glared at her
"Inyeh, harda glaring? Carefully learning from Ya Umar I see" she said laughing at me with her hands placed on her hips
I laughed with her as I threw the nearest pillow close time at her
