Currently, a momentous event is unfolding where distinguished leaders from Nigeria and across the globe entirely gathered.

The purpose of the gathering was meant to be a secret affair, but somehow, word got out and the whole world seemed to know. The news of this unexpected union spread like wildfire, shaking the entire world at large. After all, it's a union between two noble families across the globe.

"Hereby, the knot between Murtala Muhammad and Rachida Mahira Ahmed Hakimi has been tied for the beginning of a beautiful and religious union." Syed Saif Abbas Naqvi announced. He volunteered to be given the honor to officiate a special ceremony. Syed Saif Abbas shared a wise and heartfelt sermon afterwards, guiding the newlyweds on their journey of love and unity.

Muhammad, mostly known as the Genius sat and observe the moves of everyone inside the Fada. It's like trying to catch the whispers in the bustling room, even the sharpest minds might miss a beat when it comes to noticing every single move around them.

That's how attentive he is. Back then when he's in his high school, some students had always envied his intelligence and mental capacity. Especially when he was named 'The Genius' by the school management team and the students representative council.

As far as the history of the outstanding school is concerned, there has never been a student like Muhammad, who's a walking encyclopedia, knows more than his teachers sometimes. His smartness is simply beyond his years. The awards he's bagged are countless from his early years fast forward till date.

Glancing sideways after his name and that of his cousin was mentioned and being declared officially husband and wife, he sighted his father silently praising the almighty with a faint-contented smile. It didn't take the genius a fly to know that his father silently recited the words of praise.

Until today, he thought his father was on his side on not supporting this marriage from all his actions like trying to convince Batoul Hakimi to not make the marriage happen, and staying up late at night thinking of ways to stop the wedding, trying his possible best to make the wedding lowkey, among others, but he was clearly wrong.

Bunch of people paced forward stretching their hands towards him for a handshake which he did grabbed their hands accompanied by a nice smile. For a moment, the grief he felt last night and this morning disappeared into thin air, leaving a lingering feeling of comfort and contentment in his frail heart.

Immediately after the wedding Fatiha, a grand reception was held, food vendors from different countries were invited, photographers had a number of no count, capturing the moment. The traditional bands were present as well. The air was filled with laughter, traditional music, and the aroma of delicious feasts fit for royalty.

Back inside the mansion of Dr. Murtala Aliyu Dala, A particular someone is in his room sulking and grieving over the unforeseen news that came to everyone at the breakfast table. It came as a surprise that Dr. Murtala wants everyone at the dining hall for breakfast as early as 6:00 am prompt.

After a long and quiet breakfast period with only the Genius and Mahira absent from, Dr. Murtala make public the news to everyone.

Man was the last to leave the table, he couldn't get on his feet out of shock and when he did, he headed unswerving to his room and cried his eyes out.
