[ IN THE YEAR 2012] ( PRESENT)

Dear diary,

It has been 11years since I graduated from High school and now I am in the University for Development studies ( UDS) offering the course community Nutrition in level 200 hundred now.

Alhamdulillah I'm forever grateful to Allah for bringing me this far.

I am in the same room with one of my friend's Hafsat. It was a coincidence we both attended the same Junior high school and now at the same University as well, Hafsat is more like a sister to me,we do almost everything together, She offers Development Education.

" Mina!!" I heard my name from downstairs, which I quickly closed my diary and kept under my dressing mirror then heading downstairs.

I went and my mom and Dad were sitting on the couch.

" Yes Dad you called me"

" Yes I did, I want you to takecare of the house, your mom and I are traveling to kumasi tomorrow for a business trip and our flight is set early morning"

" Ooh okay Dad, I wish you a safe journey in advance" I wished..

" Thank you" they both chorused.
" So what do you wish to do in our absence?" my dad asked

" Well, I wish to go shopping, and to visit a friend of mine, Hafsat" I replied.

" You this girl you like to spend money alot, don't you have enough clothes?" My mom asked.

" Mom, I wish to get new clothes so that I can give my used ones out to charity" I muttered.

" Is Okay, so how much would you be needing for the shopping" my dad asked.

" Mmm, Dad I would need about GHC500.00 " I muttered.

" GHC500.00 for what Mina!!" My mom exclaimed.

" Mom... I have alot of things to buy" I shrugged.

" Is okay, after all how much is 500cedis"

" Alhaj you are spoiling this girl with a lot of money oo" my mom interfered
" Hajia come on, if she doesn't get all her needs from us, from whom do you expect her to get it from, after all she is our only daughter, we need to spend on her" my dad smirk at my mom.

I chuckled by hearing that.

" Hmm Alhaj please you need to minize her spendings oo, this is too much aba" my mom mumbled.

" Mom, I am now an adult, I need to spend money on myself"

" Adult for where, to me you are still a baby"

" Okay oo, continue I'm just here watching you" my mom muttered.

Beep beep..( my phone vibrated, then it was transfer alert)

" Dad thank you so much, just had the alert" I said as I hugged my dad.

" You are welcome my daughter" he said as her patted on my back.

" Please allow the driver to drop you at your destination" my dad added.

" Okay dad" I replied, then headed towards my room.

I laid on my bed then heaved a sigh of relief, as I turned on my phone data to view WhatsApp messages, and statuses.

Immediately I saw a message from Hafsat.

" Xup babygirl"

" Cool and you" I texted back

" I'm okay"

" Good" I texted

" So what's new?" She asked

" Well.. tomorrow Insha Allah, I would be at your place for us to go shopping"

" Wow, can't wait then, I would be expecting you 🤗,"

" Sure then, call you tomorrow Insha Allah"

" Okay goodnight 😴"she texted

" Goodnight" I texted back"

I kept my phone on the side bed and headed towards the bathroom to perform ablution and pray Isha, after I was done praying and supplicating I headed towards downstairs and had supper with my parents, after that I helped aunt Jamila in the kitchen to clean up the dishes, actually I don't like it when she does everything in the house, I help her once in a while.

After we were done washing the dishes I headed towards my room and went straight to the bathroom I took a quick shower and put on my pajamas and went straight to bed after I was done saying my night prayers.
