Bashir called Tehzeeb and told her everything that happened omitting the part of Uncle Idi kicking against the marriage. Amma was busy preparing for her husband arrival since he will be coming back today "Amma atqttqqqtleast allow the maids to assist you with some work" Bashir said when he saw his Amma doing up and down all alone

"Don't worry, I am almost through. When I am done, they can arrange everything on the dining, but I will do the cooking myself, " Amma replied

"Okay, but take it easy. Don't over stress yourself. "

"Have heard you, and thanks for your concern," which Amma continues with her work. When she was through and satisfied with her work, she left the remaining works for the maids , and she quickly went to bathe since Bashir had left already for the airport to pick his father up. Shortly after Amma heard the sound of the cars and immediately walk to the parlour waiting for her husband, immediately he ambled in she kissed him before giving him a hug"I missed you so much baby" Amma said seductively

"Missed you more, honey," Bashir father replied.

"Hummm, hummm" Bashir cleared his throat"I think you should get a room, I don't want to have an eye sore" Bashir smiled seeing the way his parents are showing affection to one another publicly

"Get a wife," his father replied, smiling

"Soon, Pa. Very soon I will get a wife. "

"That's will be better, at least we can have the house all to ourselves and do what we like. Or what did you think, honey?" He asked, looking at Amma with pure love

"Yes baby," and she pecked him again

"You know what? Am out of here, when you're through call me, " Bashir said and left, leaving his parents laughing because of his behaviour

"Baby, let's go inside so you can freshen up."

"But you will bathe me, right?" Pa winked

"Yes, of course,always at your service, baby," and they both walked inside the room. They came down after Pa had freshen up, and Amma called Bashir to come out so they could have their dinner. They all eat quietly on the dining table and move to the main parlour after they are through with their food

"So son, how was the meeting with your soon to be in-laws?" Pa asked

"Can't you talk about this tomorrow?" Amma intervene before Bashir could answer

"Don't worry honey, I need to know so we will know our stand. So son am all ears"

"It's was fine, Pa," Bashir answered

"Mashallah, but heard your uncle saying something about them not being your class. Is there any problem or is it because of his regular attitude?" Pa asked because everyone in the family knows about Idi's attitude towards the penury

"Yes, Pa, that's the only issue."

"Then don't worry,the marriage will take place so far there is nothing bad about the family."

"None Pa"

"Then be rest assured that she's your wife and you will be her husband unless what Allah plans."

"Thank you pa" Bashir said and went to hug his father because he could not be more happier than what Pa have said, since he has the last saying and he have concluded then the marriage will take place

"So when do you think the marriage should take place?"Pa asked

"That's for you to decide Pa, everything you say is okay by me,"

"Good, your Amma told me she's in her final year,"

"Yes, just remaining five months for her to round up,"

"Then that is it, the wedding should take place after her last paper, then she will serve in her husband's house." Pa finalized

"Thank you so much, Pa. I love you, "

"I love you too son, everything for you is my top priority" Amma was happy because she knows his son will marry who he loves,which is her greatest prayers, for him to marry the love of his life

"Umma, now that Bashir people have come to see Abba, don't you think they will talk about marriage any moment from now?" Tehzeeb asked worriedly

"Then what's the essence of them coming to see Abba if you're not ready? Or are you planning to stay with me forever?" Umma asked

"It's not like that, Umma."

"Then tell me how it is?" Before Tehzeeb could speak, there was a knock on their door

"Who could that be?" Umma asked

"Let me check," Tehzeeb answered and got up to check who was there, she regret opening the door because it's the last person she wished to see that was standing in front of their door

"Can't you greet or are you blind?" The person asked which Umma came out from the room immediately she heard the voice

"And to what did we owe this surprised visit?" Umma asked immediately. She reached the doorstep and drew Tehzeeb behind her back

"Well, I couldn't have come if you had informed me about getting husband for your child."

"Thank God you know she's my child and not yours. So why bother you and come here? "

"Because I want to make sure you don't dare lie to the people seeking her hand in marriage that's she's my brother's daughter."

"And what if I do, what will you do?"

"I don't think you will like what I would do,"

"Umaru, stay away from my daughter and I. I don't know what else you want from us even after leaving the house for you. "

"Well, I still have something with you because you're my brother's wife, and I have the right to check on you."

"I don't think you have that right since you don't know what it is to be an elder brother. And for the marriage, stay away from it, don't you dare try anything funny"

"And what if I don't stay away? What will you do?"

"Don't try me, Umaru, because if you try anything funny, you will regret knowing me in your life."

"Woman, you can do nothing, and for this marriage, try me and see what I would do because not even in my wildest dreams will it hold."

"Say that to a mad man and not to me, and don't you dare come to where we are again if you don't want to sleep in jail."

"Oh please stop bluffing, I will only stop coming to your place when you agreed to my demands if not, don't dream of not seeing me again, and mind you this wedding won't work" and Tehzeeb uncle left leaving Umma and Tehzeeb staring at his retreating back.

"Umma, you see what you have been saying. I know Kawu will do something drastic. "

"Don't worry about him. He can do nothing, his just bluffing."

"If you say so am off," Tehzeeb left for her work.

"Hey gal," Maryam said when she saw Tehzeeb retreating back

"How far?"

"Am fine. But I just recalled we did not say anything about the makeup artist that will do my makeup,and the day is getting closer. "

"Don't worry, I have talked to Twins-glam about the makeup."

"Are you serious?"

"Damn serious,"

"But how did you know about her?"

"Well, kind of saw Zeeekadir's post on her whatapp status, so I asked her who did the makeup, which she told me it's Twins_Glam her cousin sis"

"Woow, give me her number, so I will see some of her make ups."

"Alright. 07063535991. You can chat her up and book Cox. I heard she's always tied schedule, and for your wedding clothes, Zeeekadir told me one of her cousin sister is a tailor. What's her name self? " Tehzeeb tried to recall."Yes Khadija Ladan(Deedee), she's one in town tailor, trust me you won't regret it. "

"I think i will chat them up this night, both Twins_Glam and Khadija Ladan. Thank you so much. You have made my day, and everything is easier for me. "

"Your welcome" thus they depart and go there various way.

Tehzeeb has resumed school, which she has been busy with her studies because of her project, which she's yet to be through. Maryam's wedding took place, which was successful due to having things done accordingly, all thanks to Zeeekadir Twins_Glam and Our Honourable Tailor Khadija Ladan that save the day.

"Umma, you know that the date has been fixed in the next five month,how will we do?" Tehzeeb asked worriedly because she knows they don't have any source of income apart from her monthly salary and Umma small business

"Don't worry. Allah will see us through. I have to inform Gogo and Hajiya Kaltumi before they hear it from someone else. It's won't be nice if they hear it from another source. "

"Alright, then. When are you planning to go"

"Tomorrow when you leave for school"

"Okay then. Umma, you can use my savings and start buying the necessary things for the wedding"

"Don't worry dear, just face your studies. It's your final year. I don't want you to divert your attention. "

"In Sha Allah, I won't."

Tehzeeb was reading in her room when her phone rang without wasting much time she picked it up, Cox she missed his voice so much

"My lady," Bashir said

"Yes Sweetie" Tehzeeb answered because she have started calling him pet name too after Bashir whining and complains of her not being romantic, she opt to show him she's expert in that aspect to,all thanks to reading novels

"How are you, my lady?"

"Am fine, sweetie. How is work?"

"Alhamdulillah, but I can't wait for our Nikkah to take place. I am eager to see you in our home,"

"Don't worry soon. In Sha Allah, it's just a matter of time before we're together,"

"I will be the happiest man on Earth. So how is the preparation?"

"Nothing like that, Umma is handling everything, she asked me to face my studies."

"That's good. I will send you some money so you can buy the things you need, and if the money is not enough don't hesitate to tell me"

"I don't think there's need for that, just keep the money."

"Have heard you." they chat for a while before they end the call. Immediately Tehzeeb dropped her phone, she got a message. Thinking it was MTN, she didn't check it till she was ready to sleep. "Inna lillahi wa-innailayi rajiAAoon" was the first thing she said, which made Umma to rush to her room thinking something have Happened

"What happened?" Umma asked immediately she entered, which Tehzeeb gave her phone to her."What? Where did you get this from?" Umma asked

"It's Bashir Umma. He sent it, and I told him not to"

"But this money is too much. What will you do with Five Million Naira?"

"I don't know Umma, I will call him right away,"

"Do that please," and Tehzeeb dialled Bashir's number, but he didn't pick until she called him for the third time

"Before you complain about the money let me say something"Bashir said immediately he picked the call because he knows very well that's the reason she called "please don't return it, am giving you the money as every husband will do to his wife to be, don't say it's too much because am not taking it back. If you don't want to use it, you can leave it in your account or give it out, but I am not taking it again. "

"But," Tehzeeb wanted to say

"Please baby, let's drop this issue."

"Bashir, don't you think it's too much? Don't waste so much money like this. Aren't you going to eat after the marriage? " Umma said because the phone was on speaker

"Good evening Umma, don't worry Umma, Allah will provide for us and see us through" Umma was about to say something but Bashir did not allow him "Umma please don't say anything again, please am begging you" Bashir pleaded and Umma couldn't say anything again

"May Allah continue to bless you, son."

"Ameen," Umma walked out of the room, leaving Tehzeeb all alone, thinking of what to do with the money
