@Majeed's P.O.V

"But...I don't even know her, I don't like her dad! " I muttered in utter disgust, my brows furrowed, his statements were daring to break my little heart. Cause I couldn't take them all.

"I know.. I know you're not even aware of her existence but now you do,I made my words and you know better that I don't go back on my words"dad said and I tried hard to control my wrath, and not to outrage right there, since i was never known to be contentious, but seriously I was fuming in anger.

--------

I drove recklessly as though I was drunk but my situation was far worst than that of a drunkard, i drove without knowing where I was heading to, i just wanted get away from home and if possible cry out my pain, or say it out to someone. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt the wetness rolling over my cheeks, I couldn't remember the last time i cried and the reason why i cried. I used to be a person of standard and endurance, but right now i am crumling.

Jabi, evening....

I parked my car outside the one-storied house...my granny was in the kitchen making her favorite dish, tuwon shinkafa and Egusi soup, she wouldn't let the cook make it for her, to her she was the only one who could make egusi soup and make it taste good to everyone and well that's her own discovery or prophecy, so she will rather make it herself. I sat in the living room watching the TV while waiting for my granny to come out, not that I was understanding anything . I couldn't hold back the tears I was holding the moment I set my eyes on granny, I could see the worries, fright and even guilt in her orbs. She hugged me, while seated, she lapped my head caressing my soft hair as she usually does. I really needed that.

"Whatever happens you must know that there's qadr, good one or bad, you must learn to accept it as a Muslim. " Granny started with her cool voice that always made me fall asleep for the lullaby when I was even a child, as for now its Making me go crazy some more. "Granny I can't, I know you knew everything ...cause dad won't dare to do that without your approval". "Why granny? Did you make them do that to me? To break my heart and to ruin my brain?" I sobbed.

"Majeed, you know that your parent and I never go against your will, but this is something else, something that has to be done this way, I'm sorry" All I could do was watch her as she spoke her magic words.

"You will marry Raihana cause i want her somewhere near me, and somewhere close to you as well, if not that she has her aunt she would have had no one, I once heard her said this and I felt really bad, she deserves more and better, and i think she has everything since she has you, she has your parents and I, I want her in here with us so she can feel loved again, I'm sorry it has to be this way...for you, but you won't regret it majeed " she said assuringly.

"I don't like her, i don't even know her......and  god I don't want to marry her, i understand your intentions and Allah will reward you without even accomplishing it, so why not set me out of this, I want to marry someone I truly love and someone I can trust with my heart"I pointed out deliriously, She gave me one of her glares and that shut me up, by that I knew I was in for the worst shocker of my life and I hated it when she activate this ija mood.
"And do you have that person you truly love?" She asked her face scrunching up.

"I don't, but I will, very soon if you will let me" I was just saying that because I already knew i was doomed.

"I think this is your fate and you just can't escape it, besides she's a beautiful and calm girl, I'm sure you will fall for her at first sight" she wave it off with her hand, as if it was something simple that's easy to overcome.

She smiled and patted my shoulder, with that she left for her room not wanting to listen to any of my complaints, and I felt like swallowing my own heart at that instant. My body felt numb, my knees went weak and I couldn't believe what was happening, but one thing I was determined to was I had to have it out with them all.

I lean on the sofa holding my head that was hammering, I couldn't think straight, I walked out deliriously and sat in the car.

I've never thought something like this would ever happen to me my entire life, it was completely surreal and I wished it was a dream so I could abort it, i mean who will think I would someday be constrained to marry my cousin sister, not even that I was in love with her, though I wasn't a beau to anyone, but I knew my girl would have been somewhere, you know...out there waiting for me to reach her. Had I known, wouldn't I have brought a girl home? I could have done that right from my secondary school. Who would have cared if it tends to stop this disaster.

@Raihana's P.O.V

I sat on a chair in front of the window watching the garden, i leaned on the window my chin on my forearms, the late morning sun has burned off the layers of morning must outside and the garden stretched out bright green beyond, and a fresh morning scent from the leaves and flowers had spread across the backyard and directly reaching out to my window, i let my gaze flicked around the garden so it could bring me some comfort or at least help me calm my mood in some ways.

I was supposed to be in the kitchen with aunt and the househeps since my uncle would be on his way from Kano today, but I don't feel like going out of my room, I wanted my self stocked and have my time alone until my uncle comes home. Only then I can tell him my disapproval towards this marriage or whatever it is, I wasn't in for it.

I sighed and moved to the bed, my head was pounding so bad daring to split yet I was trying to collect my thoughts, I don't want to think about all the negativities in it, but if i was to do that wouldn't I have thought that this was happening because my parents were no more? But I won't, cause doing so will mean I was being ungrateful for everything they're doing. I was grateful and will forever be if that was my fate then what could I have done? It was indeed meant to be.

Poor majeed.....
Or
Poor raihana.....
