Betrothed To Him.

Chapter 16.

Nameer's POV.

The house was very quiet when I stepped my leg into the parlour.
The next thing I saw was my dad seated on the floor crying like a child,I didn't even care to look at those standing beside him.

I felt guilty , already knowing it has to do with me,I immediately went closer and bent in front of him.

"Baaba please forgive me,I don't want you to continue crying because of me"

I felt an unexpected slap on my right cheek.
I held the place and looked at baaba in shock,I can't remember the last time baaba slapped me.
If he should , then he must be extremely angry.

"I don't know how you'll do it,but you have to make sure your grandmother doesn't leave Tomorrow and you should not try divorcing Fareedah if not wallahi, wallahi nameer I'll disown you"

"After all I've done for you,you couldn't just fulfil my little dream nameer,I have given you all you needed since you were a child especially when you lost your mum,I tried to be the best dad ever,and by so doing I disrespected my mum,and I couldn't make my late brother happy"

"Baaba.... "I tried saying.

"Enough ,keep your words to yourself,find a solution to all the problems you've caused before sunset"baaba said leaving me there , everyone looking at me.

"I told you from the very first day nameer, sometimes you should choose your parents happiness over yours"Muhammad said.

" Inalilahi wa Ina ilayhir rajiuun,what have I done"

It was me , Muhammad,nudrat,aneesah and fareeda that were remaining in the sitting room.

"We have to look for a way out ,I have to accomplish dad and inna's wish"

" Look nameer the only way out is for you to take fareeda back to your house,love and take care of her"Muhammad said to me.

When he was saying that i and fareedah's eyes jammed ,I felt some kind of connection between us.

"I also think so ,you should take her along with you this night so once they wake up in the morning I know Inna would not leave without fareeda,and me and nudrat will make sure Inna doesn't create a scene of going over to your place"Aneesah replied

" Okay"I simply said.

" Go get your things"I said looking at her.
She was quiet through out ,how can someone be this quiet?

"Ok"

When they returned,my sister nudrat held my hands as we were about leaving.

"Ya nameer,since our childhood I have never asked you for something and you will not do it, please ya nameer please take good care of fareeda,I bet you you'll love her when you get to understand her"

" You both should give a try , especially you ya nameer,even for the sake of our late Uncle please"

I quickly pulled her for a hug, because she was already teary.

"It's okay ,I will " I simply said and turned to fareeda she was crying too,I collected her small travelling bag,and held her by her shoulder, Muhammad escorted us outside.

I made sure I sat her down, before coming back to the driver's seat.
All through the ride she was quiet all I could here was the sound of her crying.

"Have you eaten" I tried to get us into a conversation.
She didn't reply.
I found a place and parked.
I gently raised her head and made her look at me, even though she couldn't.

"Fareeda everything will be fine kinji, please stop crying okay" I said pulling her to my body.

" Okay"she said and drafted her body away from me.

I continued driving,until we reached home.
We came down and I led the way inside.

From the main entrance I met Khadija standing there with her arms crossed over each other.

"Nameer this girl is not entering this house,is either you take her back or I'll leave your house right now"

I didn't give any answers to her,I continued walking,I noticed fareeda stopped walking,i turned and I saw her standing looking at Khadija scared.
I went back,held her hands and went straight to the door, Khadija spread her hands
"Your entering nowhere,if you want to enter this house ,you have to let go of her hands"

" Khadija,step aside or else you'll not like what am going to do to you, please for our baby safety I don't want to push you ,just shift"I said without looking at her,I myself I didn't know where those words were coming from.

"Is it,you'll regret this" she said moving to her room.

I took fareedah to the room beside the dining and dropt her bag.

"There is the toilet,shower and change, I'll get you something to eat okay"I said before leaving.

And she answered with an innocent okay.

I quickly rushed to Khadija's room,I met her drawer scattered and everywhere scattered,she was not in there,not in the toilet ,not in the kitchen,not in the living room,I called her so many times but she was not answering.
So I walked out towards the gateman's room.
"Khadija ta bar gate dinnan(did Khadija leave this gate)"

"Ehh yanzun Nan tafita(yes ,she just stepped out)"

I almost landed him with a slap
" How would you open the gate for her this time of the night ,why didn't you even call me"

I told him to open the gate ,I followed the street but I didn't see her.
Maybe she went to her parents place,am sure they'll call me tomorrow,if she's there.
And am sure she's there self.

I rushed back home,I went to the kitchen luckily Khadija made dinner,I served fareeda and I asked her to Join me at the dining,we ate there everyone minding his business.
All I could think of right now is Khadija ,I hope she's fine.

Hey guys how have you been,this one is for you all ,i hope you loved it.
