Innalillahi wa innailai hi raji un!!
No this can't be happening, no they are lying, no please.
"Ya Abba they are lying right" I shook my head repeatedly, they are surely lying or am hallucinating you or maybe dreaming, somebody should please pinch me,or punch me it will be better.
"Am really sorry,but he's gone, forever, no coming back, he only needs your prayers" I collapsed on the floor, fighting between light and darkness, my headaches badly, my chest is about to bust, I heard ya Abba calling my name but it was too late darkness won over light for the first time in forever.
***********
"Nana wake up, you can do it, for your family for us please" again fighting between light and darkness, its very hard for me to open up to the light, I think the darkness is better again darkness won.

"Nana please you can do it please Nana it's been a week get over with it please" I know this voice, ammi
"Baba!!!!!" That was the first that came out of my mouth I have been holding this name for lyk for ever. Opening my eyes I was welcomed with a purple and ash wall, of course am in my room. Last time I checked I was in the parlour.
Everything that happened came back crashing in my brain, 'shikkenan ba zama marainiya' my baba is gone, the pillar of my life,who shows me how life is, who helped me through a lot , who understands me more, who never judges me, who helped me through lotss of things, my baba.
"Nana stop worrying yourself please" that came out harshly
"What do you mean by 'stop worrying yourself please' eh" I quoted
"My father,my everything is gone, who will do the things he usually does, who will understand me lyk he does, he will take me to school when I finish throwing a tantrum about not wanting to go and he will save me from the teachers masifa".
" we will"ya moha said
"Leave please" I kicked them out of my room and close it
May your soul rest in peace baba.
