Her long dark brown hair was all over her face, mermah was sitted in the middle of her messed up bed, you did think her hair color was black but a good look at it will tell the exert color.

"Common mermah get up"
sabat said to her child opening the curtains for light. The room was painted deep purple with stickers all over. A white wall book shelf over her pink study table.

Mermah was never a morning person which calls for her attitude earlier that morning her mother came immediately before her alarm and woke her up from her beautiful sleep.

"Mermah!"
Sabat yelled in a warning tone, she wouldn't want herself been blame by her mother inlaw because of her daughter.

Rolling her eyes at the shut door after mermah arranging her daughter's room.

She made sure she brought a beautiful Ankara gown from her daughter's closet, that also covered. she left to her room to also get ready.

Mermah came out of the loo still wearing a long face, a white bathing rob around her figure she moved to the dresser to get her dryer, she needs to dry her hair.

Her eyes fell on the Ankara gown her ummah brought out for her to wear, not again she murmured.

Knowing fully well mermah will never get dressed in the clothes on her own.

Sabat left for mermah's room, she sighted her sitted on the bed using her phone as if they didn't have any thing to do.

"Ziyah!!"
Sabat called sternly.
Mermah real name was ziyah she was just called mermah.

"What are you still waiting for"
sabat asked hands placed on her waist dramatically watching over her daughter like she was some prey.

"Ummah..."
Mermah started but sabat was quick to cut her off.

"I don't need any complain mermah just get dress"
she commanded
"you should be down stairs in less than ten minutes"
sabat turned and left the room.

Mermah had no other option than to get dressed in the blue Ankara gown her ummah was also dressed in the same type of clothes the same design.

Mermah actually looking beautiful in her Ankara gown it fitted her curves perfectly in the right places.

"Good morning Daddy"
mermah greeted her father with a wild smile on her face as if she wasn't the one wearing a long face while ago.

"How was your night baby"

The father and daughter chatted away while eating there breakfast.

The small family left for Alhaji Mustapha house (ya danjuma)
Who was mermah father brother, his daughter was going to get married and her kayan lafe will be brought that same day.

The house was filled with people Mostly his wife's relatives, those people who like looking down at people but could dey look down at sabat who was the richest man wife.

On sighting sabat mommie stood up at mist all her rich friends and englufed her in a hug.

"Good morning"
mermah greeted the woman sitted across the living room, one look at them you will all know how rich they where.

" Seriously this bag I bought $145 us dollars"
a fair plumb woman said showing off her golden teeth.

"Yes they deducted it from my salary until I settled them"
The woman added again after another woman asked her how she paid it.

She can fake everything in this world, sabat sat across the people listening to a they where saying.

Her eyes looked deeply into his, he was dressed as always in a sweat pants and a matching shirt his hair naturally waxed because his mother was fulani.

His dark skin so beautiful and flawless which she admired and love about him, unlike most boys who go for bleaching there skin.

A look at him could get your breath away, he was the perfect example of arewa playboy his looks kills; he fine die.

"Baby you didn't inform me you where also coming"
