" you really need to answer my question " I said to Aisha. We went to kaduna state university to check the first list which was out and bad luck to us, our name isn't among the list.

So ,we decided to stroll around the school and we find the school IT park where students go and read or to have time for themselves . We were sitting at the IT park and I've been asking Aisha this question which she pretend as if she hadn't heard what I said.

" and what is the question again" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

" I said ,is ya kabiru the guy you have feelings for? cos I've noticed how you keep smiling and blushing whenever we were together and Aisha I know you, so don't even think of lying to me" I asked with my own straight face.

" I know you said with time you'd tell me, but I can't help it. I've notice how you behave around him. So now tell me if he is the one"

She sighed through her lips and raised her head up to look at me with a defeated face.

" you're right, I have a very big crush on your brother ,no let me refrase that, and I don't think he is even interested in me cos I know he only sees me as a sister and I'm not even sure anymore "she sighed

" I think he still love his ex girlfriend and I'm not a match for him, cos Hamidah, his ex girlfriend is beautiful and they look perfect together when they were dating" she finished with a solemn expression

I moved closer to her and hold her hands in mine.

" hey, come on don't look sad" I said

"don't ever say you're not a match for him cos you are. My brother might think he sees you as a sister but it's not true. You remember when we went to that new park (, you remember how he was looking and smiling at you and how he was happy that day. Since the break up .

"he has been feeling down but he has never shown it to anybody, he act as if he has moved on but that not true he hasn't and when we went to the park you can see how he was happy. " I explained and Aisha was giving me a confused look.

" what I'm trying to say is that , on that day in the park, I can see it in his face that he is trying to move on and I saw how he was looking at you when you're not looking. He likes you aisha"

" The only thing he need right now is to give him time to find it out himself. My brother also have feelings for you, even if it is a little feeling I know that you two would end up together. It will surely happen. Just give him time, ya kabiru likes you but he's only confused if it's a brotherly like or lover like" I smiled at her as I said this.

" so be patient and I promise to bring you two together " I promised

" I promise you ,you guys would be the most perfect couple I've ever seen so cheer up and leave the rest to me,ok" I said with a nod while Aisha nod with a blush on her cheek. This girl has fallen too deep, She always love with all her mind .

" let's forget about me, so tell me about Faisal are you still together or not" said Aisha with a smile.

" well, I don't even know if we were dating or not cos he had been busy with school you know,. The truth is, I don't think I have feelings for him, I don't feel the spark when ever we talk or when his name is been called. I don't think we are meant to be so that's why I've made up my mind to breakup with him" I explained to Aisha.

She only nod her head at me " I think it's for the best and I want to see you happy at least with someone you love and who also love you back and I promise to always support you in what ever decision you made "

Aisha always know what to say to cheer me up and that is why we will always be like sisters even if we were born by different parents.

The bond we share is very strong.

" since we are true with our heart to heart talk we should head home " teased Aisha and I laughed at that. We both got up and left.

*****

" hey , you don't need to look sad cos second list will also be out and I believe that your name be in it so stop worrying " that was ya kabiru.

After our talk in the University with Aisha we both went to our various house and I told my family about our name not in the list. That was why my brother is trying to cheer me up.

" I pray so" said I.

" so tell me what you guys did next when you went to the school cos I know you. I know you went in and every corner of that school" said ya kabiru teased.

I look up with a surprise face. I wonder how he knew we stroll around the school.

He saw my surprised face and said " don't worry it was just a guess or have you forgotten that I can read you like an open book"

" whatever, well the University is OK. I mean, from what I've heard the school has qualified lecturers and the building and lecture hall are standard. What more can I ask for since the important things are OK. I will be going to school from home since it's more closer " I explained while he nodded his head.

" yes that's true" he said.

" so how is school life fairing for you" I asked him.

It has been long since we talk about his school since he is always busy. When ever he closed from school he also goes to work at a government company since he has his OND certificate. He used it to get the work and now he is furthering his education. He is doing his HND which he will finished this year.

" well, school is good and everything is OK. " he said

Before I forget I wanted asking him about aisha.

" so, how do you feel being single ." I asked

He smiled and shake his head at me

" well I'm still recovering from the break up and I just want to have time for myself " he explained while I nodded my head in understanding.

" I wanted asking you something " he nodded his head at me to go on and ask

" you see, their is this guy Aisha has feelings for and he just got out of a broken relationship with his ex so she don't know whether to confess her feeling to him or not. You know Aisha, she don't know how to tell this guy that she love. So since you are my brother and you have experience, in this kind of things, please my friend needed advice what do you think she should do" I asked. This is a great opportunity to see if he would be jealous or not.

The look on his face was priceless.

" wh-at do you me-an Aisha love some-one" he stuttered

" yes, she is in love with someone and doesn't know how to tell him so that is why I'm asking you to give me some advice" I asked with a serious face.

My brother was seriously jealous and I know he is already planning the guys death in his mind. I internally fist bump the air.

Mission one- complete.

Now let move to mission two

" tell me what you think, why are you quiet all of a sudden " I said to him.

" I mean, what can I say,I can only tell her to let the guy notice her first in a sense that she become his friend and also pray over it. It's not advisable for her to confess to him first cos some guys of now don't respect those kind of girls. Let him ask her out first if he likes her"He said but I can still see how he kept clenching his jaw and how mad he looked.

" OK thanks, I would make sure i tell her exactly what you said " I said with a smile lingering on my lips. He nodded his head and excused himself.

Immediately he left I fist bump the air.

Mission accomplished.
