Farah's POV

I landed in Abuja and ordered an Uber straight home, my knee bouncing the entire ride.

I hadn't told anyone I was coming back today — I'd let them all believe my exams ran until next week. I wanted to walk through that gate and watch their faces.

"We're here, ma'am," the driver said.

I paid him, hauled my luggage out, and knocked on the gate myself instead of calling ahead.

It swung open.

Zafeer.

"Ya Farah!" He barreled into me before I could even set my bag down, arms locking aroun

  • Beyond The Scars    Chapter Nineteen

    Farah's POVI was bored out of my mind. Zafeer had left for madrasah hours ago, and I still had almost two months before school resumed. I missed Zinat and Rodeeyah more than I expected to.I kept turning over what Mami and Aunty Hameedah had been discussing in the parlor. Not that I was trying to eavesdrop, but Mami never asked me to leave a room for a conversation. Never.My phone buzzed with the adhan notification for Asr.I made ablution, wore my khimar, and prayed. By the time I'd finished my adhkar, folded my mat, and settled onto my bed, Mami was already at my door."Mami, has Aunty left?" I asked."Yes.""So soon?""She only came to tell me something important.""Oh. Okay then."She sat beside me on the bed, and something in the way she settled there, unhurried, deliberate, made me look at her twice."So what brings you here? You need something?""No. I just want to ask you something," she said."No problem, Mami. I'm listening."She studied my face for a moment before speakin

    Author's POVA Week After the WeddingAlhaji Sanni had asked Hameedah to come sit with him, said there was something on his mind he wanted to settle."Hameedah, I've been thinking about something for a few days now," he said, once she'd taken her seat."I'm listening.""Abdulrahim should get married soon. When he finishes school and takes over the company, I want him already settled. A family man, not a boy still figuring himself out."Hameedah nodded slowly, turning the thought over."I've been thinking the same thing, actually. Should we start looking for someone suitable?""I already have someone in mind.""Masha'Allah." She sat up a little straighter. "Who?""Farah. The one whose sister's wedding we attended not long ago. We know the family well, and from what you've told me over the years, she's well raised."Hameedah's face broke into a smile before she'd even finished processing it."That's... that's actually perfect.""Will you speak to her mother about it?""Of course.

    Farah's POVOur bride wore gold that night, a dress and matching turban and veil, while the rest of us, her girls, were dressed in wine. The hall was already full when it was time for our entrance.Our first song was "Aye" by Davido. The moment it started, we swept in with photographers lined up in front of us, the crowd cheering and clapping as we hit our choreography and froze in formation at the center of the hall.Then "Buga" by Kizz Daniel dropped, and we split into two lines with Ya Nadia between us, picking the choreography back up. The cheering climbed with every count.We closed ranks again as the groom and his men made their entrance to "All Over" by Tiwa Savage, the bride and groom meeting in the middle while the rest of us framed them, still dancing.The whole room was on its feet.When it ended, the couple took their seats, and the rest of us took ours, breathless.---"Wow!

    Farah's POVI slept far later than I meant to. My whole body felt like it had been folded and unfolded a dozen times, and when I finally dragged myself downstairs, the house was already humming with reception prep. Mami was on the phone with the caterers, Zafeer was underfoot with a tray of chin chin he wasn't supposed to be eating yet, and I still had hours before I needed to think about getting dressed.I was halfway through breakfast when the doorbell rang."Farah, get that," Mami called from the kitchen, too deep in her caterer negotiation to move.I opened the gate and found Abdulrahim standing there with Nuri's small backpack slung over one shoulder and Nuri herself half asleep against his side."Aunty Hameedah has last minute errands before tonight," he said. "She asked if Nuri could stay here till the reception.""Oh. Okay." I stepped back to let them in. "Zafeer's around somewhere, she can hang out with him."Nuri perked up at the mention of Zafeer and wandered off toward the

    Farah's POVBy Wednesday, the whole house had shifted into a new gear.Today the groom's family was bringing the kayan lefe, the bride's gifts, so Ya Nadia had gone to wait at Ya Rufaydah's place while I stayed back to cook for the guests."Farah, go tell your sister to hurry and leave. Does she want them to meet her here?" Mami called from the kitchen.I went and passed the message along, and ten minutes later Ya Nadia was gone.By one, the guests arrived with fifteen boxes between them. We fed them, Mami sat with them a while, and then they left.Zara and I hauled the boxes into Mami's room and called Ya Nadia to come home. She made us swear not to open a single one before she got there.When she finally arrived, we tore into them one after another. Wallahi, I wished I owned half of what was inside, lace, ankara, abayas, jewelry, bags, shoes, skincare, more than I could count. We admired every piece, packed it all back up, and Zara and I filmed the whole haul to send to Asma.The ne

  • Beyond The Scars    Chapter Fourteen

    Farah's POVAfter Ya Mukhtar and his friends left, we all pressed Ya Nadia to open the last box. It was already past seven, an hour past when the party was supposed to have ended.She lifted the lid... and inside sat a Mercedes-Benz key.The room exploded."Oh my God, someone actually bought her a car! But who?"Then she found a letter tucked beneath it and started reading it out loud."Nadia, even if I've never shown it or told you before, I love you. I'm so happy my baby is getting married. It feels like only a blink since you were born. I was so happy then, even if I never really acted like it. I hope you enjoy today. Yours truly, Da..."She never finished the name. The key clattered to the floor, and she was already halfway up the stairs before any of us could react.What was that?I told Zara and Asma to see the last of the guests out, then went up after her.---She was on the floor when I found her, knees pulled to her chest, crying too hard to answer when I asked what happened
