The next morning, i woke up with my mum calling for me. I went to meet her and to my greatest surprise, my dad was also waiting for me.
"What's this a family meeting?" I thought to myself.
After greeting my dad, i sat beside my mum Wondering what was going on. My dad cleared his throat and started talking.
" You do realise that your already 28 years going close to 30 years right Najma? "
"Ha!! This topic again? Doesn't he get tired or what?" I whispered to myself angrily.
"You need to get married. You need to find yourself a husband"
"But dad it's man that looks for woman and not the other way round" i said to ny dad.
"But looks like he will not come because from the looks of things, you don't wish to get married. Ever since i know you, i have never seen you with a man. Yours is always book and book. See, if he does not come, i will look for your husband myself" He said angrily.
I couldn't wait for my dad to look for a man for me, he will surely look for one as stingy as him. If not for my mother, I won't be where i am now.
When he finished talking, i went to my room to think of how i can get a job. I won't kill myself just because my father wants me to get married, i need think on how to find a job for the mean time.
