The call of adhan woke Amrita up who was sleeping in the compound, she curled herself up due to the cold weather, she stood up and perform wudu and she faced the qibla to pray, after she was done she went to check on the stranger and found him sitting on the mat holding his head, he was deeply in his thoughts that he hasn't noticed her presence.
"Assalamu alaikum" she greeted which brought him back to reality, she didn't know if he had responded back to her or not but she saw the way he moved his lips showing that he answered.
"Here is some water for you to perform ablution, before Inna wakes up and then you can go back to your place before any one could notice" he only nod his head while she stood up to leave when she heard him mumbled a thank you to which she smiled and said "it's nothing and please don't come out" she left for her morning chores before Inna wakes up.
After he was done praying, he sat down and started thinking about his life , the accident and how he found himself in this unknown village. Suddenly he heard someone yelling and chanting "Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun, it wasn't on purpose"
It was Inna who was hitting Amrita with a cane because she accidentally poured away the grinded sorghum on the floor.
"Hey witch I swear you won't be the death of me but I would be the death of you" she yelled while hitting her as amrita cried for help.
He didn't know why or how but he couldn't endure her cries, he knew that's Inna who was mercilessly beating her up, he remembered she told him not get out of the room. He hissed while pulling the curtain away to see what was going on , Amrita yelled out loudly when Inna pressed a hot burning log on her leg.
He didn't know the time he got out of the room and gave Inna a hot slap, the sound scared Amrita herself and seeing how he's trembling with anger. Inna raised her eyes to see the person who dares to lay a hand on her face and saw him all shivering in anger, his eyes were red like fire .
"oh wow so this is what you have been doing, a man in my house upon all what you've been doing outside you were not satisfied so you decided to bring a man into my house ko, hey where are the people of this village come and see what's happening in my house oooo" Inna yelled and immediately people started gathering in and out of the compound. Though they were confused to what is happening, same goes to Amrita and him. Amrita couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears.
"hey keep quiet you hypocrite I swear you must leave this house today" Inna yelled as she was dragging Amrita away. The neighbors started asking Inna as to what happened and Inna cried out saying that Amrita's boyfriend slapped and beat the hell out of her just because she caught them red handed.
Upon hearing her words, he was burning with rage and anger though he didn't say anything. The people started whispering, some were supporting Inna while some were against her knowing what she was capable of. Malam Bello came in and Inna told him everything, he dragged Amrita away but suddenly HE removed his grip on her arm.
"Hey who are you to intervene in my family issue after what you guys have been doing" Malam Bello said .
"I know you are her father but you have to investigate before passing any judgment on her"
"Who are you to tell me what to do with my daughter hmm so you were the one who was spoiling her" Malam Bello yelled.
" And you I swear you must leave this village or else I will curse you" he said looking at Amrita.
"Innalillahi wainna ilahi rajiun" was all the people were whispering. Amrita's heart beat was increasing per every word of her father.
"Ya Allah I swear Abba you've got all these wrong , I haven't done anything , I just helped him, is not what you're thinking" Amrita cried holding onto her father's feet trying to convince him but Inna beat her to it saying that she must leave the house.
The villagers stood there none were saying anything and that made his blood to boil making him to utter some words that in his right sense he won't dare to utter them.
"Would you gave me her hand in marriage" he didn't know when he said those words. Amrita stared at him with her heart beat increasing.
"If you can deal with her, you can take her, all I want is for her to leave this village" he said staring at Amrita whom was busy crying her heart out. Malam Bello stared at him and gestured him to come along.
They walked to the district head house as he introduced their proposal to him.
"Stranger what is your name" he asked. He took some few seconds before uttering
"AMMAR my name is AMMAR AMINU"
"Who is your guardian"
"I want you to be my guardian" Ammar replied.
Within few minutes, Amrita was official wedded to Ammar upon the dowry of the sum 50k. The town crier announced the marriage across the village, Ammar heart skipped a beat, wondering how on earth he decided to do this.
News were spread across the village that a marriage was conducted, Malam Bello sold his daughter because of money. Ammar found a young boy who escort him to the closet town to find a bank to withdraw some cash.
On Amrita's side, she was crying her heart out, what type of marriage is this? Why is her life so miserable? She raised her hands in Dua and prayed for a solution to all her miseries . Inna on the other hand was happy that finally Amrita was leaving the village and with a total stranger .
Ammar came back and gave Malam Bello a sum of 100k , he gave Inna 50k before he uttered
"Here is Amrita dowry" giving him another sum of 50k. Malam Bello walked into the house yelling
"Amrita Amrita come out quickly" she came out of her room with tears in her eyes while he gave her the money.
"Here is your dowry" before she could collect the money Inna quickly beat her to it saying what will she do with a huge amount like that.
She gave her 2k and walked her out of the house.
Amrita was still crying thinking about how cruel her father was, and what's a marriage without an elderly advice from both parents . She didn't even know her husband's name moreover without any investigation her father just gave her away.
He was waiting for her, he saw the tears in her eyes and he looked away hissing , he gestured her to move along. Ammar was busy in his thoughts he didn't know what he was going to name this marriage all he know that he helped her because she helped him.
He stared at the young boy who helped him earlier and asked
"What is your name"
"Lado" the young boy answered
"Do you have a cell phone with you"
"Yes I have"
" would you mind helping me I want to make a call".
He dialed some digits to make the call while on the other hand the call was answered
"Isa it's Tafida, I want you to come to.." he stared at Lado to tell him the name of the village
"Yamaltu village and I don't want anyone to have this information do you copy that and I want you to come alone and hurry I'm waiting" he said before disconnecting the phone call .
After some hours, a black camry with full tint glass parked at the entrance of the village. The driver rushed towards Ammar and greeted him.
Ammar bid Lado before giving him some money as a form of gratitude and pulled Amrita into the car and the driver drove away from Yamaltu village, With Amrita thinking about how destiny played with her and how everything in her life changed within a short period of time.
Ammar on the other hand was busy thinking about a way to approach his father with such an important matter. Mstwww he hissed upon hearing her cries
"Hey keep shut you've been disturbing me with your cries , have I touched you ne ?" He yelled and suddenly she went quiet.
After some hours, the car stopped at the entrance of a huge mansion, everything was just beautiful and breathtaking . After the car was parked, he came out with Amrita behind him. Amrita was awestruck with how the mansion was designed, it was full with people walking there and here. All of them bowing down to Ammar in respect, while he was just stiff as if no one was there. He pulled her towards his apartment which amazed her admiring its beauty.
"Hey stop drooling I hate nonsense " his words brought her out of her thoughts and he walked into the apartment.
