CHAPTER NINE
Taheera
I called farida and she turned to look at me but the look I gave her seems like she's annoyed and scared two at a time. I don't back down, and neither of us break eye contact.
"I know you don't lament what happened nor what you made me go through…and if that's what you want, then so be it, but I want you to know that neither does Azaan deserves you nor your commitment" I said and she hissed with a mischievous look, I ignored her and plugged my phone to charge.
The next day I woke up late due to the weirdest headache I had, yes I cried myself to sleep apparently that's the reason for the headache. I walked to the kitchen and brought out farm fresh yogurt from the fridge along with a glass cup, I poured out the yogurt and drank it up at once as though a hungry lion, I wipe out my mouth and ramble over to the sink to rinse off the cup, after I was done I heeded off to ammi's room
Ammi" I called as I turned the doorknob
I found her jotting down some list with some mince of money besides her along with two ATM cards, I clapped my hands together then sat beside her at the edge of the bed. Wait she didn't even noticed me coming in, talk less of answering me. wow ammi and money has always been each other's favorite.
Ammi" I half yelled
She slant her head towards me and threw me the what is it glare
I came in and you didn't even noticed me" I pouted
She dropped the pen and memo that she was holding and looked at me
So now since you disappointed us and azaan's family, why don't you introduce the person better than him" said ammi
I squinted once and breathe deeply, I muttered sorry loudly for her to hear me. I open my eyes but tears betrayed me and rolled down over to my chin, I hurriedly wiped it away and raised my head up but only to met eye to eye with her, I grinned and nodded my head holding both of her hands
"I am sorry ammi…and insha Allah you and Khalifa will never be disappointed in me ever again I promise"
The relationship between mother and child is inevitable and that's why ammi took both of my hands in hers too and told me the most comfortable words ever
"it's ok taheera and Besides everyone make mistakes the only thing that parents need from their children is to make them proud and you are one of these kids, so please make sure you make us proud, okay?". I nodded agreeingly sobbing while she brought her hands to my back patting me softly and slowly
I don't want anyone to know what's going on between farida and I, that's why I decided to take the blame, and I know my sister wasn't that selfish and certainly she will come around one day, without doubt.
ONE MONTH LATER
Farida go and take your bath before they arrive!" kubra called out
Let her be, when they arrive we will just close the door and hide the key till they left" I chuckled at her
She glared playfully at us and left for the bathroom
Today azaan's family will be bringing the LEFE gifts and the necessary items for the wedding, we on the other side are busy arranging the welcoming reception . I walked out leaving kubra in the room and went to the kitchen to help the maids assigned to the festivities
Well-done" said i setting foot in the kitchen with a little beam across my lips
Thank you ma'am" they both said in unison
Let me give you a hand then" I unfold the dough they wrapped and started turning, I cut the dough into two parts, one for samosa and the other for rolls. I cut the veggies and made the fillings and started filling it up, after I was done with the fillings, I heated up the oil and started fraying it then ammi barged in in a haste telling me to go out and collect the turaren wuta she ordered. I rinsed my hands, dried it with a towel and climbed up stairs to my room. I went to my closet and brought out a Vail lilac in color and wrapped it around my head. I descended down the staircase and strolled out of the house.
I didn't see any delivery man around as I walked out nonetheless only a car that looks a little bit familiar. I walked towards the car and before I knocked on the windscreen, the door swinged open and who I saw made me squinted and thunderbolt.
Yeah it's the real me not your imagination" he giggled fixing his gaze at me
And who told you I was seeing you in my head lately?" I chuckled softly
"Well, your behavior of course" he giggled again and this time around we both laugh at the same time
My sister asked me to bring this sundur and turaren wuta to your house, so here is it" he reached out for the turaren wuta and hand it over to me
So when is the wedding? He asked leaning against his car bonnet and I smile gently maybe showing a little bit of envy on it
"or you don't want to get married anymore?" he chuckled at me
"I am not the one getting married, my sister is" I grinned answering him
Oh wow that's cool though…" a car honked at us before nurain complete what he was saying, I twirled my head around and gasped happily at the conveys that got my attention but suddenly dropped after I saw Azaan coming out of one navy blue 508 Peugeot 2019 model, he looked so handsome and so his friends, fairly enough his relatives too.
I spin to nurain who fixed his gaze at me, beaming like a child who saw his favorite candy, I snapped at him and we boost into a fit of laughter again. "I need to go now" said i acclaiming. "the groom's family?" he asked spinning his gaze to where Azaan and his relatives are "uhm" I answered " so when is the wedding?" he asked once more "in the next three weeks insha Allah"
"Am I invited?" he playfully winked "of course you are…why won't I invite my new friend, infact you will be my guest of honor" I glared at him playfully and said that with merriment
He scrutinized on his wrist watch and slowly tapped at it "I got to go too" he whispered enough for me to hear, I nodded at him with a slight sneer "ok till I hear from you" he grinned as though a Cheshire cat and entered his car and drove away
I entered the house while some of Azaan's relatives are bringing down different kind of suitcases from two Hilux car. The suitcases are much and also stunning too, can't wait to find out what's in them. I rambled majestically to the parlor where azaan's aunts and some relatives were and crouched down to greet them but got cutted in by one middle age lady that looks like his mother. "are you the bride, Masha Allah you are so pretty" she complimented. "she would have been the bride if not for her foolishness" another lady said louring at me unconditionally. The room became mute all of a sudden supposedly they is no one around, my mom hunker down with embarrassment flushing all over her face where as kubra's mom aunty Lara spoke out "I think all this should be a bygones, they're in the past so let it be and besides their fates aren't designed to be with each other that's why such a misunderstanding arises. Maybe he would never knew farida existed if not for dating her sister first so let things slide, and please don't talk Ill at her" aunty Lara spiel out sympathetically " I am sorry for all that happens please" the lady that complimented me said while the rest of the ladies nodded agreeingly and begun with the introductions and so on.
I climbed up stairs to my room, where I found farida all dressed up looking so elegantly and the little make over coup her face so well that she looks like a bride, well she is a bride after all" I mentally whispered.
"what did I missed" I said "yauwa taheera…you see I told her to change into her lafaya but she refused to do so" kubra grumped
But she looks good with this lace though" I said " yes, but I think it will be more appropriate if she put this instead...since she will be meeting her in laws" kubra said pointing the lafaya that farida was holding
Yes farida the lafaya will be more appropriate put on" she nodded and headed to the closet
Not long ago, she came out and aunty Lara came knocking on the door and I went to open it, She came to bring her and also asked us to accompany her. As we dismounted down stairs, they started jubilating while some started spraying foam perfume. Well, they're from borno anyways so we should expect such things not the other way around but I so much love their culture especially they way they welcome their daughter in laws.
"Sannu da zuwa Yar nan, sannu" azaan's mother's sister I suppose because she so much look alike with his mother, They euloged her and blessed her and also blessed us too. Aunty Lara told us to go and fetched the refreshments and snacks, we stood up, matched to the kitchen and brought the refreshments, whereas the maids brought food and the rest. I served them Italian sausage pasta and chicken while on the other hand kubra served them the samosas, rolls and croissants, the maids helped us serves with the beverages and co.
After some hours later, we brought the thanks for coming bags and take it to their cars but come across the most biggest present ever, Azaan gifted farida a car, I mean a red Corolla S 2018 model can't believe it
Ammi, aunty Lara and the rest couldn't be more happier. They began to blessed Azaan and their marriage and it takes everything in me to get envy of my sister, I mean why not, she and that so called azaan deceived and two-timed me, but I covered up with happiness great delight.
