After about 45 minutes we finally arrived at the palace.Sound of flutes and some local drums was the first thing that welcomed us.The palace is very big,more than 50 houses can be built inside if am not exaggerating.
Everywhere was decorated with flowers and roses.We passed quarters like the servant quarters,boys quarters and the rest of all.
We arrived to the main part where the kings wives and children live.It is a big apartment with three large parts.One was for the king,the other two are for his two wives.Hajia Aisha was his first wife and the mother of yarima(prince).
While Aunty Kareema is his second wife.Yarima(prince) loves Aunty kareema so much.He calls her junior mom and shares all his secret with her."
All this explanation is being done by jakadiya(the head of female servants in the palace."We are going to Hajia karama first,later after everyone is gone she will escort you to senior queen"jakadiya said...all I could do was to nod my head.
We went to Hajia karama's side,as we entered the female servants started greeting us and singing praises to me."Oh lord!help me through this...make me fulfill the promise I took for my parents...dad especially."I murmured.
"Welcome my daughter,welcome to your permanent home."A middle aged woman said,she looks about 40 to 45 years old.She is fair and pretty."this must be aunty kareema" I guessed.
I greeted her and so did everyone.After some minutes, different kind of foods,snacks and drank were served.Because of so many eyes I couldn't eat properly.
From the comversation that was going on,I discovered that Aunty kareema is a simple and modernized woman.She does care about her status she takes everyone as one.
After some time,Aunty kareema said they would have to go now.They all bid Aunty kareema goodbye and they wished me luck in my new married life.
The room was now empty after everyone had left,only me and Aunty kareema she looked at me and said " come close to me my dear,I promise you would enjoy here at this palace.I know you were trained by your parents very well.So this is the time to show the world my dear,make sure you head to your parents advice especially your mother and all shall go well in your new life" and smiled at me
"Insha Allah(by God's grace) I will do as I was teached by my parents and I won't let anyone question their upbringing because of me".
"Good,now you refreshen up and wear this clothes okay and I will take you to senior queen before she will escort you to his highness then finally to your husband's chamber" she said pointing to some clothing on the bed and left the room.
