SIYAN

BAKI.

The Hausa tradition continue to take place as the older women took her to her new home. The house is large but not extra large, even though she is not seeing it very much from her veil, she could tell that it is large. They walk her to her room and sat her down on a bed, her face still closed. They said a few words of advice about how to be a good wife before leaving her with her friends, waiting for the groom and his men to do the siyanbaki (something her friends will do -asking the groom and his friends to pay before seeing the bride). Nana shook her head at how they're talking about selling her for a million. More guests came in to see the house and walk out with her face still closed, she was just hearing the Allah ya sanya Alheri.

Instead of listening to them, Nana spaced out, thinking about h

    FIRST DAY.Nana blinked when she heard a groan coming from behind her. Who is in her room early in the morning and the voice sounds so male-ish. Fahad cannot be here then who? Just then, it hits her like cold water is dumped on her sleeping body. She was married yesterday and Fahad is really at home but not her home. She can still remember the heart wrenching goodbye they'd shared even though he told her that Zayn is a good man and he'll take care of her, Nana still didn't like the idea of living the comfort of her lilac and baby pink room.She swiftly pivoted when she heard the groan again, there, her husband is shifting positions on the couch with an annoyed expression even though his eyes are shut. Nana stifled a chuckle before standing up, still trying to adjust to the rays of sun that's coming from the huge window. She didn't fail to wake up for Subh prayer even though she was exhausted beyond words. She wake Z

    HER SISTER IN-LAWS.Zayn groaned for the nth time beside Nana. This is the set of eighth guests and he's tired of going from living room to his bedroom so he kissed Nana's cheek again, telling her that he'll be in the other living room and he's going to lock himself up. She should tell them that he is not around. Nana didn't even hear much but she gets where he's coming from and understand it. That kiss only spike up her heart rate after been startled by the doorbell in the middle of their movie watching which he insist on. His kisses are like dire which she needs protection from.Regaining her breathing, Nana plaster a fake smile for the umpteenth time today to accept the guests. Most if them are Zayn's distant family members, thank God Maaysa is the one accompanying them, the awkwardness will not be too suffocating. How she manage the other sets is beyond her e

    THE GIFTS.A week passed in a blur. Both Zayn and Nana are getting tired of the guests that are coming. Some of them are their neighbours and some of them are Nana's. Nevertheless, they welcome them with a smile but after the third day, they hardly have guests to which they're very thankful to. The last time they had guests around, Nana welcomed them alone without Zayn or Maaysa's help and she's proud with how she handled them just well with not panic attack or nervousness sipping through her veins. Everything she did is the same thing any bride would do and she's very proud of herself now.Nana has met his family that live in the other house that's just behind them -uncle Aliyu and aunty Ramatu. They both welcomed her with opened arms and wide grin. They have two children -Mu'ayyad and Hidaya- they didn't come back with them from th

    SOMEONE FROM THE PAST. "Get dressed, mami. We'll stroll around the estate today. Greet my parents and then get some chocolates." Zayn said to Nana who was watching him as he comb and straighten his hair. She never gets tired of looking and touching his hair. She touched his hair at any giving opportunity and he doesn't know since he's sleeping all the time. Or so she thought."Yay!" Her eyes lit up when his words register in her mind. She was busy looking at the beautiful specie to even hear his words. Thank goodness she caught his words or she'd never hear the end of it."Stop shouting like a bairn! Now get dressed, I hate tardiness you know." Zayn settle on the white couch that's sitting at the other end of the room to wait for her."I don't know." She sassily replied before pacing to the closet to get dressed. If she talks to him, they'll keep bickering l

    HIS WORDS OUT.Zayn could see from the side of his eyes as his wife kept fidgeting on her seat at the passenger's side. She's itching to ask questions and trying to hide from her previous action which he very much liked. Her innocence is back with full force even before they left the place and that is just intriguing him to her every time. She's just full of do many things but she didn't let herself get too comfortable. He needs to change that, and that too soon. First, she'll ask him so many questions as soon as they settle in the house, he'll make sure she asks him. He's not ready to answer the answers I details but he wants her to ask him that will show how much she cared.You can't just see someone calling your husband baby and won't get jealous about it."Stop fidgeting." He rolled his eyes at her when she shot a glare at him. His feisty wife is back and he's welcoming her with open arms.

    HIS PAST."That girl was my wife." Even though Nana wanted nothing to do more than keep quite and listen more closely and reckfully, she couldn't help the gasp that escaped her mouth. That proved that she's in autopilot. That filthy woman was his wife? Why the heck did he marry her and why is she sounding so jealous herself? Well, she's his wife after all. She has all the rights to do that."She wasn't like this before or so I thought." He answered her unquestioned question but that didn't stop the jealousy from consuming her being. "Let's start from the beginning, shall we?" He chuckled when she frowned, she looks very cute but he wants to see her smile, so he trace his hand to smoothen the furrow around her brow and then draw a smile with his index and thumb fingers he continued when the smile didn't move.For some odd and unbeknownst reasons to him, he wants to tel

    GETTING DRESSED.After doing her morning routine -bathing, washing hair, brushing, drying her hair, wearing on a mustard light dress, with ruched waistband and crossover detail at the bust, she put on bakhoor, gab-gab, sandalwood and al khanjaar everywhere in the house and then walk into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them. Not knowing how to cook, Nana halted at frying Irish potatoes, sausage, samosa and egg sauce for them. She set everything in a different medium size cute warmers after she was done, before orchestrating the dining table. "What do we have here?" She heard her husband's deep voice from behind her and that surprisingly brought a huge smile to her face."Breakfast, I cooked!" She beamed, forgetting that he didn't kno

    LUNCHEON.As soon as she set her feet on the red carpeted floor, the aircon hit her face making her shiver a little before adjusting to it. Zayn noticed that and remove his hand from her waist to wrap it around her shoulder, gently tucking her into him. Weird but she's liking the heat his body radiates. She lean into him also, blushing when he crane his neck down to look at her. She's getting so comfortable with him and that's what makes his day bright and hopes nothing will ruin their time together. Just more prayers that he gets to make her more comfortable and she should learn to love him. She's already over her meticulous self, so he'll start trying the other side."You always take my breath when I look at you." He whispered to her as they continue to walk on the endless red carpet. The sincerity is clear as a day in his voice that she almost melted."Cheesy!" She teased,

    UNEDITED.Nana grinned evilly as they finished their breakfast. Weekends are her best days in the whole week, she gets her husband all to herself. Today, she's planned something for them but she already knew that Zayn will hate it and might even reject it but he has no choice. After doing the dishes, she called Maaysa and ask her whether she could look after Khumais for her for some hours. She told her that there is no problem and she will come and pick him."Cherub, we should go to the market today, what do you think?" She sat herself down on his laps, drawing her hands all around his face in a seductive way."Market? Me? No." He blatantly disagreed, looking at her like she grew a another head by the side."Are you saying no to me?" She raised a brow, distangling herself from him to which he protested with a groan and frown. Why is she been so difficult and crazy?"Why should I go

    Seven days after Naazwa's demise, everyone is now slowly getting out if their grieving situation and are now functioning a little more properly than before. The Borkan mansion's light is brought back but not like before, they are slowly trying to bring back the happiness that was there before because that is what Naazwa would've want them to have if she was there and alive.Nana, Maaysa and Rukayyah remembered that they need to do something to bring smiles and happiness in the mansion so they formed a small dinner for everyone in the compound. They invited everyone and set a dining room out in the backyard with mats and lights. They cooked a lot of food and even give some to the beggars in the evening and ask them to pray for Naazwa's light in the grave. The beggars were very happy and rain prayers to Naazwa making everyone happy at their thoughtful idea.Zayn's parents, Mu'ayyads parents, Nana's parents, Jumaimah, Maaysa, Rukayyah, Kadira

    UNEDITED.Nana also couldn't sleep a wink the whole night and she could feel Zayn's eyes behind her back. Naazwa's death is something that touched everybody's heart in the whole Borkan compound. Everyone is grieving with either puffy or red eyes. Nana cried her eyes out the whole day with Maaysa and Kaadira. They couldn't stay in the same room as the people passing condolence for their own tears will bring tears to the other peoples' eyes even if they don't want to. Kaadira locked her children with their maid with Mudassir also with them since he didn't know what was happening.No one even thought about him. He wouldn't understand but everyone knew that Hajiya Rehma is going to take Mudassir and bring him up herself, she will want Naazwa's flesh with her. That wasn't talked about but after three days, everyone has to come out of his and her shell and move on to what's ahead, life won't be stopped just because of someone's death, the

    "You think so?" Jumaimah asked, tilting her head to the side as she touched the texture of the hijab she is holding."I know so." Mu'ayyad grinned and continue to remove stacks of hijab from the vendor.She was silently sitting in her room when he called her and ask her for a stroll which she gladly accepted. While walking around the streets, they saw a middle aged man walking with rows of hijab in a hanger and Mu'ayyad stooped them saying the mint green one will look beautiful on her and that is how she find herself changing from this colour to that colour while the man only stared at them happily thinking the will buy a lot and they did.At the end of it, they took five hijabs and added tip to the man who kept raining prayers and praises on them because he will no longer hawk for the day and will take the money to his family so they could eat.

    Maaysa didn't like how her plan is trying to fail so she left the cafe and stood outside Hidaya's car then called her to come outside that she didn't lock her car. Hidaya grumbled and kept her meat pie before adjusting her heels and left the cafe to where Maaysa is. She opened her car and find it locked so Maaysa tricked her into this right? But for what?Maaysa knew Hidaya would come out if she is told that her car has problem because it has happened to her once. She left her car opened and the next thing she knew is that it disappeared so she stopped leaving chances for that and especially not to her favorite new car."Assalamu alaikum." She heard a masculine voice from behind her making her jump on her feet and would've being lying flat on the floor if not for the strangers hands around her shoulder. "I'm sorry I frighten you." That same voice apologized with a hint of concern and she melted before turning around to find the source of t

    "We can go out all together later, don't you think?" Nana asked the girls on the phone as she mix Khumais' cereal in a cute blue bowl for him. He woke up and started making a fuse so she has to make some for him."Yes, great idea. Hidaya can at least cool off some steam, right Hids?" Rukayyah laughed when Hidaya grunted into the phone.She saw Jumaimah with Mu'ayyad more than three timed and when she asked him if he likes her, he agreed and said he might even love her. He doesn't have any chance with Nana so why not have the other Nana, he's liked them both since then so he will just hit his drum. She's asked one of the renowned scholars if her marriage with Mu'ayyad is permissible and it is confirmed to be permissible in Islam since his parents didn't give birth to her. She wanted to start making her moves on Mu'ayyad but she backed out when he confessed and also she told Jumaimah about her almost growing feelings for her brother but not
