Perfect Storm ✔️

chapter six

The surprise .

🙀😯😮

**********************************

The first thing I heard when I finally came down was

"We have come to ask for salmah's hand in marriage".

I knew the sounds in my dream weren't fake.

but I didn't expect him to be sitting on my couch talking to my parents looking responsible, and Oh damn ,he did look good.

Haleemarh was seated opposite him looking dashing and those boxes ,

My head registered _ wait
Which boxes are those? I was slowly slipping into reality.

That side of the house looks full with items that I couldn't comprehend.
Then I heard my mother's voice

"Salmah u shouldn't be Meeting ur future spouse looking this bad go and freshen up" ,It's one of the reasons you are like this .

I was embarrassed .No ,not for the fact I just woke up from sleep and I look like I just came out of a lions den, but for the fact that she was bringing Jaffars topic now.

My dad shook his head as he watched me , I was delusional I Know but I couldn't comprehend anything right now.

Haleemarh and her brother were both downstairs with their dad and other relatives you know ,to ask for my hands and here I was wishing I had senses to understand what was going on.

To say I was surprised is an understatement.

I went to have my bath and damn for the first time in my life I felt the need to spend more than thirty minutes in the bathroom.

I didn't know what to think .

what was happening downstairs was totally beyond my control .

why is this happening to me .

I Felt my cover breaking as I cried , everything just keeps getting more complicated.

I had my bath dressed but still had thoughts of not going downstairs ,

Damn I was nervous as hell and I still haven't forgotten what happened during our first meeting.

And not that only
Haleemarh my boyfriend 🤦.
Sorry ex boyfriends love is sitting there looking so dashing.

My greatest fear was just them not telling my parents what was. happening if not I would end up a pathetic looser in front of my mom .

U see another of my issues was that I liked to prove people wrong .it was my practical way of feeling better ,like right now I really wanted Jaffar to see what he has Missed in leaving me .

l really wanted to show my mom I was worthy and I wanted to show Khalil that I wasn't a who're.

My mom came into the room

"how many hours do you intend on spending here ,put on your veil let's go downstairs ,

"You need to talk to Khalil, better don't go and do what you are good at doing o, please try and keep this one"

I already had alot on my plate .

I replied in the heat of anger"if I haven't kept him his family wouldn't be downstairs waiting for me"

I picked my veil and headed down stairs.

I couldn't meet his father's gaze , mainly because I was ashamed of what he took me for.

"Good evening sir ". I finally spoke on a low tone ( my voice sounds like a stray cat ).

"Come on you looked bold during our first meeting what has happened to u "

he spoke sharply and
My heart sank.

I was scared .

Did he tell my dad.

His next words answered my unspoken question.

"You and Khalil should get to know each other more before wedding",as I rose to look at him his mischievous smile gave it away.

And I knew, it's either I agreed to this proposal or my hotel encounter will be said .

I faked a smile and headed to the door ,well to breathe
I needed air and I didn't care about the fact that Khalil followed behind me.

"Hello wifey"
I internally cringed ,this was worse than I thought .

U look good in red ,it complements your skin.
I wanted to blush , but I pinched myself

"Trying to change the discussion I see .

"I spoke with pride
"Are we not supposed to be talking about what you are doing in my house ,with all those stuffs".

"There is no better explanation to give it's either u agree to this or our hotel escape and all your pool party pictures will be in the eyes and ears of your loving household.
With this he went inside .

Dan Dang 🔥💥.
This really got me.
I love you all so team salmah or team Khalil.
