Dear D,
I know, I know. Lol! It seems like I never keep to my words. And it's even worse, cause now I don't have a tangible excuse, lol. I'm so sorry! I had so much fun that I forgot to write in you. Haha. Yi hakuri! Yes, I learnt that in Hausa.

Well, as expected, Fareedah came over yesterday, and she actually came quite early. We decided to do a surprise hangout in the house, for the girls. We invited two of my sisters girlfriends, and I decided to invite Kawthar, of course, after seeking her husband's permission. Fareedah invited her friend too, but I can't remember her name, as we just called her 'Jameela' (She is SO pretty!). He (her husband) was really helpful lol, he actually drove her home, to see my dad, so we could have the space to do what we wanted. And he gave us some caaasshhh!

Well, we decided to make it in the evening, obviously, cause we needed time to prepare, and her friends went to work. Her husband said he was going to bring her home 5pm sharp, so we had to rush!

We decided that it was actually going to be a big deal, so we went shopping and stuff. We bought groceries, and since we didn't have enough time, we bought a chocolate cake, and we bought ice cream! ;) ;)!

I cooked the rice, lol. White rice oh, plain white rice. And Fareedah did alllll of the other cooking. I just sat down and I was gisting her and encouraging her sha. She made roasted chicken, and then she made some fried plantain. Then she made one sauce like that, that I'm definitely getting the recipe!

Sha, by the time we were done, it was ashr, so we prayed, freshened up, then arranged the sitting room in a different way, and put on some nice songs! Thankfully, both of her friends, Tumininu and Habiba came in before her! But Kawthar and Jamila ehn? They came like 30 minutes after my sister got home!

Sha, we were waiting at the door when they got back, and when she saw her friends, she was SO happy. Honesty, it WAS worth it! She was so happy that she cried. And then at a point, we just had to sit down with her until she stopped crying. Then, we started the agenda!

Oh, while she was crying, Kawthar and Jamila arrived.

We had only one thing on the agenda, lol. It was just to tell her that she's very strong, and we see all that she's going through and that, God is going to bless her for being patient and her child is blessed to have a mother like her.

And then, there was food!!!!!!!! We served and we ate, and we just did some girl talk! Oh, her husband had some work to do inside. Sha, after we ate the meal, we watched a movie while eating cake and ice cream. I cant even remember the name of the movie lol, I wasn't even watching it, I was busy chatting with Adeel.

It was my sister's husband that dropped my Jamila at home, and my sister's friends went home with their cars, and Kawthar stayed over! Sha Sha, it was really really fun.

Kawthar and Fareedah didn't leave until this evening and honestly, I miss them already. We did the cleaning together and then we cooked together, again. We gisted, and then, we decided to talk about God and stuff.

We saw a movie this morning, and I remember that one! It's something something lies, and it was really interesting! We sha spent a lot of time together and then after we prayed ashr, they left and the house was really silent! As my sister's husband wasn't home, and she was resting most of the time.

Alhamdulilah I was able to do my Qur'anic session, though.

Verse of the day-

An-Nisa' 4:1

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَآءًۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى تَسَآءَلُونَ بِهِۦ وَٱلْأَرْحَامَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا

O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.

Yours
