Ameera's POV
As I sat in my bedroom and looked out of the window, my mind drifted to what had been happening at home for a while now. My dad had not been at home and I hoped he will come before my Nikkah. Anytime I asked my mom about it, she always tried to change the topic or just say he had gone on a business trip. I was beginning to get suspicious.
What if something was wrong with him, what if he left us. I shook my head, that wasn't possible and In Sha Allah it won't happen. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard my mom calling me.
"Ameera" she shouted. I signed and replied "yes mom".
"Sa'ad is here honey" she said. "I would be down now mum, give me some minutes" I replied. Sa'ad was my fiancé and I called him earlier to come over so we would discuss on our Nikkah.
I took my hijab from the bed and tied it, then I hopped downstairs. I composed myself before I entered the living room.
"As salamu alaykum" I said as I entered. "Wa alaykum Salam" he replied. I was happy to see him, it's been what. Three days since the last time I saw him and I was eager to see him today.
Ameera pull yourself together what is wrong with you, I thought as I sat down. I gave him the best smile I could muster because I was in a really bad mood.
"How are you Ameera ? " he asked. "I am fine, thank you. How are you too?" I asked. "Alhamdullilah. You asked me to come, hope no problem? " he asked
" Alhamdullilah it's nothing much, I just asked you to come so we could talk about our Nikkah " I said.
"Okay, so what about it?". He asked. " The preparation and all" I replied. I was trying to behave normal. I don't know why I was shy because I was never the shy type. Me Ameera, NO,no at all, I was the crazy loud type, my friends told me all the time.
"They are all going on well on my side Ma sha Allah what -" he was cut off my a loud bang of the door closing. I looked up to see who it was. It was my father he looked afraid.
"Dad what is wrong, why did you barge in like that ? " I asked. "Where is your mom? " he asked as if I didn't just ask him a question
"She is in the kitchen. Dad talk to me what is wrong?" I asked again as my mum rushed in.
"HABIBI (my beloved for male)" my mum shouted as she rushed to where we were.
"We have to leave Maryam and now" he said. Nobody moved, we just stared at him.
"Now, all the three of us" he said again. " Why Awwal" my mom asked him. I knew my dad was already getting frustrated by the look on his face
"Maryam I don't want to repeat my self, the faster we leave here the better. We all are in DANGER" he said as he stressed the last word.
Then everything sunk in
