In this English translation, the story moves from the family breakfast table to school life, friendship, future plans, and the coming journey back to Nigeria, where hidden emotions may become even harder to control.
Dady Stops Fifi
Their father came out while speaking on the phone. His eyes immediately fell on the bottle of guava shake in Fifi’s hand. Cold vapor was rising from it, showing clearly that it was very chilled.
He ended the call and moved toward them. He looked at the bottle and saw that it even contained ice. Then he stretched out his hand, took it from her, and turned to Hameeda.
“Hameeda, you are watching her and you still want to let her drink something this cold? Have you forgotten who she is?”
Hameeda looked at him, then looked at Fifi.
“Dady, I was going to stop her before you came.”
He looked at Fifi again, then returned his eyes to Hameeda.
“You should always be careful, Hameeda. None of us wants even the smallest illness to touch Mufeeda. Okay?”
He handed the bottle back carefully while Fifi made a pitiful face.
“Dady, I am late. I cannot wait for breakfast.”
He pointed toward the dining table.
“Even if it is an exam, my dear, I will never allow you to leave without eating something as long as I am around.”
Breakfast At The Table
They all sat at the dining table. Hameeda, who had taken the drink to the fridge, also returned and sat down.
Only then did they greet their father properly, and he answered them with care.
As they ate, he said:
“Ummy called me. Hajja has started another issue again. She insists that you must be brought back before her. She says she wants to see your marriage before she dies.”
Fifi laughed and looked at Hameeda.
“Hamee, did you hear? I am the one Hajja wants to see married. Tell her my mind when you people speak on the phone. Dady, if I call her now, even Ummy will start crying that she wants to see me. But one thing is certain: I am not going to get married in Nigeria. I do not think I will find my choice there.”
Their father smiled.
“My dear, first go to Nigeria. When you get there, you will know that all your choices are there, not just one choice. And if you are talking about lifestyle, go first, then come and tell me your experience. Khalid will also be around.”
Fifi turned to Hameeda and laughed.
“Hameeda, prepare yourself. I cannot go without you. I think it is time for us to go and stay with Ammy, right?”
Hameeda pushed some chips into her mouth even though she could not taste anything. She nodded and forced a smile.
The way their father discussed everything with Fifi with so much attention hurt her deeply. He only threw a few words toward Hameeda once in a while.
With effort, Hameeda asked:
“Dady, does Ammy’s son include this Khalid?”
He looked at her with care.
“Hameeda, you mean you still do not know Ammy’s children? I thought you used to ask about them whenever you spoke to her.”
“Dady, we do not really know them.”
He explained:
“Her first son was born before I married your mother. His name is Muhammad Saheeb Makarfi. He is not in Nigeria now; he lives in South Africa. After him is Khalid Makarfi. Those are her only sons. Truly, you should know your relatives. That is even one of the reasons you must return to Ummy. There are many things like this that you need to understand.”
Fifi Leaves For School
Fifi continued eating quickly while listening to the conversation. She said nothing because she was watching the time carefully.
As soon as she dropped her fork, she quickly pulled her bag closer and stood up.
“Dady, please, can I go now?”
He widened his eyes at her playfully.
She pouted and said:
“Please.”
He bent his head slightly and looked at her as if thinking about something.
Then he said:
“Not until you give me a hug.”
With a small laugh, she came to him and hugged him tightly.
He smiled with deep love and care.
“Be careful, okay?”
“Okay. Bye, Dad. I love you.”
He did not answer with words, but the look of love in his eyes followed her clearly.
She took one or two steps, then suddenly turned as if something had pulled her back.
“Hamee?”
Hameeda raised her head and gave her a soft smile that carried the pain hidden deep in her heart.
Fifi said:
“I am going to school. Bye.”
Hameeda nodded and returned the smile, but it was wider than it was real.
Before Hameeda could turn back to the dining table, she saw their father also preparing to stand.
Surprised, she asked:
“Dady, are you full already?”
He replied:
“Yes, dear. I only sat down so that Mufeeda would eat. Continue eating. I am going upstairs.”
Hameeda forced another smile.
“Okay.”
He left and climbed upstairs.
Hameeda sat still, following him with her eyes.
Hameeda’s Pain
If there was anything that hurt Hameeda deeply, it was this kind of moment.
No one truly had time for her.
She could not even remember the last time her father sat at the dining table specially because of her alone.
She closed her eyes and released a heavy sigh.
“Oh Allah,” she whispered inside her heart, “it is always about Fifi. As for me, no one even notices.”
She stood up and left the dining area. Her heart felt heavy as she returned to her room.
Fifi Arrives Late For Practical
A classic Bentley dropped Fifi at the entrance of her school. Without paying attention to anyone, she hurried to the fifth floor where their practical class was taking place.
She was already thirty minutes late.
But because everyone knew Fifi and her dramatic nature, her lateness did not surprise them much.
When she opened the classroom door, she entered with her usual playful style.
“Hey, guys.”
Almost everyone in the class turned to look at her.
Seeing all eyes on her, she covered her face in a funny way and placed her hand over her mouth.
Her friend Maheeda threw her a warning look and signaled for her to keep quiet.
Fifi made a childish face, looked at the lecturer and the students, and said:
“Sorry.”
Then she walked carefully to find a place.
The lab coordinator sighed.
“And that was Mufeeda Mande. Now, let us get back to business.”
Hearing that, laughter escaped from Fifi. Everyone’s attention returned to her again.
Before the lecturer could say anything, she stood up and held her ears like an innocent child.
“Sorry, sir.”
The lecturer shook his head, not knowing what to say. He could not understand why Fifi refused to take life seriously.
He gave her a warning look and said:
“Sit down.”
As soon as she sat, she burst into laughter, and the whole class joined her.
She apologized again, and with difficulty, the practical session continued peacefully.
Fifi Mande
Khadija Mufeeda Nuhu Mande was the most brilliant student in her set. Yet she lived as if the world did not weigh heavily on her shoulders.
She never made anything in life too serious.
Anything that brought joy, laughter, comfort, or entertainment mattered to her. She had a great sense of humor and knew how to relate with people. Because of that, almost every student in the school knew her.
Fifi Mande was the nickname everyone used for her since their first year.
The name spread everywhere.
If someone did not know her for one thing, they would surely know her for another. Wherever there was fun, relaxation, or enjoyment, Fifi was likely to be found there.
Fifi And Maheeda
After the practical class, Fifi ran after Maheeda, who was walking angrily and muttering to herself.
“Mahee… Maheeda, please now.”
Maheeda turned angrily.
“Please, madam, stop for me. How many times did I call your phone?”
Fifi answered:
“Eight times.”
Maheeda made an angry face.
“And?”
Fifi moved closer, held her cheeks, and smiled.
“And Dady caused everything, wallahi. Do you know something, Mahee?”
Maheeda, who loved hearing gossip, quickly asked:
“What?”
Fifi clicked her tongue playfully.
“Nothing. If you want to hear it, follow me.”
She walked ahead with her usual dramatic steps.
Maheeda hissed and followed her.
The Coffee Stall Plan
Fifi went to a beautiful student coffee stall and ordered two cups of the most expensive and richly mixed tea.
They sat together, drinking and chatting.
Within every ten minutes, someone would interrupt them with greetings or conversation because almost everyone loved greeting Fifi. Wherever she sat, people naturally wanted to speak with her in one way or another.
Fifi released a relaxed breath and said to Maheeda:
“Girlfriend, how many days remain before we finish this school?”
Maheeda rolled her eyes and sipped her tea carelessly.
“One month, I guess. Now tell me what you wanted to say. You know I am eager, and you keep wasting time.”
Fifi laughed.
“Calm down. I already know your problem. Queen of gossip.”
Maheeda replied:
“Whatever.”
Fifi moved closer as if she wanted to whisper a secret.
“Maheeda, prepare yourself. This time, I want us to do something no one has ever done on graduation day.”
Maheeda asked:
“Like what?”
Fifi said:
“I mean a party. I want to organize a big get-together for myself and all my friends. But before that, I want us to go out and enjoy ourselves. I want the remaining part of my college life to become something I will never forget.”
Maheeda said:
“And school?”
Fifi waved it away.
“Forget that. We will catch up. Mahee, I am serious. I want to go wild.”
Maheeda looked at her.
“You are always wild.”
Fifi leaned back and breathed deeply.
“This time, I mean the wildest.”
Maheeda became curious.
“What exactly are you planning for us?”
Fifi became quiet until she finished her tea. Then she said:
“A lot. Starting from today.”
Maheeda looked at her again.
“And Hameeda?”
Fifi shrugged slightly.
“Wallahi, I do not know if she will agree, but I will try to talk to her.”
Maheeda said:
“I hope she agrees.”
They finished their small conversation and separated, each heading home.
Plans Before Leaving Germany
Before the week ended, Fifi, her friend Maheeda, Meena, the daughter of Dr. Fatima Yonas whom she treated like a sister, and the rest of her group of friends gathered and began making different plans for how they would enjoy the remaining days of school.
Ameed, who was a doctor, did not always have enough time for himself. But because he loved Fifi deeply, he still promised to give her his attention during those days.
Fifi knew they would soon leave Germany for Nigeria, maybe forever. But she kept that thought inside her heart and did not show her friends.
Only her twin sister Hameeda, their father, Dr. Fatima, Ameed, and Meena knew about the journey.
Even though she had no choice in the matter, the thought disturbed her. In her heart, leaving Germany felt like it might be her final goodbye forever. Who knew? Maybe she would even die in Nigeria.
Because of that, from that moment onward, she tried to do things that would make people happy, things they would never forget.
The Girls’ Outing
For their first outing, Fifi arranged for five girls to go out together. The group included Fifi, Maheeda, Meena, Hameeda, and two other beautiful girls named Yesmin and Arsala.
Each girl drove a different colored sports car.
They arrived at a huge resort, ready for an all-girls day out. No man was invited.
Yesmin was the daughter of a Turkish tycoon, while Arsala was Brazilian. All of them came from comfortable and wealthy backgrounds.
From the way they dressed, anyone could tell they were very confident in their beauty, body shape, fashion sense, grooming, wealth, and modern lifestyle.
They wore stylish jeans, bright tops, expensive sunglasses, and carried luxury bags. Their phones alone looked expensive enough to announce their class.
Still, they made an effort to cover their heads with mufflers, small veils, or hoodies in a way that showed they were Muslim girls.
Each of them dressed beautifully and confidently.
Except Hameeda.
Hameeda wore an Egyptian jalabiya with a pure red veil wrapped properly around her head. Compared to the others, she looked like someone coming out of a mosque.
Earlier at home, she had dressed beautifully like the others, but when she came out, their father ordered her to go and change her clothes.
She did not argue. She obeyed him.
But then she saw Mufeeda come out dressed freely, and their father said nothing to her.
Of course, Hameeda knew why.
He did not want to upset Fifi.
Hameeda Feels The Difference Again
The difference between how she and Fifi were treated followed Hameeda everywhere.
At breakfast, their father sat only to make sure Fifi ate.
At home, he corrected Hameeda quickly, but avoided anything that might upset Fifi.
When Fifi dressed freely, no one complained much because they feared hurting her feelings.
But when Hameeda tried the same thing, she was corrected immediately.
To everyone else, it looked like protection.
To Hameeda, it felt like rejection.
She was always expected to understand.
She was always expected to be mature.
She was always expected to endure.
Fifi, on the other hand, was allowed to enjoy, laugh, play, and make mistakes because her health was delicate.
That was the pain Hameeda carried quietly.
Fifi’s Fear Behind Her Joy
Although Fifi appeared carefree, her heart was not completely free from fear.
She enjoyed life because she believed her time in the world might be short. Her weak heart had taught her that life could end suddenly. So she laughed loudly, made friends easily, loved people openly, and refused to keep grudges.
She wanted her friends to remember her with happiness.
She wanted her school days to end with joy.
She wanted the people around her to smile whenever they remembered her name.
But beneath the jokes and outings, she knew the truth: leaving Germany for Nigeria could change everything.
Her life.
Her health.
Her friendships.
Her future.
And maybe even her relationship with Hameeda.
