She woke up and took her bath, she went downstairs and had her breakfast after she finished eating she sat down in the parlour and video called her cousin rahma.
"Rahma Abubakar ruma wake up"she shouted as soon as her cousin's face showed on the screen.
"Mumu I'm already awake" she replied rolling her eyes.
We chatted a little bit, planning on the wedding, the clothes to wear, the makeup artist, the henna artists and all that.
"I will call you later" rahama said before cutting the call.
She went back to her room scrolling through her instagram and taking a bowl of ice cream savouring the taste when ya fatima called her from downstairs . she came back home because her husband ya fadil traveled to London on a business trip and she is 5 months pregnant.

"Yes I'm coming" she said adjusting her veil while moving downstairs.
"Look who is here to see you" ya fatima muttered sitting on the couch and munching on her cupcakes.

"Rahmaa" she shouted and hugged her cousin.

"Suprise"rahma wacked her head.

"Adda Aisha you only saw adda Rahma ba"abdallah said feign hurt.abdallah is her 11 year old cousin, he is the one following Rahma and he is the last born of uncle abubakar. 

"Ayyah my sweet abdallah I'm sorry this your bigheaded sister blocked you"she replied hugging and dragging his cheeks.

"Incase you don't know I'm still standing here"rahma said rolling her eyes while she walked upstairs to mummy's room while abdallah and Aisha tailed behind her.

They exchange pleasantries with mummy and left to Aisha's room leaving her with abdallah.

Rahma jumped on the bed as soon as she entered and removed her veil and kept her bag aside when her eyes set on the ice cream Aisha was taking earlier.

She grabbed the ice cream and started taking it.

"Hey! You didn't ask if you can take that and I didn't ask you to touch it" Aisha said sitting on the bed.

Rahma was about to talk when abdallah interrupted.

"Adda Aisha mummy said you should come downstairs to the guest room, the mai gyran jiki is here"

"Okay I'm coming"
She tied her veil loosing on her head and went downstairs not before looking for her cousins trouble.

She greeted the woman and sat down on the chair they started with the halawa and then the other thing.

When they finished she gave her something to be bathing with and some to rub on her body when ever she takes her bath.

The woman is really fun to be with she is a kanuri and her name is hannatu and she learned that they are going to be doing this until her wedding day.

the halawa was painful because she has alot of hair on her skin.

When they finished she escorted her to the door.

She went to her room and took her bath as hannatu told her to do.

She came out and sighted rahma on her bed on the phone blushing, she assume she is talking to her boyfriend anwar and she was right.

Anwar is faruk's friend they met one day when faruk came with him and on that they rahma came to our house, soo they exchanged numbers and that is how it all started.

"Ermm rahmatutuu see the way you are blushing" Aisha teased

She just whispered I will get back to you later.

When rahma finished talking they had their launch together gisting and teasing each other.

"So he said he is going to send his elders to uncle Abubakar's place"Aisha said sipping her Chapman.

"Yes but I told him it should be after your wedding"

"Yaayy can't wait" Aisha squealed and jumped.

Rahma sat down on the vanity table and applied powder, kohl and a little bit of lipstick because anwar told her he is coming.

She sprayed a little perfume and wrapped her veil when he called and ask her to come out.

"Please tell mummy, bye don't miss me soo much" she said before running out.

The wedding is getting closer and he is always busy from office work to checking his house that is under construction.

The house is almost done it's only the painting and something here and there.

He just came back from the office and went straight to mammies room to greet her.

He greeted her and the talked for a little while mostly about the wedding arrangement.

She asked him to go and freshn up and come down stairs to eat, because she knows he doesn't like eating in time.

He came out and got dressed in a ash jallabiya and plugged his phone to charge.

He went downstairs to eat, it was waina (rice cake) and vegetable soup with zobo (hibiscus drink), he ate to his satisfaction before going to the parlour to watch.

He saw nanah and Khalifa watching nicklodeon so he allowed them.
As soon as nanah saw him she shouted"yaa falukk" and hugged the life out of him.
And then she sat down on his laps and continued watching.

"Nanah get down I want to pray" he whispered in her ears.
But she is already deep asleep so he picked her and layed her down on mammie's bed and he went to pray magrib salah in congregation.

When he came back he went to daddy's parlour to discuss. They discussed a little when mammie shooed him away saying she's going to spend them with her husband.

Sometimes he will till be wondering if he and his wife will be just like baba and mammie because at their age they behave like teenagers who are in love with each other, they never seize to show love and affection to each other.

They do things most old Nigerian couples don't do even in front of us they don't care.

He just smiled and went straight to his room to rest avoiding nanah's troubles.

He unplugged his phone and face timed his shatuu, they talked and talked until she slept off.

He didn't decline the call he continued watching her beautiful face which is glowing until he fell asleep too.



Wish you a blessed and pleasant Jummah. May this valuable day bring satisfaction in your heart and fill your life with the endowments of Allah! Happy Jummah. May Almighty endows His numerous favors on you and your family on every Friday!

Sorry it came late, this love ehnnn, can't wait for the wedding oo, and another wedding too rahma and anwar.......
