Chapter 6

HISHAMS POV

FEW DAYS AGO

Im in my room working on a project that is to be submitted by tomorrow because of the deadline and it is also a very important project that will help the company a lot, that is if we get it as many companys also want the deal.

Ya Hisham, baba is calling you he said that you should stop whatever you are doing and come now Amani said as she came into my room. Okay im coming I answered ,she then left the room.

I took my phone and went out to go to babas room which is down the hallway. Assalamu alaikum I said as I went into the room. Waalikumussalam baba and mama answered. Baba you called for me? I said. Yes Hisham, sit down baba said.

Hisham, I am getting you married a month from now and everything has already been set and the preparations for the wedding has already started baba started. But baba I am seriously not ready for marriage and I dont even know the girl I said angrily.

You dont have a choice in this and I have already told you that preparations have already started. Hisham you are not getting younger and I and your mom want to see you settle. And as for the fact that you dont know her, you will be going to their house next weekend and you will start getting to know each other. Please Hisham do not think of hurting her or making her pay for our decisions and even for her this is an arranged marriage she will also be told about this a day before you will be going to their house. That girl has been through a lot and is still going through a lot. She was raped Hisham and that too last week so just imagine her being informed that she will be getting married a week after the unfortunate incident. Hisham the rest of the family has already accepted her like that and she did not ask to get raped so go easy on her and help her heal because she will be your responsibility baba finished.

Okay baba I will try my best INSHAALLAH and I wont hurt her, I will take good care of her I told baba sincerely cause I really meant what I said. MASHAALLAH I am really proud of you Hisham and I trust you too mama said tearily and baba just smiled at me looking very happy to hear my response.

But can I know her name at least? I asked them. Her name is MUNIRA HASSAN ABDULLAH, she is the daughter of my friend ALHAJI. HASSAN ABDULLAH. Baba said. Okay baba I said then left the room.

I went back to my room and immediately called the guys, my friends. After telling them the location where we will meet, I hurriedly got dressed and took my car keys, phone, wallet and cap, then made my way out to the garage.

As I parked my car at the lot and went out of the car, I spotted my friend sitting down on one of the reserved tables and made my way to them. Hey guys I greeted as I sat down on the chair.

They answered and then Kamal called out to the waiter. The waiter came and we all orders what we wanted to eat. Before our food is here, care to tell us why you told us all to come in a hurry? Jibril asked.

Okay, what im about to tell you guys will really shock you all but please go easy on me I said to them. Okay, but you know it all depends on the information you are about to give us Ismail said.

Im getting married in a month I dropped the bomb. What, How they said. Well it is an arranged marriage and I also was just told about it before I called you guys I explained. Wow you have really shocked us, but why Salman said.

It is a somewhat personal matter and I really cant tell you guys but im really okay with it I said to them. Okay we understand, when you are ready to tell us we will be here said Kamal.

After that, we engaged in a lighter conversation and left after about 2 hours. I then made my way back home to rest.

PRESENT DAY

Today was the day I was to visit Munira at their house, It is now just after ASR prayer. I am in a navy blue kaftan and a matching cap, I then took my phone, keys and wallet then left the room.

I wen to babas room when I saw mama there and I then bid them bye and told them I was going. When I came out, I saw Amani, Farhan and Farhana looking at me with teasing smiles on there faces,

When are we going to see our beautiful sister Amani teased. Ke, even I am just seeing her today and your talking about seeing her, please let me die before you bury me I said while smiling.

Haba ya Hisham Farhana said. See do not disturb me nah, let me leave I said trying to go out but Farhan blocked the way. Okay then, promise to tell us about her after you come back he suggested. Okay I answered, but I will be telling them nothing cause why would I.

Finally they let me leave and I went out of the house. Soon, I arrived at the address baba gave me and then I parked and made my way out. I pressed on the doorbell and then a woman who looked like a maid opened the door and greeted me, directing me to a beautiful well-furnished palour. The house smelled of turanen wuta, I knew that because Ammi loved them.

A beautiful girl then came into the palour with the maid carrying a tray of refreshments. Ina wuni the girl said. You must be ya Hisham, well I am Amina, ya Muniras youngest sister and the lastborn of the house she said. I could tell she was a talkative just like Amani and Farhana, Amina looked about the same age as Farhana. I then answered her greeting.

Let me inform her Amina said and left. A few moments later, an extremely beautiful girl came into the palour, with the sweetest and softest voice I have ever heard. She was no doubt Munira and I knew at that moment I would do anything to make her happy.

We talked for about 2 hours and I left after collecting her number and promising to call everyday, Munira was such a sweet person and she did not deserve to go through that, she is very innocent.

I then knew that I would do anything for her and I would protect her and do what ever it takes to make her happy again.
