Twist Of Life

invitation

It was her invitation card,i clenched my fists looked up to her and said"thanks for the invitation I will surely be there" she looked taken back by this, even I didn't know how I said that. "okay then I'll be expecting you"she said before going.

I ran into the house,tears kept falling from eyes as I banged the door of my room. Dad and mom had already come inside leaving me to talk to Aisha. Knock knock,i opened the door and ran to hug mom. It will be fine dear she consoled.

I had cried myself to sleep,the invitation card was soaked with my tears.

I was dressed in a white gown which looked like it was stained here and there. As I ascended the stairs,something caught my eyes it was the picture of mukhtar hanged in the wall, he had tears in his eyes.

My alarm rang jolting me from sleep, I was sweating profusely.
It was another of my nightmares. I stood up,performed ablution and prayed, I didn't have any intention ,I didnt know what to ask from God.my heart was blank. then I took my Quran and started to read. It calmed me.

Sister ameerah! Sister ameerah!... Ooh God what's wrong Jamal, why can't you let me be."Dad is calling you".tell him I will be right there I replied.

Ameerah Its been some months since you finished your senior school,so what do you want to do now? Dad asked. "I want to further my education sir" .what course do you want to study?

"science laboratory technology" I had always loved science, it intrigued me. Okay then I will talk to my friend who is working at the University,you should just pray and study.

...........................................................
As days went by I kept counting down to mukhtar's wedding i haven't gotten over him,it still hurt every time,i was no longer myself.

I was still not decided on whether to go to his wedding or not.

I started  hearing a deep voice downstairs,i knew it was my cousin Khalif he called to inform mom that he was paying us a visit. "visits which usually lasted for  weeks", I enjoyed his company though.

"hey how  is my baby sis doing? "he said opening my door.... Welcome bro it's been a long time,i replied,yea I have been busy with  work I even missed your Wed.... Sorry well am here for you now "he said and I also bought you some stuffs.

Later in the evening
Khalid strolled  into my bedroom  
"hello sis"
"hi"
"so watsup with you, you look sad"he said
"well let's just say I am"i replied trailing off then i became silent
"is it about your cancelled wedding"? You know you should really forget about him,he isn't worth it.
Hmm I sighed"i know, but it's just painful wait let me show you something I said I opened my drawer and handed him the invitation card
Oh my God sis, this must hurt but you mean he brought you the invitation card.. That bastard he has no conscience at all
"no it wasn't him that brought it, it's the girl his marrying"
He was silent as if trying to process what I just said
"she was my best friend" I added
He looked at me with sad eyes and put his hands around  my shoulders in a comforting manner,it soothed me.
We were silent no words were exchanged I just sobbed.
I raised my head"but I will have to attend this wedding"
He looked at me like I was speaking Spanish"what! No you shouldn't it will only break you"
"no I have to "
We kept arguing until he gave up
"okay then but I will have to go with you" I smiled "I will always be there for you"he added
"goodnight  sis"
"good night"
