Zara
"Mm this is delicious. You know, I've never had this dish even though my mother is Igbo. She's more gourmet than anything else. But this is spectacular. I've been missing a lot..." Aminu complimented, but all I could think about was the anxiety associated with the fact that Aminu's mother was coming to town soon and I would soon meet her.
Contrary to what people thought, I wasn't not very excited to meet her as the scenes with me and the rest of Aminu's family members weren't very delightful or pleasant. Meeting her might very well solidify the fact that none of them would accept me. Well I still was not sure where I stood with his father. That was also a problem.
"Baby.. Zara" Aminu tapped and called before my mind came back from wonderland.
"Oh, sorry what were you saying" I said blinking rapidly. I didn't know what he said beyond missing a lot.
"I was saying how I love th
ZaraWhat was she doing here? I was already very relieved that my prospective mother in law was being super nice to me and now my nightmare on legs walks in? Was this a curse or what?Aminu's mother also looked disturbed. Lakisha was probably a known problematic figure."Well, what an awesome surprise" Aminu's mother said."Hi mom" Lakisha said walking towards us. I looked at Aminu who looked very pissed. He seemed like he was giving his sister a warning through his eyes.Lakisha walked up to us and gave her mother a hug. "Hi bro," she said, not bothering to hug him or acknowledge me. It was expected though since she had made it abundantly clear that she didn't like me."What are you doing here Kiki you didn't tell me you were coming," Aminu's mother said looking very worried. Something wasn't right."Well, am I not allowed to come see my
AminuI immediately pulled over because I was literally seeing red. Zara had just told me that she saw a resemblance with my son and Patrick? Patrick?? I was livid, why would she ever think that."Aminu why'd you pull over" she said with surprise."What the fucking hell are you talking about?" I yelled. I was glad I didn't use my driver today. This was a very private conversation.She closed her eyes and sighed "I.. I haven't been able to look at that boy closely but today, I saw his face very well. I had a good two minutes to look and him properly and thank God that your family compound is bright at night. Try picturing Nasir's face beside Patrick's" she explained.I almost got angry at her but then again, she may have a point. I didn't need anyone to tell me that Zara is literally the most observant person I'd ever seen and very smart as well. Most of her words were accurate. An
ZaraTayo and Tiara's wedding, tagged The T2 Affair was just a few days away and we were getting prepared for it like our lives depended on it, mostly because of Tiara's crankiness and perfectionist attitude. Tanna was fed up but I really didn't mind. I hadn't started planning my own wedding but who knew I could be worse.Aminu was actually better now than few weeks ago when I told him about the resemblance between Patrick and Jasmine. He told me that he managed to get a few strands of hair from Nasir and would proceed to getting a test done on them both and also I advised him to get them to check if they were related in any other way. This was to be sure if Patrick was the father of that child.I went into the Matopeda stall where Anita, Tanna and Tiara were already waiting for me. I came in late because Aminu came to my office in need of a quickie which was enjoyable but the stunts he pulled sometimes were very
Zara."So Lakisha..." I said but was abruptly cut off"Kiki.. please call me kiki" Lakisha interrupted and I smiled."Kiki it is.." I said and she continued eating "why didn't you like me at first. Is it just what Jasmine told you or something else.""Well, partly what Jazz said about you but more like, I didn't really know much about you prior to that so I actually thought your intentions weren't pure. She also made it seem as though you were stopping Aminu from coming close to his son." She said.I smiled "well, Aminu and I don't even discuss Jasmine and Nasir. Some times he talked about Nasir but never Jasmine except she did something. And I don't control Aminu. He's a man that handles his business his way. I don't meddle even when he involves me." I said and continued with my food. I just had to clarify things with her so that
Zara.It was Tiara and Tayo's white wedding day or should I say Pink wedding day by virtue of Tiara deciding to be rebellious and wear a Pink wedding dress. We were all in the hotel getting read and Tanna and I had our own room with Lakisha who decided to join us there. Anita was the maid of honor so she had to stay with the bride.The hotel suite was littered with makeup products, hair products and boxes that belonged to us and the makeup artists and ring lights everywhere. We all stayed in a corner doing our makeup when Aminu FaceTimed me. He looked fresh and already wearing his groomsman suit with dark sunglasses on."Hey Princess" he said through the phone."Wow you look good." I said not able to hold the complement in. He really looked breathtaking."Of course I do." He said. Ve
Zara.The wedding was stunning. The most emotional I'd ever seen. And I thought Aminu and I'd engagement was emotional. I was lost for words during the vows that a tear almost rolled down my eyes. I felt as so much love and genuineness was poured into those vows and I was blown away. It made me imagine how my wedding would be. I looked across the platform to where Aminu was sitting. It turns out his eyes were also on me.He smiled at me and I grinned.He then mouthed a 'Love you' which I reciprocated and turned back to the event. Tanna was bawling her eyes out beside me. For some reason, she took it more personal than I did. I just hoped things with her and Louis were going fine because she was always avoiding the topic so I decided not to meddle.The wedding ceremony had come to an end and I was mingling with my friends and waiting for the go ahead to the dome where the after party was to be held, w
Aminu.The wedding was a blast but what would be a better blast was having my woman by on top of me, fulfilling that delicious promise she made just before the wedding. We were about to go on our own honeymoon tonight.After the wedding was over and I was done with my grooms man duties, I went over to the table at which my sister, Zara and her friends were seated at. The issue was that from afar, I noticed that Zara was not there with them. I decided to go closer to see if I could get an answer as to where she went."Lotanna, where's Zara?" I asked when I finally got to her front. She had this worried look on her face and I just hoped and prayed that nothing was wrong with my Zara."I was about to come look fo you and Louis. Zara went home to get the gifts she forgot over an hour ago and hasn't returned." She said and my heart began knocking in my chest."What? Have you called her
Zara."Where are you taking me??" I yelled and strong hands latched onto me and carried me through the woods and bushes. I was utterly scared for my life as I wept for release."Please.." I cried "please release me." I said but I got no response from the person who carried me. I couldn't see his face. I could only hear the grunts coming from his throat as he stomped his feet in the leaves, taking me to God knows where."Please somebody help" I screamed but my voice just echoed through the empty wood. "Please" I screamed, thinking that someone, anyone would come to my rescue.Aminu, Louis. Where was everyone when I needed them the most. Where were they.I fought the urge to give up and kept screaming for help.Suddenly my body harshly hit the ground and I almost hit my head. I still couldn't see the face of the
