INTENSE BLING

Part 6

In the time following after Mahira took her mini brunch in the early evening, she took a relaxing nap, and now she's getting ready for the long awaited dinner where she'll be meeting the Murtala Aliyu family.

She was clad in a floral white dress adorned with bishop stripes and loose sleeves that are light pink in colour. She tied a pink coloured peplum flower belt around her waist and quickly wore the pink DKNY wristwatch around her wrist, she slid her legs into a pair of white crocs before adding a little bit of gloss on her pinkish plumbed lips.

Moving back a little to give herself a once over, she inwardly smile knowing that she'll make a good impression in terms of dressing and beauty.

"Miss gorgeous i'm sti.....huuuuh? Oh my gosh, you're looking soooo pweetttyyyy!" Sanaah, who came to take Mahira down together with her exclaimed and ran to hug her.

Mahira gladly hugged the little angel in her arms and pulled her cheeks. "Thank ai baby." She smiled at a dazed Sanaah before moving back to the mirror to tie her pink and white colored Givenchy scarf around her neck, leaving her long jet black hair to dangle.

"We shall go!" She held a still dazed Sanaah and they both leave her room for the family dinner.

Back in the dining hall, Dr. Murtala Aliyu Dala sat at the head chair of the gigantic dining table, an elderly looking woman sat on the chair by his right hand side, while Inna Ammi sat by his left side. Two elegantly dressed girls sat beside each other at the right side of the table beside the same elderly woman from earlier. There was an empty seat beside inna Ammi which Sanaah will be occupying, while Achraf and Man occupied two chairs beside the empty seat.
Meanwhile, Inna Ammi and Achraf are having a little conversation, with the former smiling broadly while listening to the latter chattering.

"Here we areee!" Sanaah exclaimed before running to hug her father who's smiling at his little girl who's more like his best friend because of her vivacious outward behavior, she then settled on the seat in between Inna Ammi and Achraf.

"Welcome my daughter, have a seat" Dr. Murtala Aliyu Dala offered Mahira a warm smile to which she shyly nodded and settled on the seat beside Man, offering him a nice smile at the process.

"Accept my sincere apology for not being there when you arrived, I was taking care of some confidential consultancy. I must declare that having you as our guest in our house brings us good fortune. We are delighted to have you and we hope you'll have a great stay, I hope you're not disappointed?" Dr. Murtala Aliyu Dalaa clearly expressed in an elderly and warm demeanor, accompanied by an England well built accent. In accordance to his accent, one will be ware that he's indeed a highly educated man.

"Oh there's nothing to be sorry about, besides this will do the trick even if I was angry and I wasn't though!" She declared, her eyes never leaving the enormous amount and variety of food pleasingly arranged on the large dining table.

The manner in which she spoke while dazedly looking at the table containing the dishes made Fatima batoul and Dr. Murtala burst out laughing together with Man, Sanaah and Achraf, while some three pair of eyes stared at them with revulsion.

"I hate her audacity!" Nadia whispered softly beside Jamila's ear to which the girl nodded and send another glare towards Mahira.

"It's settled then, So this is my first wife, her name is Hajiya Ruqayya but the kids call her Maama and she's my second son's mother, Usman." Dr.Murtala started introducing the family to Mahira and Achraf to which he started by introducing the woman sitting by his right.

"Sannu Maama!" Mahira smiled at her to which the woman only nodded with her usual expressionless face.

"And the young lady over there is Nadia, an MBBS student in the University here in Abuja. She's the kid's cousin from Maama's side, (Hajiya Ruqayya) she's her late sister's only daughter. Nadia what's your age again?" He introduced the girl sitting next to Maama.
