"Oh my idiot friend am so happy for you."my best friend said to me.
"Thanks dear stupid friend I knew you would be happy but I am really sad."I said to her.
Yarima left our house yesterday around ten thirty after we had dinner promising to come pick me up today in the evening.I wasn't happy though cause I wanted to go on my own.
After he left we discussed some issues with mama and I went up to my 'previous' rooms.I called fateemah and she promised to visit tomorrow at my parent's house before I leave.
So here we are throwing insults at each other.
"But seriously you haven't change at all koh Dan fresh dinnan na amare ba kiyi ba fa."she said to me sipping her zobo drink.
"Well thank goodness I haven't change cause believe me if I were to change then it will be for the worst.Honestly fateemah am not happy at all with my married life.
Yarima doesn't treat me well.He doesn't even speak to me properly he only pretends to be happy with me,tell me what to do fateemah am really lost."I said to her sobbing.Finally I had let go of all my feelings now maybe I could feel a little ease.
"Am sorry about the state you are in now but friend to be honest this is also your fault.Rafeeah you have all the good qualities everyman wants in a woman both physically and mentally."she paused and continued.
"You have the ability to draw any man's attention if you want.You have to fight for your right babe."she said.
"How fateemah how,he doesn't even look at me he behaves as if am no one to him."I said.
"You should try to understand him...I mean from his point of view you know he is a divorcee so maybe his previous wife did something that had broken his trust in all women."she said to me.
I find something interesting in what she just said now,maybe she's right,maybe he has been hurt in the past,maybe his trust was broken.But I have no answers to this questions.
No one in the royal family talks about yarima's previous wife.There was even a time when I once questioned aunty Kareema about her but she ignored me and changed the topic.
"You maybe right fateemah I would have to find out about yarima's past before we leave to the state."I said to her assuringly.
"Am glad you will.Ahh we've been talking I haven't even realized it's getting late and I have to do some work for mama I will have to leave now."she said adjusting her veil.
"Okay make sure you greet mama for me."I said escorting her towards the door.
"I will and I will try to come to the airport when you are leaving."she said waving to me before she entered her new corolla S and zoomed off.
.........................
"Hurry up your husband is waiting for you fa."mama yelled from downstairs.
"Am coming mama just give me a couple of minutes."I yelled back.
"Let her finish mama we aren't really in a hurry after all it will take a while before she comes back."Yarima Said to mama.
"Oh finally there she is."mama said directing her look towards the stairs.
I came down wearing a high waste skirt that was sewed with a natural atampa which was designed by me.Hope I told you guys that am a fabulous designer in fact I design all my clothes and I've owned a designer shop along with a boutique-my dad gifted it to me when I finished my secondary school which is not to long five months ago actually.
I wore it with a matching khaskha veil with a simple chain along my neck,I had Gucci wrist watch on my right hand ankle.
"Mama we better take our leave then it's getting late."yarima said adjusting his cap.
"Mama am going to miss you so much."I said to mama hugging her tight.
"Same here dear but remember I will fly to states whenever I miss you okay."she said cheering me up.
"Yes mama you will always be welcomed and I will be sure to fly her back to Naija whenever she misses you okay."yarima said holding his hands in mine and squeezing them a little tight.
It felt really awkward the way he was holding my hand.For once in my married life that I felt so real when yarima did something politely to me.All the time we've spent was full of fake pretence.
"If you children keep chatting like this you won't leave."Baba said.
"Yes baba we were just about to leave."yarima said.
"My child I believe in you and I have put all my trust on you.Yarima I believe you wouldn't hurt my daughter but still I want you to promise me you won't do anything that would hurt her."baba said.
"Baba I promise you that I would never hurt your daughter."yarima said to baba looking directly into my eyes.
"Back to you my daughter I know what values I installed in you and I hope you will make me and your mother proud."baba said to me.
"Yes baba."I said tears threatening to fall from my eyes.Am going to miss them a lot.
"Okay mama,baba we will get going.Thank you."yarima said and we left.
I've left forever now I will miss everyone,my parents,my besty,my hometown and everyone.
