Faherths’ party was full of his close friends and supporters. They were all busy — Auwal kept answering calls non-stop from every direction because Faherths didn’t like to be on social media; he said this wasn’t a love marriage and didn’t want people celebrating it like one. Auwal did his best to advise him because he loved her, but he couldn’t stop the worry in his heart since he felt the responsibility for this marriage lay heavily on him and Faherths’ family.
While Auwal was busy, Champion’s phone kept ringing because everyone was calling him too — but since Champion is playfully unreliable, he wouldn’t pick up every call. Auwal begged them: “Please hurry and get ready — in 50 minutes they’ll call us.” He rushed to prepare Champion and said, “If you want, after you arrive I’ll send a message to the bride’s family.” Champion asked what message — just call and I’ll deliver anything. Auwal said the message wasn’t a phone matter, and Kasim helped with the preparations. Champion said he’d be right back and didn’t take long.
A short distance from the house, someone called Sumee. She tried hard to get out and join but was prevented until they finally let her through. On seeing the bride, people praised, “Masha Allah — Champion’s bride looks beautiful.” Xee (a friend) just pulled back and pretended to be unimpressed. Auwal insisted they were being invited even though they hadn’t had a chance to attend the event earlier; they insisted the guest list included Mujaheedah the writer.
Mujaheedah (writing) protested loudly: “Auwal, don’t force me. I can’t handle that kind of scene. That is Merry Queen’s thing — it’s not for me.” But they pressed on. Someone suggested they each put in money — at least one hundred thousand naira — so a car could be sent to pick them up and bring them to a small celebration. Sumee objected to waiting, was jealous, and worried about who else might show up. In the end they all prepared and left.
Arrival, Dressing, and Reactions at the Venue
Auwal sent a car to pick up the bride and her friends and brought them to Auwal’s fancy party. Xee and the rest arrived at the parking area; Sumee refused to wait and insisted on going in. When they reached the hall belonging to Alhaji Hassan (Auwal’s father), Auwal was surprised by how many people attended. Kasim remarked, “Masha Allah,” and they proceeded — the wedding was already in motion and the main couple were in the spotlight.
Faherths Umar Taheer Ma’aji, the groom, and his bride Zainab Shehu were married with a bride price of ₦200,000. Afterwards everyone went to eat in the hotel’s dining hall; friends were joking and having fun. Through the window, Nana was making a fuss, complaining loudly that someone should not have been invited. The mood was a mix of celebration and petty drama.
Faherths changed into an attractive outfit — a dark milk-brown shadda with matching hat, watch, and shoes. He looked sharp; people noticed his expensive perfume and admired him: “Everything about Faherths is handsome.” Their cars drove into the hall and the party began in earnest. People kept praising Champion — Kasim and others shouted his name, and Champion’s charm and good looks captured attention. Xee and many of the girls watched him closely, some jealous, some starstruck.
Auwal stood to introduce himself: “My name is Dr. Auwal Hashee Axare.” He spoke warmly, saying how happy he was that day and asking for everyone’s prayers. Sumee felt shy at his praise but liked the attention. Auwal continued, saying the main goal was Faherths’ future; he encouraged everyone to support him, then left briefly to handle other tasks while Champion drew another round of cheers.
Party Drama, Cake, and Aftermath
At the party, Mujaheedah and her circle — Merry, Nana, Ameena, Pinky, Baby Girl, Muneera, and others — sat watching and whispering. Faherths continued to hold the room’s attention; some people felt annoyed, some simply couldn’t help admiring him. The MC announced who the groom was; Auwal completed the introduction and the crowd cheered. Sumee felt jealousy but also delight when she heard Auwal speak.
When it was time for the cake, Champion cut it with help from Xee. Faherths fed some cake to Xee, who retaliated by smearing cake on his mouth and playfully teasing him, calling him a worldly man. Faherths, being worldly, pulled her back and pretended to kiss her, making the crowd react; she accused him of being shameless, saying he had no shame. The crowd laughed and claimed it was all a show of love.
There was dancing and more revelry; Mery, Nana, and others performed. Some guests worried about Salma — after Faherths humiliated her earlier, she had left the house upset and later had problems at school. Salma chose to focus on her studies and plans to become a doctor instead of getting involved in the drama of Faherths’ life.
The narrator warns the young women present not to act the same way — this party was unusual and messy, and they should not copy what they saw. The chapter closes with the MC continuing the introductions, the party atmosphere buzzing, and Champion being celebrated again with words like: “Champion is not frivolous; Champion is respectful, kind, patient, and worthy of your love.”
