Someday Soon. By Hassanab

Chapter Five

I could still hear my heart racing after what i just subject my body too, i couldn't believe I just ran out of my father presence without a word to him, but what does he expect me to say it wasn't as if he expected me to smile like a two year's old being offered a candy.
Ya Allah I just couldn't believe this could happen to me again not after everything I went through the last time, relationships that were broken, ties that were severed just because i was so afraid to enter a loveless marriage.
What an irony the same love that came back to mock me in my face.

I fell on the bed and wept for all that i have lost, seeing the smirk on Amir's face i knew i deserved everything he threw my way and i thought i could handle it but it seems as if the wall i built crumbled at the sight of him.
What have i gotten myself into, i cried till the tears ran dry and my last thought was what life had in store for me.

I woke up the next day with a migraine and i quickly searched for aspirin and pop two tablet into my mouth with a glass of water after that I went into the bathroom and perform (wudu) ablution and spread my mat and i began praying fajr after the salat I performed azkar and prayed to Allah to make things easier for me and my parents, and all the Muslim ummah, then i freshened up and put on a nice and simple peplum blouse and skirt with a matching veil and went downstairs for breakfast as i was approaching the dining room i heard voices coming from my mum's room and i couldn't believe what I was hearing never in my lifetime have i heard my parent arguing, the most they did was to tease each other, deep inside i knew it had something to do with me so I quickened my pace and went to the kitchen to fetch my food as I took out the utensils i needed for my breakfast felt droplets of water dripping on the plate then i realized it was tears from my eyes and i quickly wiped it off before anyone enters the kitchen .

I dished my food and went to my room to have my breakfast, after finishing my breakfast i was packing my plates when i heard knocks on my door i opened the door to find my dad which was so unusual because whenever he needed us he always informed the maid to send for us. Ina kwana baba i knelt down greeting him.
He ignored my greeting and said to me
young lady i don't need to tell you twice before you know how serious i am about this alliance,i don't know why you keep hesitating about getting married sooner or later you have to get married it might as well be now and i would feel relieved knowing that my daughter has settled down or do you have any objection, he came into my room and sat on the sofa that was facing my bed and took a look at my room you might think am being strict with you, what you don't know is that every parents dream is to their children well settled.
If you could remember you made a promise to me three years after the stunt you pulled when you where supposed to get married to Abdullah, when you have to involve hajiya in that situation and she told me not to force you to marry you off when you are not ready.

What is your say in it, he asked i will adhere to whatever your decision is please forgive me for what i have put you through sometimes i might seems a little hard to handle but i promise to never put you through that again, I replied still looking down because I was afraid that he might see the conflicting emotions that appeared on my face since I received the news of my impending nuptials.

*****AMEER'S P.O.V******

I was jet lagged so when i reached home i immediately went to my chambers and decided to rest before going to greet my mum and siblings.
You don't expect to nothing less when you have chatterbox as sisters ,i was already asleep when i heard noise, that was when i realized that my sisters where actually fighting over the gifts that i brought back from London.

Stop right now!! is this how you were supposed to welcome your big brother that you haven't seen in three years, i know i surely deserve better, leave my room this minute .
Ya Amir, i came to gave you a befitting welcome when i saw Aisha with the gifts, and I decided to choose first being the older one Zara said giving me her puppy eye look,
she started it first aisha said ,the least you could do was to give me time to rest without disturbance.
