She laid down on her bed watching one of her kdrama. Apart from her love for Wattpad. Her next love was kdrama. She was a sucker for them.
A knock came on her door and she shouted come in since she was sure it would be one of the maids probably to come and take her laundry or something.
Her jakadiya came and stood a little distance away from her.
"Your highness,Mai Martaba demands your presence". This news made her pause the movie she was watching and she sat up to look at the lady.
"Mee!!" She asked like she wasn't the only one in the room.
"Yes your highness" she replied with her head bowed down and looking neat in her uniform.
"Do you have any idea on why he has asked for me". She asked with her voice filled with anxiety.
"No your highness" .
Nawal wondered why Mai Martaba would be calling her on a Saturday afternoon it's not like they where going anywhere and she can't remember doing anything wrong for her to be summoned.
"Okay am coming". She was just in sweats and a t-shirt so she donned it with a long hijab. She walked down to the meeting room and when she entered they first person she saw was who she didn't expect.
He didn't even tell her he was coming and with people she assumed has to be his father and uncles.
Nawal furthered entered and found a safe spot on the rug and sat and after exchanging pleasantries with everyone Mai Martaba went straight to the point.
"Jawhara dear, I believe you know this young man". He asked while using his head to motion at Anas and she nodded in affirmation.
"We'll, he has come here with his relatives to ask for your hand in marriage. Do you wish to marry him".
She was silent and turned her head to look at Anas, she didn't miss the smile in in his lips and the look of hope he had in his eyes. She turned back to face Mai Martaba and nodded with her head casted down.
The laughter that left the lips of the elders was a happy one each saying their own point of view.
"Show him round the house. Let's fix a date for the wedding." Mai Martaba said with a loving smile on his lips.
Nawal stood up with her head ducked down as she left the room careful not to meet anyone's gaze with Anas trailing behind her.
"So soon to be Mrs Maiyafe, when do you feel you are ready to enter my home with your blessed feets. He asked after they were away from the room.
"I dunno, like all of this too sudden. It's barely three months after my graduation and I know we agreed on after my graduation but isn't it too early". She said unsure and nervous.
"Am sorry but you know the nature of my work and I look a two month leave so I'll go back with you as my wife but if you're not okay with it. Is fine. I can just tell Abba to postpone it till when next you're ready". As much as he tried not to sound disappointed Nawal could pick a hint of it in his voice.
"No, it's fine don't worry about it". Nawal gave his a small smile to make him know it was all okay.
"Now about the first question, answer it".
"I will come anytime Allah wishes". She was looking anywhere but him. She didn't know where the shyness came from but she suddenly felt shy to look at him.
She took him to their garden while having small conversations with Anas trying all he could to get her to look at him but she wouldn't budge.
"Have you been trying to avoid my gaze". He asked after they finally sat down on one of the chairs there.
