CHAPTER THREE

Third person's POV

"But I've talked to Baba, he said he'll look into it" she told amma

"Ameerah don't be stupid, you know your baba too well. Kina tunanin zai fasa aure da anriga da ansaka rana ne? In two months to come zaki zama matar wani ba Taufeeq ba, better stop fooling yourself and the Taufeeq himself. Stop wasting both your time because your baba doesn't normally get back on his words!" Maa almost annoyed said, Ameerah held her hands

"But amma, what if he back off? What if baba backs off this time around?" She said innocently

"We both know he won't, stop being fool okay" Maa walks out all pissed.

She sighed and dialed his number again, he answered right away.

"Sorry I end the call, Maa came in and was too pissed" she told him.

"Yanzu kenan aure zakiyi dagaske?" He asked trying to sound nice

"Highly probable, Maa assures me that baba is not serious about us" she sighed

"Ameerah dan Allah karki rabu da ni, in kika rabu dani Ameerah wallahi zan mutu" he almost cried, but she was crying already.

"I told you, mu gudu! Wallahi I can live with you under any circumstances" she told him, he was quite for a while before adjusting his throat and say

"I know baby, I also want to be with you. But I can't do that to you, you deserve more than this baby, I can't just steal you away" he said and she sighed

"Non of your family or mine are going to accept this, non of them are going to let us be together...then why don't we runaway? Go anywhere...just anywhere! I can be with you forever without complaining even once I promise you Taufeeq" she told him.

"I want to see you, I'll be here at 7 just like yesterday" he told her and she nodded

"Okay then, I love you baby" she said softly

"I love you more" he send her a kiss before ending the call, she laid back on the bed sighing. What the girls said still disturbing her, she knows Taufeeq finds shaking, and hugging a normal thing to do...but it can't be he loves her for her body shape or any of her physical beauty.

By 7, Taufeeq and Ameerah arrived at their favorite restaurant, McDonalds. They were served their dinner and they both dig in complete silence.

He took a hold of her hand snapping her out of her thoughts

"Baby don't worry, I am here with you" he said gently, she took away her hand nodding her head with a smile

"I just hope at the end of the day we'll be together" she smiled

"Sure Ameerah na, my sugar lips" he winked and she looked away blushing

"I'll get you back home, but before that... I want to take you to Tashfeen, she insisted she wants to see you" he told her referring to his elder married sister and she nodded

"Okay" she smiled and he returned a wider one

They arrived at the big breathtaking house of Alhaji Murtala, Husaband to Tashfeen Murtala. She welcomes them inside with a wide smile.

"He told me what you have suggested about you two, but I want you to think first Ameerah...this is not only affecting the families but also your future family, the family you're going to form together. To me, I think the best thing to do is to confront my fiancé about it, maybe he listens to you and understands your feelings" Tashfeen told her, she was quite thinking of only Allah knows what.
