BEYOND WORDS
Chapter twenty one.
"Alhaji I've set the bath water for you"
Hajiya mansura said sitting next to her husband on a couch in his bedroom.
"Okay thank you"
He replied smiling dropping the newspaper he was reading before she came on her laps.
"And again alhaji, I want to talk to you about a very important matter when you get out"
She said.
"What could it be? Has my daughter found a husband? "
He teased.
She smiled before she spoke.
"Yes she has but freshen up first"
"No"
He went back and sat down eager to hear the good news or so he thought.
"Alhaji you should have freshen up first, so we can talk properly "
She demanded but he insisted as he said.
"There's nothing more important than my daughters lives, so tell me"
"Okay well ehm... "
She then kept mute knowing that it would be very difficult to make him comprehend the issue, she knew that It was a huge task to make him allow it happen.
"Why are you mute?is there something? "
He asked.
"Alhaji the thing is, sumayyah has gotten a good and respectful suitor, he wants to marry her but there is something "
"Masha Allah, but what is it, just go straight to the point "
"The boy and his mother came to me about a problem which is a very big one, the boy's father wants him to get married to another girl not sumayyah, and in thier saying, it is that model what is even called.. Yes safy, and everybody that knows her knows that she's not a decent girl and not from a responsible family"
She then paused for a moment looking at him to guess his expression.
"Continue"
She heard him say.
"So his mother and him came to me demanding for a favor but I didn't give them any answered, but I told them that I'll talk to her father first before getting back to them, both the mother and the son don't like the girl his father wants him to marry"
"What is the favor?"
He asked.
"They wants him to marry sumayyah in secret,that's without the consent of his father and without anyone knowing, after they've already got married, his father won't tell him to divorce her but will accept her as his daughter in-law and cancel the other marriage"
She explained.
She saw alhaji exhaled a deep breath before looking at her.
"What rubbish is this? Is this some kind of a book or film? I am a reputable man and I know what I'm doing, since his father doesn't like her then he should give up, why would they want to play with my daughter's life like that, I'm glad you didn't respond to their request, when they come back next time tell the I say no, and if you can't then I will myself "
He yelled angrily.
She knew all that would happen, she knew he would never be convinced easily so she sat well and held his hand.
"Alhaji listen to me"
She said in a soothing way.
"For them to come and meet me at home means they respects sumayyah, if they want they can make her run away with him and get married without even we knowing but they didnt do that instead they came home, these children loves themselves so much so we shouldn't deprive them of thier happiness, yes I know that will be hard for sumayyah but she'll enjoy it one day in sha Allah, please understand "
She said the last part more like a plead.
"But what if his father tells him to divorce her then? How do you think she'll feel? She's very young to be a divorcee"
He then paused before he continued.
"have you even talked to her and she agreed to it?"
He asked.
"No, I haven't I wanted to talk to you first before meeting her "
She answered.
"Okay before I conclude, I would like to see the boy, so we can talk properly, so tell sumayyah to tell him that I want to see him, and again call her for me let me tell her myself, I won't force her, if she wants it then fine I'll bless the union but she she didn't agree then I won't force her into what she cannot do, have I made myself clear? "
"Yes thank you alhaji, thank you for giving them a chance, shower first then I'll call her"
"Okay"
he said as he stood and entered the bathroom still not convinced.
***
He had been working non stop in the office, he was writing an Email when the door opened and from the way the door opened, he knew who it was so he didn't even gave her glance instead he pretended as if he didn't noticed her.
"My soon to be groom is working his ass off to see that I've gotten the luxurious life I deserve, awwwn that so sweet of you darling"
She spoke sitting on one of the chairs reserved for guests.
"Wa'alaikumul salaam"
He said without even looking at her.
"Ooh I've forgotten,you know I'm not used to saying the salaam so I'm sorry but I'll start from now on because of you"
He neither looked nor replied her and continued his work.
Just then the door opened again and a beautiful young lady appeared with a food flask in her hands..
......
