I hugged Fatima as she came outside to help me with the box of donuts and cupcakes, I had two boxes of 12 for donuts and two boxes for cupcakes too
"Hey baby Noor, you look pretty" she cheered doing something weird with her fingers and she hugged me "thank you" I grinned and she placed the boxes on the boot of the car
"I definitely have to take a picture, you look so nice" she gushed making me smile giving her a 360
I'm dressed in copper button up dress and a beige jersey veil with nude chunky heels and my favorite coach bag
"Mrs. Bamalli" she hyped as she took selfies of me and her "you look really nice too" she was dressed in a white and yellow floral dress with a mustard colored veil
We decided to go in after catching up a bit "med school hasn't been easy wallahi, most times I just want to give up" she cried and I laughed
"don't worry baby, two more years inshaAllah, hmm I just remembered how is hameed, how far you guys?" I wiggled my eyebrows at her and she groaned throwing her head back
"He's fine and hame....." she was interrupted by amal running towards me "Noor!" I smiled crouching down to place a kiss on her forehead cause my hands are full
"Where is your mummy?" I asked and she pointed to the kitchen which probably meant backyard, so this time around they decided to host an iftar which is happening on the third day of Ramadan which is today
Adnaan is coming later around 6, which is when most of the guys are coming
"Come on let's go, it's in the back, I'll gist you later" we dropped the boxes on the island and headed over to the family
"Anty Hussaina!" I ran over to hug her, I missed her so much, she has been in Gombe since after Maama
"Baby na" she hugged me tightly "how are you? you look so beautiful mashaAllah, looking more and more like her everyday" she smiled her eyes tearing up, i bit my tongue holding the tears
"Lafiya Alhamdullilah, how was Gombe" I said holding her hands and giving it a little squeeze making her smile
"Good Alhamdullilah, have you greeted everyone?" I shook my head 'No' and she nodded "after you greet them then we'll catch up, Allah ya miki Albarka"
"Hajiya, Ina Yini" I greeted and she replied hugging me "how are you? Is Adnaan coming?" She asked and I shook my head
"I'm good Alhamdullilah, yes he's coming later around 6" she nodded "okay Allah ya kaimu"
I went over to greet everyone, I spotted my favorite cousin as I walked over to her "ya Sakeena" I called opening my arms for a hug
"Khadija Noor!" She squealed and squeezed me "I've not seen you in months" she exaggerated making me roll my eyes "ya Sakeena, me and Fatima came to your house last month fah, I saw amal ai she was waddling around"

Tasneem nudged my arm then pointed to the back door with her chin and I looked in the direction to see Adnaan and Bappa Sambo talking
"Hmm habibi looking yummy koh" she joked making me smack her "see this small girl ooh"
Everyone has already prayed, the men went to the mosque and the girls prayed at home so the buffet table was busy with everyone serving themselves
"kai Abdul come and help me with this" I called Abdul "see this one ooh, because you're married now you're calling me kai, na girme mijin ki fah (I'm older than your husband oh)" he joked and I rolled my eyes
