Author's POV
Somewhere in another country.......

A young lady who looks about the age of 18 was seated on a chair tapping her feet on the floor rapidly as she chewed her lips nervously waiting for her ummi to return, she glanced up at the clock for the 30th time and it still read 10:42pm

She sighed out of frustration and stood up from where she was sitting, she started pacing to and fro as she bit her fingers, she was practically peeling off the skin of her fingers because she has already eaten up all her nails, she glanced up at the wall again and it read 10:43

"What da fuck!! Why is time moving so freaking slow!" The girl shouted as she flung her arms up in annoyance, her brown eyes were squinted in annoyance which made her long eye lashes to brush her cheeks lightly, she flared her long thin nose in annoyance as she sat back down on the chair with a huff escaping her pink lips

Finally! Her eyes perked up at the sound of the door opening, she sprinted to where the lady was and engulfed her in a bone crushing hug

"Ummiiiii!!!! I missed you so much" The said after breaking the hug

"I missed you too mexy" Ummi replied as she patted the girl's head, who was famously nicknamed by her friends 'Mexy'

''Come come have a sit" Mexy said dragging ummi to the couch, the woman laughed before saying

"I guess people do change, this is also my house for your information you don't need to tell me the sit" Mexy pouted at what her ummi said as she collected the bag from the woman's hand

"Okay oo, if you say so, then I should just sit down here and not bring you water right" Mexy teased as she sat next to ummi

"Haba Ummi's baby, it's me fa?? Your one and only" Ummi said trying to sweet talk the girl beside her

"Yeah yeah, stay here let me go and get you some refreshments" Mexy smiled as she headed to the kitchen

Ummi sighed sadly as she thought about how to break the bad news to her beloved, she'd probably spend days being depressed before she returns to her cheerful state.Ummi silently cursed the man that is going to make her break mexy's heart for the millionth time probably

"What are you thinking about ummi?" Mexy asked as she kept a tray which contains a plate samosa and a cup of kunun zaqii

"Nothing serious, just work" Ummi said dismissing the talk as she grabbed the cup that was filled with the kunun zaqii and majestically sipped it

"So ummi, did he agree" Mexy finally asked the question that had been bugging her, she wanted to ask that question the moment ummi stepped in to living room but refrained from doing so,so as not to appear inconsiderate

Mexy silently prayed within her and crossed her index finger and ring finger, fervently praying to Lord that the man said yes

Ummi sighed sadly as she muttered "This never gets old" but none the less answered the girls question

"I'm sorry I tried convincing him but he didn't agree" Ummi said as she took ahold of the girls trembling hand and soon enough her sobs filled the room

"Why why? Why does he love th--"

"Shhhh he also loves you kinji? Don't worry even if he doesn't come that day I will make sure he comes this month" Ummi consoled patting mexy's back

"It's going to be my 18th bir--thday-- I'm going to--becom-e an adult yet he doesn't even bother to show up" The girl wailed as she clutched her hands on her ummi's every expensive abaya

"Shhh forget about him, let's start planning to the party kinji?? It's in 3 days so we have a lot of things to do" Ummi spoke when she heard the girls sobs turn into soft whimpers

Ummi look down and stared at the girl that was on her chest and she saw that she was already fast asleep, she sighed and adjusted the girl on the couch before she made her way to the balcony

She needs to make a very important call...

Kaduna,Nigeria
12:04am

"Oh my god Amal and ihsan! You guys were literally on fire!!!" Ihsan laughed along with the girls as they recalled what they did to Abba

"I know right!! Girlllllll we need to join you and start going to the gym" Hanan replied as she shook her head

They were all seated on the floor in a circular formation with popcorn and soda in the middle

"I can still recall the look on his face" Sadiya chuckled leaning her head on Amal's shoulder

"Yeah....We are still going shopping oo" Ihsan declared with a big smile on her face, one wouldn't believe she was the one that found out that her boyfriend/crush was cheating on her with multiple girls!

"Of course we are!! We aren't going to let this perfect opportunity just slide by" Amal said and the girls nodded excitedly

"Hanan I'm sorry I disobeyed mama, I know she said we should apo-"

"Ihsan it's okay" Hanan cut her off, earlier before they reached Ihsan's house  hanan said she forget her charger so they made a U-turn and returned

Flashback......

Hanan’s mother glanced sternly at the four girls gathered before her who were trying to sneak back in

“You're all going to have to tell me why you thought it was okay to egg Abba’s car” she said, her tone making it clear this was not a question but an order

Amal, her voice shaking, among all her friends moms she feared mama above all because she is no nonsense woman when someone does something wrong,after gathering her courage she replied, “It was just a prank mama,We didn’t mean any harm. We thought we were just having a little fun”

Hanan’s mother frowned and shook her head, she silently thought 'Children of now a days'

“You thought wrong. This isn’t a game. You could have seriously damaged the car, or even gotten yourselves hurt” She looked each of the girls in the eye while they all ducked there heads in shame

Ihsan, looking at the others with remorse, decided to speak up “I’m so sorry, Mama, It’s my fault. I dragged the girls into this. I should’ve thought it through, but I didn’t.”

Just then, the door swung open and Abba, Hanan’s cousin, strode in, his expression livid.He stopped in his tracks when he saw the group of girls, his eyes widened with shock and indignation

Mama, noticing Abba's arrival, straightened her shoulders and gave the girls one last stern look

“I expect you to apologize to Abba for what you’ve done. I’ll be waiting outside" With that, she stepped out, leaving the girls alone with their wronged cousin, the moment mama was gone there faces turned into that of a predator not a prey

Abba's eyes scanned each of them with contempt. “What’s there to apologize for? You ruined my car. My parents are furious with me. And all for what?"

Ihsan scoffed and stood up, she walked slowly yet majestically to where he was standing, he gulped down a handful of saliva because of his throat has run dry due to the look she was given

Ihsan stood 2 inches away from him, even though he was towering over her like a tower, even though she had to look up so that she can meet his gaze, even though he had bulky arms and legs she didn't hesitate even once nor did she bat an eye lash

The girls that were standing behind her looked at each other sharing knowing gazes, as they communicated silently the word that rang in their heads were 'Ihsan bata da mutuncin' 'rashin mutuncin ta ya taso' 'shege zai gane kuran sa' 'i never want to face her wrath' 'Guys fa wallahi za ta iya wanka Masa mari fa kunsan halinta idan ta shako'

"All for what you say?" Ihsan asked her voice dangerously low that it made the man almost want to run away, it was like the devil was standing right in front of him

"Ihsan baby-" his word were cut off with a hot slap that he staggered backwards, he looked at her with shock evident in his eyes

"Don't you ever utter my name ever again!!" She yelled as her nose flared up in anger,she tightly clenched her fists in anger

"Bab-" he started but the look she sent him made him swallow his words

"Am the who is supposed to be angry! You are the one who is supposed to apologize to me! You egged my freaking Lamborghini!!!" He yelled angrily

"You want me to apologize? Ka biyo ni gidan uba na (follow me to my father's house)" ihsan said disgustingly while Abba looked at her with a stunned expression, 'what is going?' he asked himself the fifth time

Seeing the stunned look his face she took that opportunity and splashed the cold water that the maid bought for them and mind you, there were ice cubes in them

"You should ask one of your many girlfriends to wash the car for you, in ka Isa ka biyo ni gidan ubana koh kuma ka dane ne ka ce na biya kudin wanke tah (i dare you to follow me to my father's house or sit on me and say I should pay)"  Ihsan spat angrily and walked out with the girls hot on her trails,but not without Amal and Hanan glaring at him while Sadiya did the honors of pouring the all the contents of the container which was labeled 'maman faruk special yaji' (grounded pepper)

Abba screamed in agony and pain as his eyes stung,throbbed,burned,you name it! He felt like plucking them out! Sadiya chuckled softly and then left man to fend for himself

Sadiya entered the car and when they asked her what took her long she simply said 'i forgot my phone'

End of Flashback

Sadiya cleared her which gained their attentions

"Now that Abba is out of the picture, call Jamal and ask him to be your val! It's in two days time" Sadiya suggested while Amal and Hanan agreed

"Umm I'm not so sure I still want to go and what if he already has a date?" Ihsan asked truthfully picking on her nails while the girls rolled there eyes

"Oh my gosh ihsan, you are literally the top student but how can you be so stupid" Amal said face plam-ing herself

Ihsan glared at her but still ignored her rude comment

"That guy loves you!" Sadiya shouted a bit

"He will literally accept your proposal in a heartbeat" Hanan added while ihsan looked at them like they have grown 10 heads each

Ihsan laughed before replying to what her crazy friends are saying "Guys yes he loves me! Because I'm his best friend! We have been besties since kindergarten" Ihsan explained slowly so that it will sink into their systems but alas it didn't because Amal opened her mouth again

"Oh lord have mercy, I can't believe you are this daft" Amal shook her in disappointment while Ihsan squirmed a bit

"Okay there is no point of us telling her this, let her believe what ever she wants to believe, kunin ta na kaqashi ne (her ears are made of bones, something like that daii😹😹)" Hanan said bringing end to the topic

"Will you call him din??" Sadiya asked gulping down her 2nd can of soda

"Yeah" Ihsan replied as she bought out her phone from her PJ pants and dialed his number

"What if he is asleep" Hanan asked making the girls laugh at her stupid question

"It's 12:15 and you expect Jamal to be asleep?" Ihsan asked in a mocking tone as the girls laugh

"Hope I'm safe" Jamal's voice boomed through Ihsan's speakers which made them sober up while Amal looks at Hanan and mouths 'You see'

"Why won't you be safe" Ihsan smiled as she rolled her beautiful eyes

"I heard 4 witches laughing in the middle of the night'' Jamal replied making the girls laugh again

"We are not witches" Sadiya said in a serious tone as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose a little bit

"Ah ahn chemistry guru! Is that your voice I'm hearing?? Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" Jamal teased while the said girl huffed in annoyance

"Ihsan tell him what you wanted to if not..." Sadiya warned glaring at the phone

"Jamal...Umm.." Ihsan started but she couldn't bring herself to say it, her pride was too big

She looked at the girls and mouthed 'i can't ask him'

Amal mouthed 'why' Hanan rolled eyes and mouthed 'Because her pride won't allow her''

"Is everything alright?" Jamal asked his husky voice filled with worry

"Um..No.." Ihsan answered and mouthed to the girls 'Help me'

Sadiya rolled her eyes then spoke "Do you want to be Ihsan's date to val?"

The line went legit dead for some seconds while the girls held their breaths

"Of course I'd love to be her date, Oh Ihsan-"

"Thank you Goodnight" Ihsan said and quickly ended the call because she was sure he was going to tease her

"Okay since all of us are going then we should shop for a dress" Amal always being the fashionista suggested and the girls nodded their heads
