Muslim girl and... love?

Chapter 9

It had been a week since the holidays started and there was 2 weeks left. Half a year of college already done.

I hadn't really contacted any of my friends I wasn't really in a talking mood ... Lol wonder what'll happen when we start college I just hope they understand.

I haven't even told Samara about what happened I don't know what to tell her, to be happy or sad while telling her.

I got at least 20 messages from Omer each day but I just clicked on them saw what he had texted me then deleted them all, just so he might get a hint that I didn't want to talk to him and that I was rejecting him.

Or was I really...? Maybe he knew that I really did want to talk to him?

Oh wait what?! I don't want to talk to him!!

Especially not now.

--------------------------------------------

*A few days earlier*

"Aisha can you come down? I need to talk to you."

I was in my room being lazy... and my dad was calling me.

Wait what dad is calling?

I ran down and stood by the door to the living room. He was sitting on the left on the couch and watching tele which was on the right from where I was standing.

"Sit here"

I say by him on the couch and he turned off the tv.

He turned off the tv?! He doesn't do that unless its serious talk! I was getting nervous.

"Sweety you're 17 years old you're a wonderful girl, no woman you're an incredible woman. And it's about time we find a suitable boy for you. Don't you think,"

he more said than asked the last part.

I swear my mouth was fully open and had dropped all the way to the floor!!

A boy?! For me?! Already...!!

I didn't know what to say... I just sat there.

"Oh hello what are you two talking about?" "And what has happened with you? It seems like you've seen a ghost close that mouth of yours Aisha."

I closed my mouth and felt my mum sit by me on the pink flower patterned couch.

"I was talking to Aisha about her an her future and how to make it bright and great, that's all"

Great my ass. I was getting married?!?

"Ohhh you talked to her about Imran?"

Imran?!

"Well I was getting there right until you came I just told her that I think it's about time she gets married."

"Ohh well the food is ready you can go eat I'll talk to her now" I looked up at my mum she was smiling like I don't know what.

As soon as my dad went my mum started

"Sweety he's a very good boy. He's from a great family and they are your dads friends."

"Bu-but mum what if I don't want to get married yet...? I mean I'm only 17 and I've just started college.."

"I'm not asking you to get married just meet the boy and we'll fix a date and get you engaged then you can get married after a bit."

"B-but mum..."

"Meet the boy. For me"

"Okay mum I'll meet him"

I went to my room and locked it. I just sat on my bed. Not knowing what to do or what would happen.

*Back to the present*

The day after tomorrow was the day they were coming over.

I picked up my phone.

I hesitated, but dialed in Samara's number.

Hmm what's wrong she's not picking up? She always picks up.

I called her house number and waited and waited until someone took the phone

"Hey Samara I'm sooooo sorry I haven't called you or anything but I really need you to come over quick."

"I'm sorry but who is this?"

I heard a mans voice. What a mans voice?! Her dad wasn't home at this time...

"Umm it's Aisha... Who's there?"

"Ohh Aisha hey long time it's Omer how are you? You've not been at college for a while an you haven't replied my messages? All okay?"

Was that worry in his voice? No it couldn't be.

Why do you care? You're soon to be engaged!

But what about the butterflies in my stomach the instant I heard his voice?

Forget it! It's a no go!!

"Umm Aisha you there?"

"Yeah can you please give it to Samara or tell her to ring me?"

"Yeah sure but is everything okay?"

"Yeah all good is Samara on her way?"

"I'll just go call her"

He sounded ..... HURT?! Forget it don't think about it!

"Heeeeey Aisha long time!! How are you?!"

"Hey I'm good ... I think can you come over...?"

"Is everything okay?"

"I'm..."

"You're what babe?"

"I'm getting engaged."

There was a silence on the phone. A few minutes later

"Whaaaat?! But how? When? You're only 17?!"

"Samara can't you just come here I'll explain."

Wow I'm getting engaged...

But I'm supposed to be happy aren't I?
Then why am I feeling like this? Like something isn't right? Like something is nagging me...?

And I don't even know the boy...

Uh-oh what's this new twist?! What'll happen now??!
