Seconds have turned to minutes ,minutes to hours,hours to days,days to week and weeks to months.
School have resumed and its becoming a little hectic. With the final year been worse .
A lot has happened in the past six months, with nismat finally been in the final year . She was also admitted twice in the hospital.
First it was after her breakup with Aliyu ,she came home and cried herself to sleep without eating dinner she couldn't wake up d following morning , feeling dizzy ,nausea and a very severe headache. Her mother had to help her do her ablution and she prayed before taking her to the hospital -She was admitted and diagnosed with ulcer and the severe headache was due to stress and depression- after spending five days under medical supervision she was discharged ....... It took her weeks to be back to her normal self she was always losts in her thought , and could hardly speak more than necessary .A wedding was fast approaching from her paternal family so her mother taught going there would at least make her go back to her normal self. The wedding was at it peak with lots of auties ,uncles relatives every where ,their family house was full of relatives since it was close to the brides house with the young ladies and gentlemen at the family house and anties and visitors at the bride house.
Nismat didn't really liked the idea of going to the wedding earlier ,she preferred staying at home and going on the exact wedding day then coming back after conveying the bride to her home , to avoid all these backbiting and stuffs but with persuasion by her mother she gave in.
Everyone was getting ready for the dinner party ,with all sought of noises 'where is my headgear', 'my shoe is missing', 'my makeup has not yet been done ' ,'I can't find my jewellery' -everyone moving halter scalter getting ready...... Nismat been her calm self was sitting by the bed side watching the brides makeup, "aren't you going to get ready or don't tell me you're not going" the bride asked her more like a question.. How would she go her envious mind won't allow her seeing all her cousin sisters married some even have kids after all they are younger than her instead of finding a husband and settle down she's there dwelling in her fathers house ruling ,that how you would remain,Grandmother intruded before she could answer the question,some aunties joined her rendering all sought of insults to Nismat , she just picked her pause and left the room -she found a quiet place at the corner of the house and cried her heart out -these are the people she called family yet they judge her with something beyond her power ,she also want to settle down in her home but Allah has not yet brought the right time ,her cousins always looked down upon her. She managed to step out that was when she noticed they have already left for the dinner ,she booked a cab and left to her house.
She ended up been so hurt that she find blinked her eyes in the name of sleeping that day,not to talk of eating something the house was quite all her siblings and even her stepmother has left for their family house ....... Only the gate man was around .Later that night,her mother came back home after calling her phone several times which she left with one of the bridemaids whom was taking selfies since her camera was more than hers.
In the morning she managed to pray subh then went back to sleep with her heavy and reddish eyes looking like they were about to pull out of the socket . Halfway through her sleep she felt her stomach aching and felt like throwing up ,she ran to the bathroom and started throwing up, that was when her mother noticed she was home .
Nismat! Did u slept here I came back home and met your father at home I never knew you're her,what's happening..... And before she could finish her sentence nismat passed out .
She was admitted at again for two weeks ,her blood pressure has raised -Her parents became so worried of her conditions how can she coup with hypertension at this small age something even her father doesn't have -
the doctor told them she was in some kind of troubles or something is bothering her that she cannot tell anyone and has been keeping it to her self it might be dangerous to her health.It was three weeks after getting discharged ,school resumes but her health has improved a lot.
Nismat's POV
I love surprises a lot,it makes me feel special and I got a package of it from my friends -they came immediately after resumption precisely on the resumption day, well that's the day serious students are suppose to resume right ... but those two always add two weeks or more.
They came purposely because of me ,mother told them 'I was sick'. we spent a week in my house - having a lot of fun time. They asked me to tell them about my break up but I refused it I told to let by gone be by gone and it will only bring me bad memories, been their understandable selves they allowed me.
You know 'am your mother you could tell me anything 'mother snapped me back from my reverie ,Mama am fine i said giving her a sheepishly smile 'your always good at hiding your feelings, I found out that you Grandmother and some of your Aunties were the sole reason for your recent illness ,after insulting you why did you have to come back home and lock yourself all night stay hungry and cry yourself to sleep' you could have told me '. Mama if I had told you it would have brought conflict which is very bad ,let them say what they like I don't care anymore Allah is sufficient to me ,I pray hard to him day and night- I know he will bless me with the best spouse when the time comes,I have already make with my anxiety ,worry not. She signed 'your right my daughter you have a very pure heart May Allah continue to bless you your the best'
My mother has always been like this sometimes she would be like ' if I haven't given birth to you first before all these boys I would have suffered' I will always laugh at her comment and Yasir and ammar would get angry of that.
