"Jollof rice,couslaw and fried chicken"mama said

"Okay"I said

"Oya everyone go and start doing your work"mama said

"Mama how many plates,spoons and cups am I taking to the dinning table"maheer asked

"10 each"mama said

"Mama is 12drinks and 12water okay or I should add"asked Ya Afiz

"It Is okay"mama said and he left

Everyone finished his remaining me but I will soon be done just remain frying. After 1hour I was fine with all.

"Maheer,nusaiba"I called

"Yes"nusaiba said

"Help me pick the rest and take them to the dinning" I told them.

When we were done mama told all of us to go and get ready they will be here anytime soon.

  I was thinking of the clothe to wear. I wore a black gown with a white veil,I did small make up and carried my phone. I saw 14missed calls,10 from Hafsa,2 from Maryam and 1 from Ya Amal.

  I called Maryam and Ya Amal. Later I just decided to call Hafsa. She picked on the first ring

"Hello Fatima"said Hafsa

"Hii Hafsa"I said

"How are you?"she asked me. After all the thing she caused she is asking me I thought

"I'm fine Alhamdulillah and you"I asked

"I'm fine too"she said. We didn't talk again. Later Hafsa decided to speak

"Fatima I'm sorry"she apologized

"For?"I asked

"For the things I caused the day I came to your house"she said feeling guilty

"No problem,it is in the past"I said

"Thank you"she said

"Wait,how did you know you caused trouble for me"I asked

"Nnn... nothing"she said stammering

"Why are you stammering?"I asked

"Okay I will tell you but promise me you won't tell the person"she said

"I promise" I said

"It was Ya Afiz"she said. So now he is telling her all that they did to me. I couldn't help but cry.

"Fatima I'm sorry"she said again

"No,it is fine"I said but my heart was breaking

"Okay bye"I told her. I hanged up didn't wait for her to answer.

I cried again. The thing is heart breaking. How can he do this to me,first he shouted at me,he told mama I was the cause of Hafsa to leave the house without goodbye,mama shouted at me and now he is telling her all that they did to me. Why me???I cried to sleep

"Aria"Ya Afiz shouted

"Yes"I said

"The visitors were here since what are you doing in your room"he asked

"Nothing"I said and entered the bathroom washed my face. I did make up again then came downstairs.
When I was coming down I could feel everyone's gaze on me but didn't look at them.

"Ina wuni"I greeted keeping my head down

"Lafiya kalau"they both answered

"Is this Fatima?"their father asked

"Yes she is the one"baba said

"She has grown up"their father said

"Come and hug me"their mother said and I went to hug her.

"You are beautiful"their mother said

"Thank you"I said shyly. All this while I was looking down

"Look at me dear"their mother said. When I looked up I saw she looks like Maryam.

"Fatima"Maryam said and hugged me

"Maryam,I missed you"I said and hugged her back

"So how are you"she asked

"I'm fine and you"I said

"I'm fine too"she said

"Do you know each other"both parents asked together

"Yes we do"Maryam said

"We are in the same class"I told them

"Ohh,I remember so you are the Fatima this girl has been talking about everyday"Maryam's mother said who I learnt her name is Aunty suwaiba

"Yes"Maryam answered

"Where is your first born"my father asked Maryam's father who i learnt his name was uncle Abdullah

"He is on his way coming from office"uncle Abdullah said. Later we heard a voice

"Hello"Maryam's brother said who I learnt his name is Muhammad but they call him Ya Ahmad

"Wa Alaikumussalam"his parent answered

"Ohh sorry Salam"he said

"Why did you come late"uncle Abdullah asked

"There was hold up on the road"he said sounding a bit rude

"Okay"his dad said

My dad introduced all of us to them and they did same. When Muhammad came he didn't notice me it was later when my father was introducing us he heard my name and looked up to see me. When he saw me he smiled at me and turned

"Let's go and eat food"mama said

"Wow this Apple slices cookie is sweet who made it?"Muhammad asked

"It was Fatima that made it"mama said earning a blush from me

"Wow she can cook"aunty suwaiba said surprised.
Muhammad was looking at me and that made me uncomfortable.When we finished eating mama told us to leave them and I told Maryam to come to my room. We gisted about everything.

I was coming down when I heard uncle Abdullah saying "Fatima is a nice girl I want to ask for her hand in marriage for my son"immediately I heard that my heart was pounding I quickly went back to my room.

"Fatima what happened"asked worried Maryam

"Nothing"I said

We bid goodbye and they left
