Maryam's POV 

Me Maryam Ismail is getting married in two days, wow even I can't believe it. The most disturbing and painful truth os that non of my moms gamily members are her to witness it. And for my fathers side , they all support my step mother. Because as for them , they didn't accept his marriage with my mom.

Today is the sa lalle day. (Henna day.) it is a day where all family members and friends gather for the last day with the bride before she leaves the house. It is also known as the henna day, where henna is applied to the bride and her friends.

Right now, the henna is being applied on me.........

"What are you thinking about." One of my cousin asked interrupting my thoughts.

"Nothin" I replied.

"Lie lie" she said. What does this girl want with me be wai?

"Look, Maryam I know what you are thinking" she said again this time making me annoyed. If she knows what am thinking then why is she asking.

She took my hand that is yet to be designed "Maryam am really sorry however I have wronged you. You yourself know that whatever I do , it's idea am forced or did it unintentionally." She apologized. See person ooh , is this some kind of a joke or what? Or am I dreaming? I really can't believe this. Although she doesn't really harass me. But she asking for my forgiveness is something entirely different, or is she just trying me

"I don't no if this is true or not, but whatever you are thinking of doing, am okay with it.

I removed my hand from hers that she took earlier and said "do you think I will ever fall for your trap again? My eyes are wide open now, the maltreatment is enough. You want to see the end of me right? You want me out of your lives right? See me suffering till eternity right? Then you've gotten every thing you ever wanted by getting me married at this age, getting me married to someone I have never heard or know about him." Tears where already forcing their way out of my eyes. I can't hide my emotions anymore. She kept quite all the while I wS talking. Not only here, but the whole room was. 

I wiped my tears and said"if you guys think that this things doesn't affect me, then you are everywhere wrong. Wait, do u you even care? All you care is to.........."

"Enough Maryam enough " Anty Amina interrupted me. I didn't even know when she came in. "Baba Maryam, on a day like this" she wiped my tears. "You are supposed to be happy, not pouring out your emotions. She may be sorry or she may not be, but don't let that bother you. I am with you and I wouldn't let anyone disrupt your happiness." She assured me. I nobbed in agreement .

" Asma'u take care of her." She said to Asma'u and left.

"Do you need to do this?" This time, it's ilhaam. I didn't reply.

"Do what?"Asma'u asked on my behalf.

"Maryam am talking to you." She said ignoring Asma'u.

"Can you just leave her alone" Asma'u snapped angrily.

"Well, the good thing is that am not talking to you. So I guess you better keep your mouth shut." She snapped back. I held Asma'u hand motioning her to keep quite and ignore her.

*****next day *****

 Yeterday ended good I might say. After ilhaam finished blabbering her nonsense, she gave up and left because no one was ready to here her shit.

Today is the kamu day. (Don't  really know how to translate it. Can someone help). The bad thing is that am going to meet that mr no smile guy or rather handsome but arrogant. Urgh, I hate it when I think of the fact that I'm going to be stuck with him all my life.
