Seconds rolled into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days and finally it's three days before Adyan fly back to China, he had less than six months to get done with his education at Tsingua university it was a four years program and he was almost done
Mr. Kabir Humaydh and Mr Salman have met and discuss about the two, and they have come to a conclusion to give them time to know and understand each other as they won't force them into relationships they didn't want and so it was.
They families have decided to gather together for dinner before Adyan leaves and also to meet the other member of the family Khalid, Kaltoom's elder brother who has arrived in Nigeria two days ago but is in Abuja although the were expecting him that afternoon

Each family where getting ready for the dinner which would take place in the Salman's mansion that evening.
It was already 5:24pm and the Salman's where expecting the Humaydh's anytime soon the House was looked extremely clean and beautiful with one glance you could tell the family were having an important function
Different varieties of food where being prepared in the required quantity cause as Mrs Salman would say "food wastage was a disrespect to natures bliss" so she made sure everything was prepared averagely
Over at the Humaydh's mansion Kaltoom has turned her closet upside down, she was excited for the dinner but she was super excited because her dearest brother was coming home any minute as Farouk has gone to bring him home from the airport
She was FaceTiming with Amani who was helping her pick a dress for the dinner
After what seems like forever and a lot of bickering, awwwing, and etc they finally settled on a maroon colored fitted turtleneck slit dress a Burberry purse to match and low heels
Kaltoom complained about looking too extra but Amani wouldn't listen she dressed up rolled her veil some kohl on her eye and lip balm she didn't want attention to her self but gorgeous would be an understatement to what she looks and the color complimented her skin a lot
She was just about to go out when the maid came in and told her about the arrival of Khalid
Kaltoom almost die out of excitement she ran all the way downstairs almost tripping and gave Khalid a bone crushing hug
She got so carried away she didn't notice their cousin who was standing behind them
"Oh my gosh Maimoona!!!! She exclaimed and ran to hug her
Maimoona was her fourth cousin she was Mrs Fatima's sisters daughter and also favorite cousin they have been best friends growing up, she was the same age as Kaltoom.
Maimoona is very light in complexion just as Kaltoom they looked slightly alike and one would think they were twins, she had a small nose and puckered tiny lips which made her look as cute as a botton
when they were growing up Maimoona had always had a crush on Khalid she would come stay the holiday in Kaduna just so she could see Khalid and enjoy the holidays with Kaltoom, Khalid being the overprotective brother was always with Kaltoom and so Maimoona had a chance of becoming his closest friend
But only Kaltoom knew about how Maimoona felt towards Khalid and not to mention that was the same reason she chose Paris to study, she was very smart and had the privilege of studying at Oxford but she turn it down for Paris much to everyone's surprise cause she had always wanted to study law but when the chance came she turn it down for theater arts in Paris
They had a fifteen minutes family reunion before the two not so new members where rushed to get ready and come so they could go for the dinner at the Salman's
Khalid wanted to ask who they were but he didn't get the chance to so he just held his horses in.

"Asalamu alaiykm welcome everyone kushigo" Mrs Salman welcomed the Humaydh's with a warm smile
The atmosphere of the big sitting room smelt of burnt bakhoor which was so pleasant to the nose
