"What Happens Next" By Aisha Kabir Bala. Completed

Chapter Thirty-two

"The reason why I gather you here today is that..." Professor Suleiman said and cleared his throat. "Me and my brother have made up our minds and made a decision about something and it's for the good I promise." He continued. "Aisha and Salim, we have fixed your marriage which is just four weeks far from now." He finally dropped the bomb making a smile to make it's way to Salim's lips, while Anita only bowed her head down playing with her fingers, she was neither happy nor sad. "And Zainab is going to marry Abubakar, may his father's soul rest in peace." He said and Zainab tried her possible best to keep shut but couldn't. "Daddy, Mai martaba please help me, allow me to atleast finish my studies." She said trying her best not to sound rude. "You will finish it in your husband's house and thats final." Mai martaba said. "It's for the best Insha Allah and you will thank us later. May God bless you all." Professor Suleiman said and they all muttered an Ameen. "For Sadiya, she have been imprisoned for 45years for attempting murder. While her boys were sentenced to death, Bilkisu has been imprisoned for 10years. Zainab be patient we are all here for you." Ummah said Zainab could only nod as she was already in tears. "You all can start preparing for the marriage in the next 28 days, that is on 10th of october. I wish you all the best." Mai martaba said dismissively and they all made their way out. "It's not fair!" Zainab muttered immediately they entered Anita's room. "What's not fair?" Rahma asked trying her best not to burst into series of laughter. "Wai am going to marry Hamma Abubakar, am not even done with school fa, and am only 20 years. Truth to be told that old man is..." She couldn't complete her statement when Anita beat her mouth shutting her off. "Abubakar is a nice guy and he will take good care of you Insha Allah." Anita said advicely just like the big sister she was. "I pray so." Zainab replied. "Okay, let's talk about my own issue." Anita said and the duo asked, "what?" "About Yaya Musty." She said. "Just tell him the truth Adda you can't do anything about the matter, its our parents' order." Rahma said, if you did not know that she's only 16 clocking 17, you will think she's up to 20 or 23. "Yes Adda." Zainab replied. "Huhhh! It's going to hurt him I know but Ya zanyi!" She said facepalming herself. "Your phone is ringing." Rahma said passing her the phone. "It's him!" Anita said referring to Yaya Musty and they all nodded. "Princess of Kano and also my Princess." He said immediately she picked the call. She only smiled weakly. If only you know, her subconscious said. "How are you?" She asked instead. "Am fine My Aisha." He replied and she smiled again. "How are my mumu friends?" She asked. "We dey here stupid know what you are saying." Zara said laughing. "Ahto! If not am going to deal with you." Sadiya said and they all laughed. "I miss you babes, when are you visiting me?" Anita said after some series of jokes they cracked. "Your highness, we will." Zarah said, that girl and her sarcastic attitude. "Mtchew, my dear leave this girl, we are coming tomorrow Insha Allah!" Sadiya said. "Yeeeeeeppeeeeeee!" Anita said jumping on the bed as if she won a triumph. "Can't wait my dear! I love you!" Anita said again. "Indicate please, you love us or you love him." Zarah said and Sadiya knocked her head while Anita hissed. "Abeg make we give him the phone. Kucigaba daga inda kuka tsaya." Zarah said and before Anita could reply, she gave Yaya Musty the phone. "Till we come my dear." Yaya Musty said and she replied with an okay. "We have alot to talk about." He said. "Same here." She replied, she was about to hang up the phone but he stopped her. "Aishatul-Humaira!" He called her name gently. "You know I love you right?" He threw her the question that made her to feel as if she betray him. She calmed herself before replying with: "I know Yaya Musty and I love you too." He released a breath he wasn't know he was holding. "Just know that everything that happen is a fate, and it's for the best of both of us. Take care of yourself." He said. "Is everything alright?" Anita asked because his words made her weak. "It's going to be Insha Allah. Bye!" He replied and hang the call leaving her with her mouth agape. That day, they both couldn't sleep. He felt as of he has betrayed her and so also on Anita's side. When he couldn't sleep, he stood up and prayed to Allah to make everything better for him and so also her.
