"Basma why do you always have to be such a hater? Allow me to sleep some more please." Najma slurred rubbing her eyes.
"You need to see this!" Basma flashed her phone across Najma's face. She abruptly sat up and opened her big appealing eyes wide in disbelief glaring at the screen.
"How did this video get here? How? Over hundred thousand views already? Who posted it? Who gave them the right to post this? And with this caption too" Najma spoke nervously, as her body started shaking .
A famous arewa blog posted her video and Nabil from last night's dinner when he was spraying dollars on her. With the caption: " Kano's most eligible bachelor & His heartthrob. Cute babies alert!!!!"
"That's not only it Najma. More than ten other blogs posted the same video with the same caption. If you ask me, I think the whole of Arewa blogs posted this" Basma announced.
"Basma I'm done for! What will I tell Baba when he sees this? I'm sure that idiot paid them to post this!"
"No Najma. I don't think he has a hand in this. If you look at things this way, Nabil will be in the spotlight more than you'd be because of his fame. I don't think he would want to introduce his woman to the social media like this." Basma squinted.
"Basma what about me? You're forgetting I'm the victim here. Do you know the kind of unnecessary attention this would attract to me? I mean we don't even communicate, But look at the mess these bloggers created." Najma palmed her face.
"If you ask me, It's not their fault but Nabil's. You should have seen the way everyone was talking about you guys yesterday. The way he diverted his attention solely to you made everyone think there's something between you two. It was such a book worthy scene." Basma chuckled.
"Basma you're not helping with matters over here. Already I'm freaking out." Najma sighed .
"Come here . Just don't get too worked up about the whole thing." Basma gently squeezed Najma's hands like she always does to calm Najma down.
"So what do I do about the trending video?" Najma asked.
"Pretend like it's all just a dream." Najma threw a very mean look at Basma .
"Really? Just listen to yourself Basma." Najma shook her head.
"Okay fine, maybe that came out wrong. But there's absolutely nothing you can do about it but turn a deaf ear. After all, you're not active on Instagram.
You guys don't even follow each other. I know people would try to stalk his account and yours but they won't see you guys following each other. Which will debunk the blogs story." Basma concluded.
"Well you're right. Even though it's not as easy as it sounds." Najma carried her phone and logged into instagram where she met alot of notifications .
"Basma I think the people that know me must have mentioned me, look at all these notifications." Najma flashed her phone across Basma's face.
"You're an instagram celeb now baby! " Basma teased .
"You know I'm not finding anything exciting. I always wanted to remain low-key on this social media of a thing." Najma shook her head.
"Nabil's sweetheart!" Ameerah called out as she barged into the room.
"So you're the lucky girl Nabil has been hiding away from all of us,huh?" Ameerah nudged Najma.
"Wait, You know him right? How do you guys know each other?" Najma asked .
"Isn't It obvious? He's Kabir's best friend and Kabir is my groom." Ameerah announced.
"But that's not what I'm here for. Wait, you're not even ready yet? You haven't even showered? You know the groom's family will be here anytime." Ameerah looked at Najma in disbelief.
