Haajara🌺

"Ammi...please beg Dada for me wallahi I cant do this, how can he do this to me?" I sobbed hard

"He's your father Hajar. He has every rights to choose a groom for you and you know that so why bother yourself? He'll never make the wrong choice for you habibty" Ammi said.

"Wrong choice? Ammi kinji shi fah he said his friend Ammi! His friend...how can I marry my father's age mate?!". "Stop raising your voice now and wipe your tears. Go and freshen up, you two are going to meet today" Ammi said

"What?! A date? With an old man? Innalillahi Wainnailahi Rajiun, yau ni Hajarah, I'm going on a date with my father's friend?!" My tears rushed harder as I wailed

"Hajar!" Ammi gave me a stern look before she smiled

"Dress up quickly and come out now" She walked out leaving me all alone

Ya Rabb, where am I going to place my head in? Many thoughts are running in my mind right now. So much has happened in the past few days that I'm slowly slipping into depression. I only have the energy to cry when I feel my heart aches so bad, the only time I have peace is when I'm sleeping.

I stood up and took a bath and brushed my teeth, after rubbing my cream which I hardly do nowadays, I wore a cream material with different colored flowers on them.

I applied some kohl on my dull eyes and lip gloss in my extremely dry lips. I wrapped a black veil around my head and picked up my phone before I sashayed out.

"Are you ready?" Dada asked immediately I came down. "Y-yes" I nodded. "Toh Allah yayi maki albarka" He prayed and I turned to Ammi after saying Amin

"I'll be leaving now Ammi" She smiled widely which made me wonder if they are really my parents

How can parents do this to their own child? After Dada broke the news to me, instead of Ammi to support me like she always does she took Dada's side and it stung so hard. Just when I needed a shoulder to cry on everyone is suddenly not there. First Yaya Amma whom is now busy with her marriage, Yaya Sultana is pregnant and I can't stress her with my problems, Salma is far too young for me to tell her my worries, Nana isn't even in town cause her aunt is getting married.

I sat down in the back seat after exchanging pleasantries with the driver and we drove off.

"Hajiya, lafiya?" He asked. He must have heard my silent shrills

"Bakomai" I faked a smile and look outside the window

"Toh Allah ya kyauta"

The conversation ended there and then and we didn't talk till we reached a café. "Alhaji said I should bring you here and wait for you" I nodded and closed the door while he parked the car properly

I looked up at the very big banner on top of the place where 'Cold Café' was beautifully and boldly written with cursive.

I hissed silently at the thought of the entire date thing, did I ever say I wanted a date?
