Manal's POV"Manal" mama called. "Na'am." I answered. "Sauka kasa yanzu."(come downstairs now). She said. I sighed and answered "tohm."(okay).
I came downstairs and found mama close to the dining table. I knew then that she wanted to send me on an errand, I wasn't ready for one so I tried blackmailing her by hugging her.
"Na San abinda kike so kiyi, ge ki pare mini maggi."(I know what your trying to do, go and peel maggi for me). She said. I sighed and headed on to the kitchen.
I went to the kitchen and started peeling the maggi, when Abdullah came in and started annoying me. I don't know what's wrong with this boy. "Kiyi sauri ki gama aiki, abin da na ke biyan ki wa kenan?"(be fast and finish your work, is that what I'm paying you for) he said.
He's so annoying. After I was done, I told mama I'm done with my work and she nodded and started cooking. I went upstairs to my room and locked the door so nobody would disturb me. I put my AirPods on so when someone calls me I won't hear them.
I played a song on my phone and started scrolling through social media. I felt sleepy after sometime, so I removed my AirPods and started sleeping. My daily job 'sleeping'
I woke up due to someone banging my door continuously. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and went over to take a peek. I saw hafsah there. God this my sister, I wonder what she wants.
"Mummy is calling everybody to come and eat." She muttered. "I'll be down in a sec." I said and banged the door on her face. I went into my walk-in-closet and took my veil and tied it roughly around my head closing my revealed hair.
I stepped downstairs and saw everyone on the dining table. I walked there like a lifeless human being and sat down close to Abdullah. "Ke er auta, your always late to eat." (My princess) baba said. Toh baba I was sleeping. I muttered. "Daman what do you do if not sleep all day." Abdullah muttered. And I didn't hesitate to hit him on the arm.
He's so annoying. We were all done eating and baba started talking about Abdullah's wedding that was coming up soon. Anytime we talk about his wedding, he gets shy and walks out of the room. And I always laugh at him every single time.
We were in the living room and me and hafsah were talking about Abdullah's wedding. "Ke gaskiya amarya shi kyakyawa che."(sincerely his bride is a beautiful lady). I muttered. "Wallahi fah, I wonder what events they would do." Hafsah agreed with me.
Baba and mama went out to go do some stuff only god knows what. And me and Zahra suprisingly were still talking about Abdullah's wedding. We were looking at some styles on Instagram on stylesseries on Instagram and we found beautiful ones.
We also looked for henna artists. We found henna_by_rah on Instagram and we saw that she was really good so we decided to choose her. And anyways she was close to us so that's great.
We were laughing and gisting when Abdullah came downstairs smiling at what looked like a text. "Hmmm, amarya ne ake ma smiling haka?"(hmmm, is it the amarya you are smiling for like this)? I asked jokingly.
"Wallahi ni da ke Manal."(wallahi me and you Manal). Abdullah said and started chasing me around the pallor. "Na shigesu, toh kayi hakuri."(I'm dead, toh sorry). I finally muttered out of breath. I stared at hafsah and saw her laughing at us, particularly me. I didn't hesitate before I sent her death glares.
I was in my room scrolling through social media when I heard a knock on my door. I sighed and got off my bed and went over to open the door. I peeped now wanting to get out of the room when I saw hafsah. I opened the door wide and asked what was wrong.
"Ke daddy ya kawo amarya."(hey daddy brought the bride). She said. "Dan allah, ki ce allah?"(are you serious, swear). "Toh in karya na ke yi zaki ga ina farin chiki?"(okay if I was lying, will you see me this happy)? She asked and I rolled my eyes.
Okay I'm coming. I muttered and banged the door on her face. I went to my closet and picked up a veil and placed it neatly on myself. I went downstairs to find the bride sitting on the carpet and smiling. Ya Allah she's so fine.
"Ina wuni amarya."(good evening bride. I muttered. "Yawwa Sannu."(thank you). She said shyly. I went over to sit close to hafsah. I was staring at her non-stop because of her beauty. And of ours Abdullah just sat there using his phone to cover his shy face. That guy is a case.
After sometime mama signaled me to bring drinks and snacks for her. I stood up quietly to the kitchen and brought Fanta and coke then put samosas in a small bowl by its side. I went to the pallor and placed it infront of hanifa(the bride).
"Ba komai."(it's fine). She said hesitating. "Haba mana kin zo gidan namu kuma ki ce baza ko ci komai ba, ko Dan lemu ne kisha."(no now, you came to the house and you won't eat anything, even if it's the drink you should drink some). Mama said and she nodded shyly.
After some time she left and the driver took her back home. "Amma ita kyakyawa Che fa."(but she's beautiful oo). I said. I think that's the hundredth time I'm muttering that same sentence.
