Shade Of Pink ✔️

❄️katsina❄️

And everything felt like a dream, if I was told the day before that all this was going to happen then I won't have believed it, I couldn't help the feeling of nostalgia that has washed over me, and it was as though it came to stay, it wasn't shaking off and I wasn't liking it.

I couldn't imagine myself in Zahra's shoe at the moment yet her father wasn't having any of it.

"I have two daughters hafsa, and if the other decides to put me to shame then my other daughter will bring me out of the shame, Zahra will be her replacement"

He sounded stern over the phone and nothing was going to stop him from the tone he used, how was he just going to do this to his daughter does he even know who his actually getting his daughter married to.

The knock that came on the door brought me back to life, Zahra was too stiff to hear or even talk all she did was stare into space as if she had lost her mind and I think she did, because who won't have lost his mind in such situations when all your parent take you for was some tool to toss you around with, it's just so painful or should I say pitiful.

"We have to get her ready"

Ummi said coming into the room, and I felt like slapping her hard across, I had so much respect for her before all this but now I doubt I do. just how could she be like this when she's suppose to be there for her daughter was this how marriage was a slavery to others, even with the so called civilization I thought feeling my heart boiling.

As if knowing what we where saying saying zahra walked to her mother and engulfed her in a hug, the sight brought tears to my eyes but crying won't solve anything when the dead has already been done.

"Ummi what will I tell ansar, how I'll I even look him in the eyes"

Zahra spoke for the first time since after she talked to her father, her voice was mere above a whisper seeing how she was struggling to make her voice audible.

She wasn't even thinking about how she's going to cope with a person she doesn't love, yet she's thinking about someone else, things love does to a person is very untalkable.

Hajiya ummi patted her daughter back consolingly, her voice shouldn't be raise high over her husband. Wasn't marriage slavery I thought to myself was my mother also going through such with my father, I couldn't help but think feeling pity for women mostly those that stayed in there marriage whatever they are going through.

"Zahra na, you should worry about yourself. Will you be fine"

Ummi asked seeing as Zahra didn't say a word made me wonder if she was ever going to be fine like isn't forced married haram in Islam, even though I have littlest knowledge about the religion I couldn't help but feel my heart boiling out for Zahra, she was too bubble for all this, she was a happy child but I doubt she will ever going to be fine after this, but whatever it was I felt the need to have a word with her husband he should protect her.

"Whatever happens to a person either good or bad his his destiny, Zahra it shall be well I know you won't be welcome in your fathers house when you home get suffocating Zahra but pray, I believe Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond it could bear, obey your husband because now his your everything. You don't love him but please set your heart free, Allah is with you and my prayers are always with you"

The words she uttered touched me, I never had this kind of relationship with my mother. We are never close and if anything then we are more than this, my mother was never going to allow such thing happened to any of her daughter and even if she does then I was going to flee, even if I was in Zahra shoe then I'll flee I don't care if the knot has already been tie.

Zahra took her bath, and got dressed with my help in a white tradition robe embroiled with golden tread,
"Are you sure you will do this"

I asked to be sure because if she made up her mind to flee then I'll help her, but Zahra looked at me then to her red stained hands which was beautify with henna and a soft smile.

"Rahil, I hate this but this is my destiny, I'll just ask you to promise me one thing"

"Whatever it is Zahra if it's going to make you happy then I'll do whatever it take"

"Am glad"

Zahra gave me a smile that warmed my heart at least she was going to fight whatever it is she would go through indeed Zahra was a fighter.

"And i am going with you to katsina"

I broke the news to her, which she nodded to with a sly smile which wasn't even visible.

And our plane just landed Zahra was still sleeping she looks so pale and sick, my heart reach out for her she was trying to be strong for her mother.

It was a private plane which was owned by her father, some of her mothers sister where with us to convey the bride which was part of traditions, Zahra father side of the family have some sort of relationship with the king which made the marriage a family one, which is mostly referred to as auren zumunta.

Settling in our suite which was beautiful and the total opposite of what I expected because the outlook of the palace has all those all traditional structure but the decors was something else.

So Zahra is conveyed.

This should all come to your notice, 😂😂 am super excited about this giggles;
