"Jawahir! Jawahir! Jawahir! Wake up,don't let me call ya saratu"aunty basma mama's sister shouted trying to wake jawahir from her deep slumber."For Allah sake aunty basma allow me, just five more minutes"jawahir said with her sleepy voice and draw the blanket to close her face.Before she know it she was drench with water,she scrambled up quickly.she saw her best friend with a bucket in her hands trying to suppress her laughter.
"What the heck is this"she said fuming with anger.her aunty quickly draw her to the toilet and before she could speak and said "you have 15 minutes to wash up,when you're done don't come out of the toilet just call me"she said and quickly left the toilet. jawahir used the annoying liquids(her words not mine) she was given last week and took her time to scrub her body,then she wore her towel and robe then called for her aunty,aunty basma came in with the kasko of turaren wuta and smoke it all over jawahir's body.
After they finish her make up she was now dressed up in a navy blue buba and ero then wrapped with a cream lapaya.Jawahir was then sitted in mama's room with hafsa, aunty basma and her two cousins,after some minutes she hear yodeling and shouting of her relatives saying "an daura".
Minutes later she was taken to her late fathers room where she was left with mama.they sat in silence nobody was saying anything just the swings of emotion till mama cleared her throat sitting right beside jawahir she held her hands"my baby is all grown up, I could remember vividly when you were born,that was the best day of our life both me and your father,he would have been so happy and proud of you if he was alive today"mama said with a sniff "he's in a better place mama" jawahir consoled her mother or rather consoled her self.
Then mama continued "Insha Allah,I was so happy when you agreed to marry Muhammad,trust me baby he'll be the best thing that will ever happen to you Insha Allah,but you need to be patient,life is full of up and downs so my daughter you need to exercise patience,no marriage is ever complete without a fight so sabr my daughter sabr,you need to learn to forgive because we're humans and we're bound to make mistakes,its part of us,you have to trust him because every relationship is built based on trust.
From the time the tie is knotted you're not only a part of him but a part of his family so you have to adjust to the terms and condition of the family,you should find happiness in his happiness,you should share his sorrow,support him,cherish him,care for him,cook for him,dress up for him i don't need to teach you that, always keep your house and yourself clean,whenever you fight with him learn to apologize,don't argue with him or raise your voice at him,don't be stubborn I know you can be very stubborn,my daughter don't go around discussing your marriage life with people you might not know your enemy,don't come home whenever you have a fight try to solve it your self,baby don't go about complaining about your husband keep it to your self it's your little secret,I know i have raised you well.
whatever might happen in your life always remember that Allah does not burden us with what we cannot take.You see,marraige is a very beautiful bond,it's when a new chapter of your life will be unfold where your entire world will be complete.I love you so much habibty and I'll miss you"mama concluded hugging her daughter and sobbing softly
"I will miss you too so much mamana"jawahir said sobbing as she hugged her mother tightly.
After some minutes of crying mama finally consoled herself,she stood up and open the wardrobe,she brought out a cute box,then went back to where sitting before"this gift is from your father and I,we bought it a month before he died,he was suppose to give to you today but Allah has other plans"mama said in tears handing the box to jawahir.
"Thank you mama and baba May jannatul firdaus be his final abode"jawahir prayed still crying.
"Ameen ya rabb"mama replied and immediately aunty basma and hafsa entered with a salaam.
"It's time for the conveyance"A basma said as she reached for jawahir.
Jawahir hugged her mother once more crying out her heart as they walked her to the car with aunty basma and aunty hadiza (baba's sister)in both side of the car and hafsa in the front sit they cruised out of thier house to her in-laws house where the walima will take place.
