AMAN'S POV
  I woke up in the morning to the sound of the birds chirping and the sun shining through my window.

I searched for my phone on my bed side drawer and checked the time; 12:00pm meaning I overslept.

   I got up and went into the bathroom and took a shower,upon coming out, I met our maid by the door and

I greeted "Hafsatu Ina kwana(good morning)"

She answered"lafiya lau(fine) Aman, Ummi is calling you downstairs."

I thanked her and went to get ready. I wore a long maxi pink dress, paired it with a black turban cap and went downstairs.

  As I entered the living room, I met
Ummi and Dada in the living room with a couple who from mere look are the same age as Dada.

I quickly ran upstairs to my room and searched my wardrobe for what seemed like hours before I found a matching veil and draped it round my body and went back downstairs.

I entered the living room with a salam, I greeted Dada and Ummi,  and also greeted the couple just as I got up Dada called me and said:

"Amani, this is Alhaji Usman Mukhtar and his wife Hajiya Bilkisu. I hope you remember them."

Although I couldn't remember them so I just nodded and

Haj Bilkisu said "Ai ba zata iya tuna mu ba(she can't remember us) when was the last time we met. You have grown very beautiful ma sha Allah"

and she smiled at me and i did the same. I stood up to leave the living room to go have my breakfast.
