CHAPTER FOUR
RECAP:
" Baba I want you to listen please" She begged ....
" Am ready to Hear you so you can start" He smiled.....
**************
She looked at him once again, still contemplating where to start from! The day she was born, her days in the US as a university girl or The day She choosed to fornificated... She felt shy starting from the latter.
She took a deep breath and exhaled. Then opened up and Said " Actually Baba You know am Amina right? "She asked. He shook his head and looked at her ahain seeing regret, pain and anxiety fill in her. " Ina jinki nasani yarnan ( Am hearing you and I know my child)" He answered.
"Baba I was born by Alhaji Muhammad Bugaje, And Amina Mohammad Bomai. My Father was a very rich and affluent man From Katsina State, He had my mum as his only wife." She lamented.
"There were a couple who loved each other and were ready to sacrifice anything worthy for each other's happiness. They got married for ten good years before having me. There comes a time when my mother asked my father to get married so theu could have a child but he refused, Saying it was not the time for them to have a child when Allah wishes he's going to grace them with a bundle of joy that will fill their lives with happiness. They had their ups and downs but still stick to each other never letting one go. When my mother was pregnant with me. My Father's joy couldn't contain the world. It was said that it was "one evening while he was away for business trip, he had planned to spend four days but finished what took him in two days, So he decided to suprise my mum by coming back earlier than predicted. As he arrived he quickly rush hime and found her vomitting. She wasn't herself anymore and was weak , So he took her to the hospital where the Doctor confirmed that she was pregnant and Their happiness couldn't be overwhelmed.
" Due to my mother's age there were complications during her first trimester which letting to almost aborting the baby but she was ready to bring their little love into this world. People say I was a warrior but That's why despite the hurdles she gave birth naturally. "I was a healthy and bright baby, Named after my Mother" She continued. " Growing up as a child, I was showered with so much love and affection by both parent's. I wasn't let to do anything myself. I had everything I wished for at my finger tips, I was called the spoilt brat but Parent's never cared especially My Father. My mother Hajiya Amina was a bit strict on me but She couldn't keep that up because my father was never ready to see that I was disciplined. "There was a time when I abused one of the maids and was reported to my mum, that day I got the beating of my life from her I was about the age of five I think, But the drama wasn't over. Immediately I heard the sound of my Father's car , I opened up my mouth and cried as if I was about to die. He didn't listened to anyone and even threatened to divorce my mum because I have told him lies and exaggerated everything that transgressed in his absence. I was happy because he was my shield, I could do all I want without getting scolded not knowing it wasn't best for me. That one day the day of reckoning will surely come. I attended one of the best schools in Katsina. Nigerian Lily Academy ( NLA). I was the school for the rich. So there were just some spoilt rats born with silver spoon attending such School. My holidays were always spend in the states. While In Secondary School I had a gang called "Gang Bang" It was filled with character and mannerless kids. Young kids trying to catch cruise. All we do is party, it was when I was Thirteen and in SS1 that I started smoking weed, " Waiyazubillahi" Baba muffled looking suprised and lost.
" Yes!!! " I nodded back attend him with a faint smile tugged behind my lips and regret filled in my heart.
" This wasn't the only bad deed I had done Baba, There are more coming your way because I wae very bad and had a rough life which I immensely regret deep down. I wiped the tiny shed of tears around the corner of my eyes and squeezed them. Looking up into the Sky , I saw so much beauty in how Allah My Lord , has created the Sky. Why had I done so much to displease My Lord. I was lost in thoughts again.
Baba tapped his legs with his rosary and that brought me back from the reverie I was in.
" Hithertho to before I finished Secondary School I had accumulated alot of bad Habits, But that was hidden to my Parents. I had always show them I was that good girl and so none of them were aware I was this bad" I continue lamenting my head now looking down on the tiled floor of Baba's room front.
I heaved a sigh of relief and kept talking. " I finished Secondary School at Sixteen but with a very Good result, Yes!! Eventhough I was bad but I was never letting all I do come in between my studies. This was one of the few things I was very Proud of ". We graduated from Nigerian Lily Academy and parted way with my bad Friends, but this didn't meant my bad Habits will stop but no Instead back home, a Suprised Party was Planned For Me. All my family members were present both from my maternal and paternal. It was a joyous occasion because, a Visa to US was issued to me by my dearest dad and an admission letter to study medicine which was my biggest dream . I was set to leave a day after. I was very much delighted, happy and excited. The whole Amina is leaving abroad not just for vacation but to study. It was my First time of leaving Nigeria but this was special because I was going to study my dream course there. I beamed and squealed like a four year old hugging my father and thanking him for such a great Gift. I was overwhelmed with joy. But going to the US was very regretful for me because it was the beginning of my doom. I regret the day the Flight to California took off with me in the plane. I regret the First day I went to club, the first day I started drinking alcohol. And all other things I've ever done................
