"I'm at my mum's."he says opening the giant tetso german door.
"Whatever just get it done and I will be there in a jiffy,
Isn't the Nikah supposed to hold by 11a.m?"he ask looking down at his wrist watch as he listen yo his best friend endless ranting he hung up and gracefully walk inside the parlor surprised by the quiet atmosphere he looks around.
"Yes mummy,
I'm on my way."the familiar voice says and he looks toward the stairs.
"What are you doing here?"his junior sister Aisha ask, she looks a lot like Ali only that she's twice beautiful than him and her skin is lighter than his.
"I'm here to eat,
There's probably about 2hours before time,
Where's everyone?"he ask looking down at his ringing phone.
"Everyone is at the family house,
You should hurry,
I think there's breakfast from this morning in the kitchen,
I gotta go."Aisha says and leave the house making Ali to release a heavy breath.
He head for the kitchen the only sound were the ones from his shoes, he push the kitchen door open and it was empty, he certainly was expecting to see fauziya he still can't remember her name but her face is now something he find really difficult to get rid off.
He inspect the dish on the kitchen island and shake his head in distaste, he reach out and grab the mug from the cabinet looking around the kitchen for something suitable for his appetite he settle for the coffee he sees on the island, the backyard door open and he glance not really surprise to see it's fauziya since no one is home he was sure she was the one,
He turns back to what he's doing as fauziya drop the plate inside the sink.
She stare at Ali thoughtfully, there are so many things she wants to say to him but each time they crossed path her mouth seems heavy he have a very serious facials that doesn't match his beautiful face.
"I need hot water?"he says it's almost like an order or a question but none of that matters to fauziya because her job was to serve whoever is around the house but then Ali isn't whoever, this is a man she was married to for a year she only saw him once and it stills stuck in her head that today is his wedding, doesn't she deserve some explanation ?
"Okay."fauziya says and gilpydown absolutely nothing she seems to be always nervous when he's around her she can't help it, she grab the mug and looks up at Ali his gaze focus on his phone screen.
"Don't add anything to it and I need a healthy whatsoever for breakfast in 20 minutes."was all he said and leave fauziya pause for a while staring at the door, how rude she thought, she never for once have any stranger especially male treat her so arrogantly like Ali does she barely knows him but he doesn't give her the impression to like anything about him.
