Her Little Secret (Prime)

S E V E N

JAMEELAH
(God, I and Jameelah never agrees and she made sure I went through a lot to get this chapter 😫)

I DO not say no to exclusively big events, especially not ones involving Hajiya Yagana. Everyone around her is a high profile figure and so I no longer need to bring down my family reputation.

Frankly, I loved it.

So, when I got a card yesterday which came along with the description of everything I needed to know about the event, I knew how I wanted to play the game.

If you were expecting anything less than a drama then go wash off your face with diesel or anything because if you know Jameelah, you know Jameelah and low key does not belong in a sentence.

The Bichi's and low key do not exactly belong to each other either, so I bring just what was required to the table.

Sadly, the particular Bichi who was the reason I had to be on par with the Bichi's does not give a damn.

When I got married to Mudathir Muhammad Bichi two years ago, yeah it's unbelievable that it's been that long but anyways, I thought he was just any regular man out there so what big deal is there.

Turns out he's quite a big deal both in person and as a person. I mean he's quite a catch among young ladies, the young ladies that have access to him anyway. And oh lord, he's freakishly hard to deal with.

I mean I thought the little trick I pulled on him in the past would stay in the past and once we are together, we'll figure things out but No! He has vehemently refused to move past it.

And truthfully, I have no idea if I should expect a divorce anytime soon or maybe a co-wife? With Mudathir, anything is possible.

But I still wear my title as his wife proudly. And I live life, to the fullest!

Even if he doesn't think I deserve the title.

After struggling for over an hour trying to style my silk headgear, I was finally done. I would be stopping over at a makeup studio for my makeup but my hair is not something I like people to handle so I do that by myself.

Having mentally picked out three outfits before I struggled for another thirty minutes or so to decide, I needed thirty more minutes to style the outfit, and thirty more minutes to pick out the right accessories.

I was styled in an outrageous cantaloupe Adire boubou adorned with embroidery. Going all out is the theme.

Cantaloupe against the sunset looks good on me and I was going to make sure I stepped into the Bichi's compound at exactly sunset.

Mudathir was perched on the foyer and when I stepped out, he simply looked up and back to his papers the next second. However when I was about to walk past him, I picked up his voice saying, "cover up before you step out of the house."

I nodded.

But tears sting in my eyes. It had to be embarrassing to mean less than a woman to your husband.

It does seem a bit different than when he'd just relay his disagreement through the gateman though. I'm fed up.

The drive to his mother's penthouse didn't take too much time but I had to waste some minutes in the car. It had to be at exactly sunset and I meant it.

Socializing as weird as it might seems has always been a form of therapy for me and I soon found myself breathing as I do what I love best, garner attention and leave the best impression. No matter what anyone would say, I love it.

"Thirty would look breathtaking on you idle and without a child." I heard a voice I knew very well from behind and I smiled, classically if that defines it."Seems it'll look better on you, unmarried that is." I retorted.

Neither of us is thirty yet and we both know it, but being married to Mudathir is just something Haseenah can't stand for reasons best known to her.

"One would think she has it all." She mumble under her breath and disappeared into the crowd and I went ahead serving looks without border. Nothing would dull my moments, at least not something as simple as a subtle jab.

At events like this, Hajiya Yagana simply wants to show off, there's no other way to say it, so she expects everyone to go all out. Fortunately, that is my area of expertise.

So there's no need to be surprised if I was everyone's favorite here which means everything to me.

But everything stands to fall any day the media catches a huff about how my real relationship is with my husband.

I should start thinking of backup plans...

Hello there,

I hope you've been fine.

Nothing much to say except that it's been a while.
