Jadwa

"Baby you can finish it tomorrow okay we're not in a hurry" Sultan said to me for the second time,

It was Thursday night and tomorrow morning we were going to abuja so i was packing his clothes

It was just 9pm but he kept insisting that I should stop packing and leave it till tomorrow but I didn't want to,

"Its not that late" i said placing his shoes gently in their own suit case,

"Done" i said trying to take them downstairs

"Aa Jadwa you're not taking these things down now" he warned

"Sit" he ordered tapping the space close to him on his couch

I gently sat down exhaling deeply

"Sannu" he said and I replied with a "thank you"

He then removed something from his pocket then he held my hand and unclipped the shiny silver bracelet putting it gently around my wrist,

"There" he said smiling

"From my heart to you" he whispered and I couldn't help but blush even though I don't know the status of our relationship right now,

"Thank you" i said touching the bracelet

It was so shiny and i wont be surprised if it was made out of diamonds but come on who am i?

We stayed there for a bit till I started dozing then he escorted me to my room and immediately my head hit the pillow i was off,

I made early breakfast the next morning and around 11 we were off

There was no much convoy today, its just Sultan's limousine and two other cars

About 1 hour into the trip we stopped and a guard rushed to the car i was in,

"His majesty said you should come sit in his car" he said and left immediately

I gently went down and entered the limo sitting uncomfortably

"Relax babe no one is chasing you" he joked

"Here" he handed me a glass of juice I guess

"Thank you" I whispered collecting it from him

"Wow" I mentally said looking at the interior of the car, it was so amazing no wonder he never look exhausted after a trip,

I'm trying so hard to be totally free with him now because I really want to, even though I don't know what the future holds at least for a moment let me be happy,

And that is exactly what i have to do,

I gently drank the juice and rested my back behind the chair,

"Here" he gently said coming close to me to adjust the chair so it could go back and be more comfortable

"Oh! Thank you" I exclaimed

"You're Welcome" he replied adjusting his side to the level of mine too

"What is it?" He asked when he caught me starring at him

"Aa nothing" I replied smiling,

I turned my head to the direction of the movie playing,

I didn't even know when i slept off because the car was so comfortable,

I felt eyes on me when i was about to wake up so I opened my eyes gently to meet Sultan looking at me,

"We're here" he whispered

I gently got up looking out of the window

"When did we arrive?" I asked putting on my shoes

"An hour ago" he replied smiling

"Oh God and you didn't wake me up?" I asked ready to go out

"You were peacefully sleeping and I didn't want to be the one to destroy that" he said and i just smiled and opened the door

"Pray so we can go and eat"

"Go?" I asked because I've never seen him eat in a restaurant

"Yes"

So I didn't say anything again i just nodded and went and prayed

"Are you done?" He asked and i nodded

"Shall we" he asked again raising his brows so i nodded and we left

The driver drove for like 15 minutes and parked in front of a giant 3 story building, just one horn the gigantic gate opened and we entered,

I was absent for some time before i came back to my senses when sultan said "were here"

Immediately we went down a beautiful kinda chubby woman came out from the front door,

She was wearing a black abaya with silver glitter design on it, she tied her head with a pink veil and she was smelling so nice,

"Yarima!!" She shouted hugging Sultan,

"Hajjaju Dija" sultan said to her smiling widely

"1000 days look at you" she said looking at Sultan

I was heart broken for a moment, then she looked at me and Sultan turned to look at me too then she smiled,

"Jadwa?" She asked and sultan nodded

"Welcome" she said hugging me but I didn't even know what to do because the question ringing in my mind is "how did she know my name?"

"Good evening Ma" I greeted

"Ma? C'mon Jadwa call me Dija please"she insisted so I smiled

"Let's take this inside shall we?" She said and Sultan nodded and followed her with me following behind them,

"Wow" i said out loud when i saw the interior,

I saw a big family portrait and that was where i saw Ayush, she didn't look like any one in the house,

The parlor wasn't as big as sultan's but the decorations were so homely and expensive,

She then led us to the big dinning hall

"Feel at home okay, Mama is coming" then she went and immediately returned with someone who looked exactly like her

"Sultan" she called and he got up immediately to hug her

"No wonder rain is about to fall" she joked and they both chuckled

"Good evening ma" I greeted shyly

"Masha Allah" she said smiling

"She's Jadwa" Dija quickly said

"Welcome to our home Jadwa" she said smiling warmly and I returned the favor

"Sit" she ordered and i went back and sat down immediately

I ate quietly listening to their conversations and laughing at things that are funny and keeping a straight face when its deep,

We finished and stayed for a bit before Sultan said it was late so we left

"I'll see you at the wedding koh?" Dija asked and I looked at sultan then he smiled and nodded so I looked at her and said "yes"

"Adorable" she whispered "good night guys"

"You're tired koh?" He asked

"Not really" I replied yawning

"Uhum" he exclaimed smiling

Immediately we got home he just said good night and left,

I went out the next morning smelling something like musain's scent

"How did i know his scent?" I dont even know

And my instincts were right because immediately he saw he he shouted "Jadwaaa!!!!"

I smiled cautiously looking at sultan

"How are you?" He asked looking at me so happily

"I'm fine, million days" i said and he smiled

We talked for a bit before they went out,

The wedding starts tomorrow which is Tuesday and since that Saturday I didn't see Mus'ain,

"Jadwa I'll be back later kinji? Or should i drop you at maman farrah's place?" He asked and kept quiet a bit then i nodded

At least I won't be bored, so he took me there and said he will come pick me up in the evening,

"I love you" he whispered loud enough for only me to hear,

I smiled shyly then he left,

I wasn't bored at all because Aunty hanny was free with me and also farrah was there,

Immediately after dinner i went to help clear the kitchen when I heard his voice so I quickly finished and went out,

"See you tomorrow" she said and i smiled and patted farrah's back

"Here, Dija said I should give you" he said giving me a gift bag

I collected it and peeped seeing clothes inside,

"Oh God its her wedding anko" i mentally said because i saw one of them back at aunty Hannys

"Thank you" I whispered

"You'll see her and thank her at the bridal shower tomorrow," he said "oh I forgot" he said again putting his hand in the pocket to remove a tiny card "Here" he handed me the card which was the pass for the bridal shower,

I collected it and kept it in the bag

"It's gonna be one hell of a wedding" I taught because i don't know anyone there and i dont even deserve to be there because i am just a maid but here i am, they're all treating me like a friend........

See y'all in the next chapter 😘😘😘
