Chapter 6: Yusuf
Yesterday Adnan met me in L-Spot, together we ate breakfast and waited patiently for our lecture time. While waiting, Fatimah and her chubby friend arrived. I couldn't take my eyes off them because I was so surprised, I never thought they would be there. I stared at them as they ordered for food, glanced at me and then smiled while they talk to each other.
"You know them?" Adnan asked.
"Of course, yes. They are in 100 Level. I met them in that fool's fucking lecture" I uttered.
"Dr Marwan?" He smirked. "Just because you have his carryover doesn't mean he's a fool"
"Yes, and just because you don't have his carryover doesn't mean he's not a fool" I snapped at him.
"Hmm, okay" He said checking his wristwatch with his wide eyes. "Time's almost up, let's go"
"Come on, we still have 20 minutes more" I said as I checked my own time and then glanced at Fatimah. "Let's wait, Adnan..."
"Oh, is it about

Today I woke up as early as possible because I was having Dr Marwan's lecture again, and while driving to school I bought some snacks and coca cola along the way. When I arrived at our lecture venue, I met Qudrah and few other students already in the hall. Qudrah waved at me to come and sit close to her, she had secured a seat for me already in the front like she always used to do. She was a good student, always coming to school in time."Good morning" I said walking closer to her, she was wearing a black jallabiya today with a qhimar which fitter her perfectly the fact that she was fair though not as fair as Yusuf."Morning, Fatimah" She said clearing the seat she secured for me. "How are you and how was your night? I hope you slept well?""I am fine Qudrah, and yes... I slept well. How family? Hope they are fine?" I uttered."They are fine, dear!" She said and just then Dr M

Ever since I gave Adnan a go ahead to court Fatimah, he had always been disturbing her with calls. I know I didn't love her but to tell you the truth I was already beginning to be jealous. Don't ask me why, I also didn't know!On my part, however I couldn't quit smoking but I had minimised the amount of beer I used to consume. And about women, forgive me but I didn't really think I would stop as of now. If I ever had the chance, I would definitely do it.Please don't blame me, blame my evil family. The more my father and sister put pressure on me, the temeritous I become. I didn't want this life but what could I do? I was already getting used to it, people should know this by now.Yesterday was fresher's orientation day, and in the night a party was thrown in Eko Hotel. I was there and I had fun with lot of my friends except Adnan whom was somehow devout, and even more godfearing ever since he met Fatimah. Bo

As promised, Adnan called me while I was in my room preparing to sleep. He seemed good, he even asked me to try performing ablution and make sure I pray before sleeping. I wasn't used to performing ablution... but that day, I did it before sleeping. In the morning, his call woke me up and when I picked up he greeted me and told me to pray. I was so very happy.And that was how our life together continued, we became so close to each other as time went by and I saw him only as a biological brother I never had. He provided me with all his past handouts and other necessary materials that I should study ahead of my lecturers. I thanked him and he told me, "No thanks between us".Yesterday our department held an orientation for us; the freshers and I was happy because I learned a lot. We were told how to live a very successful academic life and so on. They also shared us bulky novels concerning the evil of cultism, dating and also scho

After so much drama with Dr Marwan, I was finally home. Could you believe despite wasting my time by staying till evening and helping him with his bag to the parking lot he still refused to reconsider me? I wonder what kind of heartless human being he was. Well, I had given up. If I fail his course again I still had two more years to reseat for it. Smiles!The house was quiet today, the drama queen and our father weren't around. It was only our mother and the maids. After taking shower, I went to the dining room and ate dinner before expiating all the prayers that I had missed.After that, I wore my nightwear about sleeping when my system beeped. It was a notification sound, so I walked over to it and then pulled it open. Hence, I saw an update from DailyTrust."Alhaji Bulama of Bulama Cooperation visited burnt down factory with wife, daughter and nephew. — Reported by Khadijah Sa'id Jagaba"

After driving Qudrah to their house, I drove home and took a warm shower before changing into another outfit and going downstairs to my parents. They had already prepared. Same as Munir, he was standing close to my father with a black suitcase unyielded in his hand."Wow, kin hadu" My mother said as she looked me from head to toe. She loved my new outfit."Thank you, mum" I said while coyly smiling. I thought my father would also comment on the outfit but he didn't say anything, he headed out of the mansion with Munir gently trailing him."Come here, my baby girl" My mother held my hand, thus we headed out of the mansion too.According to her, we would use my father's limousine to the airport and then board an AreaShuttle helicopter to our destinations."Great idea, it would be more faster" I said."Yeah" She smiled at me.&

They were the serious ones among us!Talking about Adnan being one of the serious ones among us, his relationship with Fatimah had also become stronger than sedimentary rock. They were always seen together and even during Dr. Marwan's lectures he would join us as if he was as well carryingover the course.Every time I see them together, I used to feel somehow sad or was it jealous?

Today was literally Sunday, a day to our first semester examination. Like I had been doing ever since it began approaching, I dedicated my time to my books. You hardly see me doing other things apart from reading. Dr Marwan's paper was the first and so I ought to give it my utmost best as it was a 4 credit unit course and very wide unlike Dr Lailah's course and others.While reading in my study island my phone began ringing, it was Adnan so I picked up and greeted him. He replied joyfully and asked me to come outside that he was by our gate. Actually, this wasn't his first time of coming but he had never stepped his foot inside our gate..."Toh, wait for me. Ga ni nan zuwa" I said and then cut the call.

Dr Marwan's carryover course was the first and then a fresh 200level course later in the noon. It wasn't a surprise to me at all that there were no students outside the exam hall, they were all inside hence I walked up to the invigilator standing by the entrance and then showed him my examination card. It was a postgraduate student, he looked me in the eyes and sighed. "And your identification card?""Identification what? Do I need to bring that too?" I said glaring at him. I was taller than him in height but he looked more older in age."Yes, just like all other students" He uttered returning back my examination card to me. He must be new.
