HIGHNESSES

Capter 2

The palace stood proud, full of majesty,everything around it shouts 'Power',different colours and flowers with the most amazing scents beautified the environment,each section and corner well designed and defined , everything about it was a sight to withhold.

So many royals and commoners are trooping in and out of the palace for preparation of the coronation, meanwhile, servants are on their toes busy running in and out to make sure everything and everyone is being taken care of.

Badamasi (BabanGida) ,the head of the male servants stood at ease in his native attire with his bald head shining ever bright and his
sharp eyes darting everywhere like an eagle looking for its prey,from his lips came out orders,orders and orders..commands everywhere and servants rushing to fulfil the commands and orders of their master.
 
"Take it Easy" Jakadiya intervenes, "ah ah ,ba sauki(its not easy)she said as she took in the sight in front of her ,every dish cooler down to calabash has something in it to entertain the eyes and sweeten the tongue,  she was impressed, within two hours,everything was done according to plan.

"Now that's what we call Organization", she thought.

Ranki Shi Dade(may you live long)... Badamasi said in his strong voice with a hint of respect, "sannu da fitowa"..he greeted.
She gave out a hearty laugh  " badamasi see how shiny your head is,no wonder the entirety of work is done in time,ideas do come from above..she said pointing his head.

Badamasi grimaced but quickly gave a lip tight smile, "Jakadez(the way he calls her)please,not on the coronation day" he said.

She laughed and passed him heading directly to the main hall to see how things are arranged.

She stood watching everything with her beautiful big eyes,reciting her tasbeeh,taslim,tahmeed and takbir softly,pressing her counter continuously.. Nothing materialistic in this world matters to her ,she liked everything simple and good ,it didn't have to be complex and demanding on top of that expensive, though,somethings tend to be expensive when they are good.

She tilted her head to the right struggling with her alkyabba(long beautifully designed native Royal dress)to cover her face and body very well. She silently left the adjoining room to the coronation hall to have some fresh air and silence, "me time" she thought, the other ladies of the high ranking emirs and chiefs are too noisy for her liking- they do interrupt her Dhikr(remembrance).
  She pouted when she heard the chief announcer announcing the arrival of her father and brother. "He will look for me any moment,like forcing me to come early wasn't enough".. She thought.
