Chapter 47

Zainab's POV

"This necklace is gorgeous It's like it is made from real diamond fa! It's not fake." My mother exclaimed.

The traditional kayan lefe was brought just yesterday by Samira and nusaiba, Yusuf sisters and I must say these women know how to spend money. what will I use all these stuff for? They brought two sets of big luggages filled with different kinds of item starting from clothes that would last me a lifetime and unnecessarily expensive jewelry. What will I use jewelry for.

"So what are you giving me as your baby sister." Maryam asked me batting her eyelashes tryna look cute.

"But these stuff is too much abeg who send them." I scoff. They overdid it. We required just a set of luggage filled with the necessary items but they filled two set of luggages. Rich people!

"I'm so happy she's marrying into a family that is not stingy with money. Just look at all these stuff." My stepmom exclaimed.

"That family gives me joy even if they were late in bringing the kayas seeing all these now is worth the wait." Sally gushes. "So what are you giving me as your sister."

"Everyone calm down Asabe and I will give everyone something from this." My mother said.

My sisters groan simultaneously. They know if it was up to me I'll share all the jewelries among them because I don't value them much no matter how cost and shinning it is. People that say diamonds are girls best friend should think again and try Nutella are girls best friend.

I really appreciate Yusuf and his family spending so much on me but truth be told I'm never comfortable with things that are so expensive I feel its all vanity. Not that I have anything against jewelry but I'm not really a fan. Now what will I use them for?

As if reading my mind my mother said. "these jewelry you'll wear them on the wedding."

My sisters and I shared a knowing look, my mother going make this wedding a big one.

"So when is your bridal shower?" Sally asked.

"Uhmm.. how about never." I answered with a smirk.

"Tarh! You lie. Yaya Amina and I have really planned for your bridal shower. We have even started making stickers which one are you now saying never."

Before I could answer Sally, Maryam chip in. "How will she not say never so you guys were planning the bridal shower without consulting a whole Maryam, Mamie the definition of awesomeness and number one event planner but most importantly the most brainy one among the Abbas siblings."

Sally gave Maryam a bored look before turning her attention back to me. "I don't care if you want a bridal shower or not but you are having one."

"You can host it but I won't be attending."

"Oh you will sisto even if I have to gum your nyash on a chair. I would have huff and catwalk out of here since I've made myself clear but I want to steal some of the items your fiance brought." She winked at me and went to sit down beside my mother.

These days I have been under a lot of pressure because my mother is planning a big wedding for me. Although Yusuf sister asked to be in charge of my dresses and make-up which I agreed to because she's doing it for free so how can I reject.

"Psst come here." I turned to see my sister Amina referring me.

I walked to her and she dragged me to her room.

"He proposed." She announced breathlessly.

Since I didn't know who proposed a said an uncertain 'okay'. She just left a relationship so I didn't make sense how someone is proposing.
