"Bee you wanted to tell us about your encounter with that crazy man?" Afraah asked.
"Hmm,my dear I took nini's advice and I completely ignored him for 5 days but you won't believe how he reacted," Bilkisu replied.
"What happened?"Zahra asked.
"The road was so empty as I was coming back from the mini shop near our hostel on thursday evening,when a strong hand suddenly pulled me from behind. I was so frightened by the force and even more scared when I saw him," Bilkisu narrated.
"Are you kidding me?" Afraah asked.
"Nope. He held my wrist tightly and started uttering some angry and threatening words that I could not fully comprehend. A car pulled over close to us,I was about to scream for help when I saw Haneem in the passenger seat. Luckily, she understood what was going on and worked her magic," Bilkisu concluded with a smile.
Afraah and Zarah exchanged questioning glances.
"You were in the market around that time,how did you save the day?" Zahra queried.
"I had just got out of the car when I ran into an old friend who I had not seen in years. He..."
"Ke tsaya!(hey stop) which old friend?" Zahra inquired.
"Zayyad used to live in my neighbourhood a while ago. He offered me a ride and we caught up on the past years. He informed me that he is in the military now so when I noticed what was happening, I quickly told him what was going on," I explained.
"I wish you girls were there to see what happened. He saved me with just few words,Zayyad is a lifesaver!" Bilkisu said excitedly.
"Waw!" Afraah exclaimed. "I'm glad its over,she added."
"But are you sure he won't come back?" Zahra asked.
"Zayyad collected his number and assured me that he had further warned him to stay away,"I responded.
"That is such a relieve! But Haneem are you sure you two just 'friends'?" Zahra said with a wink.
"I doubt it!" Afraah teased with a smile.
