AWAITED MOMENTS

chapter 4

We continued on our chit chat when I heard my name being called

"Please I will Iike to call on the bride's sister Barrister Mahnoor S Suleiman to come give us a speech"I was jolted,I looked at rukky cause I know she's behind this I have already told them am not gonna say any speech but they still went ahead and give my name.

Why me?

I gave her a deadful glare before standing up,I found myself walking slowly,so many eyes were on me, especially the guys

Ya Allah

I clamed up the stage and the MC gave me the microphone, I waited for a moment first before speaking,I read some surahs in the Qur'an and then proceeded

"Good day ladies and gentlemen, you are all well come,I stand here before you to give a little speech to my baby sister,for those of you who don't know me my name is mahnoor and am the bride's senior sister, even though some people think she's the eldest because of her body size,i know this day would come,I just never thought it would come this fast.being your sister is such a joy even when you're hard to deal with sometimes,it still looks like a dream to me,my little sister is all grown up, she's no more the little girl that follows me around,no more holding her hands while she's afraid,she have gotten herself a prince charming strong enough to stand up for her at anytime, brother in-law please take good care of her for me" i said tearing up and then i smiled again

"If anything bad happens to her I won't hesitate to wrathfully damage your cute face"and everyone bust out laughing"my sister can be so annoying a times that me myself feels like living the house for her,but believe me she's not that bad she's very sweet to live with when you get to know her better,I pray your marriage will bring more openings to your success,I pray that Allah bless you and give you Joy, happiness, good luck, well being in your marriage life and lastly don't disappoint your parents please, happy married life brother in-law, happy married life baby sis"

All you hear is hands clapping and loud voices shouting,I was trying to come down from the stage when my heart beat decided,this is the time to meet my mama,my little 3years old Aabilah was running towards me shouting"mama,mama"

Ya Allah must you make it visible for everyone to know that am your mom

I opened my hand and she engulfed me into a very tight hug holding my neck, almost stopped me from breathing,I never know she's this powerful

"wow can you see the love between a mother and her daughter this is cute please give them a round of applause"said the mc

Ya Allah must he announce it

I waited for her to let go of my neck,but it's like she's not Willing to do that so I have to stand up and walk through the crowd carrying her in my hand.i can see some men starring at me as if I got four heads, some having that expression of are you sure this girl is married.

Whatever

I got to our table and seat her down,she started her troubles that she wants to go out,like seriously this girl wants some beatings, Fatima gave her some sweets and she kept quiet.

"Did you notice the look some of the guys were giving you"zainab ask teasingly

"Yeah so you saw that too,like they just can't wait for the event to finish so they can flitt with her" rukky added

"I actually don't care about the way they looked at me, even if they have taking weed they wouldn't come talking to a married woman,cause they can see my daughter in my hands"I said rolling my eyes

They all busted out laughing at what I said"don't forget you're a single mother baby girl"Khadija said

"Ok enough of all that, let's listen to what is going on please"I said getting filled up.

the event went on and it already 10:30 they haven't finished,our friends told us they are living so we walked them out of the hall, everywhere is bright because of the white bulb's, everyone of them headed to their cars and also made a promise to come for the walima tomorrow.I handed Abilah over to rukky and headed to the washroom,while they went back to the hall.

"Hey"a guy waved at me while I was trying to go into the hall,I pretended as if I didn't hear him

"Brrst"he called out again,why does he not understand that I am not interested,I don't have energy to deal with this kind of people

"Am a married woman please"I said getting irked before going into the hall,I went round to greet some of our relatives,my father's sister gwaggo mariya was giving me weird looks.

My god

I just hope she's not coming up with any bad idea in her mind,I greeted her and she answered with a "hmmm"which I was not bothered about,I left their and headed to my siblings who were taking pictures with the bride

"Yeer Mami Abilah I was looking for you,where have you been?my sister in-law sharifah said dragging me to the crowd where pictures are being taken.

So let's introduce Aunty sharifah

she's my brothers wife Yaya mansur, she's beautiful masha Allah and we're also on good terms with her, she's my advisor apart from rukky and my sister Yaya humaira

She gave birth to a baby boy Shahid two months ago,which made Abilah to go stay with them, that girl's love for baby's is just something else.

"Easy sweetheart I went out to my friends and also went round to greet some relatives before they start saying you don't have respect for your elders"

"Ooh so let's take some pictures, don't even protest if not"

"If not what?I asked in a tempting way

"Come on stop acting like some 90year old woman mana we are snapping and you aren't gonna say anything"she said in a commanding tone,we snapped so many pictures with family and friends with the bride especially.

People has started living already,but me and rukky aren't going until everybody is gone, Abilah made a fuss of not going with aunty sharifah so she's with me,I tryed to make her sleep but she's not willing to which is pissing me up,cause she being awake by this time is a problem,we finally did all the necessary things so it's time for us to go.

"Mahnoor am really exhausted wallahi"

"Same here rukky Yaya is out side let's go home,we haven't prayed magrib nor isha"

She responded with a nod before getting up,we meet Yaya Junaid talking with a friend so we greeted him, and went to the car to wait for him,cause it's too late we can't drive is dangerous

"I need to call baby when I get home,he has being calling me but the noise in the hall won't let me hear him"

"Is it Yaya jabir you're calling baby? I asked stunned she was trying to answer me when Yaya junaid came into the car,so we kept quiet.
