Hanan!
Opening my bedroom window i climb on and sit on the balcony giving me the full access to the view of our street, the morning cloud is a little chill yet the sun has started to rise, my mind drift to 5days days ago at the hospital and i smile, just seeing him makes me alright and everyday i see him he just look handsome than i last saw him, i always pray that God should make him mine i don't want to pray to God to remove his love in my heart because honestly i just want to be with him the man of my dream.
I want God to fulfill my wishe even do that is the only wishe he will grant me in this life."Hanan."i snap out of my thoughts and turn to face my mum.
"Good morning mummy."I say jumping back inside the room.
"Morning.
How are you?"she ask worriedly and i nod."I am ok mum."I say she nod and sit on the edge of my bed.
"Come and sit hanany."my mum say patting the space next to her on the bed.
I sit,she smile at me and hold my hands in hers.
"Hanany."she say and i look at her.
"Na'am mummy."I say and she take a deep breathe.
"Hanan is there anything that is disturbing you and you don't want anyone to know, please tell me i am your mum feel free to discuss anything with me, my mum and i are very close you did see the way i am with her please hanan i want that type of relationship with you.
I don't like the way you're always isolating yourself. Please tell me if something is bothering you.'my mum Say pledingly and i nod with a smile."Mummy i am fine and nothing is bothering me i swear."I say and she sigh.
"Toh, why did thé doctor say you'ré emotionally disturbed."my mum say worriedly and i sigh.
"Mummy i am fine wlh."I say and she breathe out a heavy breathe.
"Ok .
If you say so.Anyway i want to discuss something very important with you."she say and i nod."Did you have a boyfriend?"she ask and i look at her in bewilderment.
"Boyfriend?
Mummy i am just 19yrs, no i dont."i say and she sigh."You'ré graduating next month and i think its better if i ask you now because immediately after your graduation you'ré getting married i just want to know if you have someone in your life."she say and i shake my head.
"I dont have a boyfriend and i dont want to marry a stranger,
I dont want to even marry now."I say and she sigh."Hanan.
I am your mother and i know what is best for you i am discussing this with you because your dad will not want to force you into an arranged marriage i am also not going to force you If you dont want go be with him i wont force you kinji."she say and i nod."Who is hé?"i ask and she smile.
"It's hafiz your brother i know you girls of nowadays dont like all this family marriage but i think hafiz twill take care of you since you'ré his sister, he is a very decent and understanding guy."she say and i look at her confuse.
"Did hé say hé loves me?"i ask curiously.
"Not yet i just want to hear from you if he is ok for you before i tell his mum to speak to him, dont put it in your mind and think maybe we want you to be with each other by force, jasra will speak to hafiz and if he say hé has a girlfrend nobody is going to force any of you to be with each other we just want thé best for you."she say and i nod.
A part of me is happy and excited but deep inside me i know thé answer to his question, he has a girlfriend, a girlfriend he care soo much about and want to spent thé rest of his life with it is such a though pill to swallow knowing he will actually reject me without a second thought.
"Are you alright hanan.
If you dont want him please tell me but dont cry i dont want to force you into an arrange marriage because i know thé beauty in marrying someone you love."my mum say cleaning my face and i smile."No mum i am happy by your choice i hope God choose what is best for us ."I say and she nod with a smile.
"May Allah bless you."she say and i nod.
"Ameen mummy."I say and she stand up.
"Let me go and call jasra so i will tell her i have speak to you thén she will speak to hafiz."she say and i nod.
I watch as she leave thé room and close thé door shut.
I throw myself on thé bed with a sigh.
I close My eyes listening to my heartbeat, i dont care if he will accept me because of our family or out of pity, i will be with him as long as he doesn't reject me hell even if he reject me i will be with him because i care about him and i believe one day he will have same feeling i have for him.Hafiz!Coming out of thé airport premises i sigh in relief, thé stupid seminar actually lasted for 3days i spend an extra two days with my love it's actually been a long time since we spend some quality time together Now that i am back it will take a while before i visit again, its very unfortunate that her mum is already budging her about marriage i will really love to marry her now but honestly speaking i dont want to be thé one to confront my parent about marriage it will look as if i am desperate, i am despearate but i just Have to hold on till they talk to me about that i am 27 and sincerely speaking i think i am due for marriage but knowing my mum if i speak about that she will start her dramatic speeches."Over here dude."fazil say standing by his SUV i walk to thé car and we did our signature greeting before i enter thé car."How was thé seminar?"he ask as he start thé car.
Hanan!"I know that will happen i wasn't expecting him to say yes."I say to Amani after she finish telling me how her parents talked to ya hafiz about our marriage and he declined."But mummy say she doesn't care if he wants to be with you or not , I am just worried about you hanan when ya hafiz is forced into doing something he doesn't want to,it usually ended up into a disaster."she say worriedly and i smile."I don't care Amany,I love ya hafiz for a very long time and i don't care if he doesn't love me back in return I will be with him until he learn to love me."I say and my bestfriend sigh."Hanan let's not fool ourselves here and by now you should know this is real life not all those novel you're reading, you can't convince someone to love you in as much as that person is already in love with someone else it's difficult, you're crazy."she say and i smile just in time my bedroom door open."Hanan.Hafiz is here to see you."my m
Pacing in his apartment bedroom hafiz sigh frustratedly and face Palm,Why him? never did he ever think even in his wildest dream that a day like this will come a day he has to let go thé girl he love for 8years how is he going to unleash this devastated news to nadia, Hé cant even believe what is happening and that weird girl his parents want him to marry he cant she is not even thé type of girl he want to be with, she is just a brief, weird, very antisocial girl,she is just an akward girl that embraces solitude and derived happiness in fantasys and to think she love him makes him want to yuck out a saliva, Hé has to do something and thé only way out is to convince his parents, his bedroom door barge open and his mum enter she looks really livid."Mu.......Hafiz try saying but his mum doesn't let him finish as her palm collide with his cheek.
.Hafiz!Entering the hospital with the food bag on my hand i ignore all the weird stare everyone is giving me and head straight to the familiar room, Ofcrse they will stare.How will a handsome guy wearing a suit instead of holding a laptop bag or something professional he is holding a fucking food bag thanks to my mum for wanting me to be a good fiancee and prove to her i really care about my so called fiancee."Hafiz."the familiar voice say and i turn to see my soon to be mother inlaw."Good morning mummy."I say squating and she smile."Morning hafiz,How are you doing?Give me the foodbag and you don't have to bring her food all the time."she say collecting the foodbag from my hand and i smile."It's nothing Anty,I am going to the office just want to check on her before going."I say as we walk sideway."It's fine hafiz we're actually leaving this morning the discharge papers will soon b
