Deedaaaaattt!!! A young chubby fair little girl shouted.
Deedat came rushing to where she was standing panicking.Amatullah what happened? He asked Amatullah who was crying her eyes out.


It's...he..it's.... she stammered.


Amma Na what happened? The little boy asked again obviously really worried.who touched the love of his life, his baby, his one and only Amatullah? He thought to himself.


When she didn't say anything but sobbing and crying really hard, he held her right hand in his and slowly wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks with his left hand and hug her.


It's alright, it's ok my baby amma( he's the only one that called her amma), he said Patting her back slowly to comfort her.
She finally gave up and stopped crying.


Now tell me, what happened? You know I don't want to see you cry.he asked her braking the hug. The little girl's face was already wrecked and her eyes are now red.he couldn't bare seeing her like that so he stopped looking at her face but rather, looked down to his feet.


That black boy from that house came and snatched my slush and ran away.Amatullah said pointing at a black gate opposite them.


Anger suddenly flash on deedat's face, the small boy clinched his fist and unclench it, Mus'ab? He asked her and she nodded indicating yes.


Get inside the house and wash your face, I will tell daddy to buy you another slush later, ok? She nodded.
Now go inside my baby.he flashed her a smile trying hard not to cry in front of her, he hates seeing her cry and he doesn't want her to see him cry because she couldn't help but cry also.


Amatullah nodded again and smile at her love and walked towards their front door while the young boy let the tears that he was holding to roll down.he hate seeing her hurt, it makes him cry.


Deedat finished crying and walked directly to the house that Amatullah showed him, he quietly knocked at the front door, after few seconds, Mus'ab's mother opened the door.


Hey! Deedat how are you? She asked the small boy smiling widely at him.
Good afternoon ma..he greeted her his head facing down.


Come in..she gestured him to come in.
No ma I was just looking for Mus'ab I haven't seen him since morning.he blurted out faking a smile.


Ohhh right? Let me call him for you..Mus'ab! Mus'ab!...she shouted out.


Yes mummy..he answered coming towards where she was standing.


Deedat is looking for you darling..she said smiling at her son.


Hy! deedat..he said smiling at deedat
Hy! Mus'ab..he replied and gave him a high five.
I was just thinking if we could go to our house and play,Abba bought a new bike for me..... deedat said faking an evil smile to Mus'ab.


Yayyyy...I'll go, mummy please can I go ? Please, please, please... Mus'ab blurted out jumping up and down.


Yes dare, you can go but come back early so you can meet your dad he's coming back anytime soon...his mum said.


Thank you..he shouted out and held deedat's hand and walked to their house.


Where is the bike deedat? Mus'ab asked, deedat didn't spare him a glare he just continued dragging him.


Deedat where are you taking me to? Mus'ab ask really worried.
Please tell me deedat..he began to sob.


You wanna see the bike huh? Just keep your mouth shut and follow me, you'll see the bike..deedat replied to the poor scary boy and flash him an evil smile.


Deedat took Mus'ab to their garden, they entered their generator's room and he locked the room. The room is so dark and scary,they can hardly see each other.


Deedat this room is too dark, please let me go out, I don't want to ride the bike again..Mus'ab said with a shaky voice.


Seriously boy? Since you don't wanna ride the bike I'll do it, now bend down...deedat ordered.


W..wha..what? Mus'ab stammered.


You heard me right... be like a dog.. now..Deedat shouted.
What did I do to you deedat? Please I'm sorry I won't do it again, please let me go to my mummy...Mus'ab said sobbing.


You heard me Mus'ab..deedat shouted again and slap the hell out of Mus'ab's face.


Mus'ab screamed and held his cheeks with his hand.
If you dare open your mouth again you wouldn't like it, now obey before complain.deedat said.


Mus'ab did as deedat said and deedat claimed on top of him..move!!!! Deedat shouted.


Mus'ab started moving with deedat on his back trying hard not to utter anything but he couldn't hold the tears.


I know how to bully people more than you boy, even if you'll bully anyone, don't you dare do that to Amatullah, don't ever touch Amatullah again, if you touch Amatullah it's like you touch me, bare that in your mind. He finished and slapped his ass hard.


I'm sorry deedat, I won't touch her again, I promise you, the slush is inside mummy's fridge, I'll go get It for you now, I promise... Mus'ab cried out.


I don't need it idiot, go drink it all.. he shouted and gave him another hot slap.
He shouted which made deedat to hit him more. Deedat didn't spare him until he saw blood on his face, mouth, nose... the little boy cried in pain.


Deedat made him to sit inside the room, he went out and came back with a first aid box. He sat opposite him and clean each and every blood on his face, he patted away all the dust on his clothe, he made him wash his face and his hands.


Now I want to tell you this, if you get home, don't you dare tell your mum about this thing that just happened, if you do then I'll repeat myself, I'll do more that I've done to you now, I'll make sure I brake your hands and your legs so that you won't walk again..


Noooooo..please I promise you, I won't tell her anything, I won't say anything to her...Mus'ab cut him off with a shaky voice.


Good boy..he patted his shoulder and flash him an evil smile.tell your mum you fell down on the ground when you were riding my bike..deedat said.


The poor boy nodded and deedat shooed him away.


Deedat.....Amatullah whispered  smiling widely at him when he entered the living room..come sit here..she patted a space on the couch where she was sitting.


Deedat I've been looking for you since, where have you been? Abba ( deedat's father) asked him.

Uhmmm...what was that ? Tina mun de..abba said.

They all started laughing at the silly boy....deedat you are just 12 years fa and she's 8...and he got angry.

Ok, thank you..Maryam( mamy)(Amatullah's mother) tell afreen and Jamal so that they should be set. Daddy said and smiled at his wife.


Deedat couldn't help the tears so he quickly excused himself and went to his room, Amatullah stood up quietly and followed him..


Daddy, abba, mama, Mammy all laughed at their lovey dovey children.


Deedat why are you crying..Amatullah asked deedat who was laying on his bed with his hands on his face.

He quickly hugged her, I'm not crying amma please don't cry.. he broke the hug... you see my face, I'm not crying..he said while cleaning his tears with his palm and faking a smile.


She smiled and he wipe away her tears with his palm..
I don't want you to go and leave me alone..he said and pouted.

Deedat nodded and smile helplessly.


She wrapped her small arms around his neck..



He hugged her too and they stayed like that for only god knows..

He smiled and shook his head...he walked towards them and engulfed them in a tight hug..(he's 15 years old)

Yes!yes!yes!yes they started jumping up and down..that means I'll be seeing my amma anytime I want, I don't have to go to kaduna..deedat said which makes Jamal laugh very hard, while amatullah just nodded and smiled.
