DERAILED✔️

5~

The Aminu's household was bustling with people of different kinds; short, tall, light skinned, dark skinned, all clad in their best attire, trooping in and out of the house, anticipating the arrival of the bride.
Abdallah's mum 'hajia maryam' relentlessly made sure everything was in place, she ordered the maids clad in their work outfit around the house.

The boisterous activity going on was brought to a halt for a second when a honk sounded, followed by the sound of sirens,

She's here

She's here

Abdallah's bride is finally here.

People said from different parts of the house trying to get themselves to be at the perfect spot to witness the arrival of the most anticipated bride.

The Range Rover sport conveying the bride sleekly swerved into the compound, with the escort's SUVs following.

Aaima's elder brother 'Fahad' offered to drive Nadia over since she was more like a sister to him, Aaima sat in the front seat with Basma at the back with the bride, Aliyah also went with them after much persuasion from basma but came in through a different car.

When Aaima pulled the back door open, Nadia elegantly stepped out of the car with a veil draped over her head, she sauntered towards the house with Aaima and basma by her sides.

She muttered her salam as she stepped her foot into the luxurious building,

"walaykum salam dear" hajia maryam who was already standing by the door replied, "welcome to the family" she said embracing her. Hajia maryam guided nadia to the living room where everyone gathered including Abdallah. Aaima, basma and aliyah followed behind closely.

Hajia maryam introduced nadia to all the members of the family present, both close knitted and distant.

After all formalities were over, the groom was asked to unveil his bride,
Abdallah stood up from his seat to take the veil off Nadia's head, but he halted when basma stood in front of him,

"not so fast" she said, "you must settle us before you open the bride's face" Basma added,

Abdallah squeezed his face confused but Qasim came to his aid,

"do you mean money?" Qasim asked grinning, Basma is a talkative, but she isn't that confident when she's in the midst of numerous people, but she knew who could execute this game well. Basma stepped back a little to whisper into Aliyah's ear,

"I know you're excellent at things like this, so please help" Aliyah was reluctant, but she gave in.

"No" she said with her melodious voice, Everyone scrunched their face confused, if she isn't referring to money then what is she referring to?,
"we don't need money but cool cash" she said rubbing her fingers against each other to describe it and everyone burst out laughing except the Stoic Abdallah,

"give them anything they want, I'm getting bored with this" Abdallah whispered to Qasim,

"Chill man, I like games like this" Qasim whispered back smiling,

"like 500,000?" Qasim asked,

"uh hmm" aliyah placed her index finger on the side of her head like she was deep in thought, "will 500 thousand be enough for beautiful ladies like us?" she asked everyone seated,

"nooo" they all shouted in unison,

"ok 2 million then" qasim said again grinning from ear to ear,

"that sounds impressive, but what about the previous 500 thousand?" she asked still keeping a straight face,
