Nigeria, Abuja.

             The house of Alhaji Abba Gorge was bustling with guests as everyone awaits the arrival of Ahmaad's family members to arrive with the kayan lefe. It has been three months since his uncles asked for Haneesa's hand in marriage and Alhamdulilah it was successful. His father couldn't come due to reasons which was still unknown to the Abba Gorge family.

People were yodeling, Laughing and talking as Maami went over board with snacks; samosas, springs rolls, meat pies, cakes, croissants, doughnuts, meat balls, potatoes balls, Shepherd pie and slices of chocolate, vanilla and red velvet cakes all around.

For the main course she made; coconut rice, fried rice, fried vegetable spaghetti, Jollof rice, pepper chicken, pepper fish, pepper meat and local food gurasa, pankasau, masa, awara etc. She had drinks; solo fanta, coke and sprite as they were the raining ones nowadays, chilled home made Chapman, iced tea, five alive pulpi and chivita. Apart from the food she made, she had packed six big coolers of food for the groom's family which they will be taking home. 

        As per the tradition Haneesa shouldn't stay at home when they bring the kayan lefe but cause they have never seen her, they requested for her to stay at home which Maami later agreed to. Many cousins and family members near and far have arrived to witness the last born of the Abba Gorge family get married.. it is going to be a grand wedding one shouldn't miss not in a million years.

Now back to the bride...

Haneesa's POV

        I tightened my grip on Amtullah's hand and she let out a yell making me loosen the grip and mutter sorry. We were the only two in my room right now as I sit in my heavy embroidered white lapaya, with my light make-ed up face and gold bangles in each wrist. Ahmaad's family have arrived and everyone was downstairs while Amtullah stayed with me until we were called downstairs.

"Are you nervous?" She asked and I nod my head. "Wallahi I am so happy for you babes, I can't believe my best friend is getting married in less than a week's time. Ohh Goddd" she yelled dramatically and I roll my eyes at her blinking away the tears.

In less than one week I'll be someone's wife, someone's responsibility, a daughter in law into someone's family, a sister in law and I'll have a mother in law. I will be off into a state I've never been to in my life, I will be spending the rest of my life with someone I barely know and strangers as my new family members. The thought alone makes me want to cry and Amtullah envelop me in a big bear warm hug.

"Shush don't cry now.. Haba amaryan Ahmaad.. Rabin zuciyan Ahmaad, his one and only. Indan bake amaryus babu rayuwan Ahmaad dan gidan wani mutum. (his other half, if there is no Haneesa there won't a Ahmaad.. A child from one someone" she said doing her sweet crazy talks making me burst out into laughter and she join me.

"Stupid girl, you are a fool. I wonder how Mubarak is coping with you this girl"

"Uhhm yaaaya iya. (there is nothing he can do) he loves me just like that" she winks sashaying her hair and I laugh more before we were interrupted by one of my cousin who said they were calling me.

"Naimah are they much?" Amtullah asked as i touch my makeup.

"No, they are just seven fah and only one is Ahmaad's aunty" she said and I turn to look at her.

"What do you mean only one?" 

"Only one is his aunty and she live in Abuja also the rest are her friends.. Wai the rest of his aunties live in other states and most of them stay in Gombe so they couldn't come due to reasons" she explained and Amtullah gives me a questioning look.

"Did Ahmaad tell you that only one of his family members was coming?" She asked and I shake my head sideways. "maybe something came up last minute, let's go already" she said adjusting the lafaya and I gave her a small smile. I know there is something in that head of hers but she just won't voice it out.. I'll ask her later In Shaa Allah.

         Immediately we came in view to the people in the living room they started yodeling and showering their blessings, some even snapped my picture while my cousins were putting me on Snapchat. (I'll catch them later)

"Ma Shaa Allah.. Tabrakallah Maa Shaa Allah" a woman dressed fancily in a purple lace said motioning for me to come closer. Maami said her name is aunty Amina, Ahmaad's aunty and I knelt in front of her.

"So this is our Haneesa, she is just as beautiful as her name Ma Shaa Allah. Ahmaad yayi sa'a. Matan shi kyakyawa. (his wife is very beautiful)" she said and I blush muttering thank you. "Sorry on behalf on your soon to be mother in law and other family members that couldn't make it.. You will meet them soon In Shaa Allah."

"It's okay" I smiled and she grabs my hand and place it on her lap. She brings out a beautiful diamond ring and slip I in my hand. "This is from your soon to be moza in law" she said pronouncing the mother as 'moza' which made everyone laugh.

"Thank you"

"Don't thank me bingel am!" she said and I blush. After few questions and many more thousand blessings from everyone they left and that's when I got to see my kayan lefe. I peeled out the uncomfortable lafaya and stay in my crop top and shorts gazing at the clothes in awe. Twelve boxes full to the brim with designer stuffs..

"Haneesa!!" Maami yelled "is this how you are going to be behaving in your husband's house? Oh Allah na. Go and wear something longer, your father and his guests will be here soon. And make sure you carry that lafaya.. Haba! Is this how you will turn your house into a junkyard? If you do so none of us will visit" she yelled scolding and everyone laughed at me while I drag my feet to my room tiding everywhere.

I will be leaving this house soon and instead of her to be crying and hugging she is scolding me more.. Oh nidai er gidan Abba Gorge.

My phone rings bringing me out of my thoughts and I answer early cause the ID says world🌎❤

           "Love of my life" he calls and I blush "one and only" I replied laying on my stomach on the bed and playing with my throw pillows. "Heartbeat" he continues "forever and ever" I whispered back "the key to my heart"   "the Ahmaad in Haneesa's life" I giggled.

"How is Haneesa's Ahmaad doing?"

"Haneesa's Ahmaad is very, very, very, happy"

"And why is that meri zindigi?" Yes he can be very cheesy sometimes..

"Because someone sent me twelve boxes of designer clothes, jewelries, shoes, handbags, purses and many more. I love youuuuuu"

"It's nothing my baby, and I love you more"

"But Ahmaad I'm vexing with you" I said sitting up right and just then Amtullah and Naimah walks in giving me weird looks, when I motioned Ahmaad the ohhhh-ed and jump on the bed snooping around our private phone call.

"What did I do?" He asked and Amtullah kept annoyingly tapping me to put in on speaker and so I did.

"Only one of your family members came which is not fair. Haba" I pouted as if he can see me.

"I am so sorry love.. Something came up wallahi"

"Is that something more important than our marriage?" I roll my eyes once again forgetting he isn't here.

"Never habibity. Listen I'll make it up to you please don't be moody Haneesa, she is not cute and fun to hang out with. Now listen i have to go but I love youuuu soooo much" he said and i blush while the two hold their laughter.

"Tell me how much you love me" I said roaming round the room in a love struck manner with those annoying pests following everywhere and it came to a point they bumped into each other's head making me laugh.

"I love you so much that I can cry an ocean for you if you leave me" he said huskily making my insides dance "I love you so freaking much that it took a huge amount of courage to stop myself from kidnapping me since the first day I met you.." He said making me giggle as butterflies float in my stomach. "I love you so much that I can buy the moon for you if you've asked for and kiss you the living lights out of you again if you've asked and drive to your house as soon as possible and elope together again that's if you ask" he said and I laugh while the two aww-ed very loudly. I remove the phone from speaker mode and he asked who it was over here.

"Don't mind the two idiots, and I love you too now bye"

"Take care of yourself for me"

"Me too" I said and end the call.

"Fucking awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"
