“Feenerh, come on, get up, or you'll be late.”

“Ohhh, Mommy, please let me sleep, even if it's just for a minute.”

“Feenerh, the sun is out, and you know your dad's nature.”

“Mom, the sun is out, I know that, but I'm not a plant, you know? I don't need to photosynthesize. And leave Dad out of this—you know he also doesn’t like me stressing myself.”

“Whatever, Feenerh. Just get up.”

“Okay, Mom, I'm up.”

That’s the usual morning argument between Feenerh and her mom.

Feenerh’s real name is Safiya Zubair. She is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Zubair. Her father is a wealthy businessman who takes his work seriously, while her mother is soft-hearted, very kind, and loves her daughter deeply.

Feenerh is a very beautiful girl with an ebony complexion and is highly educated because her parents prioritize her studies. She completed her primary and secondary education in Lafia, where they live in G.R.A. She graduated with excellent results and is currently in her first year at the Federal University in Lafia.

“Feenerh, I said get up!”

Feenerh reluctantly got up, went into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, took a bath, and started getting ready for school while her mother walked away, saying, “This is how you'll be going to school, with this sleeping sickness of yours.”

After getting dressed, she came out for breakfast. The maid had already prepared omelet, toasted bread, and tea for her. After finishing her meal, she left, and their driver took her to school.

As soon as she entered the auditorium, her friend Khadija hugged her, saying, “My dear friend, as usual, you're late.”

“Khadija, leave me alone. My excessive sleeping worries me.”

“Anyway, MTH111 is about to start, so let’s find a seat.”

“Oh my God, Khadija, you know how much I hate math.”

“I know, but you have no choice. You have to take it for two semesters.”

“Alright, may God help us.”

“Ameen.”

“By the way, Khadija, after this lecture, come with me to see Technologist Musa.”

“Hmmm, Feenerh, you're always about this Musa of yours.”

“Yes! You know I really like him, but I’m sure he doesn’t like me.”

“Come on, Feenerh, who could resist someone as beautiful as you?”

“Musa.”

Khadija laughed and said, “Then, Feenerh, leave him alone if he’s not interested in you.”

“You know I can’t do that because he's the first man who has ever captured my heart. I can’t let him go.”

While they were talking, their lecturer entered, and they ended the conversation.
