Najma ✅

Chapter one ✅

"Mika min gele na(pass me my veil )" I ordered Haifa.

"No please, I will not give" she teased as she passed, me my veil, as ya Imran walked into the room.

"Walahi you guys should get ready quickly because I will leave you and go. The wedding reception has already started " Ya Imran said, as he adjusted his babban riga and went out of our room.

By the way I am Najma Muhammad, I have 7 siblings + me: Ya Maryam, ya Imran, ya Samira, ya haneef , ya Hannan, Haifa, and aliyu. I am in my last year in high school and I am a science student. We live in Kaduna and I am from Maiduguri.

"Ya Maryam get ready you are the amarya fa'' I said passing her the humra(a traditional perfume used by most Maiduguri women ).

Her henna looked really nice especially the one on her feet and I had one made on my palms too but I wish I could have one on my feet too but I couldn't because based on the tradition I couldn't unless I was a married woman.

After that, I put her clothes in the kabasa also known as kaffas which is used for steaming clothes with bakhoor.

"Najma " mama shouted.

"na'am" I answered back as I rushed downstairs.

"Call Maryam and send her to my room," she said and I went and called her.

I do not know what the heck happened in the room cause aunty Fatima caught me eavesdropping so she pulled my ears playfully and said "kin chika gulma".

Aunty Fatima has been my person since I was a child cause she is just 27 and she stays at our house since she is not married.

"At last we have arrived" Haifa shouted after a long boring drive which made everyone laugh. Haifa and Aliyu do not go along well so when they fight they make us laugh.

There was loud music all over the place and Big H was taking the photos there. I wasn't really a fan of his photos cause I like George Okoro's photos more. I was so happy when I saw Maryam.

She is my best friend and our friendship started since jss1. I know my life will be boring without her since we will separate but I hope I will get a friend as cheerful and kind as she is, not that I'll forget her or let go of the friendship we had for years.

The music was on and we danced like crazy. I was the best dancer in the family so Haifa and I rocked the dance floor and the audience's eyes were on us. I dance so well that I did not know when my veil fell I still continued to dance. After all the dancing the wedding was over and people started to go home so you know what will happen. Everyone including my shy cousins came to dance we all danced including my brothers and male cousins.

I went to drink water because I was thirsty so I met this weirdo who unfortunately was my stepmom. Oh, I forgot to tell you I have one and maybe it is because of her wickedness that she doesn't have children.

"Ke baki iya gaisuwa bane( you do not know how to greet)" she barked at me.Oh no here she goes again I thought. I just ignored her because if I were to answer her she will regret the day she was born. As I was walking she held my arm tightly and turned me around.

"ke baki da kunya ko Maman ki bata koya miki tarbiya ba ko (you are disrespectful right, you mom did not teach you any morals right, "she told me as she received a stern look from me.

"Ke baki wayo, har kina da hannun taba ni . Kada ki kara taba ni seka ce ke zaki iya tarbiyar(you do not have sense, you even have the right to touch me as if you can teach morals ) ". I said as I hissed and walked away.

"Do not mind her fa" Ya Hannan said cause she overheard our conversation.

"Ki ji min Mata har zata ce mama na bata iya tarbiya ba(look at this woman she even has the right to question my upbringing) I said because I knew my stepmom would hear me.

"Najma come let's dance mana" ya Hannan said.

" This woman has spoilt my mood" I answered her looking infuriated.
