CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

I think this color is the perfect pick. Right?" Amma said facing Nadia and kulthum while her gaze was fixed at the white lace that was all covered with shiny stonework

"yeah, but amma don't you think white is a bit much to your complexion?" kulthum shrugged doing a weird face

"I mean, you are fair and white looks so odd almost matching your skin" she ended still her face looking kind of weird

"Then, what of maroon? It will blowout everything" Nadia suggested and gladly both amma and kulthum didn't think twice and just go for it

It has always been more than one bargained for, some would say it was a great duration, more like a bit lengthy since she left for Germany and started schooling in the academy. Merely, for her it was just like a blink of an eye, she had two sisters and two brothers there with her throughout the journey, she learned to fight her own battle and know what the best for her. She just couldn't asked for more by seeing how her family were giggling and being smiley all along, and for the very first time she sees the world just as the way she wanted it to be, just like how she had always dreamt it to be.

Ummu am! My darling" Dada called out excitedly

Kulthum was so pleased to see her even though she has been stressed out recently. The whole congratulatory messages, bouquet of flowers, gifts, paintings, clay pots and saucers... there was just so many things that made her looked so exhausted yet gleefully.

Dada na... I missed you, when did you arrive" she exclaimed hugging her tightly

I missed you too Ummu, and I got here not long ago" he said releasing each other from the pleasant moment

"I see how Berlin made you a woman of valence." Dada let back a happy sigh and hold up kulthum's chin up

"Congratulations my darling, and thank you for giving him a chance to prove you how worthy you are. I love you" She murmured as she wiped away kulthum's lone tear that kept triggering and finally got it way out rolling

Two years wasn't some years to waste. In fact, it was years that evolved who she was, or shall we said years that made her realize who she really was. Just like a child's play she was a certified potter and a Gallery owner in Katsina State, and today being the day to celebrate her work of art, dedication and patience, she was holding a huge event in her new mansion of a building in her hometown.

Laraba! Laraba!" Hajia rafi'a kept yelling for her maid's name

Hajia... I am so sorry. Inata ciki ne shiyasa banjiki ba (I was inside that's I did hear you calling)" she explained wiping her hands in the towel she was holding

"Babu komai......amman ina khairiyya ? ( It's nothing..... but where is khairiyya?)" she asked

"Taje karbo dinkinta (she went to pickup her new clothes)" labara said

"Dinki? (Sew clothes) okay" hajia shrugged and turned to the television

As laraba was about spin around, she caught a glimpse of Hammad's car driving in. She exclaimed and quickly left the parlor and went to welcome him.

Sanni da zuwa, sannu da zuwa(welcome, welcome) Baba na sannu da hanya "she exclaimed and singing happily

Oyoyo Laraba!" he said as he also looked so cheerful to see her

He collected his phone and wallet from the car and left the rest to the mai gadi heading inside alongside laraba.

Muhammadu! Sannu da hanya(welcome) I didn't know you are coming" hajia who awaited them to come in said looking so happy to see him
