We were called down , so I picked a purple matching veil while Fatima wore a black one . We went down , and we saw two families sitting together,  and our family . We squatted and greeted everyone.  We sat down on the floor , and glued our eyes to the floor .

"Do you accept the marriage, because the last thing I want is to force you to get married" baba Abubakar asked

"Yes" we both replied , not taking our eyes up to look at them. The date for the marriage  was to be decided by the bride's family . They ate , and complimented my cooking. It was time for them to leave , and I really didn't look them in the face .

I decided to call Ya moh and said

"So it is official" I asked

"What do you mean , we are on our way to your house"

"What !!!" I shouted,  who are the ones that came that time.

"Why what happened , chill it was us I was just pranking you" he said laughing his pants off

"Bye I am not talking to you again" I said , blushing.

"Ya moh she is blushing" Fatima shouted through the phone.

"This..." I said smacking her and ending the call , we ended up having a pillow fight .

She called zayd and they chatted . I called Mufidah, and we were on the call for 1 hour . K haven't talked to Zarifa,  ever since I saw that pic . She kept calling me and I rejected,  I ended up blocking her number.
