Komai na features din fuskarta suna nan kamar yadda yake tuna wa da su but more matured, no longer child like but lady like. More feminine. More beautiful. More beautiful than he had ever imagined she would be.
Ya tuno da ranar da suka hadu a cikin jirgi. Surutun da ta ringa yi masa, tsokanar sa da ta ringa yi, da kuma yadda suka rabu. Ita ta riga shi fita daga jirgin a ranar dan air hostess ce ta dauko mata jakarta daga inda ta barta ta taho gurinsa, ta kuma zo suka fita tare.

Yayi mata sallama. "Assalamu alaikum" ta amsa, amma shi kansa da yake kusa da ita motsawar bakinta kawai ya gani amma baiji muryar ta ba. Ya danyi shiru yana tsoron kar ta wulakanta shi amma kuma yana son gwada sa'ar sa, ya dan leka fuskarta a hankali yace "Piya?"
Ta dakata da danna wayar da takeyi ta dago kai tana kallon sa da alamar tunani a fuskarta, lokaci daya kuma sai yaga recognition a fuskarta, and farin cikin da yaji a ransa was more than he thought.
"Malam Muhammadu dan fillo?"
Yayi dariya, dariyar da yaji ts wanke dukkan tsoronsa. Ta nuna shi da dogon yatsan ta "Washington DC" ya girgiza kai "no. Manchester" tace "yeah. Right. Manchester. What are you doing here? How are you here?" Yace "ke zan tambaya. Never thought I will ever see you again" tace "me too. It has been five years?" Yace "seven" tace "wow. How time flies.

Suka yi shiru duk su biyun, kowanne su trying not to look at the other. Sai kuma suka kalla a tare, suka hada ido, and then they smiled together.
"uhmm ...... Trouble with the car?" Ya tambaya yana nuna motar da take tsaye a gabanta. Ta bata fuska "wallahi... Ta mutu.... I don't know why. Ina tafiya kawai ta mutu. Na kira kuma an hada ni da mechanic har yanzu kuma bai zo ba" yace "why not leave the car here in yazo ba sai ya dauka ba. You shouldn't be here standing under the sun" ta daga mishi key din motar "sai yazo zai karbi key ai" ya girgiza kai "still sai yaje gida ya karba.

Uncle Ahmad will kill me today. Yace kar in fita da mota. Yace ban iya mota ba. Baya son a bani mota ni kuma so nayi in nuna masa na iya" Gidado ya mika mata hannu yace "mu ga key din" ta bashi, hoping motar lafiyar ta kalau itace dai bata iya din ba.
Ya bude ya shiga yayi ƙoƙarin tayar da ita amma sai yaji yana murda key din tayi wata irin kara. Ya fito yana kallon Safiyya yace "key starter din ta ta lalace. Maybe kinyi ta murda key din ne" ta fara bubbuga kafa a kasa "to ba ita ce taki tashi ba" yayi dariya "tuba take yi. Now call the mechanic and tell him key starter issues ne, tell him kuma zaki tafi gida yazo gida ya karbi key ɗin".
Tayi abinda yace sannan ya bude mata passenger's seat din motarsa ta shiga ta zauna shi kuma ya zagaya ya shiga seat din driver. Suna kama hanya ya lura duk ta zama uncomfortable, sai yayi kokarin yi mata hira "you look good. You look really good" ta danji kunya "thank you.

Ni ma nayi mamaki dana gane ka. Amma kai ya akayi ka gane ni?" Ya daga kafada "ina da saurin gane mutane. Besides, I have thought about you a lot within these years. Ke fa" tace "ina tuno da kai ne kawai idan na shiga jirgi na hadu da me aerophobia" suka yi dariya a tare.
Wayarta tayi kara, ta dauka. Shi kuma ya samu damar cigaba da kare mata kallo "Yaya Mukhtar na bar gurin fa. Na kira shi nace ya same ni a gida. Alright. Don't tell Uncle please. Thank you". Ta ajiye wayar tare da ajjiyar zuciya yace "I like the way you talk" ta juyo tana kallon sa tace "what?..." Ya maimaita "I like the way you talk. I am not sure if it is the way your lips moves or the sound of your voice or the body language, ban sani ba. I just like it. It is therapeutic" ta sunkuyar da idonta kasa tana murmushi, ya kara da cewa "and the way you smile too". Sai ta ja mayafin ta ta rufe fuskarta. Ya tsaya yana kallon dogayen yatsun hannunta.
Aka kira wayar sa, ya dauka direct yace "kai na fasa zuwa fa. And don't call me again". Ta bude fuskar ta tana murmushi tace "babu kyau karya alkawari fa" yace "ba alkawari nayi ba fa. Besides, there is no where I would rather be then here".
Motarsa ce tayi wata yar kara sannan ta mutu. Suka juya suka kalli juna. Yayi kokarin sake tayar da ita amma taki tashi. Safiyya ta rufe fuskarta tana dariya yayin da shi kuma ransa in yayi dubu ya baci. Ta bude fuska tace "it is official.

Maybe this is a sign that we are not meant to be together" ya bude kofa ya fita yana girgiza kai da sauri. "No. This is a sign that we will walk the path of Destiny together" ta fito itama tace "walking? Not driving" yace "I am ready to do it if you are" ta saka hannu tana kare rana tace "under the sun?" Ya zagayo gaban ta ya tsaya, jikinsa yayi blocking mata hasken rana yace "I will shield you".
Suka fara tafiya a hankali, side by side, enjoying each other's company, breathing in each other's scent, suna kuma updating juna akan abubuwan da suke faruwa a rayuwar su. A lokacin ne ya gaya mata karatu dama yaje yi Manchester, kuma ya gama degree dinsa na daya dana biyu, ya kuma yi service.

A lokacin suka kai karshen junction ɗin suka hau kan babban titi. Suka tsaya suna kallon juna yace "we did it. The path was rough, tiring and very sunny. But we arrived at the destination, together"
Kafin tayi magana mota ta tsaya a gabansu. Aka sauke glass din wani ya leko "Fiyya. There you are. Na kasa hakura shine na biyo bayan ki.
