The Mansion had been more alive since the visitors arrived, perhaps because the Mansions first lady herself became aglow with the arrival of the guests. Even though she wasn't in her father's house in the heart of Minna, she felt at home. It wasn't funny when Ya Nasir arrived with an offer to take Mummy to his house. Apparently he claimed she hadn't seen his new 'house' yet.
"You can't be serious, Ya Nasir first Ya Nuhu refuses to stay with me, and now you want to take Mummy away."
Because she is the easiest person to convince, she gave in eventually.
So Rukkayya was left with the pregnant Nana. As Ahmad descends the stairs, Rukkayya's heart flutters with each step. She wasn't even sitting anywhere near the staircase, mayhap the information he had given her earlier...nonetheless she hears it...his calm graceful steps. She closes her eyes focusing more on the sound and heck she was even counting the steps till his deep warm voice said the salam.
Nana looks away from the TV screen, an impish idea comes to her.
"Mama na, I'll be back later In Shaa Allah."
He calls her Mama na because she has his Mother's name.
"Aha, Ya Ahmad hold on please, Can I take a minute out of your time?"
"Yes, please." Ahmad pauses completely clueless of what she was going to do.
"Rukkayya, come here."
Rukkayya is dumb founded but she complies. Adjusting her turquoise veil securely over her shoulder, she moves from the two sitter adjacent Nana's seat to her front.
In one quick move, Rukkayya's drape is swept off her body exposing her frame. It takes a few seconds before Rukkayya recovers from the shock but still she is transfixed to that spot. Nana could have pulled off that prank on any day but she chose the day Rukkayya wore a form fitted gown - which hugged her curves with a plunging lacy neckline that leaves little to the imagination - that she personally chose for her. It felt like the air conditioner was blasting her arms in the small off shoulder dress, that or the gaze that felt upon her body.
"So I'm about to release a new collection of clothes and I wanted to send one to Rukky but I was unsure of the colour, would you say this pastel colour looks good on her skin tone?"
The sequence, the meetings, the blueprints, new projects, weekends, family anything that can help me look elsewhere...wait what? Damn, Okaythat's it Ahmad, snap out ofit!
