Jadwa

I'm still trying to adapt to the new version of Sultan which is hard but I'm trying,

Mus'ain is leaving tomorrow so I promised to spend all of my free time with him,

"Bro can I borrow Jadwa for just 2 hours?" He asked Sultan who was busy on his phone,

I dropped the tea i made him and turned to leave then I heard him answer Mus'ain,

"Yeah whatever"

I felt kind of sad but immediately knew my place because yeah, he might be good to me now but i know that deep down he won't change who he is.

After lunch Mus'ain asked me to dress up lets go so i wore a gown and hijjab,

"You drive?" I asked when I saw that he sat on the drivers seat

"C'mon JD I'm not an over pampered child"

"Yes yes you're not, I taught from your name you might be" i joked and it took him seconds to get the joke

"Omg Jadwa" he said laughing and I started laughing loudly too

"But seriously what inspired the name?" I asked and he smiled and looked at me

"Well lets see" he started

"I was my mother's little angel" he said still smiling

"Was?" I asked

"Yeah JD, i lost her when i was 18" he said in a sad tone and I couldn't help but remember my own mother

"Cancer of the blood" he added and i felt my heart broken

"I'm sorry Musmus, she's in a better place i know" i condole him

"Yeah, she was sweet JD, she fought the cancer so much because of me but Allah made it easy for her,"

"May her soul continue to Rest In Peace" i said gently touching his hand

"Thank you JD" he said smiling,

He kept quiet for some time and the atmosphere was dull so I blurted "my mom died too"

Then he turned to look at me,

"I was 10" i added

"Omg Jadwa I'm so sorry"

I managed to keep a smiling face but really deep down i want to break down,

I think he noticed because he looked at me and said "its not good to bottle up your emotions JD, spill"

As if my eyes were waiting for him to say those words, instantly I started crying,

He parked the car by the side of the road and came to my side and sat close to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulder, I gently placed my head on the crook of his neck and sniffed

"I was so young, but I clearly remembered everything Mus'ain, she was poisoned, my mum was poisoned but I couldn't do anything about it" I confessed crying

"JD, Allah take his servants souls in many ways, if it wasn't her time to go she would have survived, but he loves her more than you do thats why he took her away" he said wiping my tears

"I know if she was still alive she won't like to see you crying will she?" He asked and i said "no" in a teary voice,

"Good girl, now stop those tears kinji, she needs your prayers more than those tears"

I wiped the tears and looked at Mus'ain and smiled

"Ice cream?" He asked and i nodded "ice cream"

So we went to an ice cream parlor, from there he visited one of his friend in his office and we headed home,

He dropped me off in front of sultan's gate and went his way,

I decided to stop and talk to Amla before i went inside since its just 5:30,

She notices everything because immediately she saw me her first question was

"Jadwa kinyi kuka"

"Mama Am banyi kuka ba something entered my eyes" i lied

She rolled her eyes and hugged me "I'm a good listener you know" so i nodded and hugged her back,

We talked for some time before I decided to go back inside

"Am its late I'll see you tomorrow koh?" I said getting up

"I miss your food" she said pouting which made me smile

"Okayy if you're still here I'll bring it for you kinji"

I slowly went in and dropped my hijjab before going up to ask Sultan what I should make for dinner,

"What took you so long?" He asked immediately I opened the door

"I was in the kitchen" I replied

"I didn't see you when i went in ten seconds ago"

"I was at the main kitchen downstairs" I managed to say

"Doing?" He asked sitting up to look at me

"My former roommate is sick so i went to check on her" i lied and he looked at me as if be didn't believe,

He nodded and continued checking his phone so I spoke up

"What should i cook for dinner?" I asked and he looked at me

"What would you recommend?"

"Huh!"

"What would you like to eat?" He asked

"Nothing your highness"

"Okay we're not gonna eat then?" He asked with a smile and I chuckled because of the way he said it,

"I'll eat anything you cook" he blurted and I smiled and nodded before leaving

I prayed and went to the kitchen, its been long that I cooked something different so I started searching for what to cook,

After minutes of contemplating I finally made up my mind to make jollof rice and grilled fish,

I grilled 4 mentally reminding myself to take 1 for Amla and keep 1 Incase Mus'ain comes,

"The food is ready your highness" i called when i saw him in the parlor watching

"Wow" he exclaimed when he saw the fish, immediately he sat down and started eating till he finished everything,

I couldn't find a way to take the fish to Amla because he didn't leave the dining after eating so i kept it in the fridge for her promising myself to warm it and take it to her tomorrow,

"Good night your highness" i told him after reading the 5 pages he asked me to

"You're sleepy?" He asked and i said "no" because I wasn't,

Then he got up and I followed behind him

"Let's watch" he said as he sat down on the couch and i nodded and was about to sit on the carpet but he looked at me with a frown so immediately i got up and sat on the couch,

"What do you want to watch?" He asked looking at me but i had no idea what i wanted so i said "anything your highness"

"Anything?" He asked as if he was trying to confirm something so i nodded

Then he played a movie that Was scary because after watching it I didn't want to be alone,

"Good night Jadwa" he said after the movie and got up to leave

"What about your story?" I asked and he chuckled and looked at me with a straight face after,

"Till tomorrow" he said and left me there

"Meanie" I mentally said and entered my room

It took time before i got to fall asleep,

The next day Mus'ain came to say bye he was going to Abuja that afternoon, his flight is in the night,

"I'm gonna miss you JD" he said hugging me and I hugged him back

"See you soon Musmus" i said,

My eyes met sultan's and he eyed me so immediately I released myself from Mus'ain's hold and i smiled...............
