Chereads / UMAIMA'S NIKKAH / Chapter 6 - ANGER

Chapter 6 - ANGER

Wa alaikum salam. they both answered with surprise look clearly written on their face.

    After so much deliberation Umaima finally gave in. Only God knows where she got the courage from, But here she was Standing right in front of her husband.

oh Sister Umaima thanks to Allah you came just in time i was about eating your share of the meal. Bilal suddenly blurted out. The look he got from his brother made him wish he could take back his word but it was too late the deed has already been done. He could only await the consequences of his actions.
" pls come join us".
Umar suddenly Said.
  She saw her self moving to the table. Ohh Umaima you are in for big trouble. Just what do you think you are doing. She kept scolding herself not even knowing when she reached the dinning room.
Her gaze shifted to her husband. Looking at him closely, she wouldn't deny the fact that he was so handsome and looks upright he wore a white shirt and a black trouser, his nose was a bit pointed and his hair were black and long almost brushing his shoulder blade, he doesn't even have much beard. He looks so calm.
   But will he really make a good husband was one she couldn't answer. Wait... What was she doing.
If i may be excused i got something to take care of. Bilal said. He just wanted to give these newly wedded couples the time they need to know each other.After getting a nod from his brother, he left the house obviously going out for matters best known to him.
The dinning hall was so silent and Umaima felt so uncomfortable was this the kind of life she would be leaving. she looked up only to meet his gaze she quickly averted her gaze and continued doing justice to her meal. indeed she was really hungry that she was sure of.
Please feel comfortable and make your self at home. i need to check up on something and would be right back. if you need anything you can call the house help for assistance she could also take you round the house if you insist.
   Assalamualaikum.
Umar left the house taking his car keys along.
Wa alaykum Salam Umaima replied almost like a whispher.
   And he is leaving just like that. He didn't even clean the table her gaze flew from where he ate to where his brother and one another person whom she didn't meet had eaten. Was that how they behave who did they expect to clean this mess. ohhhh she lifted her middle finger to my lips upon realizing something they had a house help to help them. Am sure the work here would have been really tiring for her. Umaima concluded within.
    ohh Allah i seek your help and assistance she prayed silently. After eating, she couldn't locate the kitchen. So rude of him he didn't even introduce the house help to me before leaving she mumbled within
  Assalamualaikum Ma"am
From her reaction it showed that she was a bit scared when she heard the sudden voice. She quickly turn around to see it source.
Wa alaikum salam she replied with a sigh of relief.
Sorry Ma'am. I guess I might have frightened you. Umaima nodded confirming her guess to be true. My name is Riyah and am the house help here and I will be attending to all your needs too.
She tilted her head with confusion written all over her face. What does she mean by all my needs?
A girl she bet was almost her age just that she was a bit tall and was quite chubby stood before her with a pleasant smile on her face. from the way she's dressed it looks like she's really been taken good care of. Maybe she was wrong after all, she wore a white hijab, her shirt were not visible due to they were covered by her hijab, but she had a black skirt on and a white shoe.
     "Am Umaima" she replied after some minutes.
"Nice meeting you Ma'am Welcome to the family"
"Ma'am "No way!!
Don't call me that i will be fine with Umaima am sure you are even older than me. She kinda felt relaxed talking to Riyah maybe because she's a fellow sister like myself. Umaima thought within.
Ok sister Umaima welcome to the family. she repeated again.
"ohhhh sorry for my misbehavior, Riyah suddenly said. Making Umaima more confused.
Misbehavior!!! Well, i didn't know what she was talking about not until i felt her trying to take the plate from my hand. Don't worry I can do this on my own. Umaima declining her offer. She gave umaima a look as if saying "Are you Sure" After assuring her it was ok Riyah finally left the plate but not after few unsuccessful attempt Umaima was directed to the kitchen where she dropped her plate. Riyah was welcomed with the sight of umaima doing the dishes. Definitely not what she was expecting. She quickly took the plate from umaima and told her to go rest in her room.
After few unsuccessful attempt to help out in the chores. Umaima finally left the kitchen as Riyah was totally against the idea of her helping out.

       ..............
After observing my salat and reading the Quran i laid on the bed my mind wondering on how my life has gotten to this. i could only conclude that Allah is the best planner so who am I to question him.
   What!!!!! no way. i suddenly stood up. upon realizing something. when my husband comes he would probably come sleep on the bed with me.
I stood up immediately, taking the blanket along obviously ready to sleep on the floor.

             AT ABU SAFWAN'S MANSION
     Abu why did you do this?
why ask all of a sudden . I thought this matter has already been settled.
I need to know what you are planning. Umar enquired further.
My son now is not the right time to discuss this. looking at the bright side it your wedding night am sure your wife will be lonely waiting for you to return.
Abu why are you doing this am sure the poor girl was dragged into this.
  Nonsense where did you hear this from. Didn't you say you will marry her only if she agrees and she did. We got the prove right. Abu Safwan felt so tired explaining this to his son again what wrong with this boy.
   My bad for not been careful i was so hellbent into helping you that i forgot to reconsider my opinion. i mean it is possible that she was threatened to sign the papers.
     Abu he suddenly became deadly serious, I will make sure to find out what this is all about and once i discover that what you are up to is against our religion i won't hesitate to hand you over to the shari'a.
    "You would what"
   Yes Abu you heard me right
ok let see you try . Remember am your father i made you what you are today.
Assalamualaikum Abu. Umar left angrily he just can't stand his father anymore. If this was a matter that relate to him alone he won't have complained but dragging another into whatever he is planning to do is something he won't take.
    Abu Safwan just watched his son. "When the time is right and you will know the truth behind all these am sure you will thank me later on" he said within himself.
Inside his car Umar couldn't help it but he felt so angry both at himself and his father. He had only listen to his father only because of the promise he made to his mother. But enough is enough he wouldn't take this anymore. Been a very short tempered person. He left his father's house he wouldn't want to commit any crime after all. Riding home, he thought about umaima. He felt so sorry for her. Seeing her face earlier he was sure she must have cried her eyes out.
  Getting home after stopping by the mosque to observe prayers. What welcomed him was silence. looks like everyone has gone to bed.
  He got to his bedroom And knocked on the door after waiting for a few minutes and receiving no reply.
Maybe She's a sleep he concluded before opening the door.
   Calm down Umar everything is gonna be okay take your clothes an leave that all. Don't let your anger take the best of you. One thing about Umar was that once he gets angry it takes a long time before he calms down he could go berserk for about five hours. The worst part of it all was that little things could make him angry. He had done series of check up but the Doctor has confirmed he was perfectly ok. He just need to learn how to control his anger.

   "Looks like he is around ohh no what should I do" Umaima cried within. I can't let him touch me no it too early for that. what if he forces me what would I do?  oh Allah i seek your protection. Using the blanket to cover herself. she couldn't help but tremble beneath it. why is he not entering or maybe he had decided not to sleep here. But she was sure he was still right outside the door. She suddenly stayed still upon hearing the sound of the door. Alas he has entered the room.
  The first thing Umar noticed as soon as he entered was the small creature on the floor, wrapped on a blanket beside the bed.

     What do you think you are doing?
Umar asked when he discovered the girl on the floor was still awake. Only Allah knows where she got the courage from but she found her self replying him immediately not bothering to face him and not minding the fact that he didn't even Salamah before asking his question.
     As you can see am trying to get some sleep. so just....
And why didn't you use the bed instead. he asked not allowing her to complete her statement. His Anger was taking over him and he can't even help it.
Umaima felt more irritated from what just busted out from his mouth. who does he think he is. He might be her husband but what gives him the right to question her actions. They don't even know each other.
   "leave me alone i need to get some sleep she manage to say without sounding offensive". she had used a very fluffy blanket to cover her body and her hands had served as the pillow.
'"i said go sleep on the bed '"Umar said removing the blanket from her body that Moment he froze from what appeared before him.
Umaima had not predicted something like this would happen but she had used a very short Vail to sleep. As it was night time she normally wore a singlet and her PJ pants to sleep. Immediately she used the blanket to cover her body it was as if a non mahram had seen her Aura.
   " Am sorry" She apologized immediately. Even though she was not at fault. His actions and behavior right now made her remembered her dream.What would he do now. Could it be that he is exactly what I have seen in my dream. She felt so scared that instant. Using the blanket to quickly cover her face.
Umar didn't say anything and just left without taking the clothe he wanted to take all along.
         Upon hearing the sound of the door Umaima raised her head obviously surprised What happened he left already. "but why"
She wouldn't deny but, she was worried and at the same time scared of him. Did i do something wrong to annoy or could it be what he saw she couldn't help but ask herself.

     Calm down Umar, Calm down. It was just a big stupid mistake not like you did it on purpose. Breath!! Umar, Breath!!  Umar was really finding it hard calm himself .why did he let his anger take control of him. he kept pacing from one end of his study room to the other. "what if she thinks i wanted to take advantage of her. No No No i would never do that she was at fault after all if only she had listened to me all these won't have happened. What would she think of me now?
