Good morning🌝🌄🌅🌇

JAWAHIR

The early morning sun streamed through the curtain hitting me directly on my face. Why do I always forget to close it?

Since it's the weekend, Aayan isn't going to the office and I'm not going to school, I'm waking up around 10. If Mammie was here she would have scolded me, smack me even.

I waltzed to the loo to do my usual morning business. After taking a shower, I waltzed to the closet. I don't feel like dressing up, not that I do anyway. I'm the type of girl that could spend all day in her comfy oversized pjs, if only. I put on a black ribbed jumpsuit with round neck, leg tie waist and back hidden zip. I tied my hair in a sleek topknot and left it open. I'm comfortable with leaving my hair open around Aayan, I think he loves it that way too, because I've caught him several times looking at it. Hmm, maybe he wants to run his fingers through it like I want to do to his. Me and my crazy thoughts, smh.

I went downstairs and it's quiet like always. I was surprised to see my kitchen.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked crossing my arms under my bosom. "And where is Laura?"

"We told her leave." They simultaneously said.

"And why?"

"We'll be your cooks and waiters for the today." Nabila said.

"You look great Jawjaw." Jahara added.

"Don't I always." I said sassily. How I wish I left hair down, I'll have flip it to add more effects.

"Just please take a seat at the table and we'll serve you." Kausar sighed.

I reluctantly agreed. I met Aayan at the table. He's dressed in a simple white shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans. "You let them in." I accused.

"Yeah." He replied sheepishly.

"But I told you I wanted to cool off." I said in a whiny voice.

"I think you've done enough cooling off. And you said you didn't want to approach them first, so they came to you. Now you'll have to listen to what they have to say."

I mumbled under my breath before sitting down, three sits away from him.

Amani and Kausar wheeled in a kitchen cart. I didn't even know we had those. They placed a covered dish in front of us each. You know those stainless steel covers that you see in fancy hotels? Yeah those ones.

Amani is my waiter and Kausar is Aayan's , they removed the cover and placed them back on the wheel.

"You will be having cinnamon roll pancake stacks with creamy chocolate breakfast shake." They said as if they are professional waiters. Smh!

"Thank you." Nop, that wasn't me, it was Aayan.

They said 'bon appetite' before bowing down a bit, making me roll my eyes, then walked away.

"I hope it tastes as it looks." I muttered under my breath. Because with Kausar in the kitchen, I'm not too sure.

"Do you think it's edible?" I asked Aayan looking at the plate. It looks appealing to the eye though.

"Yeah, why not?"

"Maybe because your sister is in the kitchen."

"I don't think she cooked, I'll have put out a fire already. And she's a waitress."

"True." I stabbed the pancake with my fork bringing it to my mouth.

Not bad. This actually tastes great.

"How is it?" Aayan asked observing my reaction.

"Meh, it's not that bad. I've taste way better anyway." I said as I took a sip of the drink, which also isn't that bad.

Aayan just chuckled, shook his head, and continued eating.

"How was it?" They all standing in front of me looking as if they are about to get a remark from a professor.

"It was okay." I said, looking at my nails. They look blank and boring, I need to put lalle sef. Later, I still have the ones Lami gave me.

"Good." They said, sighing in relief. Wow! Talk about desperation.

"Well ladies." Aayan started, standing up. "While you resolve this issue of yours, I'll be heading out with Uthman."

"You have a date." I teased him, laughing a bit. He glared at me but said nothing.

"Seriously, what are you people doing here?" I asked them when Aayan left the room.

"Today is Jawahir's day, where we'll be doing anything you want. We are at your service." Jahara said.

"We'll take you to the spa, cinema—"

"Hold on Nabila. I can do all here at my house." I deadpanned. I heard Aayan snicker. He hasn't left? I looked up to see him walking out the door.

"Common Jawjaw. We are very sorry." Kausar said dejectedly. "Yeah we made a huge mistake and we hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us." Jahara added.

"Yes Jaw." Amani and Nabila chorused. "We are so very sorry. Those two girls you saw came to pick us up, they were already dressed so we couldn't say no. They've being trying to befriend us since the beginning of the semester."

"So it  was better to lie to me then." I raised my brows.

"It was wrong. And we are very sorry."

I rose up to hug them. "Never again." I warned them.

"Of course."

Like they said, today is Jawahir's day. We were pampered by the Estheticians at home. They made our hair, we had manicure and pedicure. We watched the notebook at the cinema, with few tears here and there. All this we did at home before going out.

I feel honored to know that they'll do all this just so that I would forgive them.

"So you're telling me that you're married?" Fauzy asked looking at me strangely.

We are sitting down in the court yard having lunch. She and Samira were talking about their past and current relationships and I told them that I'm married. They are finding it hard to believe.

"Yes, I am."

"For how long?" Samira inquired after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"For three months now." I said taking a sip of my Chapman drink.

"Wow! I never expected this. I'm just looking at you as this small girl who wasn't able to get admission and decided to join culinary school. No offence." Fauziya said.

"None taken." I chuckled.

"To who?"

"What?"

"Your husband?" Fauzy clarified.

"Aayan Abb......"

Samira squealed completing the sentence for me. "Abbas Abdullah. Triple A. The CEO and heir of AA construction company."

Say what now? How did she know him? And triple A? Seriously!?

"Get that look of your face Jawahir. He is all yours." She chuckled. "And I read about him in the magazine."

I shook my head. Don't tell me we also have gossip magazines.

"Ohhh yes, I remember reading about it but I thought it was a rumour." Fauziya said her eyes on her phone.

"I didn't even see it and I read everything about him."

"Samira are you obsessed with her husband?" Fauziya laughed

She gasped in horror. "No, please spare me. We don't want Jawjaw to attack me when i'm defenseless, beside my boo is enough for me. But seriously, I didn't see anything about it. Why?"

"We kept it low key." I said simply, because I don't think they have to know the real reason why.

"Well it was low key. Allah bada zaman lafiya." After muttering an Ameen we sauntered back to class.

***********

It's 4pm and school hours are over. Audu is nowhere in sight, he usually shows up before time. I hope everything is okay. I stood under a tree shed to wait for him. I felt a tap on my left shoulder making me turn.

I saw one of the girls from my class. Hasina is her name I think, she's the perfect description of a high school queen bitch. Wearing tight and revealing clothes, having minions and all those stupidity. Some people actually fear her, it makes me scoff, I mean seriously what the jahannam! I thought we left these nonsense behind. Her father is an oil tycoon of some sort, I'm not sure, anyway some are afraid that she'll destroy their lives. Mtsww, idiots.

"Yes?" I am greatly surprised because nothing has ever occurred between us.

"I happen to hear what you were telling your lousy friends about you being married to AAA." She said, rolling a strand of her wig.

"You mean you eavesdropped." I deadpanned.

"Yeah whatever. Just so you know lying doesn't suit you, how can Aayan settle down for you." She sneered with disgust.

You've got to be kidding me! Is she for reals?

I rolled my eyes but said nothing to her. I don't really have time to waste on such irrelevant people. My time is too precious for that.

"What cat got your tongue?" Hasina jeered. "Liar!" She snickered and high-fived with one of her minions.

"And who said she's lying?" An all too familiar voice said, standing beside me.

A not so cliffhanger😁😁😁
