āAh this long queue, abegā I said as I approached the ATM beside our house.
I stood for a few minutes, āwhen will it come to my turn, gaskiya Banda lokaci let me be goingā I said to my self as I took my leave
. āHello come and go before meā called out a young man. I turned
āAh thank youā I quickly ran in front of him as the people in the queue grumbled.
Thank you I said with a big smile.
You are welcome he said.
To be frank with you I didnāt give him a second look, I withdrew my money, thanked him and I was on my way.
He quickly followed me.
āI didnāt catch your name missā
āI didnāt throw itā I said.
Haba now this is not how you respond to your knight in shining armour
Knight keā i let out a loud laugh
āOk whatās your name at least, do you mind if I drop you?ā He asked.
āMy house is down the road so donāt worry and yes my name is Fatimaā
āOh you see this is meant to be, you have my momās name, can I call you mama na?ā
āWell you can call me Ummi, thatās what my family call me ā I said.
āCan I see your phoneā he asked
āwhyā I asked as I looked at my shattered screen. I quickly hid it with my veil.
I want to dial my number, so you can have my number, you need me in your lifeā He said with a smirk
āIs that what you say to every girlā I asked
āNo just the ones I likeā he said
āLet me goā
I wouldnāt let you go until you give me your number or instagram handle or snapā he said smiling
For the first time we locked eyes, I felt some electric surge down my body, he is a fine man I aināt got lie.
ā08134435581, can I go now?ā
āWait now, haba mana ummi naā
āUmmin ka? You are such a charmer just now now I am your ummi?ā I asked with a smile.
āYo da ta waceceā
Tun da kinki na rage miki hanya shi ke nan. He opened his car and started the ignition.
Suddenly my phone rang.
āArenāt you going to pick that? Mijin ki na kira baza ki dauka baā he said with a broad smile and drove off
