Today is the beginning of another week and Zarah have an appointment with Amna Abubakar Musawa, at the same time zarah wanted to get an assistant for Aisha, because she thought that since Ammi want Aisha to find a husband, she needed to reduce the loads of Aisha's work, so that Aisha can have time for herself.
Zarah what am I hearing, I told you several times I don't need an assistant I can handle my work by myself, Aisha said coming into zarah's office.
Calm down Aisha, I'm just reducing the work load on your table because you need more time to yourself, Zarah said to Aisha sitting next to her on the sofa.
But I didn't complain or did I ever tell you that am tired, Aisha said getting angry.
Aisha please listen to me, you need more time to yourself because you need to meet people, enjoy yourself and finally get yourself a boyfriend, Zarah said laughing.
Oh now I see, are you sure it's not Ammi that suggested that you should get me an assistant, Aisha said.
She isn't the one, I just decided to find one for you and by the way I call you so that we can interview the few people that applied for the job, Aisha said standing up and heading to her table to get her tablet.
Oh so you've already made up your mind, Aisha asked.
Yep, let's go, Zarah said exiting the office and heading towards their meeting room. They interview six people that applied for the job and told them that, they will get an email if they are picked or hired.
It's 1pm and Zarah was supposed to have an appointment with Amna Abubakar Musawa by 12:30pm , but Amna haven't arrived yet, Zarah looks forward towards this appointment because it's one of her dream to walk with the Musawa's, although she have worked with different celebrities in Nigeria, Amna is a special one because she's known not just in Nigeria but beyond. Amna is into modelling so she works for many brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and many other, she never thought that Amna's dress will be made in Nigeria, Zarah is looking forward to working with Amna. The sound of her phone made her came back into reality, she picked up the phone and answer it.
Yes, Zarah said while placing the phone on her ears.
Ma, Miss Amna Abubakar Musawa is here to see you, Edna said through the phone.
Let her in, Zarah replied.
Zarah kept the phone and call Aisha, because they handle appointments together. Amna came into the office smiling with a lady following her. They stood up and smile back at her.
Hi, am Amna and this is my p.a Emily,she said smiling and extending her hand forward for a handshake.
It's nice meeting you Miss Amna, am Zarah MB and this is my best friend and P.A Aisha, Zarah said smiling while shaking Amna.
It's nice meeting you Miss Aisha, Amna said.
Nice meeting you too Miss Amna, you can sit here, Aisha said leading Amna to the sofa while they sat on the armchair facing the sofa.
So who's the designer, Amna said.
Well it's both of us, Zarah said.
Okay, first I want a wedding full of tradition and I want most of my dresses to be traditional and the wedding is in a month, I don't know if you can make it, Amna said.
Ofcourse we can just tell us what exactly you want and how you want the dress to be with the colours you want, Zarah said.
And also the kind of fabric you want, the designs you have in mind, Aisha added.
Well I don't even know what I want, I just know that I want something that will showcase my tradition and culture, you know being a fulani I want something that will match, Amna said.
So you don't have any design in mind, Aisha asked.
Well apart from wanting a white dresses for the nikkah and dinner, I have no other designs in mind, I just want all my dresses to be modest and also all the dresses need to have a long sleeve, Amna said.
So how many dresses are we making, Zarah asked.
Well Five I have two white dresses for the nikkah and dinner, two for kamu including a laffaya, and the last one for henna party, Amna said.
They continued discussing and before zarah know it, it was also 2pm.
Miss Amna is nice to meet you and we won't let you down, but right I have to pickup Ammar at school, I'm very sorry I have to go, Zarah said checking the time in a hurry.
She carried her car key and left the office.
Oh she did not even wait for my reply, Amna said.
We're sorry miss Amna, she was supposed to pickup Ammar by 2pm and it's already 2pm, that's why she's in a hurry, Aisha said explaining the situation to Amna.
Oh it's not a problem, since we're already done, Amna said standing up.
Thank you miss Amna for granting this opportunity to us, we won't disappoint you, Aisha said standing up.
Well thank you for your time too and it's nice meeting with you, Amna said walking towards the exit.
Zarah packed her car at the front of Young comprehensive Academy, she knows that she was late so she got out of the car and headed towards the school gate. She spotted Ammar sitting alone on a bench hugging his back.
Ammar, she said running towards him.
Mommy, Ammar said looking at her.
I'm very sorry Ammar, it won't happen again, Zarah said hugging him.
Mommy I was scared you won't come, Ammar said hugging her back.
Don't be scared mommy will always come to you, zarah said assuring Ammar.
She picked him up and headed to her car and they drove home.
Later in the night, Zarah was making pancakes for Ammar, when her phone suddenly rings, she picked up the phone and answered the call .
Assalam alaikum Aisha, Zarah said.
Wa alaikum assalam Zarah, Aisha answered.
What's up Aisha, zarah said.
So was going through the application letters and I decided to hire Rashida Bukar, Aisha said.
Okay that's a very great choice, Zarah said.
It's almost a week since Zarah's meeting with Amna and they have been in contact every day, zarah have finished sketching the dresses, she just needs to show Amna and find the suitable fabric or material for them, she sketches the Nikkah dress on a paper because she wanted to analyse it carefully.
Good afternoon ma, Miss Aisha said that I should give you this, Rashida said giving zarah a file.
Oh thank you, I need to go pickup Ammar now, so I've close for the day tell Aisha, Zarah said packing her stuffs, Rashida exited the office. Zarah closed her office and went out.
Two days later zarah send the designs to Amna and amna loves the designs. Zarah handed the sketches to design team and they started working on the dresses and they already finished two dresses.
Zarah you need to see this, Aisha said coming into the office with her phone.
What is it, zarah said looking up.
Just look at it, Aisha's said.
It can't be true, zarah said shaking her head while looking at the phone.
I can't believe it also, Aisha said pacing around the office.
How comes, the same design, every thing is the same even the colour what happened, Zarah said standing up.
I don't know I just saw this on her page on Instagram, Aisha said.
It can't be, who leaked our design, I just sketch it three days ago and I did not even give it to the design team, nobody knows about it apart from me and you, I make sure I secure those sketches how comes I've worked so hard for it, Zarah said confused and trying to control her emotions.
This means that we have a spy, someone is working for her, Aisha said.
Amina Nazifi bukar is playing games with us, taking credits of someone's work, Zarah said bitterly.
