Dawn of Love - Episode 6

 

SORRY FOR NOT POSTING ALL THIS WHILE THE PRESENT CRISIS IN JOS HAD ME RUNNING FROM MY HOUSE.

".........But Papa the registration is set to finish next week" Zainab spoke into the telephone.
"Don't worry about that, by His grace I should be back by then and we will go together" came her father's voice through the phone. He had traveled to the Federal capital territory to sort out certain political issues.
"No papa you will not come back fast, I really want to start now please" she pressed on
"I know you are so eager to go and start, okay fine, take a pen and write out this number, he will help you with the registration" he said agreeing to let her go.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, I love you papa" she responded in excitement
"Anything for you my darling, and don't forget to go with the driver, I don't want you going alone" 
"Okay papa thank you, see you soon, bye, I love you" she said and dropped the phone.
She set out on the next day on instruction of the dean medical sciences after speaking with him on phone via the number her dad gave her.
"Where are you going to? small woman" Abdul her brother asked as she entered the parlour where he sat watching music videos
"Am going to school for my registration"
"Hmm so the little bird is about to fly out of the cage alone for the first time, I hope you told your father" he said smiling slyly
"Leave me, leave me" she said childishly
He laughed, walked to her and holding her by her shoulders
"Congratulations baby sis at least your are making Papa proud not like me"
"Oh so you know you are a bad child and why did it take you so long to congratulate me" she replied smiling knowing that's probably the sweetest thing he would ever say.
He laughed and pulled her nose playfully as she ran after him in a bid to pull his own nose too.
"What is going on here? Why are you two running up and down like little children?" Their mother said, stopping their play as she entered the parlour.
"Zainab are you not suppose to go out? You are running up and down like a little girl, you are a woman now for heavens sake" She continued
Abdul hissed and looked at her from head to feet like some unimportant person speaking
"Zainab let's go I will drop you" he said pulling her by the hand as she still stood like a soldier standing at ease.
Hajiya Aisha just stood not surprised at the boys disrespect that was now a normal occurrence in the house.
"Young man she did not ask for your help, the driver will drop her" she said commandingly
He did not reply as he just pulled his sister with him out of the parlour and down the staircase. 
"Allah what have I done to deserve this boy for a child, only you can save me from his madness" Hajiya Aisha said looking heaven wards
When they got out, the driver was already by the car waiting, it was the only car he was not permitted to drive, his father's personal car.
"Usman, don't worry I will drive her"
The driver was hesitant, he knew this could be trouble for him.
"Usman I said give me the keys" Abdul said again this time in more firm tune
"Oga, big Oga say make I drive am for small madam, gaskiya him go vex" the driver replied with the little English he could speak turning to look at Zainab and pleading for assistance with his eyes.
"Usman don't worry Papa will not know just give him the key" Zainab interfered and he complied
They drove to the gate where the armed military men hailed him, he joked with them and laughed as he drove by . Over time they had become his friends or accomplices to be more precise they aided him in escaping from the house and sneaking back in when he went for his late night wild parties and he in turn tipped them with cash, drinks and sometimes even ladies.
"Why did you reply mum like that?" Zainab said loudly making him turn down the volume of the car stereo
"I didn't hear you" he replied
"Why are you so stubborn and disobedient and disrespectful? She said again not minding if he would get angry
He laughed hard, focused on the road not turning to look at her

. After a while he replied
"Trust me its better when you are"
"I don't understand" she said adjusting to face him
"Am a man of my own, I don't need anyone controlling my life, Abdul do this, Abdul do that. Please I can't stand that" he explained to her
"That's not true, nobody is controlling you, I think you just enjoy been stubborn" she said
He laughed again "okay maybe you got me there I actually enjoy it"
"I don't think you should be giving mum trouble or even Papa, they don't deserve it" she said folding her hands across her chest like an angry wife.
"So says daddy's little angel, winner  good girl of the century, don't worry, you are now in the university and you will understand better" he said smiling to himself.
They drove into the school's campus and he dropped her at the faculty of medical sciences.
"Okay little bunny so this is your stop"
"Thanks this is like the only good thing you have done in your life" Zainab teased him as she opened the door
"Wait for me when you are done, I will hang around with my boys" he said to her
"Oh so that's your plan, you only drove me so you could drive around with Papa's car right?"
He laughed "yeah you caught me again, now get out my friend" he zoomed off still laughing.
Zainab been his only sister or more correctly speaking the only one he considered his sister was practically the only person he talked to in the house, she was his baby sister and he loved her for her innocence and would not even imagine her ever been like the girls he misbehaved with. Speaking of girls, he had to go impress some, especially the new girls on campus which were always the easiest to get but not first taking his boys with him, they had to see him drive the Range Rover classic, the most expensive car at the time.
