Chapter 22

People, friends, family, and so on. I miss my former life, I miss seeing blacks like myself, I miss rice and so on. I miss chicken, well I'm being weird right now, there's chicken in UAE (Chuckles).

"Heza please can we meet later?" I was on a call with Anwar.

"Alright where should we meet?" I said while solving an equation on the rough sheet before me.

"At El Batidor, the one close to the girls dorm" he said and I nodded with a pen in my mouth, though I know he is not here, I just like nodding.

"Alright El Batidor it is, I heard they make good pastries. They are also in Nigeria and they do online delivery too" I said.

"Wow I guess you know them better than I do" he said and I chuckled.

"I guess so" I laughed. A laugh that echoed through the room which only I myself stay in. I had to pay double because I love my privacy. I must say, I miss Taiwo, though we didn't see before I left.

"When should we meet?" I asked. I felt hungry.

"Right now" he said.
"Okay let me get ready" I said while placing my leg on the floor. I wore my slippers and took a walk to my closet and brought out a black Abaya which had sparkly stones.

"Alright be at my dorm by 2:40" I said while glancing at my clock which read 2:34. I hanged up, and began putting on my Abaya, I sprayed some perfumes on my self. I dabbed a powder on my face and glanced at the mirror, I looked beautiful.

When I was done, it was exactly 2:40. I locked the door to my room, and made my way out.
"Good Afternoon" I greeted a girl who was also coming out of her room. She smiled at me in return and made her way towards the stairs with me trailing behind her.

"Hello Anwar where are you?" I said immediately I made my way out. "Turn around" he said and I spunned around to find him staring at me with his Hands in pocket.

"You are so funny" he said.
"So shall we?, my car is over there" he said.

"I ain't that lazy, El Batidor is over there. Let's walk" I said while walking.

"Wow I thought you were a mama's girl" he said while walking along with me.

"You wish" I chuckled. "So how long have you been here?" I asked him.

"For three years" he said. "Wow" I mumbled. We stood Infront of El Batidor where the door was opened for me by a bald man.

"let's seat over there!" He pointed at a place which was closed to the front view window.

"Alright" I nodded while walking along with him. We sat on the table for two and I picked up the menu which laid on the table.

"I want butter Cake" I said while glancing through the menu "me too" Anwar said.

"Excuse me, waiter!" He called unto the waiter who walked towards us.

"Yes, Good Afternoon, how may I help you?" He said with a smile that didn't reach the eye. There was no doubt that he didn't like his job here.

"We want two butter cake, a milk shake and a dozen of doughnut and a sealed strawberry smoothie to go" he said. Wow what a foodie he was, twelve doughnut. Damn, That's allot.

"Alright sir, your order will be ready in ten minutes" the waiter said before leaving.

"Wow... A dozen of doughnut?, Damn you eat allot" I said and he let out a humorous laugher that got us weird stares.

"Hahaha... Its not mine its for my big bro. The dude's too lazy to come out" Anwar said and I nodded.

"Oh okay, I thought you had wanted to eat it all" I said while swiping through my phone.

"No not at all, my big bro has been eating like a hawk ever since we arrived school. Seriously he is sorta gotten more annoying" He said and my memory dwelt back to Tariq and how I shot me. "You are lucky you still have a big bro" I said absentmindedly.

"You don't have one?, Are you the only child?" He asked and I nodded in the negative.

"My big brother died last month" I said while dipping my hand into the Jelly beans which laid on the table. I threw it into my mouth and it tasted like Strawberry. Nice!

"Oh my God, I am sorry" he said and I smiled.

"Here's your order" the waiter came with our order and placed it on our table.

"Thanks Mr Bean" I read what was on the name tag on his uniform.

"You are welcome" he turned around and walked away.

"What a name!" Anwar laughed.

"I know right" I said while dipping my fork into the Cake.

"This is yummy" Anwar said with his mouth full and I chuckled. Normally this is supposed to disgust me, but in his case, it didn't at all. He looked cute while doing it.

After eating up our cake, we picked up the 'to go' order which Anwar had ordered for his brother and left. After settling the bill of course.

"Thanks" he paid the bills for I and himself.

"You're welcome" he said, his smile looked like that of an angel, It felt like I had seen this smile before.

He glanced at his phone and immediately told me it was a call which he immediately picked up "Hello Mama's pet" he said to the latter who was on the other side.

"Yes I got your doughnut" he said while winking at me. "Nah, I'm with that girl I told you about, wanna talk to her?" He asked and I immediately nodded my headed in the negative. What am I going to say to his big brother.

"You are so rude" he said in a chuckle.

"Whatever bye" he immediately cut the call.

"He is so rude, did you know what he said?" He asked.

"What?"
"He said I shouldn't bother him with a girl who I met at the airport. He called me a fool, he is so damn rude!" He said and I chuckled.

"Why do you call him mama's pet?" I asked.

"Because my mum loves him like allot. He is the best, infact he is so Amazing, I love him allot" he said and I smiled. "That is cute!" I commented.

"Yeah, common let's go, he says he is hungry" he said and I nodded while trailing behind him.
