The following day was a Monday, Ya Muhammad's silent treatment was still on going.

Today was also my matriculation, I wanted to let him know but well...he was ignoring me.

That same morning Amna had stopped by and she kept 3 set of boxes and 9 boxes in total at the house

She has said that it's my lefe.

I had blinked in her in confusion, I didn't think I would get that since this entire marriage process hasn't been...normal

But here we are.

Baba also had my sadaki sent to me a few days ago because he didn't get to give me the day we went to greet him.

The guards helped bring the boxes in and I had told Amna I would call to Thank Aunty Saadatu but she had said I should thank my husband first.

The same husband who doesn't want to see me?

I wasn't stupid, I knew it was the mention of his first wife that had him all closed off, but it wasn't my fault, if I had known she named it I wouldn't have asked.

The boxes were taken to my room and I changed into a peach colored dress before wearing the matriculation gown given to me.  I and Amna took a few pictures and we left.

I've never seen the campus this full before, we barely got any parking space.

We happened to arrive just in time and we went into the hall, the process was by your faculty, it took us about 30 minutes and when we came out I found Amna already taking pictures with Aunty and another woman I didn't know, I later found out she's Sadiya's mother.

We took a few pictures and I left looking for Labiba, we came out of the same hall but I have no idea where she disappeared till

I couldn't help but look to see if I could see Ya Khalifa too, he wasn't matriculating obviously but I thought he'll come at least for his sister, I guess not.

I don't know why he's doing this, it's been about a week since I left the house but I don't think him and Ya Muhammad have communicated since then.

I spotted her taking pictures with her family, I went and I greet her parents before the both of us leave to find something to eat, we ended up finding meat pie and some Chapman and we sat down on two random available chairs we found.

I don't know if we had some magnets attached to us because soon enough Amna and her group of friends found us.

I almost groaned out.

"Guysss! My brother is having a party tonight and y'all are invited" Maama said.

The girls cheered as they spoke about what they were going to wear.

"Manal are you coming?" Maama asked me.

"Manal Kuma? Dan Allah ku rufa mata asiri" Labiba said with a chuckle.

The girls stared at her in confusion and Amna face palmed herself.

"How dumb can I be! I thought I told y'all! Manal got married!" Amna said.

The way the girls squealed loudly the people next to us turned to stare in irritation.

"Qarya!" "Wallahi qarya kikeh!" "Married kuma?"

"Wait till you hear who she got married to!" Amna said excitedly

"Who?!"

"Ya Muhammad!" The squeals turned into screams

Gosh I wanted to hide away from all the eyes giving us dirty looks.

These girls were insane, I couldn't help but chuckle at them.
