It has been a week,a good seven days which I felt like seven years living in jail because I haven't left yarima's chambers since last seven days.Aunty kareema explained to me that it is the palace custom that the bride must not leave the groom's chamber before seven days.

It was boring really boring staying indoors no chores to do nothing just to sit like an idol but thanks to little Janan I enjoyed some of the moments.She often come to our chamber I mean yarima's chamber to keep me company.I like the girl so much cause she's so cute and innocent.

Am a little happy today cause jakadiya(head of the maids)told me to get ready cause am going to go visit my parents with yarima.

The thought of me going out with yarima wasn't pleasant at all but I decided to keep that away and stay happy I wouldn't want to go to my parents first time after marriage in a spoilt mode so I let it be.

I fold my dadduma(a mat used for praying)after I finished praying and I decided to take another bath.I bathed for for fifteen minutes.

I decided to wear a a coffee lace which was decorated with milk stones I matched it with milk alkyabba.Just when I was about to start putting my makeup I had a knock.

I hissed and went to open the door "I don't understand why members of this family like to disturb my peace" I murmured to myself before opening the door.

It was a maid I understood  she was one because she was dressed in the maids attire she bowed an greeted me.

I answered annoyed."ranki ya dade...Hajia kareema sent me to apply your makeup.

"Oh come on in".Heavy makeup isn't really my thing but I don't want to disappoint Hajia kareema she has been taking care of me so I gave in.

"I don't really like heavy makeup so make it light please".I said to the makeup artist.

"Yes ma'am" she answered.

We finished after thirty minutes.It is a simple and light makeup she used pink lipstick on my lips and smokey eye.

She waited until I checked my makeover if there is any mistakes or correction I liked the makeover especially the smokey eyes so I asked her to leave.

......
"Mama Ina kwana" I greeted my mom.

"Fine my daughter how have you been" my mom answered.

"I've been fine mama" I answered back.

"Hmmm mama you are busy with your daughter that you  forgot I even exist in the world."yarima said to my mom.

I was more than surprised to hear this from yarima.Since the day I was taken to his house as his wife up til now he never treated me with love,care or respect but his sitted here acting all innocent trying to prove to everyone one he is a gentleman.

"It's not like that my son.You know your own greetings is special."Mama said.

"So how have you been doing but please don't say you have been missing your daughter."he said jokingly.

"Oh I had been hearing some noises from up do we have any visitors."my dad said coming down from the steps.

"There you come Alhaji it's your childre I was going to come and tell you we have big visitors."Mama said.

"Sannu da sakkowa Abba (well done father)."both me and yarima said.
