It's been some hours since I was brought to the Hamza Mansion. I was welcomed very warmly, I appreciated it, but I couldn't reciprocate their warmness, I'm simply not good at pretending in that aspect, but I tried my best to give them some small smiles.

After the budan kai in the main house, I was taken to a bungalow on the other side of the mansion. I felt my heart squeeze when it was time for them ummi to leave. They were only three females from my side, Ummi, nina, and Tanya. I was grateful that she was here. I hugged them all so tight before they released me from their hold, saying they had to leave, but not before praying for me and showering blessings on me.

I was left all alone in an unfamiliar place, that was until his siblings came to keep me company. "Assalamu Alaikum." They said, and I answered quietly.
We exchanged pleasantries before they all introduced themselves. They were all so very nice.

"I can't believe my role model is now my sister in law. You don't know how happy I am." Jidda cooed, and I gave her a smile.

"Welcome to the family, Matar yaya." Nawal said with a huge smile on her face.

"Thank you, nawal." The small smile was still there.

"I can't believe you're going to live with us now, Barbie. Can I stay here with you, please?" She pouted and did her puppy eyes. I couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she was, "Of course you can stay with me, cutie." I pinched her cheeks.

"No, you're not going to stay and disturb her humayrah. She's tired, I'm sure she needs rest." Yusra said very considerately.

"But she said I can stay ya yus." She complained.

"That's because she's nice, Humayrah." The twins replied. I smiled. They're so nice. "Thank you, guys." I may hate their brother so very much, but I like them. They're good people.

"You don't have to worry, I'm fine. Ayra can stay with me." I assured them.

"But Ya firdaus, mami is going to say we let her disturb you." That was from ihsan.

"Don't worry, I'll speak to mami. Ayra, go get your pj's, we're having a sleepover!" I beamed at ayra. We high fived, and she jumped up in excitement. "Yayy!! You're the best, Barbie." She ran out it the room.

"You know you didn't have to, right?" Nawal said with her hand on her baby bump.

"I know, but it made her happy. So it's all good."

"We better get going then." Jidda stood up, and so did they.

"You can stay a bit longer." I stood up too.

"We should let you rest." Yusra replied.

"Oh, matar yaya, your gifts are in the store." She added, and I nodded.

"Thank you for coming, guys." I said when we were by the door.

"Oh, it's nothing. Good night. Oh matar yaya, breakfast is by 10." I nodded, and with that, they left me alone again. At least I'll have ayra.

I went back to the room I was staying in and opened one of my boxes. I took out my princess tiana pj's. I took off all the heavy jewellery and the outfit and wore a robe. I took a hot shower to relax my sore muscles. I can't even begin to imagine how tired I would've been if we actually had any event. They wanted it, but I didn't. So I used the excuse of mom not being able to attend them. I was fully dressed when I went back to the room. I found ayra on the bed waiting for me.
