Khaleefah
_____________

After zareefahs mom died zareefah has distanced her self from everyone, even her dad can't get her out of her room, I have tried so much this week, I think we are getting closer, because a few weeks she would push me away, but now we've become best friends.

The only thing left to do is marry her since we are engaged, I know it might be the worst moment, but sooner or later it must come.

______________

As I arrived at zareefahs house, I rang the bell, all the jitters that i thought would not show up, showed up. The feeling is crazy, I mean I know she said yes to the proposal and all, but I still feel like i have to ask her again...just to make sure.

"yahya is in his room"she said as she let me in then, closed the door. I headed to yahyas room, I knocked, "come in"he shouted.

I entered and saw him playing nitendo land,"salam" I said as sat down next to him on the couch, "hey" he said. He looked at me knowing at me knowing what I want, cause I told him prior to my coming.

"you can try"he said gesturing for me to go to his sister,"thanks bro, but are you okay"I asked,

"now! go"he said, not answering my question, because we all know the answer might not be a good one.

I went to the next floor down the hall, I knocked,"who is there"she asked,

"it's khaleefah"I said in almost a whisper feeling my throat dry.

"yahya,can you please leave, I want to be alone",she said,

"no,it's khaleefah",I said,

" am sorry i need to be alone.....ok what do you want",she asked bluntly,

"first can you open the door"I said,

"you have two minutes"she said,as she opened the door.

"ugh, okay now that I've opened the door, what do you want",she asked.

okay. Maybe I over exaggerated about the opening up to me stuff.

"zareefah you can't just lock your self in a roo- I started but of course she cut me off,

"watch me"she said as she tried to close the door, I quickly stop the door with my hand.

"your life needs to continue, remember what your mom said ....be strong"I said trying my best to not say the wrong words

"Okay, you know it's not easy right"she said,"yeah I know but locking your self in a room won't bring her back"I said,"I was strong now you should be and you have many people that care about you, we are all here for you-I said.

"okay now you made feel bad".she said fiddling with her fingers.

"no, all am saying is I want to fulfill  your moms request"I said feeling as uneasy

"And that is to...?"she asked,

"and that is to marry you, take care of you, and before you say anything, your father is okay with it, all we need to do now is to set the date because everything was already done by your aunties and my aunts" I said.

"so what do you think?" I asked giving her the wild hawthorns.

She blushed and collected it. "Of course....but just because its my mom's request" she said guarding her ego. Even though she said yes to my proposal since....I let her have it.

"And don't ever doubt us...okay, I said yes the first time, and have not changed my mind" she said, taking the roses and nutella's. I know, but the way to MY girls heart is food.
