It's a Saturday morning. Nabila is still in her pyjamas with her headphones on listening to (Charm by Rema) while Amira is still sleeping. 'Wake up you sleepyhead,' Nabila said to Amira. 'Please leave me alone,' Amira said to Nabila, her eyes still closed. Nabila came close to her and dragged her blanket off. Amira stood up in annoyance and hissed. Amira went straight to the bathroom, did what she was supposed to do and came out. Nabila also entered the bathroom, did what she was supposed to do and came out. After that the girls wore their hijabs and went to Umma's room. They met Umma on her praying mat reading an Arabic book 40 rabbana. 'Good morning Umma' the girls greeted at the same time. Umma smiled, 'Morning my girls, how was your night?' 'It was fine,' the girls replied. After the greeting series the girls left Umma and went straight to Abba's room. They entered the room with Salam and met Abba (Nabila's father) sitting on a chair that is attached to its reading table. He was also reading a book. He answered their Salam with a smile and kept the book he was reading on the table. The girls squatted down and greeted him at the same time 'Good morning Abba' 'Morning my daughters, how was your night?' Abba replied. 'It was fine Alhamdulillah' the girls said. 'Do you need anything?' Abba asked 'No, we still have money,' Nabila answered. Abba nodded and said 'okay that's good, but don't hesitate to ask if you need anything please.' 'Okay Abba,' the girls replied and went back to their room.

The girls tidied up their room and went downstairs to prepare breakfast because the housemaids are absent today. They finished it by 10:00 which is the usual time for breakfast in the house. They took the food to the dining table and arranged it, where they met everyone present , Abba, Umma and Yaya Na'im (Nabila's immediate elder brother) . They greeted Yaya Na'im and sat down on their chairs while everyone ate quietly. The girls made Masa with miyan taushe, perpesun kayan cikin rago and kunun gyada for breakfast. They all ate in silence enjoying the food made by the girls.

After breakfast Abba went back Upstairs to prepare for work, Umma went back to her room too while Nabila and Amira cleared the dining table and washed the dishes. After that they met Yaya Na'im in the living room downstairs watching Extraction 2, they got seated and joined him to watch the movie. Then Yaya Na'im broke the Silence 'Nabila where were you posted for your 1 year youth service?' Nabila looked at him and replied 'I have forgotten but it's a Company here in Abuja.' 'Okay, lucky you' he said. Amira looked up and caught Yaya Na'im looking at her, immediately their eyes met, she looked away. She turned her face again and caught him looking at her for the second time she stood up and left the living room blushing shyly.

'Why won't you confess your love to her?' Nabila asked Yaya Na'im. He ignored her and focused on the movie. Nabila got up and stood in front of the TV, which obstructed his view. 'What do you want, drama queen?' he asked. 'You already know what I want, I want you to stop being a coward and propose to her, for Allah's sake you are playing with Amira's mind. She has refused all proposals waiting for yours and here you are being shy uh.' 'Okay fine will you help me out?' Na'im asked Nabila. 'Okay, here's the plan, you will take us out like a date then you can propose to her' Nabila replied. 'But where?' Na'im asked again. Nabila kept quiet and said 'you can take us to Yogurberry first then to BlueCabana Restaurant and Cafe, you can propose to her there after the proposal then we can proceed to Silverbird for a movie.' Ya Na'im nodded and said 'the two of you should get ready by 4:00 pm' after saying that he left.

4:00 pm
Nabila and Amira were dressed beautifully. Nabila wore a purple and black long sleeve gown with a black veil, black flat shoes and a purple side bag. While Amira is dressed in a black and Orange long sleeve t-shirt with a black straight skirt, black flat shoes, black veil and an orange side bag. The girls look stunning.They are standing beside a white jaguar car which is Yaya Na'im's car. 

After about 3 minutes, there he was, Ya Na'im dressed in an Ash t-shirt that had Prada written on it in black colour, a black jeans with a black and Ash Snickers and a black shades on. He looked amazing. He entered his car and the girls entered too with Nabila sitting at the front seat beside him and Amira sitting at the back seat. He turned on the car and drove off to Yogurberry.
