August 7 2016

Dear diary
Can you believe my birthday is 19 good days away??! I'll be 18 and legal and responsible and I will be able to fight for my rights. Being an adult is good amma I don't want to grow old fah. I can't just imagine myself saying I'm 35 years old. It's a scary thought. But what can I do ? Nothing. That is the funny thing about life. You will want to grow up and all but when you do you will want to become a kid all over again.
Do time machines really exist? Remind me to google it later

Let's look at the bright side of things. I'm going on a date today. *squeals* My first date. And our first official date as daters (if daters is not a word then you know I like to invent my own words) Aminu❣ didn't even tell me where we are going now what will I wear? Someone will ask him something and he will say it's a surprise it's a surprise. What if someone doesn't like surprises? You like surprises so stop complaining and shut up and why is my head scholding me? Mtsewwwwwww

I know you want to know how far I have gone with my birthday planning. To be honest I haven't been concentrating on it ohh. Ever since I got the invitation cards I haven't done anything again. I'm yet to place an order for the cake. As for the dj.... What are my dear friends for? Recession recession
Dearest diary. Let me share a secret with you. When people ask why I made this party an 18 man party I tell them it's because I want to be unique and stand out. That's not totally true ohh. I want to cut cost because of this recession. Every 5 Naira is a blessing right now. Don't tell anyone I told you ohh.

Lastly I think I'm going to kill Zainab. Do you know she said one thing yesterday and disappeared? When the gist was hot. She needs an award when you think of it. The disappearer  award.

Okay bye for now.. I need to get ready for my date. I hope he doesn't take me to a Chinese restaurant sha. I don't like Chinese food at all. I will just puke. No offence to any Chinese food lover

See you later!

I just wonder where my dearest boyfriend is taking me. I don't even know what to wear.
Wherever he is taking me I'm sure it's lovely. CANNOT wait!

🔑🗝
I don't even want to sleep. I want to stay here. On this bed. And talk and stare at the ceiling. Today was great. Is great even a word for how awesome today was? I don't think so. I think I can even call it my best day in my whole life. I'm just reminiscing.....

Imagine this thing ohh Aminu said he will come by 7:30 but he came 7:00 Allah ya so shi-God saved him I got ready and prayed magrib before he came. I know he wanted to repeat the looking into each other's eyes. But I gave him shoki. Correct shoki. I just hit him and said mu tafi - et's go. I saw him frown when I said that but I totally ignored it.

Aminu drove us to some park and garden. I can't even remember the name but the place was on fire. Different spots to sit and talk with your significant other, different rides, some artistes even came to perform and then there's my favourite spot- the picnic spot for couples. Then it was dark. Oh my my!! Remind me to ask for the name later. I can't believe Aminu actually planned a picnic all by himself. Everything was home cooked and he did the cooking. He's such a good cook. (He didn't really cook anything. Don't mind me) Thank God. I'll rest small when we get married. Aminu as my husband *squealss* I CANNOT imagine. I'm already thinking too far. Slap yourself. Okay. But this boy is crazy ohh.... Who plans a picnic in the night? My boyfriend of course

"I can't believe you actually planned all this. You're so romantic" I said forcing him into a bone crushing hug.

🔑🗝

"So can I get a kiss now cherry?" Did I tell you Aminu kept on asking for a kiss till we got to the park? But I kept saying no. Oh I didn't tell you

"No habibi. I'll decide later if you deserve a kiss or not"

Well the picnic basket had all my favorites- cookies and chocolates and candy and coke and cake and ice cream and chicken and what not?

P.S- Aminu made the cake. He will make a great husband. Oye balle balle!

After everything we laid on the grass and looked at stars.

"Look! A shooting star " I said pointing to something that looked like a star. "Let's make a wish!"

He smiled at me and we both closed our eyes and made our wish.

"What did you wish for?" I asked

"What did you wish for?" He asked too

"You go first. Or let's say it together" I suggested

"To be with you forever " we said together. Aloud. JINX! And we both smiled.

It was like we were the only people existing in this world. We stared deep into each other's eyes' and kept on smiling like idiots. It was like another staring contest. My eyes were drifting to his lips when he said...

"I have something for you" Aminu said breaking the staring contest.

"Really? What's that?"

"This" he said bringing out a small box from his pocket

"A ring??!" I gasped. "But don't you think all this is..."

"No it's not a ring. It's something much better" it was a bracelet with some diamond stones and a key pendant. So beautiful.

"Oh my......."

Tashin balagan tsuntsaye!!!

"This key signifies home. And you are my home" he said and made me wear the bracelet
"Always keep it with you"

"It's so beautiful. I promise"

"And I'm falling in love with you"

I didn't even wait for him to ask for a kiss. I just leaned in.

In case you're wondering what I wore......

________________________________
I'm also wondering what She wore.
I know this chapter isn't as romantic-cy as we all expected but you just have to bear with me because like I said I'm NOT romantic at all.

I also want to dedicate this chapter to my baby Hanif 💕. I got so attached to him and now that he's not here I feel like a part of me has been removed 💔💔😩. I cannot wait to see you again. Then we can take selfies and you can say "cheese" all you want (that is if I get a power bank lol). Hanif is my baby cousin. Don't think something else

I also dedicate this this chapter to Iman, Nana, Adam, Adnan and Anisa. 💖💖I know y'all are too young to have phones and you don't know what wattpad is..... But I still dedicate this to you. Especially Nana and Adam... For fighting over me😌. It is not easy to be the best cousin

So don't mind my very long dedication.
