Chapter 9

Noor realized she was lying down on her bed with a woman in a white doctor's suit and a stethoscope around the woman's neck beside her .

Noor turned her forehead and felt the bandage wrapped around her forehead .

'Great ! Now I'm looking like a freak ' Noor mumbled under her breath and sat down on the bed .

Zainab , Munir and Aminu were all seated on the large comfy cushion in Noor's room .

'Noor !' Zainab screamed out and hugged her daughter .

'Seriously Noor , stop associating yourself with those thugs , now see what they've done to you ' Zainab said and released Noor from the bone cracking hug.

'Mama, I've told her this countless time before, but our precious girl here will never listen ' Munir said and came to stand beside the bed .

         'Which thugs ? ' Aminu asked and that's when Zainab and Munir regretted saying that infront of Aminu that knows nothing about the thugs .

     'Baba..I swear I want associating myself with any of them ..they just bump into my way anytime they see me ' Noor said .

'Noor ..some gangs have been disturbing you and this is the first time I'm hearing about it ..Noor..I'm your father for goodness sake ..' Aminu said clearly showing his concern .

'I'm sorry Baba ..I really wanted to tell you but you're always not at home ' Noor answered apologetically.

'It's okay ..I'll see what I can do to stop this ' Aminu replied and the place went quite because nobody knows what he's going to do now .

The next day , Noor stayed at home sit to her health condition.

She was on the large couch in the parlor with Munir and Zainab beside her when Aminu joined them .

Noor and Munir greeted respectfully and their father answered them .

Noor and Munir stood up from the couch and sat on the next one to let Aminu sit with Zainab.

'I've thought about it throughout yesterday night and the best option is for you to leave Kano Noor ' Aminu said and Noor's eyes bulged out , she didn't want to leave her hometown because of some goons.

' I'll take you to school in Lagos , I've a very good friend there so you can be staying in his house as you go to your new University' Aminu explained.

Noor didn't reject her father's decision rather she just asked 'when am I going Baba ? '

Tomorrow will be good ' Aminu replied and went upstairs.

Noor noticed something very unusual , she saw a drop of tears sliding down Munir's cheek but he quickly cleaned it with his thumb .

'Munir .. Are you crying ? ' Noor asked and the fact that he didn't reply her answered her question. Noor bursted into a mysterious laugh .

Munir sniffled and said 'it's not funny ..'

'I will be calling you everyday ' Noor said and Munir replied 'promise ? '

'Of course! ' Noor answered
