Uncovered (The Life Of Sameera). By Amina Haliru

chapter seven

Sameera's POV

Two weeks have passed, but nothing from uncle, he isn't saying anything about my job.

Things have been the way it's, nothing has changed.

Maleeka is getting engaged next week, she was engaged before but things did not work out for her, the Man she was to get married to, called off the wedding, because of some reason only known to them.

She was heart broken, because she loves the Man, but things did not work out for them, he has rejected the marriage a week before the wedding take place, and I'm sure there is something behind it.

He had said he has a reason  and uncle knows, so because of it he will not be able to marry his daughter,she had to let go of him.

Sometimes you just have to let go of things you know you can't get, maybe they are not good for you or they are more better than them waiting for you.

Now I have realized something which is to let go of pains, letting go of pains is by choice, you can try to get over it, but what I know is that, it's not easy, but nothing good comes easy.

Now all their attention is on the engagement party, they are all preparing for the welcoming of the guest.

So I have to be patient and wait until the right time, maybe he didn't get the chance to look for a job for me because of the things going on.

I could remember my elder brothers engagement party, he was engaged during holiday before my final exams, I attended the party, that was the last time I saw them after the engagement.

And the other time I was to meet them, that happened.........

I could remember vividly on his engagement day,it was a joyful day to remember.

He was engaged to Hamida Bello, the permanent sectary of agriculture.

I don't know how she is coping with out him, she must have been through so much, and maybe she has moved on, only God knows best.

She was a good girl, the first day I mate her we became friends in no time.

She is beautiful Sha, Masha Allah, I will like to know how she is now, maybe I will have to call her,she didn't even call to know how I am,ohh silly me, I have forgotten, I have lost my phone, my phone got stolen from my room one  day, and since then I have not been using phone of my own.

I think it's because I am not interested in holding phone that is why.

And know that I want to start working I will have to look for a phone, and some other needful things.

Let me start jotting out all the necessary things I need, I think I will have to go for shopping alone this time around, because Maleeka is busy with the preparations.

I brought out a pen and paper for the list when I heard a nock .

"Yes, come in" I gave permission, "Sameera are you busy please? Maleeka asked while entering inside, "what happened? I asked instead.

"Please  I want you to escort me somewhere, will you?, she asked pleadingly,"where? I asked instead, that is how I behave sometimes.

She make a puppy face trying to convince me, "please if I tell you the place will you go? She asked and continue talking without waiting for an answer, "I am going to collect some important things at Zabeera's place.

"Please. she knows that I don't like going to that house because of Zabeera's brother, since the day he saw me, when I escorted her to their house, he has been disturbing me. he said that he likes me, bla bla bla.

Zabeera is her best friend so I really know that no matter what she will love to visit her friend so they can plan on what to do during the engagement.

I hope everything will work out for her, she doesn't deserve all this, she deserves to be happy.

"I will, I said."will  you escort me? she asked in excitement, I nodded my head.

Thank you let me go and prepare, she said walking out.

...........

Today is the engagement ceremony, everyone is busy doing one thing or the other.

The guest from the groom to be, are on their way here and some of our relatives are here already, the ones that are far and could not come will come for the wedding by the grace of God.

Some of my aunt's from my father's side have started saying things that I don't want to hear.

They are saying after Maleeka's wedding is mine.

I just have to stay in my room to get rid of their nonsense talk.

I heard a loud music from outside, I stand up to go and check from my window, when I take a glance at outside I saw cars coming towards our house, they must be the grooms relatives.

One of the car is designed with red and yellow flowers, they all park at our parking lot, some cars parked outside because the parking lot will not contain them.

Are this people for real, all this things are for an engagement?, designing the grooms car, coming in with loud music, women dancing to their best energy, all this things they are doing looks like they are related to Indian people 😂 I wonder and  laughed in my head.

Someone badge in my room without nocking, I quickly raised up my head to see the person behind this nonsense, how can someone enters someone's room without nocking what if that person is .......... 

I stopped my thoughts by seeing the person, ahh she's,why is she here of all people,ohhhh I get it, I raised my eyebrows wanting to know more of what I am thinking of she just came to the window and stand, she looks as if she will not talk and then she surprise me by saying something that makes sense.

"You know I can't see anything from my room, so I decided to come over here, your window has the perfect view, Maleeka said that while looking at the people coming out from their cars and then she gasp, I quickly follow her gaze to see what makes her do that.

Ohh wow, he is handsome Masha Allah no wonder she is head over heels with him, thank God she has found her love once again, I pray everything goes well.

Maybe he felt our gaze he raised his head and his gaze fall on her,she blushed and leave the window, smiling and giggling like a crazy teenager in love.

He waved at me before disappearing from my sight.

The outside is now quiet not like before, maybe because all of them have entered inside, the ceremony will take place in our Hall we have a big Hall that can contain more than 150 people.

I know I most be there if not they will start gossiping around, I am not going there for them, I am going for my Darling Maleeka.
