The very next day, the wedding frenzy kicked on, it was the day of the Kamu, a hausa traditional sort of a compulsory event for every hausa lady,

Noori declined Rahila's and Hadiza's invite to follow them go check out the already decorated hall, instead she manipulated her sister into following them,

Again she declined Zullu's and Tawa's invite to follow them to get their henna done, along side other bridesmaid who will be joining them there

"Come on when was the last time you got a henna" Zullu complained up in the penthouse, Noori who was in a knee lenght robe, her hair in a messy bun and was stuffing her mouth with a chocolate pie shrugged

"It will look good on you" Tawa insisted

"It isn't in my schedule" she said with another shrug and she took another spoonfull of the pie,

"You can reschedule, please do it for me" Zullu pleaded

"No" Noori drawled, just when Yusuf came down

"Can you please tell your wife to go with us for the henna, our appointment is in an hour" Zullu asked him,

"Babe you....

"No" Noori quickly stopped him

"Come on, it's being long i see it on you, it will look perfect on that flawless skin of yours" he said as he took both her palms and planted a soft kiss on each

"I don't wanna" she whinned

"Come on Zullu is trying to fix things" he whispered to her and she regarded him,

"Pweett pweeeesss" he pleaded with a pout,

"Fine" she gave in,

"That's my girl, i promise to teach you to fly the glider" he said and pecked her on the lips.

Their henna session took 3 hours tops and by late noon they had their perfectly and beautiful red henna design on both their hands, palm and feet, and true to Yusuf's words the redish maroonish design contrasted beautiful with Noori's toned and shimmery skin.

Towards the evening Noori refused to get her make up done in the same studio with Tawa, Anisa and the bride and other bridesmaids, instead Kamal flew in Oshewa make up artist from lagos to cake his wife and her sister up casually for the event,

And typical Ali always having the eyes for the best of things, she canceled her makeup appointment readily when Ameerah offered to pay for her make up.

Come 8pm the event center was already full of action, with family and friends of the groom and the bride, the musical air was full of excitement as hugs, greetings and gossips were exchange, already Umma and her junior sister were seated round a table together with Zullu's mother and some of her family and friends,

Everything and everyone was set and ready for the arrival of the bride for the Kamu and their wait was cut short when she made her entrance in a her gorgeous grey tailored gown that was full of embroidery in all angles, her fitted lace fitted gown wasn't at all shinny but it looked regal, even her perfect well tied head gear commended the sense of the beautiful bride,

Zullu was flanked by six of her friends including Tawa and Anisa, they were in same colored Ankara all glammed up for the occasion, Zullu's face was hid behind the a transparent veil which will be taken off the grooms family as she is sprayed all over with assorted perfume and that is KAMU!.

After her entrance, Ali, Noori and Ameerah arrived, they were met by their sisters who also flew to Abuja that morning to attend Zullu's wedding.

And during the occasion Zullu's relative who knew Noori kept gushing about her changes, anywhere she stepped, she was taking the spot light.
