SA'ADAH
Chapter seven
Sa'adah
Today is Saturday which is my wedding and here I am crying since in the morning while zuly and Fatima are consoling me telling me to calm down, but who are they kidding?
SALEEM
Today is my wedding with that beautiful rude girl, I don't like her a bit but that doesn't mean I should not say the truth,
I've been upset since the past few days.
"Get ready on time, don't be late to the masjid"my father said to me.
We are currently sitting in his parlour having discussion on the marriage.
"Okay Abba in sha Allah "I said unhappily.

Third person
*saleem mudassir is now officially a husband to Sa'adatu Ahmad, may Allah bless thier union"the imam said
"Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah "is what everyone is uttering while saleem kept mute, everybody that attended the wedding fatiha went to congratulate him but he's just smiling forcefully.
Now the bond is tied and he don't even how to start living with a stranger "ya salam"he said under his breath.

"Its time you stop crying and get ready, please sa'adah don't let this make you think that your dad don't love you, he does and he wants all the best for you, he's just doing this for your happiness you don't know, I know there are many challenges that you will face but match them and move, obey your husband and live peacefully with him, kinji? "My mum adviced but I'm still not okay with this and I will never be.
Now I'm a married woman, it has happened, I'm married to the person I don't know talk more of love. Ya Allah see me through
I just nod my head "pls get her ready before the groom's arrive "she said looking at Fatima and Zuly as they answered with okay.
They got me ready into a maroon fitted gown and a touch of white on it and veiled me with a white veil that has some stones on it too.
I didn't even agree to make up because you do that when you're happy and I'm not so I'll just ruin it with tears.
Many people came, family, friends and my mother's friends, they adviced me on how to live with my husband in peace which I'm not even listening, I'm just there but my mind is somewhere else.
Later at night after 8 women from the groom's family started coming with gifts for the bride, they also adviced her on marital life and welcomed her into her new family, "his family are nice though "she thought and everything they took her to her husband's house with her two friends.
They keep telling her to stop crying and continue praying because that's the only solution.
Its almost 11pm and everyone is gone, after having a crying party for the three friends they finally left leaving her all alone in her new home.
She cried to the extent that she couldn't cry anymore, she's sobbing when her heart skipped when she heard his voice "assalamu alaikum"
he's here now, he's now her husband "she thought all in her head"
She couldn't even answer him as he made his way to where she's sitting with nylons in his two hands.
