Letters To The Ones We Love The Most

THE GIRL FROM MY SCHOOL

JOE'S POV :
ONE AND A HALF YEAR LATER:

We are already a year and half into senior secondary school and in a matter of a year time we were soon to say our goodbyes to senior secondary School. It has been one hell of a rollercoaster dealing with school and people you refer to as friends.

So as I was saying, when do you want to see her Dad said unto me as he overtook a car on the road .

I kept mute for a while looking outside the car window before blurting out "a Saturday".

"That's fine with me "he said smiling before pulling the car to a stop right Infront of a fancy looking restaurant. He walked out of the car into the resturant and came back with two huge loaf of hot fresh bread.

Upon leaving the restaurant I turned sideways looking deeper into the restaurants window where I saw a familiar figure .

"Fauziyah" I muttered quite suprised

"What's that?" Dad questioned looking at me

"It's nothing thought I saw someone I knew" I said shaking off the thought that it may and may not have been Fauziyah behind those closed doors and windows

.....................
SATIRDAY EVENING:

We were already at the doorstep of my so to be new mother . With every second passing I felt the nervousness in me getting worse.

"Can you kind of wrap the veil across your head this way?" Dad said demonstrating his hands the way he wanted the veil to be placed on my head

"Dad,you know I....."

"I know ....I know sweetie, you are doing all this for me, for our happiness and I am so ever grateful for having a daughter like you"he said trying to bribe me with his sweet fatherly talk right before i decided to give up to my attitude and comply to his words.

"Fine" I said wrapping the veil in a hijabi style just as he wanted

"Now is it okay?"i asked

He stared at me for few seconds before saying " you look just like your mom".

The door opened immediately I could respond back to his statement with the presence of a jolly little girl welcoming us

"Uncle K" she squealed in excitement before jumping on him

"Hey Yasmeen!" He responded back with same excitement as hers.

She looked at me and said "hi"

The little girl looked so familiar but before I could decipher where I knew her from a voice interrupted my thoughts

"Yasmeen!" A female voice called from the inside

"Mother I am coming" she shouted back .

"Uncle let's go inside"she said walking Infront as she held unto dad's hand dragging him into the house.

The house was quite okay for a single mother with two daughters. I glanced a bit more at the house interior designs as I saw different paintworks, flowers and quite interesting figures plastered on the wall.

"Uncle sit ,I will go call mom"she said before running down the little corridor in the house

"Careful!" Dad cautioned as she ran further into the house corridor. I turned and looked at dad as he placed his hand on mine reassuring me that all will be fine .

In a matter of minutes a slender yet fair and beautiful lady walked alongside with the little girl into the living room.

"Wow!"came out the thought in my mind as I gently placed a hand on my mouth before saying a "Good evening ma'am".
