Chapter 19
Ridwan had left for work early this morning before I woke up. I ate breakfast then came back to the room to pick out my outfit for this evening. I brought out a long flowery dress from my wardrobe as I layed it on the bed. I wrapped my hands together in front as I looked at the dress I had dropped as I stood in front of it. I had other options and I knew I was quite indecisive too so I resisted the urge to bring out other options from my wardrobe and just decided to go for that one. It was 12pm already. I needed to take a shower then start getting ready so I could at least do a light make up and avoid getting late because surprisingly I could meet with a traffic on the way.
As I was about getting into the bathroom, my phone beeped, I picked it up from the table and realized it was Hawa. She had sent a text to confirm if I was still going to make it. "Yes girl, i am not going to miss it for anything" I texted back.
I went in to take my shower and few minutes later I was done. I started to get ready. Got on my dress then sat in front of my dressing mirror to do my make up.
I just applied a bit of foundation, powder, drew my brows and added a nude lipstick. It was almost 2PM now. I didn't realise how much time had passed until I checked.
I thought of also stopping my the super market to get a gift for Hawa since I hadn't really prepared ahead.
I picked up my bag and when I was about to leave, I sent Ridwan a message letting him know that I was leaving the house at that moment. He had also insisted that the driver take me and didn't want me to drive alone.
I got into the car and the driver starts the car
"Please, we will be stopping at the mall for a bit. I want to get a gift for hawa" I said
"Okay Ma" he said
After a short while, we got to the Mall.
"I will be back in only a short while" I said getting down from the car.
As I was about to enter into the mall, I saw a very familiar face walking up to me.
"Tes, is that you?" He inquired as he moved closer to me.
"Ade" I said
"Wow" I smiled
"So good to finally see you, I thought I would never get to see you in Abuja" he said and I just smiled remembering how he had asked if we could meet up when we both had a chart. "I just had so much to do then" I said
"It's no problem, just glad to finally get to see you after a long time. You look even more beautiful than I had imagined" he said with a smile.
"Thanks" I said
"So, are you leaving already" I asked
"Yeah, I just came to get a few stuffs" he said as he showed me the small bag with him.
"You" he inquired
"I came to get a gift for a friend. I really don't even know where to go. I wouldn't like to roam about all day because I am kinda running late already" I explained.
"I can help with that, it's not like I am doing anything really. I can show you to where I think you can get really nice stuffs" Ade said
"Thanks alot" I said then followed him by the side as he led me inside.[
