The Unfulfilled Vow

chapter five

I was so caught up that I didn't realise aysha's presence
"Who was that" she asked

"He is the ayan I was telling you about earlier "

"Are you serious"

"Yes , why do you sound surprised "

" all this while I thought ayan was one ugly fat looking boy, not knowing he is this hot "

"Mstww what is so hot about him"

"Believe it or not he is hot "

" I don't think so "

"That is because you hate him so much that you can't see how fine he is "

"Can we please not talk about him "

"Ok, I think mallam muhamadu is here "

"Were is he" I asked looking around

"Over there" aysha pointed at the gate were mallam muhamadu just entered

"Are you also leaving now "

"No I have one more lecture " she said looking at her watch "I think it time self, bye talk to you later "she said hugging me and I hugged her back

" bye then"I said while walking to were mallam muhammadu parked the car ,I entered the car and greeted mallam muhammadu before we zoomed off....Immediately we reached home I tiredly walked inside the house .I guessed mama was in her boutique so I just walked to my room and took a warm shower before changing my cloth to a simple tight and a baggy shirt then prayed asr before going to the kitchen to eat....i was heading back to my room when the door opened revealing mama and amal..

"Ina wuni mama"(good afternoon mama)

"Lafiyah aymah, yakike, ya makaranta"(fine aymah, how are and your studies)

"Alhamdulillah mama( we thank god mama)

"Toh mashaAllah "

"Hello ya aymah"

"Hello to you too" I said with a smile

"I am soo hungry let me go and eat " amal said standing up from the couch .

"Dama gluton kawai
"See who is calling someone a gluton" mama said while climbing the stair's

"Mama" I whined...she gave a laugh and walked to her room leaving me alone in the parlour so I made my way to my room to sleep...I woke up from the call of adhan for maghrib prayer so i performed my wudu then prayed before going down stairs were I met everyone already eating ..as usual always late so I greeted everyone before sitting to have my meal ...we were done eating and mama and baba were already in the main parlour so me ya na'im and amal were in the parlour upstairs watching lady and tramp ...i was so engrossed in the movie that I didn't notice my phone ringing

"Sallam mama"

"Come to the parlour your baba want to talk to you "

"Okay mama ,I am on my way"..I was already on full panic mode , why would baba want too talk to me ..hmmm I hope it goes well..I smoothened out my cloth and tied my veil properly before heading towards the parlour

"AsalamuAliakum" I said while entering the parlour

"Wa'alaikumusalam" I heard Baba's voice answer .... I carefully walked inside and sat on the floor opposite baba ...I was waiting for him to talk but he didn't .

"Baba you sent for me "

Silence

Silence

Silence

"Mama na you know that we are your parent and we will never choose something that is bad for you , you know that right"

"Yes baba I know that "...but I still don't understand"

"Be patient mama na..... I want you to get married "

"But baba I don't have anybody in mind yet and am not ready"

" mama na, am not asking you for any suitor , I already have one for you"... I think am not hearing properly ..wait baba want to get me married ...and he is not even asking for my permission he is telling me and who is the person ..,even though I know that my parent will never choose something that will harm ..this whole marriage thing is insane because am not getting married now or anytime soon .

"To who baba"

"To alhaji Abdullahi's son Ayan"

"B..a...b..a" I was already at the verge of tears .....what is wrong with my baba today ...of all people Ayan for that matter ...I am not ready for marriage .especially the one with ayan in it ...I am so not ready but I am a child that respect her parent decisions ...so I did what came to my mind first.

"Okay baba, I know that you are my father and you will never make a decision that I will end up getting hurt from, so I accept this marriage proposal wholeheartedly "

"Thank you mama na ,Allah ya miki albarka "( may God shower his blessings on you)...I just kept quite not knowing what to say next because believe me I am very shocked and mama is not helping matters with the way she is quite and she is not even looking my way ...I quietly stood up to go to my room when mama's voice stopped me

"Aymah"it was mama

"Naam mama"

"Ayan is coming to see you on Friday after juma'ah prayer and your sister nusaybah is also on her way tomorrow ,inshaAllah "

"Okay tohm"......yayyy ya nusaybah is coming back at list I have somebody I could talk to ..if you are wondering who she is , she is my cousin and she has been staying with us since she was five after her parent died from a plane crash people hardly notice that we ain't blood because of how close we are with her and how she is loved by all..ya nusaybah schools in BUE in Eygpt and she normally comes back when she has a break and I guess this time it is for a break too ....I absent mindedly walked to the parlour and immediately sat on the soffa before a sob escaped my mouth

"SubahanAllah aymah what is wrong with you " that was amal

"Aymah mai yafaru ,what did baba say to you ,what happened talk to us "...they all fired but I couldn't answer any one of them I just continue to cry my eyes out...."aymah please talk to us what happened to you"

"Ba...b..a.. Wa..n..t t..o get me mar...r..i..e..d"

"SubhanaAllah to who ..did he ask for your permission first"

"To...
