Birds chirp in the back group when a breeze blows across my face. The curtains ticked my face which wakes me up.

"Manna; Manna!!!" I have heard that voice before who could possibly be calling me so early in the morning.

My eyes open and l realise it's time for the sunrise and it 5am in the morning. I have to see the beautiful sun rise it's the only way to start my day right.

I get up fast splash water on my face and come downstairs in my pants and top when l see him; whose him you may ask? Its Azaan; Azaan Ahmed. His standing tall and dapper when l smile at him. He does that shy smile which send a fluster in my stomach.

"You were late this morning" Azaan announces

"If we continues this way we will probably miss the sunrise" I say

Azaan comes towards me when l hold my breathe; I tend to breathe more loudly around him. Azaan reaches his hand out to the back of my neck when he pulls the paint brush out my hair

"Better; when your hair is out it tends to enhance your beauty. It brings out your brown skin and you suddenly become the only thing I wish to look at" Azaan says and smiles at me

He grabs my hand and lifts me up onto the horse as we gallop away into the forest to go and see the beautiful sunrise in the morning.

"I have been thinking that maybe we should talk about this" I say

"What do you mean?"

"I wish to know what this is; what we are; what do we call ourselves?" I say looking towards the mountain as the first few rays of the sun start to peak through.

"I am you friend before anything else. You should be able to come to me first with anything before I become anything further than that" Azaan says.

"Azaan l leave for India for next week"  I say "my father is having his award ceremony and l will be attending"

"I will be here waiting for you" Azaan says and smiles

Azaan and I watch the sunrise together when he holds my waist. I feel my head spin as l try to conceal my smile.

"I want to make a painting of you Manna" Azaan whispers by my ear as l watch the sun rise. My breathe gets heavy when l turn around and look at him.

"I think maybe we should keep that is a for when l come back after visiting my father" I say

"I have a question what would you say if your father said get married to the man of my choice; Manna"

"I don't know what I would say; he is my father and I will never disobey him because he is the best" I reply. Dada really is the best his always got my back and l have his; how could l possibly going against the man who has given me all my happiness in life. Not once had my father reject any of my wishes so if her ever ask for something l shall fulfill it wholeheartedly.

"What if you love someone else and he ask a you to go against that love?" Azaan asks

"My father is everything to me. Infact my whole family is everything to me. May the Lord never put me in a position where l have to choose between my love and my Dada" I say when l look at Azaan "What if your father said you cannot marry the girl you love; what would you say?"

"I also don't know what l would say" Azaan says to me

"I don't think anyone is ever prepared for such a situation Azaan; where you are put between your love and your family; I don't know what l will say or even do"

l look into his eyes when he pulls my head towards him when he kisses my forehead and smiles. We ride back together with the bright sun is behind me. He helps me down the horse when l go back inside the farmhouse to shower.
