Destined to be yours:chapter 1

Nouran!! My mother called me from the kitchen. I'm coming ammi.

So my name is nouran hammed. 21 years old and a Nigerian. I live with my parents at asokoro. I'm light skinned and I have a petite body.

So apparently, my mum is having visitors today so we have cleaned the house and currently cooking dinner.

Ohh nour, the visitors will be arriving soon and you are still here. Go and have your bath and please look presentable. But ammi, why I do have to be here with you, it will just be some old people talk, how do I fit in. Please ammi just let me stay up in my room and I promise I won't disturb you.

Will you shut up there, you will be coming downstairs to greet the guests and you will also stay there until they leave and that is final. Since I have no choice, I reluctantly gave in and went to have my bath. Immediately I finished bathing, I came out out of the bathroom and went to my closet to pick out my clothes. It is times like this I wish that my father doesn't like traveling. But unfortunately for me, he is currently in Paris for a business meeting. Ever since I came back home from school. Ever one has been pestering me about marriage, now that I am done with my education, why don't I get married. What they don't understand is that if I decide to get married, it will be to the man I love. I can't help but get the feeling that this guests ammi is having are ni ordinary guests. Since I have no other option, I dress casually in a pink lace and apply a little makeup on my face. Immediately i'm done, I go downstairs to help ammi with the rest of the dishes before her guests arrive. It was around seven thirty in the evening when the guests finally arrived. They were five in number. Two girls who look my age, their mother, a boy who looked older and a really cute little girl. After we exchanged pleasantries, I found out that the two girl's names are maryam and Amal, their older brother anwar, and the little cutie named husna. Their mother hajiya fati was asking me when I was I going to get married. Ohh all this old women and their wahala.

Well I haven't really thought about marriage since I came back from school and besides there are hardly any suitors coming around. After I answered her, I looked up only to find anwar smirking at me. I just rolled my eyes and continued chatting with the girls.

It wasn't until eight o clock before ammi ushered everyone to the dinning room for dinner. After dinner, the spent thirty more minutes before the finally. I was so relived and of course I didn't have to pray since it was my TOM. So I quickly took a bath, changed into my pajamas and was about to retire to bed when ammi came into the room.

Ohh ammi why did you have to stress, you should have called for me to come and meet you. Ohh nouran, its nothing. So I wanted to ask you what you thought of anwar and his family. I think I know where this is going but I decided to just play along. I think they are really nice ammi. But why did you ask me?. Its nothing dear just go to sleep. Your Brother is coming back tomorrow. good night dearie. And don't forget to recite your adkhar before you sleep. Alright ammi, I will. Good night. Sleep tight.

😘😘💖
