Her mistake- Final art

Severally, Aisha's mum called her daughter to tell her about her visit to her school, there was no response. Aisha had gone for the weekend with the hope that her mother will not find out.


Nemesis caught up wit her the day her mother came without informing her. She had planned her activities for the weekend.
" my mum will never find out, I am so good at this game." She said jumping up.
Her mum arrived at her school very early Sunday morning with lot of foods and provisions for her daughter.
" Good morning ma! " she greeted the potter on duty with a smile. " Good morning ma, how may I help you please".
" I came to see my daughter; Aisha Ahmed. She is light in complexion. You should know her ma."
The potter thought for a moment and said;"Oh! I know her. She isn't in for now. She said she was going home to visit. You supposed to come with her right?"
Her mum was confused , she quietly walked away without further questions.
She waited for her till afternoon. She was about to enter the car, she looked from a distance and saw her daughter dragging her box with four of her friends.
Unfortunately for her, her mother had already gathered every information she needed.
" Aisha! Aisha! Come here. Where are you coming from and who are these girls." Aisha was silent, she was busy chewing her gum , making all kinds of sound with it.
" Ebgami oo! What has come over you? You have changed. Look at your hair, your clothes and shoes, they seem so expensive. What has come over you. " Tears started dropping down her cheeks.
" Look mum, just be cool. I am okay. I just have to do the right thing to get money . I am big enough to take care of my self."
Her mum was perplexed and couldn't say further than to drop the foods and left.
Few months later, Aisha came back home and found her mum on the bed shivering. Her mum never told her about her sickness because Aisha was careless about everything.
"mum! What's happening to you? You are very cold and your body is pale. Oh my God! What do I do now? I am confused. "
She ran to her neighbour's house for assistance. When he came, he looked at her and told Aisha; " just give up my friend, your mum will not survive this" He said shaking his head.
" Are you a doctor or what? Just assist me yo carry my mum to the hospital. Their is a chance that she will survive".
Her mother was admitted to the hospital, before the doctor could run tests on her, she gave up the struggle.
" I am sorry, she didn't make it". The doctor said , tapping Aisha on her shoulder to bear the loss.
It was like a dream for Aisha .She slapped herself so hard to wake up from her dream.
" I am sure I am dreaming. This can't be true. My mum can't leave me just like that." She walked into the room, where her mum was laid, she was talking to her and crying profusely; dragging and tapping her mum to talk to her. The nurses came and pulled her up and away from her mum's body.
" No! Don't cover my mother.She is not dead. She is still alive. Don't worry she will soon wake up."
It was like a dream to Aisha but now she is facing life itself.The death of her mum took her by surprise. She never knew her mum would one day leave her helplessly and hopelessly. She regretted leaving a false life , a life that took her mother away from her. She wished she could turn back the hands of time and spend more time with her mum; cherish every moment with her.
Nothing made sense to Aisha without her mother, not even life itself. Aisha isn't the same ever since she lost her mother. She still regrets her actions and promiscuity.
