Destined To Be

Chapter 3

'Ahn ahn, you guys are still here?' Yusrah said when she opened the room door and saw us sitting down

    I had just finished eating, and was trying to fix my lip stick when she came in.

'We were already coming, but Farah was hungry' Jeedarh said taking her clutch from the dressing mirror and arranging her turban on her head.

'That's why I specifically brought rice for her. Ya mummy?' Yusrah said in between laughs

'Alhamdulillah, she did not let me eat at home. She said you told her you kept something for me' I said and she just laughed

'You guys are ready, right?' Yusrah said picking out a matching red colored veil that compliments her long red gown with petals at the bottom of the beautiful dress.

When I say our family do not lack in fashion, I mean it!. I mean when you have 3 fashion designers in the family.

"We're ready...I am ready but I don't know of Farah" Jeedarh said wearing her heels

"I am very ready, I have eaten already...so let's go. Ina Laila?" I asked

"She's already at the party hall, guests have started arriving already. We are kind of late" Yusrah said walking out of the door while I and Jeederh followed her.

"Its suppose to start by 8:30, but its already 8:53, so it must have started already" Jeederh said.

     We got to the venue and the event was a sure blast. I met Sa'ad and Sadiya, my two beautiful cousins who are rarely at home. They school in Dubai, and are always there, so they do not come home only on occasions like this.

"Sa'adddddd" I squealed when I saw him and ran to hug him.

"I missed you" I cooed, pulling his cheeks

"Bi'iznillah Farah! I'm not 5 Anymore" He rolled his eyes. Sa'ad and Sadiya were twins and 3 years younger than me

"Oh please. How's everything, school and Sadiya.....Wait, where is she?" I asked

"Ihsan wouldn't let her go, she practically almost suffocated her when she saw her, saying she saw her 15 years ago last" Sa'ad rolled his eyes and I gave a small laugh

"15 years? Really? How old was she 15 years ago? Just 4" I laughed

"She's very dramatic, what do you expect. She couldn't even give me a proper greeting, she only patted my head and said 'Sa'ad, we meet again after 3 months'. Like seriously? With an evil smirk plastered on her annoying face" Sa'ad ranted, scrunching up his face in confusion.

The thing is, Sa'ad and Ihsan never got along, not like they do not like each other, infact, they loveeee each other. But they do not just get along whenever they are together and when they are away, they go looking for each other.

"Ihsan literally cried when you were returning to Dubai after Ya Ibrahim's wedding. And everyone thought she was crying because she wouldn't be able to go for her friend's wedding in Dubai because of her upcoming exams then. But, she was actually crying because of you, and you were equally sad too. God...you guys are just weird" I said sitting on one of the round tables in the event hall.

"Yuck! Me? Sa'ad Al-Qamar...sad?" He said dramatically and I just shaked my head.

"Subhanalillah! Farahhhhhhh" I heard a girly scream behind me and I turned to see...

"Sadiiiiiiiiiii" I squealed going to hug her

"Like...I've missed you so much" She said disengaging from the hug

"Wallahi, me too. Ya kike?" I asked

"Lafiya, Allhamdulilah" She said and I smiled

"Please, stop trying to speak Hausa. Your voice doesn't even go with it" Sa'ad said amidst laughter and Sadiya growled at him

"Mtcheew, at least I'm better than you" She fired

"Tell me another joke please! You know I'm far better" He boasted

"Coming from somebody who doesn't know what 'Shinkafa' is" Ihsan butts in

"You've not stopped this habit of meddling into my business, right?" Sa'ad shifted his gaze to Ihsan

"Oh, please! I remembered when I came to visit you guys in Dubai. Farah, you needed to see the way this guy was begging me to just stay 1 more week" Ihsan said adjusting her veil boastfully on her shoulders

Actually, it was true. When Ihsan had gone to Dubai to attend her friends after-wedding-party, she decided to stay at Aunty Maimunah's place, Sa'ad's mum's for 3 days before finally going for the party then coming back to Nigeria the next day, since she had to resume her extra lessons class and has been attending it through Zoom. Sa'ad had literally begged her to stay for a week more before leaving.

"I was just cajoling you, darling. Deep down I wanted you out of my house, my compound, my estate, and Dubai at last" He said and Ihsan rolled her eyes

"Indeed! My aunty's and uncle's house you meant?" She said

"Have you seen Yasmin and the rest?" I asked Sadiya because I know Ihsan and Sa'ad's bickering won't end anytime soon

"No, I only saw Jiddarh" She said and I took her to where the rest of the girls were.

Hey guys, sorry this chapter is a bit boring, I'm kind of sick😫

I promise to make the next more interesting.
