UNTAMED PRINCESS

•Chapter 12•

MALAK'S POV

"What's that?" I raise a brow at Huda as I wipe off my makeup. "Alkyabba, for tomorrow's Budan Kai" She replies arranging the jewellery box. "And what's that for?" I ask motioning at the jewellery. "Eldest daughter in law, Family Tradition. It was gifted to our mother by our grandmother and now you" she explains and I nod my head in understanding.

Our flight is in 2 hours or so. There has been a little problem with the jet and that's why we couldn't leave by 5:00pm as planned and 3 extra hours has been added.

As someone that's going to be taken away from the house she grew up in, I'm not supposed to be excited that I'm leaving which I am. Leaving means a lot of things, it means attending the institution I've been dreaming of, it means getting away from Mama and having my way because Tafida wouldn't dare stop me. This is just an arrangement and it stays that way. Period!

As per the traditions, A full lace got wrapped around me from head to toe with the help of Adda Humairah and Huda. "You're not even teary eyed" Aisha said to me before I cover my face to be taken away. "What's their to cry for?" I ask and she smiled slowly. "I think I'm starting to like you" she says. "I'm hard to resist" I smirk and she chuckled lightly.

"Let's go" Adda Billy whisper wrapping her arms around me and I nod letting her lead the way since I can't exactly see with my face covered. Adda Humairah, Adda Billy, My cousin, Fadul, Zulayha and Anty Ammu, My favourite paternal aunt are going to Abuja with me.
Leemah couldn't join us because her sister in law is getting married and she has missed most of the events because of my wedding already.

More Yodels and Nasiha and I'm taken out of the house. "Stay safe, I'll be seeing you a lot now" Ya Imran said. "Yes" I hug him back and he pats my back. "And tell your sister in law that's trying to kill me with looks that it wasn't my intention to flirt, I was barely being nice and she's just too tightened up" " And you know riling people up might just be my favourite hobby" he adds and I chuckle lightly. "Heard you" Aisha said from behind with a shake of her head. "Thanks for riling me up, such a horrible experience" she adds with a smirk and he chuckles. "Sorry" he mutter. "Take care of her" he pats my back again. "Gotcha!" she replies putting one arm around me and I can feel him move away.

"Hey, guess what?" Fadul Whispered immediately we settled in the car. "Spill it. You sound excited" I whispered back. "I got it" she squealed, her voice still low. "The residency?" I mouthed back. "Yes" she squeezes my hand and this time around I squealed real loud hugging the life out of her. "Okay okayyy, don't shout shhh! A shouting bride, stop" she laughs hugging me back. "Sorry" I muttered lifting the edge of my wrapped lace immediately we're out of the house. Huda shook her head with a laugh as well as Anty Ammu.

"So, Where are you staying?" I whisper not wanting others to hear our conversation. "I'm going to stay with Baba and Ya Imran before Baba officially retires but after that, I'll find a two bedroom apartment near the hospital or if possible in the workers quarters-What?" She stops looking at my mischievous smile.

"Do you know what moving to Abuja for your residency means Doc?" I ask and she groans knowing what I'm going to say next. "Please don't talk about this here, if someone hears it I'm doomed" she whisper yelled, her eyes pleading. "It means you and Ya Imran, for as long as your residency will take, you'll fall in love, you'll marry, have doctor babies..........." I ignore her plead. "I'm done with you" She turned around with her fair skin all tinted red and I laugh.

"What are you talking about?" Adda Humaira asked from the back of the car. "Nothing" Fadul answered quickly and continue staring at the window. We're using three Land cruisers for the drive to the airport and in a short amount of time, we're already boarding the plane.
