Janan
She push the door to her room and sigh, the vibrating of her phone nonstop makes her fish it out from the front pocket of her jeans. Her best friend's name pop up and she clumsily pick it up placing it on speaker.
"Babe." Her soft voice said.
"Hey! Wanted to tell you that they found out about Bilal's location, now his father has taken him to abroad to clear his head and start over." Munira said.
"Was he sick?"
"No he's just depressed."
"I feel bad for him, am the cause of it after all." Janan said sitting down on her bed. She's just coming back from Barrister Ahmad's office. She doesn't want to waste time before checking the document and now she feels like the worst person on this planet.
"Do not blame yourself Janan and you don't have to worry about him anymore. He will heal on his own."
"Hakane. Uhmm am just coming back from work wlh, lemme go and take a shower." Janan said removing her kimono revealing her dark skinny jeans and a tank top.
"You come back early today. Well now I know being the executive director have its peeks especially when the CEO is around." Munira giggled teasingly.
"You're not serious." Janan said feeling the pace of her heart beat increase at the mention of the CEO.
What is wrong with her?!!
"Tohm bye. See you tomorrow."
"Bye."
Janan hanged up the phone and exhale deeply before moving her gaze to her bag. She decided to wait until she showered before opening it.
She put on her bath robe and went inside the bathroom. After washing up and performing ablution she got out of the toilet and change into a comfy cloths. She prayed Asr and eat some of her chocolate. Her hands arch to know whose that girl is. After settling down on her work table in her balcony, she was going to open the file when she heard some commotion downstairs.
The sound of her mother's voice makes her quickly put on a hijab and went downstairs. The more she get closer to the sitting room the more she heard them and she realized that is the whole family. She saw Naima squatting on the carpet beside there father, her head down which she couldn't read her face. Her mother was opposite them her face red from crying.
"You have no right to question my decision! Naima accepted the marriage without a second thought! Why will you go against it." Alhaji Muhammad Ghali said raising his voice.
Wait...marriage?
Janan sit closed to her mother and hold her hands.
"Mama what is going on?" She asked slowly.
Her mother's red eyes looked at her. She doesn't know what makes her so hurt like that, Mama always does her best to hide her pains but seeing that she couldn't hold it today must be a tough situation.
"Your father is going to marry Naima off to Mubarak."
"What!?" Janan look at her father then back to her elder sister.
"Do you have something to say?" Her father glared at her.
"Dad please.."
"-Just shut up! Munafuka kawai!!"
"Muhammad stop insulting my daughter!" Her mother shouted back at him.
"You will now team up koh! Zan nuna muka na isa. Next week will be the nikka. I will see who will stop me." He said leaving the parlor to them.
Janan doesn't know how to express her hatred for her father at that moment. She doubt his her biological father. Is this how he will marry her off too.
She looked at Naima who until now she didn't raise her head to look at them.
"Naima?"
"Yes?" She looked at Janan for the first time. What surprised Janan was her face looks happy, no sadness or any distress.
"Are you happy about this or is't my eyes that is paining me?" Janan asked humorlessly.
Sometimes she use to think if Naima is possessed with evil spirit. She doesn't seems normal.
"Janan I love him, I want to live with him forever!" She said dragging the 'forever' word.
Holy mother of potatoes!
"Naima what about the promise you made for me? what about it?" Janan asked looking at her like it the first time she's seeing her.
"Uhm don't tell me about any promise. I don't remember doing it." She said looking at the other direction. Janan could only squeeze her eyes and look at her sister again, maybe she's dreaming, this is not real.
"Janan leave her, am done fighting for her. Tunda abinda kkeso knan shikenan Allah ya baku zaman lfy." Mama said walking out of the parlor her heart filled with pains. Everyone knows her husband family wants nothing more than to see them ruined. She only wants there evilness to stopped at her husband but now even her children will be affected. How would she stay and looks at her daughters lives scrambled after all the sacrifice she made for them.
