Minutes later, the bride came in with her sisters and friends making quite a grand entrance before they finally settled down waiting for the groom's family.
Not long enough, the family arrived walking in charismatically with their head raised high while walking to their reserved seat before finally the event began
"I'm I supposed to please this people? I whispered to Na'eemah
"Well technically your drink is" She whispered back
"That is double the pressure" I admitted as she slightly nodded her head.
Surprisingly moments into the event I was completely at ease even forgetting the situation at hand. I guess the good vibes and good music does that to your body.
After the MC's nonstop talking and constant dancing, the food were asked to be served and my heart quickly made a double take almost landing in my mouth. I met Daadi and Maami's assuring gaze and tried to nod my head but still my hands are shaking
"Calm down girl calm down. This won't determine your business" My subconscious muttered
"Yes it will" I yelled in my head
"Uhuuumm"
"This is my only opportunity. There's literally no other one at the moment" I screamed internally before looking at Na'eemah as the drinks started being served to the groom's family
"Na'eemah" I called out over the music
"Yes? She said turning to face me
"I'll go quickly make a call and you'll be the one to break the bomb to me when I'm back okay?
"Okay. But how will I know, I thought we will wait for Aunt Safiyya to do it? She asked narrowing her eyes
"Yes but I need to know it now. Just go over to their seat and overhear the conversation or maybe simply ask them. Please" I said standing up
"Okay. I think I'll just ask them" She replied with a shrug and I nodded smiling at her before grabbing my phone and exiting the hall
Hafeez pick! I mentally screamed
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Naeemah's POV
I kept playing candy crush on my phone until I realised it was five minutes since Humaira left and decided to go ask them about it. I stood up, grabbed my bag when it slipped and fell, spilling everything in it. Embarrassed, I mentally face palmed myself before squatting down just as someone squatted down to get them too. I raise my head to meet the black orbs of an unfamiliar face. He simply smiled and went back to picking everything before we both stood up
"Here, all in" He said giving me a small smile. He was a good looking lean and average in height. He really was good looking. His good looks was subtle, presentable and only clear when you pay extra attention. He had a soft smile, soft eyes and a softy face too. Even his voice is soft.
"Thank you" I whispered taking it from him and giving him a small smile of my own
"Next time, clasp it very good" He said as I laughed
"I will. This time was a mistake too because I was in a hurry" I replied
"Hurry? To where? He asked and I mull over if I should talk or not. Telling him won't change anything anyways.
"My sister launched a drink business line and we catered for this event. I'm on my way to the groom's family to ask if they like it" I said
"Ohh really" He asked again his expression amused
"Yes" I answered
"Well I like it" He pointed out with a smile
"Well you are not among the groom's family" I replied as a small laugh escape from him
"Sure. We will see about that" He said and walked off
I stared at his retreating figure and how he abruptly left then wondered why I stayed talking to him in the first place. For my own serenity and sanity, I was supposed to avoid men.
I shook my head clearing off the thoughts and walked over to the groom's family table
"Assalamualaikum" I said coming in sight
"Wa'alaikumus Salam" A young teenager replied
"How are you all doing? I asked as they all looked at me confused
"Fine? An elderly woman said which came out as a question
"Sorry for intruding but my sister launched a drink business line and we catered for this event providing what you are drinking now. The goal was to make you happy and we are hoping that you weren't disappointed instead.
"Actually we are not happy" The teenager said looking at me
"What.... what?? I asked trying to regulate my bumping heart
"We are thrilled, excited and blown away" She exclaimed throwing her hands around
"The drink is amazing, we have been looking forward to talking with Hajiya Safiyya to have it provided at the dinner and my sister over here wants them in her malls in Kaduna, Kano and Abuja" The elderly woman said
"Wait you guys really mean it? I asked trying to contain my happiness
"Yes we do. Your sister's drinks are amazing" The tall lean guy said coming into view
"Hunh? I asked confused
"I'm the groom's brother" He said with a shrug as the teenager whom I'm guessing to be his sister laughed
"Well I better get going, you know, to inform her about the good news. Thank you so much once again, we will get back to you shortly" I said turning to leave
"Can we talk later? The tall lean guy asked
Say no say no say no say no
"Yes sure" I replied instead ignoring the voice in my head as I rushed out to talk to Humaira
Ohh she can't believe this!

Humaira's POV
"I can't believe this! I exclaimed literally shouting at Hafeez through the phone
"Calm down Aira. I said I'm sorry"
"It's not about sorry, it's about you telling me it's not a big deal if they accept it or not"
"Well that's because I know they will"
"What if they don't?
"Humaira, Humaira" Na'eemah ran towards me shouting on top of her lungs.
"What happened? I asked terrified of her reply
"THEY LOVED IT " She squealed holding my hands
"THEY LOVED IT!!
"REALLY? I asked as my face broke into a wide smile
"Yes one said and I quote "we have been looking forward to talking with Hajiya Safiyya to have this drink provided at the dinner and my sister over here wants them in her malls in Kaduna, Kano and Abuja"
"Ohh my God" I placed a hand on my mouth , "This is good news" Tears prickled my eyes and then I remembered Hafeez is still on the phone
"Hafeez" I called out my voice high with excitement "WE DID IT" I added
