Ibrahim and Aisha planned a gender reveal and some weeks ago, Farida followed Aisha to the lab as she took her scan. The doctor told Farida the gender of the baby and Farida partnered with Yassir to plan and arrange a gender reveal party. Aisha and Ibrahim had been arguing about the gender of the baby and there had to be a loser.

Tomorrow was the party and Aisha had her blue floral dress neatly ironed and hung in her wardrobe ready for tomorrow. Ibrahim got a black kaftan and babariga ready, he couldn't wear pink. . .

. . .

The living room was being decorated as Ibrahim and Yassir supervised. Farida and Aisha were in her room talking as she got Aisha ready. She put on her dress which was a bit fitted because of the bump and Fraida helped her with a little makeup.

"It's just family that are coming right?" Aisha asked

"yeah, I invited, your parents, Ibrahim's parents, your brother and his sisters, your cousins and that's pretty much it. it's just between the close family others can know later." She said rounding up with her makeup. She looked so beautiful.

"Thanks for everything, I owe you a lot" Aisha says and hugs Farida

"It's nothing, think of me as your sister who you can count on" she says.

"Let me go and check on the caterers, I'll be back" she says and leaves the room.

Sometime later Ibrahim walks into the room and Aisha rushes to hug him.

"I can't wait to see everyone's faces, this will be the first time their seeing me with the bump" she says and he hugs her back

"I can't wait for it to be over so I can have you all to myself, I know everyone will steal you away" he says and kisses her forehead as she looks up at him letting out a little laugh.

As they talk, they hear horns and Ibrahim looks out the window, some black and white cars are parked outside and he smiled

"They're here" he says and they both walk out of the room.

The living room is decorated in pink and blue balloons and Aisha can't help but smile at the beautiful arrangement. Aisha walked out with Ibrahim holding her hand as 3 cars drove into the compound.

Her parents and brother came in her brothers black range rover, Samira and Sultana came with Ibrahims parents while Hanifa and Humaira also came but Aisha was surprised to see Ya Sadiq, he also came and his wife Asmau was with him holding a baby in her hands.

"Ya Nana!" Humaira and Hanifa ran to hug Aisha, Samira and Sultana also gathered, they all fussed over the baby and Aisha's health.

"How far sis, I feel so proud to be the uncle of the new unborn baby" Amar says and Aisha rolls her eyes.

"I myself feel so proud to be the sister of the stubborn uncle of the baby" she says and they laugh, he hugs her.

Aisha noticed that they all had wrapped gifts in their hands, Farida urged them to bring gifts and set a table for them to place them on.

"Guys you really didn't have to" she said and they ignored her remark

Her parents and Ibrahims parents walked in and congratulate them both giving her a hug, they shower their blessings on her and it takes a while for everyone to get settled.

Everyone was served food and they all talked about random things. Aisha didn't miss the glances that Amar gave Sultana, they'd been smiling at each other ever since.

"Ok everyone!" Yassir said hitting the glass and motioning for Saratu to come, she carried a big cake and placed it on the table.

"It's time to reveal the gender of the baby" Farida joined and everyone clapped especially the girls.
