His Unwanted Bride. {Wattpad Version}

Chapter Eight.

Zahir & Sameera's Nikkah Preparation Part One.

Hayat's Pov.

I was angry at the way Jameela spoke to me. I am not her. I know my values are important to me. She messed with the wrong person when it comes to my mother and father who are very important to me.

Am not going to stress about it because I want to enjoy my best friend's wedding without any hitches or any problems.

I knew that Sameera had already gotten a whole matching outfit for me. How do I know that, well she has this urge to make everything perfect?

She would give me gifts saying it was for my birthday and it had either passed or was coming soon.

Alhamdullilah.

I have asked my papa's permission and he knows how much Sameera means to me.

"Hurry up and prepare the breakfast you insolent child. If your father wasn't here you would have gotten what you deserve", Maryam tells me. I knew the reason she told me this was because of what happened with Jameela.

All I could think about was what Papa talked to me about.

The marriage proposal.

Who were they?

I made breakfast and as usual, I made my way to my room but I was stopped by Papa.

He was standing outside the door to his office waiting for me. This time I couldn't avoid him.

"Hayat could you come in?", he called me inside his office. I took a deep breath and walked inside along with him.

I took a seat beside him waiting for him to speak. He then took my hands with his.

"What is it, papa?", I ask him nervously waiting for his answer.

"I wanted to ask you about the proposal that came for you, what have you thought about it? What is your answer, my Hayat?", he asked me.

I haven't thought about it as I was busy helping Aunt Hasna with the wedding preparation for Sameera.

"Papa whatever you decide for me. But I would want to pray about it first if you don't mind", I tell him.

Papa knows how much my future means to me, especially after promising Mama that he would ask me first before making any type of decision.

"Okay my dear. Take your time. No need to rush", he got up from his seat and then kissed my forehead, and then walked out of his office leaving me to my thoughts.

I went to my room to get ready to go to work.

Alhamdullilah it is half as the end of half-term is on.

Many people will say yes to getting out of the house but for me, my father is more important than any marriage proposal.

I decided that the answer that Papa had was the best one.

Allah knows best, right?

I decided to do the one thing that I can do at this point and that is pray to Allah to give answers.

Making an important decision that will affect your future is something that should be handled with care.

I got dressed and as I was about to prepare my bag, my phone rang.

I looked at the caller and it was none other than Sameera.

She is probably panicking.

I answered it but before saying anything I could hear her sniffles. I immediately knew that she needed me.
