I was trying to raise my leg when I noticed something heavy was holding it, I opened my eyes properly to noticed my surrounding. My room is filled with my friends who came from different places to celebrate with me.
I'm Hafsoh's Abdullahi, I'm 18yrs old girl from a family of four ( two girls and two boys). The first child is Brother Adam who is 23yrs old, an architect and still single, followed by sister khodijah who is 21yrs old and a final year nursing student at University of Ilorin who is presently at home because of Assu strike. I followed sister khodijah and I just graduated from marvelous Islamic secondary School and Abdulrahman who's the last born is 15yrs old and presently in SS2 in my former school. My mom is a lecturer at University of Ilorin while my father is a lawyer at high court.
My friends are here cause today is my nikkah day, I know it's shocking coupled with the fact that I'm getting married to a married man, yes my husband to be is married with one wife and two kids. Honestly speaking I can't explain how I ended up in this kind of relationship at this young age of mine but all I know is I'm attracted to my future husband and I like him so much even though he's 10yrs older than me.
It's 6am in the morning so I entered the bathroom to perform ablution and observe my subh ( early morning ) prayer, chanted my morning adkar ( remembrance of Allah), ask Allah for my need and also recited some portion of the holy Qur'an.
Most of my friends already woke up by the time I finished my solah, after everyone has prayed we made use of the toilet in my room and that of my sister to freshen up by the time we finished freshen up it was already after 8am. We had our breakfast after which everyone started to dress up for the nikkah which was scheduled to start by 10am.
By the time we finished dressing up, everyone has left for the venue which is a school field near our house, not that we can't afford to rent a hall but I just perceived it as a waste of money. we left our house around 10:10 am. Brother Adam came to convey me and some of my friends to the venue with my daddy's car meanwhile, others agree to trek to the venue since it's just few minutes walk to my house.
My nikkah is quite simple and I'm happy because that's all I have always wanted. The program was commenced at 10:30am with opening prayer, followed by recitation from the holy Qur'an, introduction of guest, the nikkah ( joining of a woman and woman in Islamic way to become husband and wife) was done and lecture which was based solely on importance of nikkah. The lecturer made us Know that getting married means you've completed half of your Deen, he further explained the right of both husband and wife as well as their right on their unborn kids. He ended the lecture by asking for Allah blessing in everyone's home. Islamic quiz competition was done which involves five kids. They were asked questions from different part of Islam and the first 3 were presented with gift. Food was been served while the quiz competition was on going. The program ended around 1pm. Before coming to my event I had packed 30 pieces of take away to be distributed to the almagiri's in our junction.
We went back to my father's house where some of my aunt's were already seated in the parlour, I was advised by them even though I was filtering their advice. I took the one useful to me while I discard the useless ones.
I was told to change my clothes after asr ( 4pm prayer) solah because I will be going to my husband's house by 5pm. My mom prayed for me and that was when we both started crying like wise my father, he wasn't crying but his face said it all. I hugged my siblings after which I was taking to the car that was meant to convey to my husband's house.I know this chapter is short but I promised to do better next time. Stay tuned for the second chapter.
Thank you
