Together At last...

||Twenty Five||

Amani's pov

Well we are still at their house and it's almost time for isha. I saw some of Fanans friends I don't even know how they are here but ohk.

I've been in mamas room since we came and I have no idea where Areef is. I was starting to feel suffocated in this dress and I'm starting to regret wearing this.

Manal barged into the room and you could see how mad that made mama. Haba at-least knock mama said annoyed.

Sorry she said. Amani she called and I looked at her. Ya Areefs looking for you she said. Oh Ohk I said and looked at mama.

Go my dear she said with a smile. We walked out of the room and I held manals hand. Where is he? I whispered because the house was kind of noisy.

His in his room she said and I nodded. Please escort me I don't wanna go through those people alone I said and she chuckled.

We walked to his side of the house and she left me at the door. I opened the door and there was Areef with a lady probably my age with his hands around her shoulders and they were both laughing uncontrollably.

I was just numb at the moment I couldn't walk. I felt something and it wasn't good I didn't like what I was seeing right infront of me but I masked it.

Hey you asked for me? I asked announcing my presence. They both looked at me and he took his hands away from her shoulder while their laughter died down.

Boo who is this? she asked. Boo? I thought and a little bit of my heart broke because of the name and she's literally asking who I am.

That's my Wife Amani he said and she made the ohh face. Oh your Amani she said and stood up from beside him walking towards me. I thought you were marrying Fanan she said and I looked away from her gaze

Hey I'm sumayah Areefs cousin she said with some kind of tone I really don't understand. She gestured her hand for me and we shaked.

She squeezed my hand hard and I yelped. Hurts dosent it she whispered with a deadly look and let go of me.

It was nice meeting you she said with an exciting tone so Areef would hear her. It was nice to meet you too I said with a genuine smile.

She went back to him and I just went to the room. Huh! So these kind of people exist. Don't get me wrong I've heard stories but who knew I would experience one.

I don't like her already. I get she's my husbands cousin but atleast have some boundaries.

I dropped my things on the bed and I got into the bathroom. I performed wudu and I headed out. I removed my head tie and dropped it on the bed.

Since I don't have a hijab here, my vail is pretty big so I wrapped it around. I prayed isha and also nafil. I made dua for my marriage and my family.

I took the hijab off because damn it's hot. The AC isn't on that's why I thought as I switched it on. I folded the prayer mat and dropped it on the bed side drawer

I really can't start tying this on my head I'm too tired I thought looking at my head tie on the bed. I would just wrap my vail.

I sat by the mirror and took my phone. I started scrolling through Instagram when I heard the door open.

Ofcourse I didn't look I was too focused on my phone. Actually I was trying not to look at him. Amani I heard him call and I looked up. Yes I said and looked at him.

She's just my cousin he said and I frowned. I didn't said anything now did I? I asked with a smile and he sighed.

I'm just saying. I know it looked somehow and it's obvious she still likes I was supposed to marry her but.......... Wait hold on I said cutting him off because what he just said ringed in my ear.

You guys dated I asked and he looked like he should not have said that. Well yeah when we found out we were to get married I dated her before I went to base. He said and my reaction was unspeakable.

Well this is interesting news. I didn't only catch my husband with his cousin inappropriately no no I caught my husband with his EX!! 

Well that's good to know I said and took my phone from the dressing mirror. Where you going he asked as he saw me walking towards the door.

Uhmm I'm going to mamas room I said not looking at him. I reached for the door but he pulled my back. He closed the door and stood infront of me.

What are you doing I asked and looked at him. Are you ohk he asked and I chuckled painfully. I'm good I said and looked away.

Amani he called and took my hand in his but I didn't let him. Come on just say it out anything just say it he said coming near me.

Alright I should say it Ohk.........................well I just met my husbands cousin who turns out to be his ex who he was to marry but something happened and ofcourse she would still have feelings for him because his giving her the wrong idea.

I also met Asiya who he was head over hills for but she betrayed him and I met my sister who he was arranged to be married with but ofcourse something went wrong and settled for me right I asked as I felt my eyes getting watery.

Right? I asked again and he sighed Amani he called but I stoped him. Right? I asked again and he nodded.

Good now that we have that clear can I go I said and whipped a tear that escaped from my eye. Shit I hate being too sensitive!!

You right Amani All you said he started saying and I stoped. But you were the only one I ever loved. The only girl I ever fell for so hard that it hurts. You broke down those walls I've been building for years in just a day with your smile.

Yes I was supposed to marry Fanan and sumayah and yes I loved Asiya but I'm glad I found you Amani . Your the only one who makes me happy and my love for you keeps growing everyday my dear.

So please don't walk away from me he said and I felt his hands on mine. Come he said and enfolded me in a hug smoothing my back.

I felt safe in his arms. I felt like I was home. His my home!

Love is a beautiful thing when you find the right person 🥺❤️..........

❤️❤️❤️
