The weekend went by with Amira Studying for her exams and had built a bond with Sha'ir im the past two days.

"What time will you be back Amira?" Mama asked Amira who was stuffing her face with food. She swallowed the food in her mouth before replying her aunt

"Probably before 1:00pm, the flight is 2:00pm so I will make it before time" She was going to write her exam before they leave for Kano along with her Uncle and his family.

She washed her hands before bidding her Aunt Goodbye and Borrowed Ihsan's car keys and left for University. She Came back home shortly stressed out about the exams and met everyone Packing their clothes for the final time.

"Okay Baby, I won't Insha Allah" Ihsan Uttered with her phone against her ear as she talked to someone which Amira concluded to be Samir, Her so called boyfriend.

Mama entered the room and Ihsan abruptly dropped the phone and continued packing her stuff while Amira stuffed back her laughter at Ihsan's scared expression when Mama Came inside.

"Tell the maids to bring your luggage already, We will be leaving in five minutes. Go to the Car" Both Ihsan And Amira Nodded before heading to the car and Mama followed them after locking the house.

The ride to the Airport was fun with the three ladies Miming to the songs that was being played while their parents laughed at their childishness. By the time the car that picked them up from the airport reached The main gate that leads to the house, Amira was exhausted to the core. The car drove pass different sections and headed to the Main house where Dada is staying and they all alighted the car while the driver took the luggages to Abba's side as instructed.

Khalid is sitting down on Dada's royal carpet besides her munching on Tuwon Madara when they came in. Spotting Amira, he jumped up and ran to give his favorite sister a hug as she engulfed him. Every one of them greeted Dada who responded nonchalantly and Khalid told The ladies Yasmin is in Their Side of the house and they headed there leaving Dada with Abba and Mama.

"Aunty Amira " Zainab, Her cousin's daughter called out getting up from Ahmad's laps and wrapped her hands around Amira.

Amira picked her up in her arms teasing her as she laughed before greeting Ahmad and winked at Yasmin who sat down across him. Yasmin noticed Sa'ada who just came in along with Ihsan and stood up to meet her favorite cousin.

"Go back to your fiancé , We will talk later" Sa'a ushered her before she went inside saying she will greet Umma while Ihsan and Amira went to the other parlor with Zainab babbling away.

Two days after that, Amina and their cousins came to kano saying Sadiq and Faisal will be joining them along with their wives.

Later at night, The four Danbatta brothers and their families were all in Dada's Parlor waiting for her to tell them the reason she summoned all of them. While the adults were on the couch, The grandchildren sat down on the carpet.

"I don't want any shenanigans during this wedding the way you did last time" Dada warned and Amira smiled knowing she's talking to her, Ihsan and Nabila who is their cousin in particular.

Dada kept on warning on what should happen and what should not before dismissing her grandchildren and told her children and their spouses to stay back.

Nabila, Ihsan and Amira have already decided they are staying in the same room at Abba's side so they headed there and immediately they entered the room, Nabila's phone Rang and she answered. The two couldn't hear what the person on the other side was saying but indicting from Her replies, They understood it was a guy.

"Wait! For real?" She screamed making Amira and Ihsan to give her the eye and she silenced down "Whatever, Don't prank me like that again please" She talked for few more minutes before saying Goodnight and ended the call.

"Who is he" Both Ihsan and Amira chorused.

"My friend also Sadiq's Bestfriend" She added and told them everything about him.

"Hmmm, Both you and The Abubakar should not forget Dada ooo" Amira said before adding "And you too Ihsan".

"Don't worry Amira, We will see how you will act when you fall in love" Nabila uttered

Amira ignored the two and went on Instagram to see Sha'ir message.
