My Heroine

Chapter 7- Drama

Are we all enjoying ourselves so far?

Don't be a shy reader... Tell me your thoughts! I'd love to know what you're thinking....

****
I hated my alarm that morning. I hadn't slept well, and I'd love to claim it was because Ummi was roaming in my mind all night.

Today is friday.
Meaning, I'd officially going to see Ummi. I'm actually kind of excited to go.

It's 3:45 pm, meaning I have about an hour to get myself ready. I'm slightly ashamed of myself to admit that my heart fluttered a little when I'm to see my heart's darling (Ummi).

I freshen up and changed into my favorite Shadda and cap. I combed my hair and put on my wrist watch.

I brought out my phone and typed a message to her: I'll be there in 30 minutes.

                 **********

I hear my phone ring and read a text from My Chocolate: I'll be there in 30 minutes.
"He's coming" This thought was enough to flutter my heart. I felt my hands shivering with his thought. A shy and nervous smile appear on my lips. My heart start beating fast.

"What was happening to me that I was not aware?" The only thing I knew was that I love being in this stupid feelings which makes me restless for him and which give a lot of butterflies in my stomach.

"He's coming". This thought make me got me up from my bed and went directly to my wardrobe. I take out a lemon colour dresses. As I got ready, I looked at myself in the mirror.

At 5:30,  I see Ya Ibrahim pull into the driveway. My heart was running a marathon. His nearness was making me nervous and crazy. His fragrance was getting on my nerve.

What's happening to me? 
I nervously asked myself. I was feeling shy and nervous all of a sudden.

"Oh Yaya, welcome" She grinned reducing the volume of the television.

Ya Ibrahim's sympathetic smile was genuine, but I could see he was bursting to tell me something. It made my heart run a marathon.

I've had So many mental debates with myself about if I should talk to him first or not.
Focusing on him again, I look into his eyes and take in how rich and chocolaty his eyes color is.

I'm slightly ashamed of myself to admit that my heart fluttered a little when he said my name. Why does he have to be so damn perfect.

There was all silence in the room but it also has its meaning. The silence which was filled with heart beats. The silence which was carrying a lot of feelings and emotions pouring on our heart.

"I'm here for you" He said and I was listening to him carefully.

His voice was sending peace in my heart. His fragrance was making me lost in him. 

     *****

"Hey Ummi" I called her and I feel so good taking her name.
I could see lot of colours of shyness on her cheeks which was making her more beautiful.

Smile was  not leaving me. And all I knew was I love being in these feelings. Whatever these feelings are; I'm in love with it. 

She looked up and her deep eyes like ocean met mine and for a second I forget to blink.

Come to your senses Ibrahim!!

I cleared my throat and sighed. Too many Maybe' s and What If's. I couldn't change any of it now.

After a moment, I demanded to see her mom. She stood up still reeling from the surreal experience.

My worst fears are going to come true, because I was afraid to lose her and all I could feel was my heart pounding in my ears.

And then I felt something. It was a cooler feeling and a hotter one at once. It felt like part of a film where you know something terrible is about to happen, and you can't stop it.

********
Mom, knocked politely on the open door as she entered. "Ina wuni" (Good evening) I greeted her in my best way manner. She greeted back as she grinned.

I felt sick and shaky. I could tell myself to be strong and waited for mom to sit. And at the top of the cons list was what worried me the most: finding that mom would perhaps reject me which was absolutely the opposite.

She really knows who I am, she knows my resume and a journal of my childhood history. She admitted that yes, I'd be a good candidate for her daughter.
