After we had the delicious food mama prepared, baba requested that he want to have a talk to me. I silently walked to his office, he has a office at home.
When I got there he was already sitted at his chair so I also took my seat.
" OK, I asked you to come see me because of an important matter" he started
" what is it Dad"
" you see, my childhood friend Alhaji Dabo has this young daughter and I have promised him that I'd love it if one of my sons marry one of his daughters to which he agreed to it.
What!
Why would he do such thing, why would I be the one to marry her. I mean I know I'm the elderest son but I'm not yet ready for marriage.
" please son I know we are not in the century where an arranged marriage is formed. Try and understand this, you would soon be the new CEO of SHUWA CAMPANY LTD and I would love you to have a wife by your side. You know this saying that ' behind every man success their is always a woman by his side to support him.
" you're not growing young Amir and you refused to bring a woman home to introduce her as your wife. Which is why I want you to marry his youngest daughter Aisha. " he explained
But I don't need a woman's support I can do it on my own. I wanted saying but instead I said " I would think about it"
" OK my son, May Allah bless you. Please I need your feedback just four days from now" said baba.
What! I don't even have enough time to think about it. Just four days. This is ridiculous and so outrageous.
But what can I do, I don't want to go against my fathers word.
" OK baba" I said and walked out of the office.
I really need to punch something, how could baba make this decision for me for God sake. Arhhhh.
I kept pacing around the sitting room. I'm not ready for marriage.
what should I do, I kept asking myself.
"Son, what's the problem. Why are you pacing around" mom said as she walked into the sitting room.
" what happened, what did you and your dad talked about" she asked with her left hand on my shoulder.
"mom, dad propose something to me"
" tell me what it's then" she said.
"he wants me to marry the daughter of his childhood friend, alhaji Dabo" I said with a defeated face.
My mom smiled at me. why is she smiling.
" come son" she drag me to sit on the chair close to her.
" you need to understand that your father want what's best for you. He would never make a bad decision concerning you" she explained.
" Ameer, you're not getting older. You are 29yrs old already and I want to see my grandkids from you" she said with a concerned face. But I'm not yet ready, I wanted saying.
" so try and think about it, I know the Dabo's family, they are good people and I have feeling thatbyour wife to be would be a well mannered wife. "
I sigh, I was speechless. Both my parents want me to get married.
" OK mom, I'd think about it" I said.
She touch my face with both hands and gave a motherly smile " I trust you son" she said .
