Mine To Heal

Chapter 10

MUNIRA'S POV

Today was the day my wedding events will start and the first event is the BRIDAL SHOWER. Honestly I was really happy and for the first time in weeks I felt like my old self, I could feel the vibe in me coming up and I will enjoy my wedding to the fullest.

The event was 3pm to 6pm. The venue is at one of my aunts house. It is to be held at the backyard and it was just the perfect size. There would be STRICTLY NO MALES at the event.

It would be just my sisters, friends, cousins and also Hishams sisters. I was now free and comfortable with them they are just like my sisters and friends. Amani has also joined our friend group now and is now added to the group chat. My friends and her clicked just like I knew they would.

I am currently sitting on a chair as the makeup artist decorates my face. I had told her to keep it natural and have been sitting for the past 2 hours. We started by 12pm and it is now to 2pm so we had to hurry.

The girls too were getting their makeup done by other artists.

Luckily she soon finished my makeup and I looked very beautiful mashaallah. Just then the girls came into the room to help me get dressed into my outfit for the day.

            
WOW they said as they saw me. Gaskiya I must send your photo to Hisham Aisha and Amani said together, and just then I heard a click, they took the photo before I could stop them. Sent Amani said looking at me with a smirk and I blushed, again another click.

See how shes blushing fah, what has Hisham done to you? Hanifah teased.

Can you guys just help me get into the dress? I muttered. Yeah okay. Aisha, Sumayyah and Hanifah moved forward to help me, the rest left to give us some privacy.

I am dressed in a champagne coloured fitted dress that hugged my curves in all the right places and the girls were dressed in a purple also fitted dresses but with different styles.

I was brought out by Hanan and Janan to lead my to the car, my mom and aunties were outside waiting to say goodbye. Mashaallah, my beautiful daughter mama said as if she was about to cry immediately she saw me.

I smiled mama please dont cry or you will make me too and I dont want to spoil my hours of makeup. I went over and hugged her tightly my eyes tearing up. Toh, you see now she will cry to" aunty Nana, my moms elder sister teased.

No I am not crying mama said. After the byes we filed into the car to go to the venue.

As we arrived, we got down from the car. I got down with the help of Amina and Sultana, who were also now very close friends.

We went to the backyard and the decorations were mind blowing for me. There was a throne chair at the hear with a BRIDE-TO-BE sash on the arm of the chair. As for all the maids their was a long table with all their names written on their respective seats.

Baba managed to get a female dj, photographer and videographers to all be females to keep the NO MALES policy.

We soon started the fun and we were dancing so much. I have never danced that much in my entire life. The maid made a circle and were all hyping me as I was dancing to my content.

We danced and vibed to different Nigerian songs. A while after we stopped to eat and gist while music played in the background. When we were done eating, we started playing the games.

Firstly, we played dancing chairs and I won. We played guess the song and different types of games. Towards the end, we took dozens of pictures and I am sure the videographer got a lot on camera.

By 6pm we were already on our way back home and we were all exhausted, the driver dropped us off and then took Aisha ,Amani and Farhanah back home as they were not sleeping over but will come over very early tomorrow.

I took of my dress and makeup with the help of my friends, who would not stop teasing me. Eventually, I had my shower and got ready for bed as did the girls too.

I slept off the moment my head touched the pillow and I also could not wait for the event tomorrow
