AMNA

I never thought it will be happening this soon. Yes. Am willing to get married, I love the idea of being married, especially now that I will be marrying the man I like, it's totally Ok with me. Not after Farouk visited me back in Kano tho.

*Flash back to Farouk's visit*

He stood up ready to leave, I looked at him, with a worried face..
"Are you leaving this soon?"

With a frowned face, he ignored my question and said, "ki jira saqo" (wait for a message) before I was able to leave the room, one of his men came in and handed me an envelope  bowing down out of respect.
I headed home doing my happy dance..

Umma was praying so I went straight to my room. After jumping up and down on my bed, hugging and kissing my pillow, I sat on the floor and crossed my legs to check out the envelope. There were 2 papers inside. The first one was a cheque of 500k. Waw!

"Mr man, it's not your money am after" i mumbled to my self.
I then opened the 2nd neatly folded paper. It has some kind of note on it

"The culture of our family is to meet a girl once, it's better you know that you won't be seeing me again before our wedding.
Am advising you to look for a way to stop this 'marriage' from happening, coz U NOT  MY TYPE! If not, you will have to face what ever comes along with marrying me.. U can contact me Via this number; +2348030000000. Week ends only.   ~YFR"

*End of flash back*

I told no one about the paper, not even Fareeda. I prayed to God and left everything in my stomach. Only God could bring me a way out of this mess.

FAROUK

I locked my self up in my room,
arrgh!!!

Am tired of everything!
Am tired of staying in this country!!
For the first time, I wish am not royal!!!!

I wish am a normal person, who could be left to make decisions on his own.
Decisions such as the girl to marry!

I have to end things. I won't let this marriage happen! Nahee, not at all.

I matched to my mom's room, she wasn't there.. I met one of the maids on my way out.

"She's in the round room" the maid said without me asking.

I turned right and made my way to the huge round room. The room is in form of circle, it's well furnished, all white, with a beautiful chandelier hanging low at the center.

My mom Sat their like the royal woman she is. With a few maids surrounding her. She was giving orders.
I sat on the arm chair next to my mom and waited for her to send the maids away.
She concluded with them and asked Jakadiyya to come back after we are done talking.

"Ummaru ish tabgie?" She asked what I wanted in Arabic.

"Maamah" I paused, trying to vocalise the words in order.

"umhum?" she gave me her full attention.

"I don't like her" I blurted, frowning.. At the sane time trying to make a puppy face. I just wish everything will end here.
