THE BEAUTY OF LIFE LIES IN ITS UNPREDICTABILITY AND THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES IT HOLDS.
DAY 3 (Dinner)
After yesterday's event, which was the Mother's Day we came back home around 11:00pm.
We slept immediately after removing the makeups and ate dinner.
****
"The bride's car is here" Asmau's cousin said.
"Give us some minutes, the makeup is not yet over", I answered.
She nodded her head and left.
"I told you to have started this makeup but you refused, now your husband is waiting". Maryam teased.
"You won't understand, I was so tired that I needed that time to sleep", Asma'u answered.
The makeup was a heavy one because today is the dinner.
We helped her to the car and just like yesterday Yusuf called.
"Kay, I don't have to tell you to come" he whined.
"Oops sorry, I forgot". I defended.
I bid Asma'u goodbye while Maryam has already settled in her boyfriend's car.
"You forgot about your husband?" Yusuf said, feign hurt
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry because we kept Yahya waiting for long", I said.
"It's already then, I've forgiven you", He said with a smile.
"Thank you", I muttered.
The ride to the event hall was cheerful, because we talked about everything and nothing.
As we arrived at the hall, he found a space to park in the parking space.
"You look too beautiful that I envy any one that would look at you, even once". Yusuf said with a contempt look.
"Don't worry I'll stab anyone who looks at me" I said while laughing.
"Let me be your bodyguard" He said.
"Well, I can't say no, let's go before it get started" I said rushing to open the door.
We made a queue for the bridesmaids on the right side while the groomsmen on the left, letting the couple to be at the middle. We matched to the hall while a loud music beating at the background.
Yusuf and I made a queue in a row, Maryam and fu'ad were in our front.
We danced to where our seats were beautifully set. Four chairs were arranged in a circle and a table was placed in the middle.
Maryam, Fu'ad, Yusuf and I took the seats close to the couple so as not to miss any moment.
The event began immediately because it's 8:00pm already.
"Sadeeq, the groom's best man should come forward and tell us a brief history about groom", The Mc spoke.
A guy of about yahya's age matched to where the Mc was standing.
I didn't look at the guy because my attention was on what Yusuf was showing me on his phone, but when I heard the voice, I knew who it belongs to. I quickly looked at the man standing, sure it was Sadeeq, my coursemate in Egypt.
"Hello everyone, My name is Sadeeq I'm the groom's cousin. Yahya is my best since when we were young, It happened that we're neighbors back then, we attended thesame primary and secondary, We were like twins because when ever you saw me then definitely yahya is beside me and vice versa. For long that I've known him, He's the sweetest soul I've ever seen, He hardly gets angry, he's a joker always creating jokes just to see your smiles, He's do brilliant especially when it comes to calculations. I could remember going to their house and spending the night there just for him to teach me a single calculation. Truth to be told I wasn't a fast learner then, but when ever I'm lost I go to him and he always answers my call even when he's busy. So Asma'u your mind should be at rest because you have found a perfect partner and inshallah I'm sure he'll be the coolness of your eyes. I wish you a happy and long marriage life. May Allah SWT bless you and your unborn kids. Your home is blessed inshaAllah, Thank you. He finished.
For the whole time my ears and attention were on him, I didn't know he can speak like that. And wait, he is Yahya's cousin!. Can't believe it!!!.
I looked at Maryam with a shock expression. She's shocked too.
"Is that not that Sadeeq guy?" Yusuf asked.
"Yes, it's him". I answered.
"How comes he is yahya's cousin?" Yusuf asked.
"I don't know too, that's what I've been asking myself". I answered.
"It's him khadijah, Wallahi it's Sadeeq. Yahya's cousin!!!? For real!?" She asked.
"It's okay, I won't let him come close to you, I've warned him". Yusuf said trying to calm us down and take back our attention.
I gulped a whole bottle of water, remembering what sadeeq said on our graduation day.
When the event was over, the bride has already been taken back home.
We sat in the car with Yusuf waiting for Maryam so that we can go home, I knock on the glass cut us off.
"It's me again" Sadeeq said with a smile.
"What and why are you doing here". Yusuf asked angrily.
"I'm here for my cousin's wedding ofcourse" He said with a grin.
"Leave her alone she doesn't need you can't you understand this simple language?" Yusuf said angrily.
"I can't because I want her and I will make her mine!. Sadeeq said almost shouting.
"That's not possible, not when I'm alive, look even if I'm not, khadijah will never be yours, get that to you skull". Yusuf said as he is completely out of the car.
"Try me guy, I will surprise you". Sadeeq said with and evil smile.
"Goodnight sweetheart, make sure you rest and look beautiful tomorrow" Sadeeq said with a wink.
"Get yourself out of here" Yusuf shouted.
"You don't need to shout bro, I will. Take good care of her for me, see you tomorrow". He said giggling and left.
"Idiot". Yusuf muttered.
Just then, Maryam appeared.
"Where have you been, had it been you were here on time this fool wouldn't have say this nonsense". Yusuf seem very angry.
"Who?" She asked.
"Shut up and get to the car if not Wallahi I'm leaving you here". Yusuf hissed and got back to the car immediately.
Maryam quickly opened the door and enter. We drove back to Asmau's house in total silence.
