The girls woke up all around five in the morning and prayed together with Ammar who leads all the prayers for them at home as he was late for mosque. He landed around ten the night before and that was how they couldn't sleep because everyone has a lot to fill the other. They talked for a long time before their mother chased them away to their rooms.

Nadirah and Manal share the same room with two twin beds while Lulu and Ni'imah share one with the same furniture only has different colours. One room has fascia furniture while the other has lilac according to their favorite colour.

Aisha Ilham got dressed quickly into one of her loose denim boot cut pants and white v-neck body hug then she draped her new abaya on top of it. She wanted to dress up since she most likely will meet a lot of her fans there but she didn't want to over dress up because of the work she has to face in her building with those stubborn young rich ladies adding her sisters as another stress. To top it all, Hibba said she won't be there because she is still ill.

Removing a denim Goyard cross bag, she put it around her shoulder and stopped it across her stomach where she placed her phone, keys and other necessities. She wrapped her denim veil instead of the one that came along with the abaya because she wants to match with all she is going to wear. She pushed her feet into a four inch denim coloured stiletto and left her room to get Eshal dressed for the grand day ahead of them.

She found her awake and even dressed while sitting on the small chaise in her room. She is wearing a denim coloured wrap skirt and lipstick coloured halter neck shirt looking very cute with some gloss glimmering her lips.

Her room is not as big as the other rooms in the two storey building but it is enough for her. There is a blush pink queen sized bed in the middle, two twin bed side tables, her small chaise, fascia pink furry carpet and mini vanity table. She has a corner that is turned to a closet and her bathroom.

"Who dressed you up like a baby doll?" Aisha Ilham asked her daughter, walking deeper into the room with her heela clicking on the white tiled floor blanketing the ground.

"Aunty Ni'ima. She said she missed me and wanted to dress me up like always." She grinned, showing her moving teeth. The teeth is about to leave it's place and she was impatient about it so whenever she opens her mouth, she moved it around and play.

"Stop stressing that tooth or you will end up toothless." She scolded, bringing her down from the chaise and they start to make their way downstairs where they could hear commotion from all crook and nook around the house.

When she landed on the last stair steps, she saw them all dressed like models but haven't done their makeups because they decided to make themselves up at eshalshome. She wish they will just dress up and leave but knowing them, she won't even argue.

Nadirah and Ni'ima are wearing a black mermaid skirt that fitted them with white off shoulder t shirt. She could see their graduation gowns and caps on the couch. That brought a smile to her lips before she moved her eyes to Lulu and Manaal, they have their hands on their phones furiously typing very fast. Lulu is featuring black sailor pants and white button up shirt and Manaal has black skinny jeans and thigh length halter neck shirt with cape sleeves.

"You girls look breathtakingly beautiful. Ya Allah, with so much beauty in one place, this room might blow up." Ammar who just landed from the stairs enthusiastically said giving the girls all a look from head to toe.

Ammar is their only male cousin and he was with them since the very beginning of their lives and they can't even recall a moment when he wasn't in the picture. His mother is their mother's elder sister and she only has two children, Ammar and Salma. Ammar is twenty eight and has graduated since four years ago. He completed his masters, and service which took three years. Now he is back and ready to start business alongside Manaal.

Ammar is very handsome from everyone's point of view. He has the bronze skin Ni'ima has and because he is a man, it looks better on him and not to talk about his muscles that he won't stop blabbing about. He has a room filled with gym stuff at the back of their home in the boy's quarters and the girls didn't mind because they visit the place whenever they are out of shape.

Now he came down dressed in jeans and denim button up with a black leather jacket on top. His has trimmed his beard and combed it nicely across his face. If not that they grew up together and are only family, they would've swooned at the cheesy grin he release to get girls on his side.

"I know right and you look so dull." Nadirah rolled her eyes at him and started stuffing her face with the Irish potatoes that Uwani served.

"Aunt, can you hear this small girl?" He pivoted his attention to Aisha Ilham's mother Hajia Nusaiba who only shook her head and let out a small chuckle.

"You guys will only pour sand in my eyes so I'd rather keep quite." She shook her head from side to side and continue to eat quietly.

"Please, you all should be fast because I have a lot of things to round up before going to this graduation of yours. I can't even do that when I have you all around hopping up and down like new born frogs, just have your food and let's leave in peace please, I'm begging you now." Aisha Ilham hufffed and sat down on the head table opposite the one her mother is occupying and served little sausage, potatoes and scrambled eggs to her plate hearing commotion dying down.

They finished eating and moved around the house everyone trying to take the last touches of their outfit before they all filed out of the house leaving no one but the walls to themselves. They left in the family Sienna and she let Ammar drive after much persistence. She doesn't like being the passenger and especially not when Ammar is the driver, he likes rough driving. There was one time when he got them into an accident and Ni'ima ended up with a scarred brow.

Their mother will drive herself later when she is dressed and when it started.

Arriving at Eshalshome, they all got down from the car and made their way inside taking time to look at the little things she's changed from the time they left till now. There was a great improvement since the workers now have a boysenberry coloured shirt with either black palazzo pants or skinny jeans or even skin tights. She gave them option and asked them to specifically come early today because it is going to be a busy day.

Ammar went up the stair to where he will start his small business while the girls all split up to get themselves ready before 9AM. Around eight dot, Kulthoom and Qismah's monster roared from the building's transparent glass double doors and she could see how her sisters stopped to gape at the monster because not so surprising, they all have this fetish for cars and especially sport ones so this unique one has them gaping with mouth hang open.

Few second later, another monster roared McLaren Senna and their breathes hitched. How filthy rich are these girls? It was only Aisha Ilham that knows who those cars belong to and a few of her staff that were present the day before when they came. Even they stopped to gape and it was like a show that happened in slow motion when the girls sauntered out from each car looking divine.

Qismah is wearing an obsidian coloured hollow out lace outwork maxi dress and it's sleeveless with stand collar and it stopped a little before her toe and Kulthoom is spotting mid calf length dress, hiskory coloured and regular sleeves. It is tightened around her busts but flowed down open down her body with a belt.

Aisha Ilham snapped out of her trance when the moved closer and so did her sisters because if there is one thing they hate, is getting matched at by rich people. Aisha Ilham has already removed her abaya and is only wearing what she wore underneath. She placed her bright smile across her lips and went to the door to welcome them.

"We are here so early just because we don't want you to stay up waiting for us. It was a struggle though, she didn't want to wake up." Qismah greeted Aisha Ilham with those words pointing her finger at her older sister.

"Hey, don't put the blame all on me. Even Ya Aashif didn't want to wake up and he was the one who dragged till now and it was all your fault because you don't want me to drop you at your school. So hush!" Kulthoom retorted back and they trudged inside the building stopping to access the Shagari sisters.

They knew the girls go to the same school as Kulthoom but she could swear that she has never bumped into any of them. They look more beautiful in person and look very alike and have gentle faces unlike the pictures where they look stern and bratty. Both girls released a smile and went to give each one of them a handshake while they introduce each other. Aisha Ilham could only watch the well mannered rich girls interact easily with her sisters and even became tight friends at the spot.

"I can do your makeup." Nadirah said to her new tight friend Qismah even though she is two years younger than her, they have the same height but Nadirah will only show her the curves while Qismah is skinny and would look taller than Nadirah from afar.

"Nah, I want my first makeup to be from Aisha Ilham so I could tick it out from my bucket list." Qismah grinned when Nadirah rolled her eyes at her thinking that having a bucket list with her sister's name is absurd.

She likes the girl at first glance and knew their friendship will have no bound. They both never had best friends and now that they've found each other, they will be the best best friends in town. They both have the same behavior and are always jumpy and enthusiastic so they will clash out just fine. Aisha Ilham smiled from the side because it looks like all her sisters found new friendships in the two filthy rich sisters.

"Aisha Ilham, you've got your name in a bucket list so come and get it ticked!" She heard Nadirah called out from the makeup room so she smiled and made her way there, leaving the bunch of twenty something year olds to enjoy the little conversation when they promised that Kulthoom will get her makeup first before Qismah but look where they are now.

In no time, she is done with Qismah's makeup and Kulthoom is not done talking with her new friends. They kept talking about the day and she even invited them to the small party she arranged later to celebrate her birthday and being a graduate so she wants to make it small with only friends and family.

"Kulthoom, I think I will let one of them do the makeup for you and I'm going to leave with Nadirah and Qismah so they could drop me there while you guys suffocate with Ammar. I don't have much time here and don't worry, Ni'ima is great with makeup. Buh bye!" They ran out of the home with Nadirah and Qismah trailing behind her as she clutched her abaya in her arms, leaving a crying Eshal with them. She didn't even noticed that her mother has disappeared from her view.

Aisha Ilham was asked to get into the McLaren Senna and that Qismah's brother will drop both her and Nadirah at the university and her sister will go with the girls. Aisha Ilham and Nadirah glance at the car with perplexity because it is small and can't take more than two people. But Qismah is not willing to give up so she ask them to sit together in the small car. It was uncomfortable but they will survive.

"Ya Aashif, this is the famous Aisha Ilham and her youngest sister Nadirah, and this is my oldest brother, Aashif." She beamed at him, not knowing that he knew who she is front and back and is just ready to make his move to challenge this feisty looking woman.

"Good morning." The sisters greeted from beside, taking in the interior of the car and not bothering to look up at him but that was before Aisha Ilham heard the deepest rumble of voice that still has the gentleness in it.

"Morning." He smiled at the rear mirror when his eyes met hers for a split second before gearing the monster in a loud roar and they speed down the sleek roads of Lagos to UniLag.

Aashif smiled internally because this day kept getting greater because first, he learnt that his sisters are going to Aisha Ilham earlier that morning which woke him up from his sleep and got dressed in one if his nicest men double breasted charcoal suit and wore. His first game should start today, things are speeding themselves and all thanks to his adoring sisters. He even forgot to compliment his sister, he could feel her quelling glare from beside so he gave her a quick glance.

"You look beautiful by the way." He smirked when she smiled in triumph and leaned back to her sit.

Aisha Ilham watched keenly before glancing to the window.
