"Are you crazy?" I asked like he's lost his mind "Yes in love" he replied smiling "There's no way I'm going with you" "I thought you loved me" he frowned "Of course I do and you know it" I reassured "Why all of a sudden you want me to follow you when you know that's not happening"
"But my dad wants to see you" he pouted and I froze "What?" He asked looking at me confused
"Yo..your d...dad wan...wants to see me?" I stuttered and he nodded "Youmeanme? SalimaAliyu?Why?" I asked in one breath shocked
"Yes you. I meant you when I said you, now you're making me sound like a fool. Why are you making a big deal out of it anyways?"
"B..bu...but why?" I stuttered "Because he's been pressuring me to bring a wife home and he just called to remind me and so I already told him I've met someone and he said I should bring her home" he replied with a smile
"Goodness! Kabeer are you for real? You know I'm not ready" I smiled gripping my abaya "I don't really care but I know I want to marry you whether you like it or not" he said and I broke down, I tried talking but I was choking on my words "Lis...listen Kabeer *choke* please I don't want to *choke* do this" I managed to utter
"Umm guys let's give them some privacy now shall we?" Beelarh said awkwardly, totally forgotten they were still here, just perfect now they've seen me cry and I know I look pretty ugly. They left almost like a flash but they all quickly stole glances at us
"Baby could you please stop crying? You don't want to marry me? Why?" He asked "Because I'm not ready" I replied between sobs and he sighed "When would you be ready then?" He asked spinning his head "Give me four or five years" I replied and he glared at me
"Five what? That long? What would you be doing?" He asked "Masters, Doctor degree maybe professo.." I asked "I can't wait that long" he blurted
"Why?" I asked him "Well...uhm I'd tell you about it when we get married, you could further your education in my house" he replied and I bursted out crying and he groaned "You seriously need to stop with the water works, you know how much I hate to see you cry" he said and I wiped my tears, knowing so well all my make up is smudged and you know how you look like a panda when all the mascara smudged
"You look better now" he reassured me as I rolled my eyes "So tell me why you're crying anyways?" and I looked away "And don't you dare try ignoring me" he threatened and I sighed giving in "I don't know, you know there's just too much responsibilities and I've heard lot of stories" I paused unsure if I should continue
"And.....?" "And men gets tired of their wives after a while and begins to cheat, some of them marries another wife making her feel worthless" I blurted "Oh wow! Who told you that?" He asked "Friends, internet" I replied
"Well I don't know about them but I know I'd never cheat on the one I love and what's wrong with marrying more than one wife? Isn't it Sunnah?" He asked "Oh suddenly you want to turn it to religion, why don't you start with your trouser above your ankle? Thank God you already keep beards but you'd have to grow it really long. Why are you even looking at me? Aren't your eyes supposed to be glued to the floor? Small talk now they'd be turning it to religion" I replied angrily and he laughed
"Why are you angry?" He asked "I'm not angry" I replied angrily "Girls and jealousy, what's bad in having a co wife?" He asked "How would you feel if you share me with another man?" "Impossible, is he mad?" He replied angrily "Exactly the point" "I'd never marry another, it's just you, okay?" I smiled genuinely today by hearing that "Promise?" "Cross my heart" he replied as he starred at me "What?" I asked "Nothing... I just figured out a name for you" he replied "Which is?" I asked "Angry bird" as I scoffed "You've got to be kidding me"
☁☁
"What kept you so long?" Zuliey asked, I ignored her as I stripped from the door, taking my shoes and hijab off and made myself in. I was soaked from the rain, I thought I would make it home before the rain starts, here I am dripping and all cold, tea wouldn't be bad right now*achuuu*
"Dad has been waiting on you" she said as I froze "How long?" I asked "About one hour or so" "Oh my God! I hope I'm safe" I said nervously "What did you do this time Salima?" "Nothing...at least I can't remember doing anything... Oh my God! Could it be my results? Has he checked it?" I gasped "Of course he has 3.54 isn't bad" she smirked "I thought I was going to have 4." I frowned and Zubie rolled her eyes "Dad's still waiting tho"
Walking to his room door I exhaled as I salamed and then I got a response instantly "Good evening dad! Sir you called for me?" I greeted not taking my eyes off the floor "Oh yes I did. By the way, where have you been?" "Uhm... I was at my friend's place" I replied "Hmm I see, have a seat" he offered and I sat across him
"You know you're almost done schooling, you're just one semester away from graduating" oh God! Is my results that bad, I thought "And you're not getting any younger" but I'm just 20 I thought "So you'd have to suspend your masters and acquire it in your husband's house. If you have a man in your mind you could bring him home" Oh my God! Is this really happening marriage talk already? Am I that grown, OhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGod!! I'm really shocked right now, like laser on my skin
"It's okay if you don't have anyone, my friend has a son that wants to marry soon" "No no...uhm I mean yes. I sort of do" I wonder how I'm sweating with a cold *achuu*. I'm not in my state of mind, Allah help me "Bring him home then, just let me know anytime you want to" he said "Okay sir...I'd do just that"
"You can take your leave" he said as I didn't move an inch after our discussions, I stood and left awkwardly. This is just too much for me to handle in a day, I had a hot shower, brushed my hair and observed my prayers, seeking for Allah's guidance to help me make the right decisions
My phone began to ring, heart desire displayed on the screen and I smiled, I didn't hesitate to pick
"Assalamu alayki" he greeted "Wa'alayka salam" "How's my baby doing?" "She's doing fine and how's her bigger baby doing?" I asked "He's good, just here missing you" I groaned and he laughed, there was an awkward silence and I decided to break it
"Babeee?" I called "Yesss?" He replied more like a question and there was silence "Is anything the matter?" He asked "Uhm...nothing" "Spit it out" "Spit what out?" "What's bordering you" "There's nothing bordering me" I lied "Girl I know you more than you can ever imagine" "Someone's feeling like my Google" I teased "Which I am. Just say what's on your mind"
"I was wondering if you still want to marry soon?" "I have no choice, I'd have to wait till after your schooling" "Uhm...actually there's a change of plan, my dad wants to see you" I said anxiously"Are you kidding?" He asked "I wish I was" "YESSSSSS!" He exclaimed "Can I come see him now?" He asked "Boy no, it's late and I haven't talked to my dad yet" "Please do asap" "I will" we had a chitchat afterwards before I got sleepy and crashed. This is happening too fast
