ABUJA, NIGERIA.Down inside a luxurious bathtub is another bride of the day meant to be taking a bath as people are waiting for her outside. She has her head tucked in between her knees, they were brought up to her naked chest, lost in thought. Inside the milk scented water, her thought spiraled down the lane of how she came to this. Forgetting to tie her hair so as to not get it wet, it was too late for that as the hairs were soaked wet when she realised what she has done.Kauthar could only think about how life came to that. Just months ago, she was mourning her mother's death afterwards, it was her brothers and again some months interval, her fiancée is reported dead after going MIA. In all those things, she didn't lose her head or emotional focus only when the news about her marria

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Innalillah! You are worse than the other brides and I thought you were the most excited one." Yasmeen rant staring at Fayha who could only yawn and lull her eyes open. She has locked her door and no one has her keys, Yasmeen had to raid the house to find a spare key to wake the sleeping beauty. She thought she would be ready by the time she arrives but she is actually worst than the other girls, they are all getting ready and out of bed."Oh, I'm so happy to get married but it doesn't matter since it is aligned to sleep. Now move let me get into that sanctuary before my mom decide to badge in here!" She pushed Yasmeen out of the way and locked herself in the bathroom hearing her mother's yells about how irresponsible she is.She was

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Bushra was pushed back to her room to change into the white as her husband is about to arrive and they need to take photos with her wearing the whites. She gulped, his words echoing through her head because if there is anything she's felt different that day, being her wedding day, it is the fact that Amir's words sounds unusual. Like the marriage between them has changed things around, she is one to tell. His voice was deeper, filled with so many intense emotions she didn't want to dwell on for they will take her where her mind shouldn't think about going.In a few minutes, she got dressed into her own white dress which fitted her to perfection. She sew it, she knows the nooks and cranny of her body so she let it all out through the clothes. It is also fitted, enough f

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Your mother is not here, Kauthar but I would like to think she is going to say the same thing I am going to right now so listen to me very carefully." It was Hajiya Barira, her mother's best friend who has been taking care of all that is needed to be taken cared of for the wedding. She was there to stand against her paternal family and rule over everything that happens in the wedding. She is also a boss lady, never bowed to anyone and a glare from her could stop any of those wicked aunties from moving another inch. Just what they need to put them in their rightful places."This marriage might seem forced to you. Don't look at me like that, we talked about it with your father and he told me everything. I even went as far to talk to your husband about this just to clear the air as marriage is no

ABUJA, NIGERIA."I really don't like that he gave her his heart, he should've lived and be happy with the other woman. She clearly loved him a lot too, so much." Bushra murmured, her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at the large television in front of them. They are watching a movie, together with Amir in their new living room. On their wedding night."No, he did the right thing to me." Amir whispered back, his head atop hers while his arms are wounded around her shoulder, resting right on her arm where he traces unknown patterns now and then."I don't think so, dude. I have been waiting for her to die, I was expecting that but then he had to die. His death took a toll on me right now, it touched me." She sniffed again, this movie got her like... She wished she never

ABUJA, NIGERIA."So you mean, Amir got married to her instead of you?" Zara asked Mannir in that cunning voice of hers as she twirling a strand of her braided wig around. She finds everything amusing but she won't cackle in front of her pawn, he shouldn't see that side of her or will never take her serious and probably start thinking they are friends."Yeah, she turned me and her other suitors down immediately after he proposed." Mannir shrugged on the other end though his ego was bruised. He didn't expect Bushra to do that to him though he knew she deserves someone far better than him.Besides, he is glad the Amir guy proposed, they deserve each other at long last. He's seen the guy during there school days though just a kid then. He didn't want to ruin her lif

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Kauthar grumbled seeing as there are new set of guests gushing through her doors at six in the evening. They are doing so as if they are coming to their home, some people are really senseless. Most of them, she doesn't know anything about them or sometimes, she will know one person who will bring their entire family along or neighbours. She is tired of smiling and acting all shy when she honestly want to just sit down, watch some movie before her husband decides to show up whenever he feels like. No, she is not at all missing him and would want him to stay there and not come back."Welcome." She forced a smile to the four ladies coming through her door and she continue to walk further to her kitchen to serve them refreshments and the

Oh, she knows clients are not always going to be as good as those trio, she is sure none could even come close to them which is what makes her sadder.
