"It's your fave!"

"Tasneem!" I squealed and hugged her making her fall in the hardwood floor, my room floor wasn't tiles but hardwood

"Babes! Yeah you broke my back good job" I rolled my eyes at her attitude, tasneem has been my favorite cousin since ever, we were born on the same month and year but she was older with three weeks and four days as she will always say

"Don't tell me you haven't showered, ya Salam it's starting in like 20 minutes" she gasped and put a hand on her chest

"I'll be fast" I quickly changed to a towel having a quick hot shower and came out wearing my body con jumpsuit

Today is the Gumels Family Lunch, we have one every two weeks before Ramadan and we also have an Iftar on the 15 of Ramadan

I combed my hair and grinned at Tasneem who was looking at me "...Were leaving ooh" Usman barged in and I nodded

"I'm coming with Tass"

"Sure and I'm going with Alamin and Umar and Sadiq but please dear sis I need your camera" he pleaded

"It's in the fourth drawer there and be careful with it fah!" He picked it up and hugged me kissing me cheek and leaving "hey Tass"

"Hey Usman"

I applied little Foundation and mascara and also lip gloss the finally picked up my peach open Abaya decorated with white lace embroidery, tying its belt I wore my white pumps and tied my hair to a neat bun then wrapped its viel and carried my black Michael Kors bag

"Finally!" Tasneem sighed and I rolled my eyes "it takes you two hours to do what I just did in fifteen minutes so shut it"

"So how is Ahmad?" I wiggled my brows at her as we entered the car and Audu drove us to Abba Kiaris house, that man was rich so his backyard could take all the Gumels living in Abuja

"Well he said he's ready to kawo gaisuwa" Tass breathed and I squealed in my seat "oh my baby, I'm so happy, what did you say?" I asked and she bit her lip

"I told him I'll inform Hajiya" Tasneems mum is hajiya and also Abba Kiaris wife, everyone calls her Hajiya cause she's the oldest from Goggo

If you're confused then, Abba Kiari is Hajiyas cousin so they had in-house wedding so they practically have the same relatives

I spotted her with Maama and Anty Farida who is the third born after Maama

Goggo has seven children who are Hajiya, Bappa Sambo, Maama, Anty Farida, Mummy, and Anty Hassana and Anty hussaina

I greeted them and all the rest of the elders, "Ke! Noor!" I turned and met Fatima, I hugged her and squealed "I missed you so much, see how big you are , Hmm all these girls that will grow and leave me maybe your bra size is more than my own self" I rolled my eyes at her

She was the talkative and blunt cousin who didn't really care she just did what she wanted but she managed to get a hold of herself infront of parents and that's why she was the elders favorite cause most of the time she was usually gisting with them

She has a small figure with caramel skin and dark brown doe eyes and a button nose with hearty lips

"How do I look?" She winked and did a little spin "mwah" I said in a French accent and she blushed "I know" she was in yellow Palazzo pants and a fitted plain black long sleeve and a black viel with her round shades

She always managed to pull off the look as the fashionista of the family as she calls herself "where is tasneem?"

"She just left, so did you save a seat for us?" She nodded "the best just like me" she dragged me and showed me to a plush maroon pillow, there was a very long table with plates infront of the sitting pillows
