(On Hold)The burning candles in our hearts

17

The house has been very busy this few days. The wedding date was fixed two days back. Two weeks after eid. Ramadan is starting next week In shaa Allah.

The "lefe" team like Aisha had named them were leaving on the first day of ramadan. The lefe team were Mummy, Adda zee and their father's divorced sister (aunty Jamilah). She had been married twice but it all ended horribly but she is still hopeful and pessimistic about finding her prince in a shining armor. The lefe team would first go for umrah before they proceed to UAE to get the kayan lefe(gifts for the bride to be)

Their aunty came in from Adamawa. You know all these loud annoying aunties that talk about every little thing. She was that type. They had this loud family. Since their mother was traveling she asked two of her cousins to come stay at home with her children. Aisha told her she would take care of everything but she refused saying Aisha wasn't responsible enough to handle all the food cooked and taken to the mosque before iftaar through out ramadan. She definitely needed some hands.

Daddy was also traveling to Germany for his business. So basically it was going to be an almost empty house this ramadan.

"Hello Khaleel" Aisha said putting the phone on handsfree. Her hands were wet she just got out of the shower.

"Aeesh how are you this morning" he asked her.

"I am fine alhamdulillah. Just going crazy this morning. The whole house is upside down I tell you."

"Aww sorry. I hope you had enough sleep"

"Yes I did. You should come over today. He is traveling to Germany tonight.. I keep telling you I know its nothing serious." She said referring to her father.

"Hmm you will never understand but I will come over in an hour in shaa Allah." He said

"Alright. What are you up to" she asked him

"Aishatu! Where are you?" Aunty jamilah came in yelling.

Aisha quickly wrapped the towel properly around her tiny body.

"What is it? What are you hiding? Is it your small chest? You have nothing to hide my dear"

Aisha quickly ended the call. She didn't expect that from her aunty.

" haba anti jamilah. I was talking on the phone when you said that."

"Whats my problem? Is it your boyfriend? It's only fair on him to know that you have nothing on your chest."

Aisha just shook her head not knowing what to say to her aunt.

"But don't worry I will give you mine when your wedding comes just for kwalliyan biki"

"Anti Jamilah please stop." Aisha said

"Toh I have stopped. Where do you keep the kasko I want to start frying the mase(waina i dont know what they call it in English lol)

"It should in the other store near the BQ. Let me come help you check"

Aisha followed her aunt they saw the kasko and started frying the mase( its called mase in fulfulde) . After some minutes she got a call from khalil.

"I am here" he said

"Okay I am coming right away" she told her aunty she was coming back. She met him at the gate

"Why didn't you come in? Yau ka zama baqo ne?( are you a visitor today)" she asked him as they came in

"Its called being a gentleman." He smirked

"Who is a gentleman man? You? Better stop washing yourself my friend" she said back

They met her mother on her way out with Adda zee. Ibrahim greeted them "mummy good morning"
