So hello guys. Ramadan Kareem. 🌛




**Enjoy***





*************

Shifting for hundredth time in my spot. that's it I can't do it anymore. They have to remove this henna. All my love for henna, I hate the local red henna because of the sitting and now Ya Ameenah won't just let me rest in peace. The painful and stressing gyaran Jiki (body treatment) even though my body is now shining and smells like rose milk, the stuffy bakhoor session where they'll make me enter a blanket with the bakhoor and won't let me out until they fill like and now this henna design. They really want to kill me.

Ya Ameenah and Ummah came back from their trip for buying my 'kayan daki' and won't let me rest about how my house decoration is not to talk of when Ya Zainab first went to see the house Ya Allah she almost killed me with her wows and woos. "Amal you have to see your house decoration", "everything is your best" blah blah.

Well two months have now become tomorrow. I'm getting married to who I hated but we're kind of getting along now. still I don't want to live my home, where all my childhood memories lye and go to live with a stranger, a man that I don't know all about.

"Earth to Amal" Ya Zainab said bringing me out of my revive.

"What??" I asked frustrated

"Nothing I just wanted to know why my little sis has been staring off space" she said making me smile. Ya zainab surely knows the right bottons to push.

"Ya Zainab please can you help me" i asked.

"Yeah why not why won't I help my little sis little sis? What do you want me to do for you?" she asked and i made my best puppy face.

"I want this henna removed please help me convince Ya Ameenah to let me remove it now" I said battling my lashes.

"oh no that's impossible, I can't do anything it's just two hours remaining before it gets removed"

"Ya zainab this hennah is killing me" i said.

"sorry but you have to stay for 2 more hours"

"Haba mana Ya Zainab but I stayed for two hours far why can't i just remove it in an hour time?" I asked. Gaskiya I'm tired.

"Gaskiya I'm tired Ya Zainab why must I be a bride ma self you see you can go and disturb another person's life, bye" I said shooing her away.

"Amarya!!" I heard Aisha's voice and she emerged through the door of our backyard.

"Heys don't amarya me when you're late to your own best friend's wedding henna" I said shooting her a glare.

"Haba mana it wasn't my fault, it was your baby's he won't just let his mama rest in peace" she said touching her little baby bump. This girl won't kill me.

"I forgive you for this but that doesn't mean you can come late again" I said smiling at the thought of her child.

"Yeeeeh, that's why I love you" she said hugging me.

***💋💋💋***⭐⭐⭐***

"Finally" I said with a sigh. Aisha just finished helping me wash the henna and now I'm in my room with Aisha locked so that I don't get disturbed by my cousins. That reminds me Kalthum, my favorite cousin, and her sisters are arriving today at 3:00pm from Borno and Ya Zainab with the driver is going to get them. I'm really happy. That means lots of fun even though this wedding preparation is driving me crazy.

My henna has gone red Masha Allah the henna artist can really do her job. It looks soo 💋. Now I have to go and get the black done. What a misery making the bride suffer and now I'm even the center of attention. Uggghh, I hate all this.

***💋💋💋***⭐⭐⭐***

Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone has been knocking on the door and won't say her name but anyways being the Kind soul I am I opened it.

"Cousinn!!!!!!!!" I was tackled to the ground immediately I opened. OMG Kalthum!!.

"Thume!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted returning her hug with full force.

"Omg, you said you flight would be Landing by 3?" I asked pulling her to the bed.

"Yeah, ya know I won't stay upto 3pm to arrive at my best cousin's henna ceremony so I talked mama into taking an early flight, how's everything? I saw your massage but didn't reply cause I can spoil my suprise by telling you I'll be arriving earlier" she said making me stare in awww.

"What!! Chineke! Thume!!!" Shouted Aisha who was coming outta the toilet but stopped by the door suprised before running to give Aisha a hug.

"Kehhhh!!! Don't kill my baby, kina haukane ( are you mad), you want to hurt the baby ne wai" I said glaring at her. Aisha would still be Aisha.

"OMG! You're pregnant, and this donkey headed human being didn't bother to inform me, Amal this is baddd" she said pouting at the end making me burst in laughter.

"Amal! It's time for your black henna, hurry up before I come and drag you out! " Ya Ameenah shouted making me sigh. Let this wedding just finish and let me have peace of mind.

After getting my henna done, Aisha and Thume too got thiers and we went back to my room. We gisted about life before Muhammad came to get Aisha. That man never rest without his wife near him. We watched a movie with Thume since we are the only ones sleeping in my room while the rest share the others and even Ummah's side. We danced ourselves and did pillow fight before we called it a night.
