CHAPTER NINE

There is no rules attached to any foam of writing, as long as it expresses some feelings you are good to go. Just write your shit and post it and never let the fear of striking out keeps you from playing the game, remember no one is perfect that's why pencils has it's erasers.

CHAPTER NINE

Taheera

I called farida and she turned to look at me but the look I gave her seems like she’s annoyed and scared two at a time. I don’t back down, and neither of us break eye contact.

“I know you don’t lament what happened nor what you made me go through…and if that's what you want, then so be it, but I want you to know that neither does Azaan deserves you nor your commitment” I said and she hissed with a mischievous look, I ignored her and plugged my phone to charge.

The next day I woke up late due to the weirdest headache I had, yes I cried myself to sleep apparently that’s the reason for the headache. I walked to the kitchen and brought out farm fresh yogurt from the fridge along with a glass cup, I poured out the yogurt and drank it up at once as though a hungry lion, I wipe out my mouth and ramble over to the sink to rinse off the cup, after I was done I heeded off to ammi’s room

Ammi” I called as I turned the doorknob

I found her jotting down some list with some mince of money besides her along with two ATM cards, I clapped my hands together then sat beside her at the edge of the bed. Wait she didn’t even noticed me coming in, talk less of answering me. wow ammi and money has always been each other’s favorite.

Ammi” I half yelled

She slant her head towards me and threw me the what is it glare

I came in and you didn’t even noticed me” I pouted

She dropped the pen and memo that she was holding and looked at me

So now since you disappointed us and azaan’s family, why don’t you introduce the person better than him” said ammi

I squinted once and breathe deeply, I muttered sorry loudly for her to hear me. I open my eyes but tears betrayed me and rolled down over to my chin, I hurriedly wiped it away and raised my head up but only to met eye to eye with her, I grinned and nodded my head holding both of her hands

“I am sorry ammi…and insha Allah you and Khalifa will never be disappointed in me ever again I promise”

The relationship between mother and child is inevitable and that’s why ammi took both of my hands in hers too and told me the most comfortable words ever

“it’s ok taheera and Besides everyone make mistakes the only thing that parents need from their children is to make them proud and you are one of these kids, so please make sure you make us proud, okay?”. I nodded agreeingly sobbing while she brought her hands to my back patting me softly and slowly

I don’t want anyone to know what’s going on between farida and I, that’s why I decided to take the blame, and I know my sister wasn't that selfish and certainly she will come around one day, without doubt.

ONE MONTH LATER

Farida go and take your bath before they arrive!” kubra called out

Let her be, when they arrive we will just close the door and hide the key till they left” I chuckled at her

She glared playfully at us and left for the bathroom

Today azaan’s family will be bringing the LEFE gifts and the necessary items for the wedding, we on the other side are busy arranging the welcoming reception . I walked out leaving kubra in the room and went to the kitchen to help the maids assigned to the festivities
