Glancing at A who was concentrating on the road, I quietly chewed on my nails, I nervously glanced at the side mirror to make sure I was looking presentable "Do you think am looking good?" I asked.

"Yes you are,you are looking like the prettiest lady on earth." He stated winking at me a little which made me blush "Am so nervous," I stated "Don't be,my relatives are all nice," He smiled re-assuringly but my nervousness was still there.

A girl who is meeting her fiancée's relatives for the first time have to be this nervous,Today is the naming ceremony of Aliyah's baby and she was named MINHA.So because my to be mother in law came to invite us formally to the naming ceremony,I am supposed to go to represent mama.Well the real problem is am sooooo nervous.

Will they like me?

Do I look good?

Will they find me beautiful?

You know,husband's relatives have many perks and I don't want any problem that have to do with them ever.

"Your head tie is a little bit unsettled," A voiced out of the blue "God!! Where??!" I asked looking at the mirror anxiously "At the front," He frowned "You look somehow,fix it sharply we are already here," He parked and then gestured to the house infront of us.

"Lahaula," I breathed sharply fixing the edges,a laugh vibrated and I turned giving A a confused look "I was joking," He voiced out making me roll my eyes.

"Well bad joke!" I exclaimed walking out of the car and then bumping into the house furiously.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD A DO THAT TO ME?????!

I hissed silently and started to walk further into the house but I stopped,first I noticed the decoration that was done in the sparce parking space.....It was magnificient!

Their was food....a lot and a lot of food.My stomach go full today!

It took me a moment to process what was happening,all eyes were on me!

Some people are whispering.

Some are looking at me with pierced gazes.

So much for trying to have a good first impression.

It came back to me that I banged the door open out of anger,but forget about all that now.

WHERE ON EARTH IS A???!

I smiled a little nervously "Good afternoon all," I mouthed chuckling a little,a girl of around 15 years ran to me and hugged me "Welcome Adda Hudaya,where is Ya Abdallah?"

I smiled awkwardly "Thank you,he is......" Well yes I was cut off "Am here." He voiced out and the girl jumped a little "She is even more beautiful in real life." The girl whispered to him.

Well let's all agree that,this is a badass compliment especially for me,because am soooooo photogenic.

I smiled widely at her knowing that me and her will click,she dragged me further and everyone was giving me weird looks.

"Probably Ya Abdallah's precious,right?" A beautiful lady asked and the other girl nod her head,the lady hugged me tightly.

Okay,they are all weird.No,not weird as in weird.They are just too full of energy,yeah.

"Um hi,you must be the new mum!" I exclaimed feeling welcome "Well yeah!" She exclaimed back.

I was given a chair to sit and tons of food was bought to me by A's sister whose name is Jadwa.

"Thank you so much Jadwa,enough of the food already.I cannot eat all this!" I stated trying to be as loving as possible "We are going to eat together Adda Hudayah!"

Oh!

"Well....I want to see the baby first." I stated and she chuckled before running to her sister and collecting the baby,Ablah shouted a "be careful with my baby" and I totally understand her.Jadwa is really a busy body.

She bought the baby to me smiling "So what is her name?" I asked staring at the cute baby "Furat!"

This baby is my personal person,she is the one whom A told that he love me for the first time.It was on the day she was born that I officially found my love.I fondled her cheeks gently smiling as the good memories of the day she was born came back to me.

"Welcome to the world Furat." I said in a low voice as I kissed her forehead smiling "Allah ya raya" I stated and gave Furat back to Jadwa.

Jadwa came back and we ate food.We clicked pictures with Mummy Furat and that was when Ablah decided to introduce me to everyone.

Ya ilahi! Save my soul, I am feeling so nervous right now.I know how all those aunties are.

"Am sure y'all are wondering who she is," They all nodded their head looking at me warily "She is Ya Abdallah's bride to be!" Ablah shouted and I duck my head down.

"Good evening." I mouthed feeling alerted "Masha Allah!" One of the aunties cheered "So she is girl that swept Abdallah off his feet." She teased and I smiled shyly.

"She is very pretty masha Allah." Another one said.

"Thank you." I whispered still feeling shy "I wonder what she have that Anisa doesn't have." One auntie said clearly angry.I raised my head and look at her and all I could see was blazing fire and hatred for me.

"Aunty Faty..." Ablah dragged and she hissed "You should keep quite,I have to say out my mind.Anisa is also pretty and he chose this girl.The thing that is annoying me more is that she have wrapped him around her fingers." She said and I shook at that.

"Tell me which malam you and your mom visit." She mocked and I felt tears threatening to fall.

Why are people like this?

When a guy loves truly,people say the girl have bewitched him.They all don't understand love.

"Faty,don't create any drama." One of the elderly women said "It was nice meeting you Hudaya." She said dismissively and I mustered up a fake smile.

Ablah lead me out and I let out a sigh.

"Am sorry Hudaya,Aunty Faty is naturally like that." Ablah apologized "It is totally fine." I faked a smile "My friends are waiting for me,please take a sit,I will send Jadwa to you in a minute." She stated and I smiled nodding my head.

Who is Anisa?

A never told me about her.

"Addah Hudayah!" I shrieked in horror due to fear only to find Jadwa laughing "Gotcha!" She said making me chuckle.

"Ya Abdallah just told me to tell you that you should come out.I guess he is already missing you." I was totally taken off guard "Jadwa! You are too naughty." I laughed dragging her ears making her wince.

"Well,that reminds me.I forgot the gift bag I bought in the car so please follow me and pass it to Ablah on my behalf." I said standing up "Your wish is my command precious!" She salute and I just shake my head chuckling.

Jadwa is one hell of a naughty girl!

I bid adieu with Ablah and we both went out.

I gave her the gift bag and said my good bye to her as I entered the car.

"So how was it?" He asked and I smiled.

"It was fine." Am not ready to tell him about that Aunty Faty.

"You don't look like it.Is there something I should know?" He asked curiously and I shook my head "Definitely nothing."

He let it slide and I kept gazing at the evening street that was bustling with a lot of people,it just seemed like I don't have a control over my mouth.

"Who is Anisa?"
