Her crush 6

Aslam's POV

I left the table immediately after break fast, I was planning on going back to my room to complete my work but decided against it. It’s being long since I strolled around so it's fun now to just walk around the street, I need to release all the stress inside me.

I finally got to think about my business and the fact that I have to join Abba in the company now, I looked around only to discover that I've walked far. Just when I am about to turn around and return home a car pulled up in behind me and the person driving came down, I continued to walk further the road when the person shouted my name, looking back recognizing the voice and then I saw her...... Khadijah my childhood friend and neighbor.

"Aslammmmm" She screamed running to catch up with me.

"When did you arrive, the last time I saw Haseenah she made no mention of you being back" She added excitedly, it’s been along time since we spoke. Early stage of my travel we do Skype together but as time went by we both got busier.

"Holla Dee, a question at a time mana" I said to her, knowing khadeejah with her cheerful and bubbling nature she wouldn't keep shut if I don't stop her.

She pouted slightly embarrassed,

"I just miss my Aslam that's all" She shyly mutters.

"So when did you arrive, and you aren't nice enough to let your bestie know" She said feigning hurt, she knows really well that I won’t tell her.

I mentally laughed at her dramatic display but decided to reply her question because she'll continue to pester me if I don't.

"Dee I actually came back yesterday and I've been busy since then, in between resting and working, you should understand" I offered.

"Toh, sannu da zuwa(welcome)” She said trying to leave but stopped and added.

"But you are not forgiven until you come visit mama today, she's being talking about how you don't come back home and you don’t call her". After that she got into her car and waved at me before driving away.

I didn't even give it a second thought, being the cold guy I was i continued walking back home. I actually fancy khadeejah since i've known her for as long as I can remember, she's really kind and intelligent very disciplined as a young lady. She has always had a crush on me but I don’t like her that way.

I arrived home and it was awfully quiet so I went in search for Mamii, I found her in her room going through some stuffs with her Macbook beside her, she's sooo engrossed so I sat down on the chair closest to the bed.

"Mamii sannu da hutawa" I said.

"Yauwa Aslam, How are you my baby, ya kewar US din" She said obviously trying to tease me.

"Haba, I'm a Nigerian at heart even though I've been away for a while" I said frowning, Mamii likes embarrassing me as big as I am.

"Ohk naji, where did you go to because I asked one of the maids to get you but she said you were out" She asked putting away her work and concentrated on me “I’ve missed you so much my son”.

"Yeah, I just took a stroll around the area you know and I ran into khadeejah and I also missed you so much my Mamii, I missed home and everyone” I said reminiscing about those times alone without family.

"Aslam since you left they've always asked of you especially Hajiya Rabi" Mamii said.

I also told her what khadeejah told me about her mum asking about me, she advised me to go see her when I'm less busy possibly today since I'm resuming work with Abba at the office officially tomorrow. I told her I'll do just that, after a few tete a tete with her I left for my room to get ready for later.

Who exactly is khadeejah?

Will she continue to appear in the story?
