Chapter Eleven

Maryam's POV

"As salamu Alaikum(May peace be upon you)"

"Wa alaikumu Salam(May peace be upon you too)....Maryam?" She smiled the moment she saw me entering her home.

"Ma"

"Welcome to my humble home dear, please take a sit" she motioned me to.

"Thank you Ma"

"So? Hope it wasn't too stressful to get here?" She asked the moment I had fully settled down.

"Not at all, ma"

We talked a lot and I must say, I instantly grow fond of Mrs Abdulazeez. I felt so happy and secured around her.

"Maryam, I had my reason for inviting you over. Though, after listening to it, you might get offended but please don't take any of it personal...". She began.

" Actually, I've observed you a lot Maryam. Though, we might have met three days ago after a very long time but you're so different from the other girls Maryam. I've come across so many young girls but you're just so different from them. You're good looking, decent, humble,very brilliant and also very religious."

"You see, I had two children,they are twins 'A male and a female. One is named Kareem and the other one is Kareemah. Kareemah can be crazy sometimes but very friendly. On the other hand was Kareem,her twin....Though, he's nice but he lavish money a lot, he drinks a lot but he observe his five daily prayers, I won't lie to you.

"So....., There's this girl he was dating, she was only ruining his life. I and his father has advised him so many times but he wouldn't succumbed."

"Shèy ò get òró ti món só.....tì obí ba tó òmó sí òna tòda, ki inkánmi wá wa ní èyin kòma yí òkan re kó màshe.....ìru ìpó ti òmó mi wá niyén ( I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to tell you dear, you see, it's just that when a parent is trying to guide a child on the right path but there's this something, something else particularly hindering that from happening.... Actually, that's exactly my son's position right now)"

I felt for him but I'm confused. Why would she tell me all of this?

"Subhanallah...I feel so bad for him" I blurted out in concern.

"Exactly my dear.....We also feel the same way for him. But sometimes, there are somethings we human don't understand, God do things according to His will, it happens according to the way He had planned it. The moment I saw you after so many years of departure, then, I realised something important, that you're truly the right girl for him, you're the only one who can change him for good, Maryam" she uttered as she move closer to me and hold my two hands in hers.

"What?!" I exclaimed in total shock.

"Erm....I... I don't.... I don't understand you Ma" I said confused. Actually, not that I'm that confused, I'm just surprised.

"please Maryam, I want you to marry my son. Marry him and change his life for good, please". She desperately begged.

"What are you saying Ma, marry your son? I don't even know him, likewise he don't. I don't even love him. A foundation of marriage should start from love, care, trust and respect and not the other way round. Not anywhere near pity"
