Nismat's POV

The summer sun was really shining bright well I already knew it would be Hot here since the summer was no less hotter at kano.

my eyes search through the crowd to look for the person that came to pick me up the Airport was full of people.
I spot Ammar he was wearing A black Kaftan and dark sunglasses.

"Adda nismat your highly welcome "He came forward to collect my luggage "Ammaru ka girma "I smiled at him

"You just went to kano for 2 years and you are already saying I have grown older, you couldn't even visit for short breaks " Ammar is right I had a lot of holidays to visit but I choose not to because we had a blast with everyone including Dad on the issue of marriage.Grandma brought her friends grandson whom I knew was a womanizer and ofcourse he does drugs,she insisted on getting me married forcefully using dad in her game,telling him zata tsine mishi, he had to oblige so I applied for internships at Kano to stay with my aunt and ended up serving there so I am back the drama continues.

*****~****

After resting Dad summoned me to his parlour to have a chat with me  I don't know what it is but I definitely have a feeling all is not well.

He clears his throat "Nismat  you are welcome home, I never thought you were going to come back ayy I thought we will go and tie your wedding knot there. Well you are welcome home"he said jokingly

"thank you Baba"i manage to speak my hands where already sweaty, I knew this was going somewhere.
"Nismat I have collected your dowry and your wedding date has been fixed to the next 4 months, I know you will be trembling in fear as to whom I have chosen for you as your life partner, worry not for I promise you would never regret this,I am pleased with his character and his deen. I also apologize for the last time I was about to force you into marrying a wayward person just out of following my mother's orders but this time around I choosed the best for you".

By now I think I have grown grey hairs this is too much I just came back from a journey and they couldn't leave such shocking information for me to have atleast a 24hrs rest no they are hell bent and eager to get me married. I dragged my feets I left him.
I went to Mom's room immediately.

She was laying on her bed resting
"Assallamu Alaikum "I greeted her
she answered and gestured me to sit beside her legs.

"Mama,you're resting Baba just called me and informed me about your decision, I know you have the right to get me married  Islamically but can you please shift the wedding to 10 months or a year let me get to know who I am spending the rest of my life with, not that I am judging your choices but please look at this from my point of view ".

She sat upright "Nimatu"she patted my shoulder "Don't you think you are not getting any younger ,you're 25 done with anything Bsc if you wish to work and continue your studies your husband will be more than supportive he assured us that and wallahi he is a good man,He is out of the country he will be back in 3 months  then you see each other for a month and get married " Her words were more convincing but I am still paranoid "Your right mama Allah yasa haka shi yafi alheri" I said
"May Allah bless you and your union ".

I left her room and came back to our room well I don't really think I have a space in this house because Khaleesat and Aneesah have already preoccupied the room I just look like a tenant.The time has come when your own home doesn't even feels home again your just like a stranger because everyone thinks is time you go and build a home for yourself.

I picked my phone and called Bilkisu I have been in touch with her more than anyone in this world because she is the only one that understands me when I point out fault in every suitor that comes my way she supports me, advice me,pray for me , she is already  a mom of two cute daughters. She was so happy, for me she said she will tell haryrah and hayrat since I don't call them much.

As for hayrat who is now a mother of twins a boy and a girl.we end up picking a fight that I am too choosy if I don't take care I might end up a spinster and later become so desperate that I would settle for anyone and I will say God forbid as long as you are a virtuous Woman Allah will always give you the best Husband.

Maybe This is the best for me I trust Allah in every step of my life.
