9days to the wedding

"Ruqayyah! You need to wake up now. Ko so kike suzo su iske ki a gidan ne? aye?" Ya husna's vexatious voice woke Ruqayyah from her peaceful slumber.

Her eyes flickered open and managed to fix them on the room's clock. It read 8:25am.

She internally screamed, wondering why the honey ya husna would be waking her up this early. But it suddenly dawned on her. Al amin's relatives were to bring the kayan lefe today.

"Ya Allah!" She muttered, briskly got out of the bed and dashed into the bathroom. Of course, not after ya husna reminding her not-so-friendly to be quick.

Since last two weeks, after her, mama and ya husna got back from Dubai to get all the furniture she needed, mama had specially hired a beautician from Adamawa, Furera, who was in her late 20's, to take care of anything that has to do with her body and hair for the whole beautification ritual weeks, so she could look super glamourous during her wedding. They performed the spa daily, in the morning immediately after waking up from sleep; and night before going to bed. Even though she hated it at first because she was literally forced by mama but by and by she gave in for her skin became super soft, always glowing and fragranced while her hair came to be more luxuriant, glossy, blackish and silky. She simply liked it!

Today being the day the kayan lefe were to be brought, she'd to leave the house to Aunty sadiya's residence as early as possible and would only be back when the guests leave.

She washed her hair throughly with the redolence shampoo furera had given her and used her strawberry shower gel to wash off her body. She'd decided to skip the morning spa since there wasn't enough time.

She came out in a pink terrycloth bathrobe and found Ameela laying her bed.

"You're such a sweetheart" She hugged her from behind.

"Hey! Let go of me, the water dripping from your hair is spoiling my clothes" Ameela complained and Ruqayyah simply did as she said, not before poking the back of her head "You're so rude"
