Zarah's POV
Today is exactly one week to ya rahma's wedding so her kayan lefe will be brought today. Mama ordered samosa, springrolls, doughnut, cupcakes for the people that will bring it as a tuquici(reward for gifts) she, aunty, hanne, and jamila are frying chicken while I am just chatting on WhatsApp. I heard mama yelled my name from downstairs, I answered and went I saw her filming the chicken while aunty was putting the drinks in the fridge.
"Mama am here"
"So we are your maids that we will be doing something and you will just be in your room doing what only god knows right, I will seize your phone if you are not careful"mama spated
"Mama am not chatting fa am just tired and needed some rest that why"I groaned
"What did you do that you will be tired you didn't do anything today apart from eat and sleep so better go and change this clothes and wear something comfortable for working before I loose my temper on you"
"Okay"I quietly went to my room and changed into a peach tee-shirt and black jeans and went downstairs. I asked mama what to do and she told me to go and check the living room if it is presentable or not and if it is not I should do what is right. I went and checked and the living room is not bad I just arranged the throw pillows and on incense sticks. I finished and went back to the kitchen to ask for what to do next and I was told to go and arrange the food, snacks, drinks and so on in the living room. I did it and went to my room and changed into a fitted gown lace and did a very light make up. I checked the time I saw it was 2 pm, I know that definitely the guest are here so I took my veil and headed downstairs. I greeted each and everyone of them and I saw 25 boxes, 4 for atamfa, 4 for laces, 3 for materials, 4 for cosmetics, 3 for costumes, 3 for lingeries and 4 for shoes and bags. Yaya kabir has really tried. The body beautician will come tomorrow for the gyaran jikin amarya. Ya rahma is nowhere to be found in this house maybe she has went to the spa or to uncle mustapha's house (Suleiman's house). Events are starting in two days time so ya zaliha, ya Aisha, abdulsamad, Khadija, mommy and her kids are coming tomorrow. Daddy's relatives are already in his guest house the maids are cleaning mommy's room. I am going to uncle mustapha's house tomorrow. I finished eating lunch then went and prayed asr. I finished and went to and grabbed my hijab and off to the tailor. Malam ya'u took me to the tailor's shop.
"Assalamu Alaikum "I said entering the shop
"Wa'alaikumussalam"samaila tailor answered
"Good afternoon samaila"I greeted him
"How are you hajiya Zarah"he said smiling
"Am fine alhamdulliah" I answered smiling back
"Hajiya Zarah angama dinki kin kifa duka guda biyar din (all your five clothes are done)" he said bringing them out of his wardrobe
" OK thank you very much your money is settled right?
" yes ayi biki lfy"he said handing me a leather bag
"Ameen bye"I replied and left
I went home and tried all the clothes and thank God they are all perfect. I folded them and put them inside my small box for the wedding clothes, shoes, bag and everything I will need for this wedding. I went and prayed maghrib and went downstairs to eat dinner, I finished and I went to mama's room. She told me that ya nura is coming back tomorrow too. We finished talking when we heard the adhan calling isha. I went to my room and prayed. I was done praying when I picked my phone and called my friends.
