Betrothed To Him.

Chapter 21.

Fareedah's POV.

Finally it's weekend,this week was a mess.

After my morning Azkar,I had tears in between because I remembered my parents I miss them so much,I did my online class and went back to bed.

I really need it yeah.
Am so tired..... honestly,I can't make breakfast early, even though I know I will be punished.
I locked my door from inside.

I closed my eyes and then I started imaging different things.
Am I not beautiful, am I so dull ,what do I lack that Yaa nameer doesn't even like me a bit.
I changed everything about me in few weeks just to match his taste but he doesn't even know I exist.
I myself know am really changed,but why doesn't he see the new me,all he see's is that Fareeda that grew up in the village.

With this thought I didn't realize the time I slept off.

.

The noise coming from outside woke me up.
I looked at the mini clock in my room,it was past 9.
I gently came down from my bed yawning.
Omg
Am famished.
I entered the bathroom and brushed my teeth.
I came out and changed from nighty.
I unlocked the door and went straight to the parlor and the noise became clearer to my hearing.

Guests early this morning!!
It's just past 9,
Don't they have husband's to take care of??
I went closer to the parlor,I greeted them all,if I remember them clearly they are Anty Khadija's sister's.

They didn't reply me ,they all were looking at me with bad eyes.
Only one replied,she looked different because she smiled replying to me.

"Why haven't you made breakfast,so you want my baby to starve,you want to kill my baby out of jealousy right",Anty Khadija said stoning me with her harsh looks.

"Am sorry I was so tired ...."I was trying to reply her but she turned more aggressive.

"Get out of here,go and make breakfast for us and lunch also"she ended hissing.

"Useless thing "I heard her say.
I couldn't control my tears,this torture is getting out of hand, should I tell everyone at home??.

I went straight to the kitchen,and started making preparations.

Yaa nameer is not back from Jim,ever since I moved here I noticed he goes for jim Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and he demands for lemon juice when he comes back by ten o'clock.

I first of all made lemon juice  and put it in the fridge.

It's been long I made pancakes for him,I think I'll do that.
I was about to whisk the eggs,I sensed some steps behind.
I quickly turned ,it was Yaa nameer.
I greeted him,he answered for the first time after a long time with a smile.

"Lemon juice?"I asked with a smile.

"Yes"he replied his eyes were fixed on me.

He looked so hot in his black joggers.
I opened the fridge and poured some into the glass cup and gave it to him.

"Thanks"he said and i nodded.

"When your done with breakfast,bring it to my room"he said dropping the cup after gulping everything.
And then he left.

I turned and continued making breakfast.

"Can I be of help"I heard a voice say from behind.

I didn't reply,I did like I don't hear her.

"Am Maryam, Khadija's sister"she said stretching her hands.

"Am sorry ma'am ,can you just please leave me,I don't want anything wrong to happen between me and you people"

"Am here to support you Fareeda,you are very young to pass through all of this torture,she's my sister but she doesn't listen to my advice because the remaining of our sisters are in support of the wrong she does to you"she said holding both my shoulders.

"Whatever, please it's my business,I think is best you stay far away from me,am not even complaining right?"

"May Allah make your destiny easy for you Fareeda"she said leaving me there.

I rushed and made everything,I served everyone,and I served Yaa nameer's and arranged everything in a tray.

Anty Khadija was downstairs eating with her sister's,while I went upstairs to give Yaa nameer his breakfast.

I knocked but there was no answer.
So I pushed the door and went in ,I drop the tray on the drawer and was about to leave.

"Khadija pass me the towel on the bed"I heard him say from the toilet.
Should I tell him she's not the one?
I thought for a while!

"Are you there"he asked

Since it's just towel,he wouldn't even see me!
I thought again.
I looked at the bed and picked up the towel.
I walked close to the door he had already stretched his hands.
I placed the towel and was about to turn and go.
I felt an unexpected pull.

The next thing I felt my body joint against another.
I gently opened my eyes and I saw myself in Yaa nameer's arms and the shower was rushing on us.
When he noticed it was not Anty Khadija he didn't still let go , instead he kept eye contact with me,his rough hands against my tiny waist.

We heard the sound of the door!!
Good night 🌷
Watch out for the next chappie,will Khadija catch them 😂😂.
If she does what will happen 😱😱
