She stretch her body for a little while before finally opening her eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room. She gets up from her laying position and sit down on her bed that there's no difference between the bed and the mat.
She ambles out of her room and check her surrounding maybe she will see her mother because she knows by now her father would already be in the masjid. She couldn't see any sign of her mother which was unusual but decided to pray maybe she didn't wake up on time. With that thought she perform ablution and went back to her room to pray
She finish praying together with her morning azkar before going out to do her morning duties, since she would be going out a bit early for her morning lectures. She didn't see her mother on sight which is unlike her. She walk to there room and said Salam but got no reply after waiting for some minutes she walks in. But to her ultmost surprise she saw her mother laying down
"Umma. What happen? She said a bit panicked sitting close to her. She touch her forehead with her hand to check her temperature but remove it immediately. "Umma you're burning. What happen? talk to me" she said almost at the verge of tears. She detest seeing her Umma sick or worried
"Don't worry diyata. It's just a fever" her umma said in a hoarse voice."Don't say that. You're burning and you're telling me it's just a fever, Haba Umma. Wait let me get a water and a towel" without waiting for her Umma's reply she hurriedly walk out of the room to get what she need.
She returned shortly after with the water and towel. She dip the towel inside the water, squeeze it and place it on her forehead. She did that for some minutes before her temperature calm down a little bit and she slept off.She was sweeping the compound when her father entered inside the compound "Inna kwana Baba"she said to her father weakly
"Lafiya diyata. Har kin Fara aiki?"
"Ehn"
"Toh madala. Hurry up and finish so that you won't be late for your lectures"
"Humm, dama Baba I will not be going to school today"
"And why?, if I must ask"
"Umma is sick and I want to look after her when you're not around"
"And with whose permission are you staying at home?" He asked with a little bit raise in his voice which she keep mute
"Answer mu" he shouted a little bit again
"Dama"
"Dama what?. Toh let me tell you sound and clear. You see that school, you must go. And about your mother I will not be going anywhere. So better hurry up and finish your work and leave. I don't want you to be late for school" with that he entered there room where his wife was laying down sleeping peacefully.
She was done with everything that needed to be done she, even prepare the breakfast and took it to her parents room. "Baba nagama"
"Yauwa. Yin hakuri diyata. Am sorry for shouting at you earlier. But you know I don't mean to. I don't want you to miss these golden opportunity for you to learn"
"It's okay Baba. I understand let me get going. My regards to umma when she wakes up"
"I will. Take these with you" he said bringing out the money in his pocket to her "Baba leave it. Add it up to Umma medication money. I still have some change with me"
"Are you sure?"he asked
"Yes. I am"comes her reply
"Allah maki Albarka diyata. Start going I don't want you to be late" she left the room quietly and headed for school.
Tehzeeb couldn't get Keke on time till after some minutes before she could get one, which she knows without doubt that she will be late. She arrived at the school and hurriedly walk to the lecture venue but luck was not by her side because the lecturer was already around. She tried her luck maybe she will not send her out. Upon taking a step to enter Madam Maryam spoke" Don't you dare me young lady. Get out of my class" with that being said she continues with her lecture
Mrs Maude have rules and regulations, among her rules no one enters her class after she had entered. Tehzeeb couldn't sit because there was a probability that Mrs Maude would be giving them test which she don't want to miss but have no other option. She stands close to the window to gain some knowledge even though she'll not be allowed to attend the class.
Mrs Maude left the class without giving them any test just her normal attendence which Tezheeb was a bit relief since this her first time of missing her class "Tezheeb" someone called from behind her which she turned and come face to face with her friend.
"Ke lafiya?" Her friend asked in concern
"Inna fa lafiya kawa"
"What happened? You look dull and came late for the lecture when you know it's Madam Maryam lecture we're having this morning"
"Madam Maude aside for now since there is no test just attendance" She said before telling her the reason why she was late "Umma was a little bit sick these morning that's why I was late"
"Eyyah. Allah Kara mata sauki. Don't worry dear. I know how worried you get when umma is sick. But I promise she will be fine"
"Nagode"
"Let's go for our next lecture since it's just two lectures we're having today after that you can leave" with that they both walk out to there next lecture without saying a word again.
Tehzeeb was physically in the class but all her attention and thought were at home. She was eager to go home to see what's happening to her Umma. She was so lost in her own thought thinking of what going on at home that did she didn't even know what the lecturer was saying until Khadija touch her. She turned and face her before she raised her eyebrows in question. "You're not listening babe. Atleast concentrate a little bit"
"Am sorry. Just worried about Umma that's all"
"I know and she will be fine. Now listen and listen attentively"
"Thank you" with that she face the class to listen to what the lecturer is teaching. Immediately the lecturer left she Sprint out of the class like someone that's being chase without even waiting for Khadija to say goodbye

She was in a haste to go home that she was not looking at her front and bumb into someone."Am sorry" she said and continue walking without waiting for the person she bumb into to say anything nor taking a second glance at him. She hail a cap and enter to go home. She arrived at home and was about to Sprint inside when the cap man talk"Mallama Baki biyani ba fa" he shouted which stop and hit her forehead with her hand before she turn to him"Sorry. Mantuwa na yi" with that being said she paid and Sprint inside the compound. "Umma. Umma" she begin to shout even before she reach the room."Ke yarinya na yaushe Zaki girma?" Baba asked "daga dawowar ki da Kiran sunnan Umma ki ko" her Baba said laughing at her behavior. She pout "Haba Baba. You know she was sick before I left for school that's why" she replied still pouting"Diyata manta da Baban ki. Na samu sauki lafiyata kalau yanzu" her Umma said smiling. Sh
"Ni kika Mara" the guy said angryly"Na mara banza" Tehzeeb reply him anger evident in her voice."You don't know who you're messing with" the guy reply in the same tune Tehzeeb used to talk to him. He have never been humiliated in his life before nor have been slapped before by someone and now a lady have lay her filthy hand on his face that from a low class"And who the hell are you? I don't care who the bloody hell you're. All I care is that no one. I repeat no one dare insult or look down at my parents. That's again from a guy that doesn't have proper home training. You lack manners" Tehzeeb shouted and continue talking "it's better you go back home from where you're coming from and learn some respect" with that being said she turn to her parents "Umma let's be going. You need to rest, that's why I was insisting you stay at home to rest. But nevertheless that's your fate and we have nothing to do with Allah have destin
Immediately they arrived at home Tehzeeb burst into a series of tears streaming down her face. She was in pain about what happened. She easily get emotional when it's comes to her parents. She abhor seeing them in pain or being look down on just because they're nobody. The wealth which she knows Allah can take it away from whosoever he wish to take it away from but because of that worldly thing some look down on her parents.When she remembers the look the guy gave her parents she cried more than before and clutch onto her chest more tightly"Haba Tehzeeb. Why are you crying now. You slapped him which I think you feel better but here you are crying. Why?" Mallam Audu her father asked"Am sorry Baba. I just" she hiccups "I just don't like it when someone look down or disrespect you. I can't do that to someone's else parent's but look at what happened. Someone like that guy who's nobody say what he feels like to say wi
Tehzeeb has been busy with her studies because they were already in test week. Which most of the lecturers will not announced the day they will write, they will just come to the class and asked them to tear a sheet of paper for test. She don't want to be left behind nor come to class unprepared so she's seriously reading her books even when she's at home."Umma" she called her mother"Na'am Tehzeeb" her mother answer"Let me get going. I don't want to be late and there's sun""Okay toh. All the best dear""Thank you""Wait" her Umma called out to her before she left "your father said I should give you transport fare. Here take it and quickly leave before you get late""Umma keep it. I still have some change in my hand" she said returning the money to her Umma"Take the money and leave or you tell me the reason you don't like collecting mon
She did as she was told before going out to join her parents to eat"My daughter. How was the lecturers" asked Baba Mallam Audu"It was fine. Alhamdulillah" replied Tehzeeb"That's good. May the Lord see you through""Ameen Baba" with that they ate there food in silence. Tehzeeb pack the dishes to the kitchen before she performs wudu and enters her room.She was not in the mood to go out to gist with her parents today, because if she does then they will know that something was bothering her which she don't want them to know."Tehzeeb dear. Aren't you coming out?" Umma asked from outside her room"No Umma. I want to go through my books first""Oh dear. You need to rest. It's not been long you came back from school and you want to read again. Let's your brain rest for a while""Hummm" she sighed before she replies "Okay Umma
Tehzeeb woke up with headache because she couldn't sleep throughout the night. After praying she didn't have the strength to check on her parents so she lay down to rest for a while maybe the headache might reduceUmma finish her morning azkar and she have not seen Tehzeeb so she got worried and decided to check on her daughter because it's unlike her. She walked to Tehzeeb room and saw her laying down"Inallilahi Tehzeeb. What happened to you? Why are you like this?" Umma asked her in one breathe"Umma don't stress yourself so much. It's just a magrin that's all" She said to her mother in a low voice"Don't say that. Look at the way you're laying down and you're telling me it's just magrin. Wait. What did you do through out last night?" Umma question"Nothing Umma""Nop, you can't tell me nothing. Don't tell me you were worried about what transpired between your fat
In life no matter what you do people will suspect or point finger at you. So it's better to stay in a clear cost. We own our life not others_______________________________The tension in the room was too much and becoming unbearable for Tehzeeb but she dare not walk out on her parents since she was not brought up like that. She hang her head low expecting the inevitable because she knows her father will give her his piece of mind. There silence was disturbing her but she couldn't talk since she have spill the beans. She was about to say something when she heard her father cleared his throat. Which she sighed in relief because that alone lessened the tension in the room"Tehzeeb" Mallam Audu called her name. She shivered with the way he called her name. The tune in which he used to call her name was rarely used by him unless it's something
The best relationship is that which is built on trust, understanding and respect. If a relationship lack this, then there will be alot of circumstances which the two will face and that will give room to there foes to intervene in there life's. Build relationship on trust, understanding and respect. Not on material things---------------------------------------------Tehzeeb woke up today happily and energetic. She just don't know why she feels happy and at ease after her discussion with her parents and the out come of it. She's super happy and can't wait to see Khady to tell her about the good news, but there's no lecture today so she decided that she will visit Khady since it's been long she visited her and atleast she will get to know about the work maybe there's a vacancy for her to fit in.She
