Najma styled her hair in a ponytail as she sat down on the edge of her bed. "Will you open this package already or you're waiting for it to open itself?" Basma teased. "Matar Sani allow me to breath." Najma teased. "Najma If you don't stop calling me with this name, I will strip you off your clothes and give you the beating of your life."
"Oh my God! You want to see My Nabil's property?" Najma declared with a giggle, crossing her hands to her chest. "Fine I will open it now." She carefully loosened the red ribbon and opened the package. "Awwwn My Nabil." Najma whispered.
"My Nabil? That's one of the new pet names now?" Nawawo for you guys!" Basma declared shaking her head. "Basma look, It's so beautiful!" Najma announced with a smile on her lips as she brought out the new pair of red colored ZARA heels Nabil got her. "Awwwwn and Kay ali too." Najma declared spraying the perfume on her wrist and sniffing it.
"Welcome back home my rose." She read the note out loud and blushed. "My Nabil is so cute, isn't he Basma?"
"Yeah yeah I know. Don't choke me with all these love thing. Let's go downstairs and have lunch before Mummy comes into this room again." Basma cautioned as Najma stood up.
Najma met the dinning well set and smiled. "Mummy who gave you the Idea of buying scented candles? And these rose petals too?" Najma teased admiring the dinning setting. "I think I need to check the boss's bedroom and see what you're up too." Najma winked.
"Najma would you quietly sit down and have your meal without disturbing me?" Mummy asked, trying to stifle a smile. "I don't understand what's all these imposter syndrome you're displaying you know. You're bend on becoming young so Baba won't marry........" Najma's words trailed off as she dodged a slap from Mummy.
"Relax Mummy, calm down." Najma declared laughing hysterical. "Basma please be talking some sense into your friend, She plays with me as If I'm her grandmother not her mother." Mummy declared shaking her head.
"Anyways, before you girls finish having your meal, I'm going to go upstairs and have a shower. Your Dad would soon be back." She announced, making Najma's heart beat to increase rapidly. The thought of seeing Baba was making her super anxious and nervous, not that she didn't miss him, but her instincts have been telling her it's not a good idea to face Baba now.
Najma and Basma dined together as they did some catching up. "No way is Ameerah heavily pregnant! I really would want to see her with a baby bump." Najma declared laughing. "We really need to go to her house tomorrow."
"Najma you love gossip way too much, you just came back. Allow your body to rest mana." Basm teased. "You know I love going out, and yes you're coming along no Ifs or buts." She declared.
"Assalamu Alaikum." Baba declared with his deep husky voice, Najma looked up and her eyes fell into Baba and Abbakar's. Right there, her soul threatened to leave her body. Her brain immediately reminded her that she was seated with her hair open and was wearing a sleeveless gown. "Excuse me." She slurred, as she ran upstairs in shame, while Basma stayed back and greeted Baba and Abbakar before joining her.
"Basma wha......What is he doing here? Why.....Why will Baba invite him to come? I just came back to Nigeria for crying out loud, Why is Baba after my happiness like this?" Najma asked palming her face.
"Don't say that please Najma, Try to calm down. We all know Baba likes him, So he just invited him to come over or they met somewhere." Basma shrugged.
"How does that sound convincing to you Basma? You know he deliberately brought him here because he knows I'm coming back today." Najma declared with a racing heart. She found herself in a much worse dilemma when Nabil's call came through.
