LET YOUR HEART BE YOUR COMPASS, AND YOU WILL NEVER LOSE YOUR WAY

Day 4 (Nikkah Day)
Daurin Aure

Today is one of the happiest day of our lives especially Asma'u.

As today is the Nikkah Day, the bride has been crying since yesterday night. We tried to console her but we ended up crying together.

The bride wore a beautiful white dress, red head and a machine bag with shoes, her makeup was a light one showcasing her beauty.

"Mashaallah Tabarakkallah". Umma complemented as she saw Asma'u.

Umma hugged her and said, "My daughter you look gorgeous mashaallah, May Allah SWT bless you and your home".

We all answered with "Ameen".

"It's official!!!, She's finally Mrs Yahya". Maryam announced.

"Congratulations Asma'u May Allah SWT bless your new home". I congratulated her first.

I hugged her so tight because gosh I can't believe my best friend in now married.

I know she needed a hug so a hugged for a very long time. Maryam also joined the hug.

After series of pictures, walima was held in the house.

Countless number of people came  to congratulate her.

"Girl, are you seriously married"? I couldn't help but to ask.

"That's what I have been asking myself besty, Am I? Are you sure this is not a dream? Even though it's not a bad dream but...".

"It's not Asma'u, you are married to the love of your life". I said patting her back.

"Yes ofcourse" she answered giggling.

"What are you guys gossiping about?" Maryam intervent.

"When will you grow up?" I asked Maryam while giggling.

"The day that donkey get a horn" she said, giggling too.

"You will never grow up then, fu'ad really has a lot I mean a lot of work to do" I said.

"That is me for him, now tell me what you were gossiping about? Is it that fat woman sitting at 3 o'clock?" She asked.

The three of us turn to look at the woman.

"Hey, she's my aunt, She's baba's elder sister". Asma'u scolded.

"Oops sorry, I didn't know". She said.

But we all ended up laughing because the woman is really fat that she has to sit on a couch because the plastic chair couldn't contain her.

"In the whole family, she's the only one with this body, non of baba's siblings are like that" Asma'u said.

"When ever she comes to this house she always says" let me sit on the carpet before I break your beautiful chair.  We all laughed again.

"I know she's not enjoying it at all" Maryam said.

"Not at all" Asma'u answered.

"But she's very nice, very friendly also." She added.

"It shows in her face, look how she has been smiling at people". I said.

"Is it mama that we used to go to her house during break period back in secondary school"? I asked.

"Yes she the one" Asma'u answered
