For granted

YOU'RE MY ONE IN A MILLION

In the land of dreams, you are my reality
In the world of whispers, you're my melody
In the vast ocean, you're my guiding wave
In life's great puzzle, you're the piece I crave.

In the garden of time, you're my forever bloom
In the darkest night, you're my silver moon
You're the sunrise that paints my skies
The warmth of love shining in your eyes.

In the book of fate, you're my perfect line
In the taste of joy, you're the sweetest honey
You're the rhythm in my heart’s own song
The place where I have always belonged.

Kabir stood up and entered his room without saying a word. He lay down on his bed for a few minutes, then got up and took a bath. Afterward, he came out of the bathroom and approached his clothes cupboard. His phone started ringing; he turned and took the phone, seeing Rilwan's contact. He dropped the phone without answering. Rilwan called again; Kabir then picked up.

"Yane Abokina?" Kabir said.

"Normal," Rilwan replied.

"Ina fitowa yanzu," Kabir said.

"Okay, saika fito," Rilwan responded.

Kabir dressed and came out, finding his father, Malam Abu, in the parlor.

"Kai, where are you going?" Malam Abu asked.

"I'm going to Rilwan's shop," Kabir replied.

"Okay, Kai haka zuciyarka zai mutu bazaka nemi abunyi ba ko, remember that life is unpredictable," Malam Abu cautioned. "I can pass away anytime, and when I do, you'll realize who truly provides for you. Don't take my generosity for granted."

Kabir kept quiet and went out without saying another word. Approaching his car, frustration simmered within him like a boiling cauldron. Mai Gadi opened the gate, and Kabir drove out, leaving the tension behind, his car disappearing into the horizon like a fleeing bird.
