      Every one in the kitchen turned their gaze at us the moment we walked in.

" goodmorning Mrs khalifa" one of the helps greeted and I returned her greeting.  The kitchen came to a pause, they wandered  why the extra number.

" and who are these" zainab asked

" my sisters  are  here for a while " I said with a broad smile.

" why" faruq's wife asked

"  she can't bare the torture  alone, she needs some assistance"

" I will rather they are here to help me rejoice " I said

" obviously" 

" fine. suit your selves."

"Please let's concentrate on making breakfast". The work was apportioned to everyone for supervision. I waited long for my own and vualaaa

" sana basically there is nothing here for you so....."

" very well then" I said dropping the spoon I was holding. Me and my girls walked out with our aim being defeated.

" I was ready for them"

" I was preparing my ill speech"

" na GOD save them"

" hey sana what was that for"

" they did that so to put me in trouble, making it look like I didn't contribute any help."

" let's go see the boys" i added. We walked down to where khalifa and the boys were  We  entered just in time to see them trying out their outfits.  Our eyes met.

" how does your man look" ahkram asked. Not cutting the eye contact, my heart melts slowly but I had to keep up

" awesome" I  struggled to say. My eyes were filled with tears coz  I see a very sweet looking man gracing to another woman with joy.  He came forward and pulled me to his body. We both encircled each other.

" iyyeh"

" awwwwwn"

" don't they look just perfect"faruq said

" I love you to the moon and back but I have to do this okay" he whispered and I nodded still battling with tears.

" I am not stopping you" I whispered back

" that's my girl" he said

" but promise me you will be a  just husband"

" say no more"

We were still entangled when hajia Hanna and some aunties entered. Everyone stood up to greet, I was going to release him but  he held tight. she looked at us from head to toes, she looked around and notice rayhana and hasina. She was too irritated to say anything but his aunties did

" lol. Sana you are indeed a funny creature. If you like, let him hold you from now till evening, he is still getting married next tomorrow IN SHA ALLAH."

"Does it matter?" Hamza said

" hey guys, your fav aunt is here" thier  mum announced.

" my boys looking dashing. Your stylists outdid them selves. Good work I must say "she walked in

" aunty ainau !!!!" They all shouted. together, they pulled her into a long hug.

" when did you arrive"

" you had a late flight I must say"she ignored all of them and walked towards us

" aircomodore sir, when did you outgrow giving me a warm embrace" she said
