I wish I lived the fairytale of Habiba and Usman’s relationship. The love they showed each other and the way they cared for each other makes me go crazy. The way they met, how they fell in love and how their lives are now is what I wish mine was. This fairytale is one that should be retold forever.
Habiba was bored one fateful Saturday with nothing to do and nowhere to go. She decided to bake. However, she didn’t have all the ingredients for her cake. She took her shower and she decided to put on something simple. Habiba always looked nice when she put on simple clothes. Thank God she looked nice on that particular day. Her sister was out with a friend that day and left the car at home so Habiba called her and told her that she was going into town with the car. Habiba drove to the biggest, busiest supermarket in Abuja; it took her a while to locate a parking spot because other cars took the free spots she saw. When she finally got a parking spot, she went in and moved directly to the baking aisle. The baking aisle always smelled good. After she got what she needed from the baking aisle, she decided to go the candy section to get some candy to decorate her cake. On her way there, she bumped into a little kid. She got scared – perhaps she’d hurt him- and she dropped everything she was holding to attend to this little boy. Lucky for her, he wasn’t hurt and instead to her surprise he was laughing and still smiling with a candy bar in his hand. She asked him if he wanted to get the candy bar and he began to nod his head to say yes. He was so cute, she picked him up and she began to play with him. Suddenly, his uncle came running into the candy aisle. The kid with Habiba was his nephew whose name is Fahd. When his uncle got close, he b...

“Please don’t go baby. I love you too much; I can’t do one whole month without you!” Usman replied. Habiba began to laugh and Usman got mad and angry. “Baby, don’t start with me!”
“I have to go. Don’t worry we are going to talk everyday on Skype! Okay, baby?” Habiba told him with a smile. You could tell he was feeling better. She hugged him really tight. When she released him, he kissed her as the sun was setting. What a perfect moment to kiss the love of your life! When they released each other to catch their breath, Usman was about to plant another kiss…
“Ayemilo, wake up! Now you are going to be late to school.” Habiba’s mother shouted as she entered her room, bringing Habiba back to reality.
Habiba was upset and mad at her mother. When her mother asked her what was wrong Habiba couldn’t explain it to her mother so she lied and said that nothing was wrong.

    Jasmine had left 1 hour early in order to start getting ready and guess who she took with her, Miranda leaving me to get ready with Wendell. We head to the dressing room and as soon as we are inside on our own, the old Wendell returns. “I told you I would find someone better than Jasmine, although I shouldn’t be saying this but Miranda is great. She has been a Victoria Secret model since 2007, she has been voted the sexiest woman alive and she is everything anyone would want.” “That’s nice Wendell,” I respond, “but Jasmine is the only one who I wish to be with.” We then got ready in silence. About 10 minutes before I was meant to go outside, Arturo came and started to comfort me that everything would be okay. “You know I have forgiven you with what happened with the Vidromek case and you have forgiven me what happened with Jasmine at the Christmas party all those years ago.” I stared at the floor but didn’t say anything, my eyes not meeting his. “But now we are grown up and I would like to give you the opportunity to be your own person. I am very happy to say that you went to Oak Ridge and now we can just hope for the best.” “Yes, Marcelo has forgiven Arturo and he thinks that it is time for Arturo and Marcelo to be friends again.” I said with a smile on my face. It was now time to go outside and walk down the aisle where the most important decision of my life would be made. “Let’s go Arturo,” I then stated and we walked outside into the beautiful

  • The Importance of Fairytales

    1181 Words  | 3 Pages

    It’s impossible for me to say I don’t know anything about fairytales, but what I do know about them, there isn’t anything I don’t love! Between the knight and shining armor, the damsel in distress and the infamous rescuing scene, you can’t help but hope to one day find your prince charming! Let’s be honest, we love to hate fairytales, they are so unbelievably unrealistic with the romance, the happy endings, the prince and princess, but we all live to have something come close to that annoyingly perfect happy ending. Between “Beauty and The Beast”, “Cinderella”, “The Little Mermaid”, and “Snow White” one thing that is continuous throughout them all is that fabulous good character and that dreadful bad character, and the suspense that keeps us wondering what obstacles they’ll have to endure to get that “fairytale ending” we’re all secretly jealous of.

  • A Knight's Tale

    1674 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Canterbury Tales begin with The Knight’s Tale; which chronicles the tragic love triangle of Palamon, Arcite and Emilye. The following tale, which is told by the Miller, is also a love triangle, and is in many ways similar to the Knight’s tale. However, the Miller’s tale sharply contrasts the Knight’s, almost parodying it. The Knight’s tale is a tragic of nobility, heritage and focuses heavily on mythology and astrology, whereas The Miller’s tale is a comedy, focusing on the common-man and his less civilized, and bawdy lifestyle. The two stories mirror one another in many ways, but are presented from completely different sides of the spectrum. When the two tales are looked at closely, it doesn’t seem to be a coincidence that they occur back-to-back to one another as there is a stark contrast between the two.

  • The Importance of Fairytales

    1612 Words  | 4 Pages

    I chose to research the genre of fairytales because the genre retold by Grimm’s caught my attention. Fairytales in modern day usually have a happy ending after the good versus evil concept. Rapunzel specifically, isn’t told in its original form.Theres much more darkness and even though happily ever after is in play, not all fairytales end that way. Fairytales have much more depth than people realize in modern day. It portrays the real struggles we face growing up. In Rapunzel, her mother gave her away and she was raised by an enchantress who locked her away. This very much explains child abandonment or a child that has been given up for adoption and the things they face growing up.Theres a connection between these fairytales and real life situations .Fairytales have a way of expressing real life situations in a way that uses a few elements that help tell the story in a way children can understand. Some of the elements include: magic, morals, royalty and love.

  • The lesson fairy tales taught me

    671 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the procedure of growing up, the fairy tales played a very important role in my life. I always think that childhood is too short for people to prepare for growing up. Even your parents can’t teach you all the things they’ve ever learned, so I have to admit that most of the life lessons I was taught by the fairy tale. And even now, I’m already an adult. And I’ve already realized what “real life” is, but to be honest I never blame the fairy tale which makes me believe how wonderful life is. Because all the lessons that fairy tales taught me still benefit me for life. And there are three fairy tales I would like to discuss about: The theme of The Little Mermaid, the character of Snow White, and the setting of Peter Pan.
