Wake up! I heard until it got louder. WAKE UP! Making me shoot out of bed and landed on the floor "Ouch" I groaned rubbing my arm "You better hurry up and take your bath or you'd be late for your wedding" mom called out, glancing at the clock I was actually running out of time. I regret staying awake with Kabeer, now I'm all grumpy and with a cold, achuu*
I'm really just so sore and so I decided to take some pain reliever. I took my time to take a warm shower, brushed my teeth and used mouth wash, so my period decided to visit me today of all days, not that I'm actually expecting anything, I'm just thinking of the cramps, what a long day it'd be and I'd be super exhausted, sighs
My attention was drawn to the cackly sound of heels on the tiles and there stand a beautiful lady in front of me in an akimbo position until I noticed she was darting at me "Uhm hi?" I greeted anxiously "Girl don't hi me, bring your fine ass and sit on this chair" she replied placing me on the chair roughly "And you are?" I asked trying not to sound rude "I wish I had the time to tell you every single detail about me darling, but you see I don't. I'm Habiber and I'd be responsible for making up your face" she replied fast and I wonder how someone could hold her breath for that long. In no time she already started beating my face and was almost done, then she started with my hair, brushing it wildly and I almost cried because I'm tender headed
"Be gentle with my hair please" I pleaded at the verge of crying "Sorry dear, I was told to hurry up so the event could start" she replied "Can you not? Besides the wedding wouldn't start without the bride" I said trying not to be angry, she got me wondering who hired her, is this the best in town Nifah kept ranting about? "Assalamu alaykum" a familiar voice greeted "Wa'alaykm salam" we both replied and there came in Beelarh looking as beautiful as ever, she seemed to add an extra
"Arghhhh!" I screamed going to hug her until I was tugged by my hair and I saw Biber knotting the end "Can you release my best friend for me?" Beelarh asked and she let go, I raced towards her hugging her causing her to fall at the process "I miss you" I squealed "No you don't. If you did you would have contacted me instead your head is filled with Kabeer boo here and there" she said
"I'm so sorry" I paused "As a matter of fact I'm not sorry, why didn't you contacted me instead?" I asked and she sighed "I've been really busy. Kabeer and the boys left everything on me, I had to contact the caterers, event organizers, MC, yada yada yada" she said with a sigh "Okay I'm back to my words again, I'm sorry I should have contacted" I apologized "Yes girl you should have" she replied "And our bride looks beautiful" she said with a genuine smile
"Thanks to the makeup artist" I replied facing Biber kept smiling at us "No need to thank me, you're beautiful already. My job was to define it" she replied with a smile and I blushed "You heard that?" I asked Beelarh smiling and she rolled her eyes "Biber please when you're done with the bride, I'm next" Beelarh said "What about the one on your face?" I asked her "I just need finishing touches"she replied "Time is not on our side"
"Yeah right whatever" she grabbed the grapes from the plate and popped it in her mouth
"Girl your hair has grown" she said looking at my hair "Thanks to the cream you gave me" I smiled noticing the length of my hair "There are no thanks, you'd have to pay me cause it cost me a lot" she replied "Girl you know Kabeer's got me" I winked and she rolled her eyes. Biber is now applying the edge corrector by gab at my edges and with the final touch
"Done" she said and I had the opportunity to look at myself in the mirror "Oh someone is going wild today" I smirked "Take it easy on him" Biber said and we all laughed, she packed her makeup kit and bag and headed to the door "See you at the wedding" I yelled and she smiled nodding, mom came in immediately after exchanging pleasantries with Beelarh she walked up to me
"You look beautiful my baby girl" mom said raising my chin and I've been convincing myself that I'd not cry no matter what, it's my wedding day "Thanks mom" I returned her smile hugging her "Please you guys should be careful with the makeup or Nifah would skin me alive" Biber said from across the door, and I thought she left already
"I'd be careful from henceforth" I said "Oya hurry up and wear your clothes, the guests are already at the venue" mom hurried me. I hurriedly wore my gown and rolled my hijab, Zuliey and Nifah had come in by then and they all looked at me with wide eyes, amusement written on their faces and I smiled seeing how beautiful everyone was looking, noticing their efforts to look that best and they did look their best
"Come on let's get you wedded" Zuliey said hooking her arm in mine "Wait I forgot to spray" I gasped and rushed to grab my perfume "Are you girls going to spend the whole day here?" Mom sighed "And I'm done" I came out with satisfaction. I was led outside, women singing and men drumming, all dancing and I couldn't stop smiling at the sight of these beautiful people, they were gifted money making them dance even more
Nine cars were parked outside awaiting me and the girls, a Royce Rolls, 2 wagons, Benz and some other brands I don't know about their names. I see my brother in-laws looking fly in their Shadda and caps all wearing shades, I noticed Mukhtar also, so he is back. Walking up to them they all complimented
"Looking beautiful ladies" Khaleefah flirted and we all chorused a "Thanks" smiling "But not as beautiful as my wife" Kabeer said walking up to me and I noticed he looked five times more handsome, I stared at him dreamily until he took my hand "Shall we?" He asked and I nodded, we got to sit in the Royce Rolls and everybody else followed the remaining cars and off we went
Kabeer kept starring at me through out our ride and I hate blushing in his presence "What Kabeer?" I asked and he looked away smiling at our intertwined fingers "Awwn don't be shy baby" I said raising his face with his beards causing us to stare at each other's eyes "Ain't nobody scared of you bruh" he replied and I rolled my eyes "I didn't say scared, I said shy" I said with dancing eyebrow and he rolled his eyes
"Who applied your makeup?" He asked "Why? You like?" I asked winking "You should fire her seriously" he replied looking at me weird "What? You don't like it? Is it too much? Is it bad?" I asked as insecurities rise up my body "She just made me wanna spend my cash even more" he winked and I looked away smiling "Boy you play too much" I slightly punched his shoulder and he grabbed my hand looking into my eyes, leaning closer as I gulped, his eyes halved closed "We're there" the driver said, internally thanking him for his rescue, Kabeer sighed placing his palm on his face
"Are you ready?" He asked and my heart started beating real fast "Uhm I'm not sure" I replied nervously "Everything would be fine, keep calm and breath, I've got you, okay baby?" He tried calming me and I nodded. Someone knocked on the window and I gasped seeing it was Zuliey I rolled down "What is it?" I asked "The presence of the couple has been announced so get ready to walk the aisle she winked and I groaned
The doors were opened revealing us and I could hear the loud beat of music from across the hall, I kept reminding myself to breath, I can do this I kept telling myself, Kabeer noticed my nervousness and he held my hand, looking at him he mouthed " I got you" I only nodded. It seemed like I was walking gracefully but I was only been careful because of the heels, the tip is really thin and I fear I might trip if not careful enough
My mother in-law the queen herself walked to me and embraced me, I know I love my mama but I love this woman "Smile my dear, it's your day" she said holding my chin, I didn't notice I wasn't smiling till now and I smiled without hesitating "You look even more beautiful now" she complimented "Thanks mom" I replied, knowing she'd be mad if I call her any name other than that "Mention not my beautiful daughter" she said with a peck on my cheeks, my confidence somehow built up by just talking with her. Queen power??
We made our way to the chair and we sat after the MC played a mini game of who to sit first and Kabeer won. From this view I saw a lot of faces some I knew of and most I don't, the hall is indeed very beautiful, I'm impressed. The king walked to us and I went down on my knees as Kabeer squatted greeting his royal highness, we received his blessings and he apologized he'd have to leave because he has important issues to attend to and you know he is a generous person handled me a cheque of ten million before leaving and I couldn't thank him enough
Refreshments were served and it was time for us to dance, oh my God! "I'm sooo dancing" Kabeer whispered to me "Boy you and I know you can't dance" I whispered back "Says who?" He asked "Says me" I replied and he sighed, I smiled at my victory "Are you daring me?" He asked again "I dare you to" I replied fiercely "Okay if I dance, you'd have to give me your cheque" he said, looking between the cheque and him "Deal!" I said
We walked to the middle of the hall and I've never been shocked all my life at how Kabeer moved, he danced so well he became the attention to the guests and his brothers whistled, I just stood there watching him move his body perfectly to the rhythm "Amarya taka rawa mana (Bride dance now)" one of his aunt said and I just smiled knowing no amount of talk would make me dance today. Everyone joined us and danced too
🎶🎶
"There's no way I'd give you the cheque" I whined and I honestly regret not thinking before taking actions "A deal is a deal" he said "I'd cry" I said "I dare you to" he smirked knowing we had another deal of me not going to cry through out the day but I'd have to get at him somehow and so I started crying "Oh my God! Please don't" Kabeer pleaded "Awwn she's crying, don't worry you'd be fine" his cousins Hassana and Hussaina said with sad faces as they left "Okay okay you win" Kabeer withdrew and I laughed knowing they thought I was crying over getting married and he frowned
"What's the matter dear?" The queen mother came sitting beside me, followed by his cousins "Nothing mum" I replied "Are you sure? Remember I'm your mother that means no secret" she reminded "I'd miss my parents "Don't worry you'd see them every once in a while, we are your parents too and if Kabeer does anything wrong you can tell me but I know I raised him better, I'm still strong enough to whoop him" she said looking at me "Mummm" Kabeer whined "What?" She glared at him and he knew better by keeping quiet, I was on the verge of laughing "Call on me if you need anything" she said and I nodded with a smile
I laughed immediately at their departure "That was not even funny" he said with a straight face "What? Are you scared of getting whooped?" I asked still laughing "Whatever" he replied "I'm hungry" he said "Me too" I replied "Let's go eat some jollof rice" he said smiling "On our wedding? Have you ever seen any couple eat during the event?" I asked "It's almost over tho" he said as the Mallam was giving us the closing prayers "Ameen" everybody chorused including us, took ton of pictures and my eyes are beginning to hurt from all the flashlights, the hall was empty by now only family members remaining and the caterers "Shall we now?" Kabeer asked darting at them "Yes please I'm starving" I replied
