Nana's POV.

It was a warm evening,I sat outside my mum's shop staring at the people going up and down the street buying, selling, eating, arguing etc.
I smiled to myself as I folded my arms around myself.
It was cold and yeah I was feeling a bit cold too,who doesn't feel cold in the month of December?

I can't believe that it's December already..wow.
I sat there digesting the incidents that happened to me just within the span of one and a half year.
Hmm!I sighed while rubbing my palm on my forehead.
"This life is not sweet at all" I said to myself.

Life for me,my mum and sisters was now better.
We live in a decent house,we wear fine but not too expensive clothes, we feed well, you know especially when your mother has a restaurant.
Things have changed.
We live better,we are better,we feel better.

I brought out my iPhone to check the time and when I switched it on,a picture of me was on the screen.
I remember taking that picture on Julian's graduation day.
It wasn't my graduation but I sure was very happy just like everyone else.

So, I mentioned an iPhone.
Yes my boss bought me an iPhone as a gift because I was the overall best student in my class at the end of the term.
I don't know how possible it was but it was a Miracle and you need to see the way my mum was running up and down the hall on the speech and price giving day.
Parents will never change especially the Nigerian parents.
You tell them not to invite anyone but my mom invited almost everyone she knew on Julian's graduation.
She became his mother and father because his parents were not able to make it and most of their relatives were outside the country.
At first he felt bad but when my mother surprised him with big big food flasks of chicken and fried rice with lots of snacks and drinks, everything changed.

My mother was there to support and comfort them.
We became like a family even though we were not related at all.
When I say I love my mum, it's like an understatement.

She thought me how to pick up the pieces and move on.
She thought me how to be strong in every circumstances.
She thought me not to show people my weakness.
She thought me how to be a woman with dignity and respect.
She thought me to walk with charisma,my head held high "like the beautiful woman you are, don't let anyone look down on you, don't let circumstances change you into a negative person and don't let your enemies win".
"Fight for what is rightfully yours and lastly involve God in everything you do".
Very important she always tells me.
I think I forgot something else...... yeah I forgot to mention that my mother thought me how to cook.

My mum once told me that she served in the king's palace a long time ago.
I don't know which king and which palace,all I know is that she is a pro when it comes to cooking.
My father have missed mchewww.. I hissed.
"Yeye man".

My iphone buzzed
I checked and it was a message from M.T.N.
I hissed again mchewww....who M.T.N help.

So speaking of which..
You need to see Juliana jumping up and down like cockroach that is running for it's life the day I was given this iPhone.

............
Flash back.

"Hey Na I'm afraid I got a little gift for you hope you don't mind"?
My boss asked me.

Of course I don't mind,who doesn't like gifts.

"I don't mind sir I replied".

"Okay here you go"he said while handing me the wrapped item and that's when somebody grabbed it and quickly opened it.

"Ohh! my God"
She shouted.
She started running and jumping at the same time.

What is now doing this stupid girl I thought to myself.

James on the other hand was just smiling like.....argh I don't even know.

I said "Thank you sir"and walked away with out knowing what the gift was not until I sighted Juliana taking selfies by the swimming pool and what she held in her hands looked like an iPhone.

I didn't know when I turned around and hugged my boss very tightly.

Our awkward position was ended when someone asked.
"What is going on here"?.

I quickly let go and began to explain but it was futile because I couldn't comprehend what I was saying until Juliana said it for me.
"He bought her an iPhone".

So? Julian asked.

"It's iPhone 11"she shouted.

"Juliana will you stop shouting and keep your voice low"?
"You want to turn my house upside down because of iPhone 11,who has never seen iPhone 11"?.
Julian asked.

"Mr Man, I know I am excited about this but don't you dare use it as an opportunity to insult me now if would please excuse me"Juliana said as she deliberately hit him with her shouler before walking out and I followed suit.

I used to have an Infinix phone that I bought or rather, Juliana bought for me with my money.
Hmm long story ohh.

Juliana stole my A.T.M card that day, bought the phone with a Sim card and dropped it on my bed to surprise me.
I almost ran mad when I realized that she used Fourhty thousand naira from my bank account to get me the phone.
She let me finish my shouting and yelling and when I was calm, she began explaining how I should move with the trend, behave like a big girl with class, bla bla bla.
At the end I was thankful to her.

I gave the infinix phone to my mum who said she would rather buy a motorcycle than use her money to buy all this big big phone.
Point of correction mummy..
"Fourty thousand cannot buy you a motorcycle in this generation".

You will not believe when I tell you that the day I opened for my mother a Facebook account...I quickly regretted it because that day,I did not hear word..cause she kept my awake till 12 o clock asking me questions like...
"How do I reply to a comment"?
"How do I update my profile picture"?
"Yay... somebody sent me a friend request...ahh
Mcchew see this girl that is dressed like an ashawo".
"They said I have two mutual friends what is the meaning of that"?
"Someone commented on my picture what should I reply"?

That day,I felt like pounding my mother.
Next time I will do it again I mentally scolded myself.

End of flash back.

........

My phone buzzed again..
What is wrong with this ..M.T.......
Ohh it was Julian.

Julian😎:why isn't Juliana picking my calls?is she okay?

Now what is my own sef?

Me:I don't know but I would ask her.

Julian 😎: okay thanks later then.

Me: your problem is your girlfriend..u can't even ask how I'm doing anyways how is Canada?

Julian 😎:Canada is cold...I'll chat you up later babes.

Me:ok later boo.

Yeah Julian got a scholarship to Canada for his degree programme to study computer engineering.

You need to see the way Juliana was crying her eyes out the day he was leaving.
I even felt sorry for her.
First time I saw the mumu crying seriously..

Awnn what love can do.. and yeah he gave her an iPhone before taking his flight..
Come and see her again
Mcchew crying finished as soon as she saw iPhone she started taking selfies and wishing him a safe flight.
