Eid Mubarak guys!!!

"Pass me my cap!" Aaban said

Layla picked up his zanna bukar from the bed and placed it on his head.

"Who said you should put it?" He asked fixing it before taking a mirror pic which ended up with Layla behind making crazy poses

"Lulu you're a cat!" He shook his head about to delete the pictures

"Please don't delete it for mama's sake" She said which made him sigh

She fixed her veil and they sauntered into the main house.

They exchanged pleasantries before serving themselves the boiled potatoes and vegetables with pepper chicken and a cup of tea/coffee

"Nawaly gashi" I handed her five thousand.

"Thank you" She smiled.

"Layla sai yaushe?" Mama asked

"Wallahi I don't know" I smiled.

"Toh sai anjima" She said as Aaban came in with baba.

"Layla come" Baba said and I sat down on the carpet next to his couch

"Have it" He handed me one bundle of 1000 naira.

"A'a baba nagode" I stood up.

"Layla" He looked at her with the 'dont refuse a gift' stare.

(A/N):He is your uncle for God's sake!

"T-thank you" She collected it

They said their goodbyes and left the house to Layla's.

"Aaban" Layla called but he was busy listening to a song through his stupid earpiece so she removed it.

"What's wrong baby?" He said and she gasped.

"I was singing the song's lyrics what's wrong?" He said.

"Uhm nothing it's just that you've passed the house!" She said.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" He turned around

"I have been talking to you but you were too engrossed in your phone" She rolled her eyes.

"How is your girlfriend?" She asked.

"She's fine.Why did you ask by the way?"

"Because she didn't answer your call yesterday" She swallowed her laughter.

"She didn't answer because she was busy" He shrugged

"Huh? If she wasn't online then you wouldn't have called her" She mocked

"Shut your mouth or else I'm going to drop you here" He threatened

"Sorry Mr Ocean" She smiled and zipped her mouth which he found really cute

They stepped out and sauntered into the house.

"Ya Layla!!! I have been waiting for you" Zee said

"Zainabu go gaisuwa babu" Aaban shook his head jokingly

"Ina kwana Yaya Aaban" She smiled

"Lafiya" He said.

She sauntered into Ya Kameela's room only to find her getting ready for their 'Girls day out'

"Ya Kamee I'm here" Layla said

"Oh Layla I've been waiting for you oya stand up let's go" She picked up her clutch and they walked out together.

"Is Ya Faree joining?" Layla asked

"Her husband won't allow her oo" Zee laughed.

"Let's go and pick up Falisha first" Layla said and they nodded.

"Ya Kamee please can I drive the car? It's been long since I drived" Layla pouted standing in front of her sister.

"Yeeeeee you just said it's been long and you expect me to give you my baby? Nahhh you're not okay" She said.

"Okay! Okay! Naji oya let's go" Layla said

"You didn't even say goodbye to your husband and you're not going to see him for two days" Zee said.

"Yessss she's right oya go to Fahad's room he is there" Kameela pushed her back inside the house.

**********

She walked into her brother's room and met her husband and brother engrossed in their phones.

"Hey uhm" She looked at Fahad.

"Ohhh I grab you want to say bye bye oya natafi" He teased and walked out.

"Uhm Aaban till a day after tomorrow?" She asked

"Yes,what do you need?" He looked up from his phone

"Nothing I just came to say bye" She turned to leave

"Bye no good bye kiss?" He asked

(A/N):When did this one start?

"What???!" She turned around quickly.

"Uhm" He pouted his lips and she ran out quickly while he laughed his heart out.

"You're already missing her I see" Fahad said.

"Fahad let's go and play football" He changed the topic.

"Sureeee when was the last time we played sef" He said

I walked into his closet and picked up a camo tank top and a basketball shorts.

"Your wife is going to drool if she sees you hmmmm" Fahad said

"Alhaji Major let's go" Aaban said

"Hmmm Mr Ocean" Fahad laughed

"How did you know that name?" Aaban smiled cause it sounded like it was her saying it.

Her smile is very cute just like my baby's.

"I heard your wife calling you that" He said.

"Huh?"

"Stop forming innocent tashi mutafi" He said.

**********

"Ya Kamee you're a rough driver!" Layla said.

"Ya Lay so because you live in London and you guys don't do rough driving dayyis why you're doing shakara for us" Zee said

"Abegii shurrup" I collected the visitors card from the gate of Sheraton hotel where Falisha and her family live.

"Do you know her room number?" Kameela asked.

"Nah all I know is that they are in the executive floor" Layla said.

"Oya let's go" They walked into the reception.

Layla was about to call Falisha when she felt like someone was staring at me so she turned around and what she saw made her heart skip a beat

It's a guy wearing a black hoodie,black sweatpants,black socks,black shoes and is wearing something to cover his nose down

She was about to stand up when the guy ran away.

"Layla come let's go Falisha is here!" Kameela said.

"Oh"

"Heyyy" Layla said

"Hello Layla let's go" They walked out.

"Sooo girls! Where should we head to?" Kameela asked.

"You know that Qamrah's dinner is tonight and we have to do our make up by 4 being part of the bridesmaids" Layla said.

"Yesss it's just 11 madam" Falisha said.

"Ahh someone is grabbing Nigerian accent small small" Kameela laughed and Falisha hid her face.

"Let's go to a restaurant and grab some things cause I'm very hungry then we'll go to the shopping mall" Zee said.

"Yeah let's do it" Kamee squealed and Layla smiled.

They stopped at Drumsticks and bought four beef shawarmas and four drinks

"What again?" Falisha asked.

"Nothing let's go to the shopping mall" Layla said.

"Which mall?" Falisha asked.

"Jabi Lake Mall?" "No! Too crowdy"

"Next Cash and Carry?" "Noooo too crowdy as well"

"Miniso?" "Abeg next! It's not everything that they have"

"Ya Kameela you're a pain in the neck!" Zee said.

"What of Dunes?" Kameela said.

"Dunes is also crowdy" Zee glared.

"You guys let's go you're wasting our time" Layla said and they hopped into the car.

Layla's Pov

"Kameela I picked it before you!" I dragged the LV bag to myself.

"Nooooo I'm the eldest!" She dragged it back

An idea popped into my head and I smirked and matched her leg.

"Ouuuuch" She released the bag.

"Good for you!" I smiled and ran away.

"I hate you!" She shouted.

My leg hit the shopping cart which made almost fall.

I raised my head up and our eyes clashed!

Tasha!

"What is she doing in Nigeria? She's supposed to be in Ghana right?" I said.

I walked to where I saw her but she was nowhere to be found

Am I imagining things? But her of all things! First it was that guy and now her!

"Layla we've been looking for you were done let's go!" Falisha dragged me to Ya Kameela's place.

We payed for the stuff and walked out.

"Let's eat our shawarma now please" I said.

We sat down in the car and turned on the A/C then I connected Zee's iPhone X max to the bluetooth and played 1 milli by Davido

"This shawarma is amazing! When was the last time I had shawarma from Drumsticks?" I said.

"Nigerian shawarma is amazing! I have never had one" Falisha said.

"Good! Let's go to the spa" Zee said.

"Hajiya pimples" I laughed.

"Ya ki daina banaso and I don't have pimples!" She pouted

"Okay" I said.

3:12pm

"Ya Layla come! We have to go" Zee shouted.

"Cominggggggg" I walked out of the make up studio cause I was the last to have my make up on

We hopped into the car and drove to Sheraton hotel and Falisha took her dress before going to my house.

"Oh Ya Layla you're a hot cake!" Zee complimented.

"Thanks babe!" I winked

I wore a dark blue fitted lace gown and a black silk with blue hills and my make up was done by Monette beauty.

I was busy twirling my dress when Ya Faree came in

"Yo sis!" I shouted

"Wow Lay! You're looking hot" She complimented.

"Thanks maman baby but why are you here?" I asked.

"Nothing oo I just came to see you" She said.

"Awwwwwww love you so much fave" I kissed her cheek.

"You guys Anwar travelled to Kaduna and he's coming back tomorrow night you guys can come for sleepover"

"Yayyyy!" I squealed.

"Falisha you'll join ba?" Ya Faree said.

"I don't think so" She smiled.

"Why?" Ya Kameel asked.

I understood her so i looked at Ya Kameela and she kept quiet.

It was hard to convince her to even go out with us.

6:00pm

The bridesmaids and groomsmen stood at the entrance of the hall as everyone was getting into place.

We danced into the hall with the bride and groom in the middle.

Aaban's Pov

4:00pm(3 hours to the starting of the dinner)

I sat down on one of the dining chairs drinking water

"Assalamualaikum" A familiar voice salaamed into the house.

"Waalaikumusalam" I answered.

"Fadoul?" I said.

"Yes it's me I came to give you the IV for the dinner cause you can't enter without it" He said.

"Oh thank you" I said.

"You're welcome where's Layla?" He asked.

"She went out with her sisters"

"Okay I have to go now" He said.

"Without having anything? Come on man!"

"Sorry I have to go and get something from Anty Falmata" He said.

"Okay"

"See you at the venue"

6:07pm

I dressed up in a black getzner Shadda and sprayed my Tomford then I wore my Rolex watch and put on my dark shades.

"Ya Aaban where are you going to? You look handsome by the way!" Nawal said.

"Thank you and wherever I'm going to us not your business hajiya" I unlocked my car.

"Ehem dama I wanted to ask you for something" She scratched the back of her head

"What is it?" I asked

"Uhm I have been using this phone since it was the lastest please can you change it for me?" She asked showing me her iPhone X

"Why didn't you ask father?"

"Uhm he's not going to change it for me" She pouted.

"Hm which phone do you want?" I asked.

"11 pro max" She said nervously

"Hmmmm okay which color?" I asked and she sqeauled.

"Thank you thank you thank youuu! I love you sooooooo much bro and I want color black" She said.

"Okay I'll buy it for you before I leave" I said before driving off.

**********

As soon as I walked into the hall,almost everyone's eyes are on me but my eyes are staring at another person.

Layla!

She looks so beautiful MashaAllah!

I removed my shades and walked to Fadoul's place to apologize for being late.

"Sorry man! I'm a little bit late" I smiled.

"It's okay Aaban even though I'm still a little bit angry" He said with a wide smile.

I don't blame him! He's getting married to the love of his life

"Amarya sannu" I said.

"Thank you" She smiled.

I walked back to my seat and raise my head only to meet Layla staring at me.

She quickly looked away when she realized I saw her and I chuckled.

"The bride and groom should come and dance please" The Mc said.

Fadoul and Qamrah walked to the dance floor and Perfect by Ed-Sheeran played.

The bridesmaids danced to Betty Butter by Mayorkun and Davido.

I looked around for Layla in the dance floor but she wasn't there.

I spotted her walking out of the hall so I followed her

Why?

I don't know!

"Why are you not dancing?" I asked

"Because I'm married" She shrugged.

"Married woman huh? Are you the only married woman among the bridesmaids?"

"I'm the only Muslim married woman"

"You look beautiful" I sipped my drink.

She looked at me sharply before she started coughing.

"Sorry did I say anything bad?" I asked.

"No it's okay you didn't do anything" She faked a smile before walking inside.

Layla's Pov

The dinner ended at 9pm and I'm currently in my room.

"Why did he say that I look beautiful? *Deep breaths* he just complimented me as a fellow human being I guess"

"Layla let's go!" Ya Kameela shouted.

"Coming!" I dragged my suitcase out.

"Ya Fareeha when was the last time I even had a sleep over at your place?" I asked.

"I can't remember oya let's go"

We drove off to Ya Faree's house at Gwarimpa.
