#unknown pov#
" You dare to say you want to leave , after everything you have gone through " Bilal's voice boomed .
"The plan was to ruin the whole Gaddafi family ".
" Get the whole resources needed" .
"t was to make them never be able to see the daylight.".
"Seriously "!
"Like man you are next on the list ".
"Are you that stupid to think of giving up now ",
"You are like a step away from Victory "
"Boss said if you do this he would hand over everything to you and retire peacefully ".
"I know "
"I know ".
It was the only thing I could manage to say .
The way Bilal stared at me I knew what I had said wasn't enough . "Look "!
"Stop overeating "
" I'll get over this pretty quick . I'm sure ...........
" I will ruin that family if not for anything , "for taking my only source of joy ".
Kar a taba amaryan Nan .(Don't touch the bride ).
Angama.
(It's done ).
Hajiya Maryam danda's building .
Akram's pov.
I was really angry 💢.
The first news I get from the house is that khaulat got slapped for insulting Khalil's bride .
Like that was an insult to me .
I was his best man.
Even after all our parents had beefed over we still remained buddies .
Even after he didn't get married to my sister Aisha he still respected the fact I didn't have a say in their affairs .
And now they couldn't just let him be , they had to mess up his chance at being happy.
There she was coming down in her red lace , looking so captivating and devilish , I wish I could add horns to her perfectly tied gele . If only she hadn't had to face the world earlier .
Khaulat was a darling . but not anymore.
I didn't know how annoying it was until she smiled her billion dollar smile .
"Ya Akram you look good "
Then ,
I became infuriated .
"Khaulat how could you" .
I knew I shouldn't shout at her but I couldn't help it
"that's my best friend you are talking about ".
"How could you even think of ruining his day ."
"What were you thinking".
" I come back to this country and this is the first news I'm getting".
"I even had to lie to him that I got a late flight ".
I would have rambled on but I was stopped by my mum.
"Lalai ma najm ".
"Akram lalai ma ".
My mum's voice overpowered mine .
"How old is your sister now".
Eh! tambaya nake .( I'm asking )".
" I felt pity for Khalil ",
" I sent away all her suitors just for him and he rubs that prostitute in her face ."
"Don't you have shame or did I train you without decency ".
"Ansa ni "!
"Akram ka ansani nace"
.
(Answer me. I said answer me).
"He told me he wasn't ready" ,
O "I kept khaulat like an idol in this house and he gets married to that thing ".
"Subahanallah mama !.
"That's a human being you are talking about" . She was definitely being too harsh . I had to speak out.
" I don't care she is with what is mine ". Khaulat interjected.
I can't believe khaulat still had the guts to talk .
"khaulat shut up when I and your mum are speaking. "I hate disrespect.
" If she is incapable of bringing a suitor it shouldn't be put on Khalil's shoulder ",
"when I'm living to Abuja after this wedding she is coming with me ".
"There will be no rumors to deal with and I'm sure she will find someone there ".
"Even if she doesn't,"
"I won't let her be anywhere near Khalil , because she will cause trouble".
"This whole thing is to keep the family going , it's to keep a legacy ". My mother spoke conspicuously.
"Why must it be Khalil" .
"Mama why"?
"Is it because he is easy going ?
"Or because he absorbs everything you do ?
"I am your mother for goodness sake .
How can you talk to me like that" she spoke again .
I had actually lost it coz I was angry .
"I know mama and I'm sorry ".
"I just feel like you went too far this time"
" You took khaulat to disrespect him" .
"Anything I do Akram it's for our betterment ".
"Ka ji Koh najm ".
she began to yell. Trust Nigerian mother's.
"_Do you have a father to give you all I have given you"
"I did everything by myself ".
"Not because you now have change ah pocket you want to disregard me bah "..
"I'm sorry mama ."
"May Allah forgive us all ".
There was an underlying finality in my words .
With that I left the house for the wedding event .
