I, Mona (maryam) is living in Zaria,with my family. I'm 19 years old,my brother Khalid is 26 which happens to be our first born,then my sister hassana (she doesn't have a twin sister she was named after our grandmother) she's 22 years old, then I'm the last born.well...I wasn't the last born then... Our last born mujaheed died a few days after his naming ceremony that was exactly 9 days after his birth,so now I'm the last born...

Unfortunately, my dad has died 2 years ago, that was when I was writing my final exams (WAEC)...the worst part of it is that up till now we haven't seen his dead boday, we were only told that he died in an accident and we saw the car...

Now we only stayed with my auntie (my mother's younger sister) aunty hajara she's 27 years old but she isn't married yet, then me, Khalid, hassana, and my mother (mami).

We are a little happy family,not rich and we aren't poor...just ok alhamdulillah because mami and Khalid are trying and working very hard just to satisfy all our needs...

Khalid is working in a company named HABABALIST... He's an architect, I'm really proud of him,he's my best friend I really like him.

Mona ki tashi mana...I whined and buried myself under the blanket.

Haba sauda, you know how exhausted we were yesterday,can't you just allow me to rest for ones? I told Sauda cleaning my sleepy eyes with my hands.

Sauda is my best friend since jss1, she's very nice, she is fair and very beautiful, she always gets the guys the guys we are crushing on back in school because she's prettier than me...

Yeah I know right.. It's urgent Mona manaaa....she whined and made a puppy face ..

Sauda is so annoying sometimes wallahi.

Ok now tell me,what do you want, how can I help you ,what is it ? I asked as I unwrapped my self with the blabket and sat down properly on the bed ..

Ok...uhmm...I'm going to die soon.she said and look down.

Wha..what ... What are you saying? Do you have a clue of what you're saying Sauda??i asked her joining my two brows together my heart beating fast like 340000000 per second.

Papi (her father) is marrying me off to my cousin, is not that I don't like him or something, I'm just not ready to get married now, I'm too small for haven sake,I'm just 19..well I'm not 19 yet,I'm turning 19 in the next 2 months so you see I'm 18 now.she finished with her eyes red...

Arghhhhhhhhh........ I screamed and clinch my fist, right now I'm feeling like distorting her face.

Sauda is that why you're saying you gonna die soon? You have no idea how my heart was beating, do you want to kill me? I finished..//shooting her a dead glare.

I'm so sorry mona, I'm just not ready for it ne....that's why i said I'm going to die..she said and her eyes began to be watery.

Alright, fine, fine, now what do want to happen now ? I asked her

I don't want this marriage to take place I'm scared..she said cleaning the tears that has already dropped.

When did they tell you this? I mean the marriage thing..I asked wiping away her tears.

Just now, when you were sleeping papi called me and broke this bad news for me...
Sauda! I called softly
Hmm...she answered

I took her hands in mine and held it...

How I wish I'm the one .... I said squeezing her hand trying hard not to let the tears I was holding roll down.
