FARMAN

YAYA!!

*******

Honestly, the last thing I want to do today is go to a so-called family reunion which I know will definitely end up in a wrong way.

I finished getting ready, by that time they were already gone, I had the house all to my self, I decided to look around, its been long.

I placed my hand on the handle of the door to his room but something was stopping me so I just backed out and left the house.

I met Yusra in the living room sitting all by herself and I kinda felt glad cause whenever there's something like this in his family, we're jammed together but today... he's nowhere close to my eye sight.

We sat down catching up a little when some relatives of farouk came passing but then they stopped.

"Aisha?"

Iman: Yes, ina wuni?

I greeted them squatting like required by our religion and culture and then sat back down.

"Where Is Farouk? I heard he got married again"

She said to the woman next to her. I ignored and played with my fingers cause I really don't have anything to say.

"Tabb inaji ina gani mijina zai karo auro ko shekara daya ba muyi ba da aure?"

The woman said.

"Maybe problem din daga ita ne, she can't even keep her husband..."

She said looking at me but Yusra grabbed my hand outside.

Iman: I'll go and greet maama.

I said going back inside, instead I headed for his room, thank God he wasn't there I cried my heart out, cleaned my face and went back down stairs, I didn't meet maama so we just sat down with yusra in the Garden.

A while later, Maama called Yusra so we went to see her together.

Iman: Why is maama ignoring me?

I asked Yusra as we left the living room.

Yusra: It's not only you, even ya Farouk but yours I think it's a different case.

Iman: What's that supposed to mean?

Yusra: She has been like that since she found out about Asnad.

Iman: Oh... ohk.

She excused herself to go do maama's bidding so I decided to walk around.

I was about to open Farouk's room when I saw the door open. My heart beat increased and then dropped suddenly realizing my heart shattered.

He stood there with his arms around her waist while she laughed running her hand up and down his nape. They both Looked happy, he was happy, he dropped his forehead on hers with a huge smile on his face. I couldn't even wait to see what his next move was cause I wouldn't be ale to take it so I just turned around and walked into the garden, I tried to hold on to my tears but I couldn't I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes but I couldn't take it anymore.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I found yusra there.

Yusra: I know it must be hard...

That means she knows what I saw.

Iman:... I'm just feeling under the weather, thats all I think I'll go home.

I said getting up.

Yusra: I'll escort you.

Iman: No you don't-

Yusra: No way am I letting you go home alone.

Iman: Okay.
