"Ma'u don't tell me you haven't taken your bath?" Mimi, One of my closest friends who is also a distant relative of mine from my mum's side asked after she entered the room to unplug her charging phone.

"I have I just need to put on my clothes and then we can get going." I replied.

The door swung open once more, revealing my sister Rukayya. She entered, and settled her gaze on me. "Ya Ma'u, Inna Dada just told me to fetch more takeaways. Apparently, the ones in the kitchen have vanished into thin air."

"Do I look like a walking takeaway to you?" I retorted playfully, and she responded with an eye roll.

"Well, I wasn't sure where you stashed them, honestly," she admitted.

"If you keep rolling your eyes at me like that, I might just tell Ya Mukhtar," I said, tossing a bunch of keys her way.

I got back to the task of dressing up. I chose a simple yet elegant peach lace gown, making sure it complemented my appearance. After tying my headgear and selecting a matching phone case, I walked over to the mirror to have a touch of light makeup. When I was satisfied, I pocketed my car keys and left the room.

"Asmau, zo nan (come here)," a voice called out, and I realized it was my aunt. I inwardly groaned, but I have to obliged.

I approached, seating myself beside my father's younger sister, Ba kaka, on the carpet. The load of questions began almost instantly.

"Where are you off to now? It's getting late, and you need to prepare for the dinner, don't you?" my mother's cousin, Aunty Fatima, inquired.

"I'm heading out with Ya Salma and the others to pick up Ya Aisha's dinner dress. We're going to the designer's place now," I answered, taking a moment to adjust my earrings.
