Why(Hausa).

Pre-wedding 💍

Waleed's pov.
I kept reminiscing what just happened between us. Of course she was also shocked but it was like she didn't want it to be me, she didn't ever love me.
A knock on the window gripped my attention. I unlocked the car when I saw Abid. And I came out and switched to the passenger's seat.
He took the driver's seat, I gave him the keys and he started the engine.
"Are you leaving your own car here?" I asked.
"So you did not think of that when you asked me to come koh, toh I took a lift, or do you see any car around here ne?" He replied. I just gave him a straight face.
He then started driving.
"Can you tell me what's wrong, you look tensed" he asked.
"Dude, Fatima is ....."
".....ugly koh" he said cutting me.
"Let me land mana, you're also getting on my nerves" I said and he immediately halted the car.
"Then you'll have to get yourself another driver" he said and was about to exit the car.
"Sorry" I quickly blurted.
"Yawwa, now you better tell me".
"Fatima is the same person as Zarah"
"What!!!!!"
"Yeah"
"How didn't you realise"
"I forgot her surname and it never occurred to me that Zarah is a nickname for Fatimas."
"I would say you're more careless than me, but does she know"
"No, she thought Muhammad was my brother she only saw me from behind but since it was two different names, same surname and physique, she just thought we were brothers. On the other hand, her voice sounded very familiar but I just couldn't work it out" he just huffs in response and it was a quiet drive till we reached his house. I've decided to stay there with him until the wedding. Besides, he lives alone.

Wednesday.
Zarah's pov.
"Wake up!!!" Neency and Aush chorused.
"You guys should've let me pour this cold water on her" hauwy said.
"Please, let me" I mumbled dragging the duvet.
"No" Bella yelled taking the duvet away from me.
"Please give it back" I say mustering up a puppy eye look 🥺.
"How you go wake up late on a special day like this, get up jor" Ella said in a weird accent. As Aush, Neency and I laughed.
"Okay" I got up.
We all got ready. I'm yet to tell any of them the incident that happened yesterday. Let it be surprise for them too I thought.
Just then, Ammi came in.
"Alright girls, listen, the wedding Fatiha has been scheduled for tomorrow, the wedding events are coming after the Fatiha, I insisted that a slow dance be included and your Father said he won't let you dance in public with a non mehram, so I suggested so, and he agreed. Plus he's also in support because the wedding will be unique, befitting his daughter as he claims" she grinned.
"That's a lot to digest Ammi" I said.
"Ohh my girl, I'm so excited, I'll make sure this wedding is very grand and special. A wedding befitting our princess Fatima Abdullahi. Even the Ibrahims are well known, I know your wedding will be the talk of the town, don't you think so?" She turned to the girls she squealed like a child that's been promised Candies.
"Yes ma, Bikin dadi yi" Bella said as we laughed a bit.
"What are you trying to say" I asked.
"The wedding will be perfect"
"Bikin zaiyi dadi or bikin zai bada armashi" I replied.
"Abi ooo, which one is Bikin dadi yi, that's wedding sweet do, it doesn't even make sense" hauwy laughed.
"Kin Dena min dabiya" she said again and we laughed harder than the first time.
"Which one is dabiya again" Ammi asked.
"I think she meant to say Kina min dariya" I said whilst laughing.
"Well, anyways the main thing is that you're having pre wedding pictures today" Ammi announced.
"What about the henna thing, guests will be arriving anytime from now" I complained.
"I already posted on the Instagram page for the wedding that there's a reschedule"
"But Ammi, some people might not be aware, and it'll be disappointing for them to be asked to go back"
"You know what, just don't worry, I gat this" she winked.
Anyways, if it's social then leave it to Ammi, she's not a professional event planner but she's good at it. She deals with all social events within the family and she's damn good at it.
"Lantana" Ammi called on the new house help we got.
"Na'am" she answered from downstairs.
"Get what the box I asked you to keep for me" she yelled back.
In a jiffy, she came in with a maroon box and a smaller black gift box with red ribbon.
"There are five different outfits in there, so take a bath now, the makeup artist is on her way" Ammi pointed the large maroon box before leaving the room.
"Aunty" Lantana called referring to me. Not that I'm older than her, but because she respects me. Judging from her looks, she'd be in her early thirties.
"Na'am" I grinned.
"Your husband to be said to give this" she said as she hands me the black box. She also left.
I opened the small black box, and behold there laid a large heavy looking gold necklace.
"Awww" the girls squealed.
My mind drifted back to what happened yesterday night, is he using this as a medium to apologize I thought.
"gasps* you're blushing" Ayush squealed. I just gave her a side eye as I raised the necklace. It was even heavier than it looked. I love fancy jewelry but I don't like wearing them due to the weight.
"Let's head to the guest room and allow you get ready, Neency should help you, na she be fashionista" Hauwy said. Then they left me and Neency alone as I undressed to take my bath.

When I was out, Neency wasn't in the room but she had laid out one outfit and all the deodorants and perfumes I needed.
