A Beguiling Ruse

chapter 15

Yes, you're seeing right.
A double update😊

Wonders!! Wonderful!!! These people are full of amazing and beautiful things that am yet to figure out. They are full of surprises.

I ducked my head down and chuckled, still in a state of disbelief and surprise. I stood there, in a stream of thoughts, trying to get the best plan to finish those who are sitted right on the sofa over there.

I plan on standing where I was but what fell on my ears is my biggest nightmare, a wave of dizziness suddenly engulfed me in a not so good way bcoz I stumbled over.

Before I can meet with the unwelcoming tile, I held tight the staircase for support. Indeed, death is inevitable, and someone's time has surely come.

"Are you out of your senses!" Ammiey's yell brought me back  to the harsh/glaring reality.

"Nothing you do can stop this from happening..." Hajia Rabi shouted back but her husband dragged her down mumbling something to her. And she do calm down.

How I so much love this drama.

I strolled to where Ammiey was and squatted a little to greet my sweet uncle and his darling wife

"Lafia qlau, y makarantan(we're doing well, how's the school?)" He replied and I answered back with alhamdulillah before I turned to my mom

"Hal tahtajuni huna
(do you need me here)?" I asked in Arabic to avoid any more chaos

"La...eud ila ghurfatik, nahnu nunaqish shay'an
(no...go back to your room, we are discussing something)" she responded and I sighed before giving her a long look then turn to my uncle

"I'll be in my room"  hajia Rabi scoffed while my uncle stopped me

"Wait dear ...I want to ask you something?" My uncle asked and I nodded

"Yea sure"

"Do you have anyone you are seeing?" He asked, and I quickly raised my head to look at him

I think I got a whiplash at the process

is this man for real?

Alright... let's see where this will take us to

"No?" I replied and he smiled

"That's g.." he started but Ammiey cuts him off

"We are not doing this in her presence Bashir, and don't forget..I still didn't concede to this nuisance and will never agree to it" Ammiey said fuming and  I dismissed myself so that I won't get to hear their reply

Oh ni Aishatu! Kar dai dagaske yakeyi akan abinda da naji dazu (would it be he's serious about what I heard earlier)

I shrugged off the thoughts of what ifs and what's going on their mind and went my to my Haven.

I took my books and read, to get things off my mind.

Downstairs, the atmosphere is thin that a knife could be use to cut it off. Hajia sohaila still couldn't comprehend what their aim is, by wanting to marry her daughter to their son.

When she thought she finally get to fulfill the long time wish of her deceased husband, of marrying her daughter to a deserving husband, this people want to end what is yet to begin.

What kills her slowly is that, in the northerners culture the family of the girl's father had the task to marry a daughter, and they are the ones to give her hand in marriage.
