25// Flashback 2
"It was on a faithful day, my wedding day" she said inhaling deeply. Both Raima and Ahmad's expression gave it that they were really shocked. Was she married?
"On the 25th of December, 2016 was my wedding to Umar. Yes, I was almost married" she looked at Ahmad before she continued.
AN: It is going to be in Nabila's POV but as a flashback.
"You girls should get ready the groom and his people are on their way" one of my aunts said.
"Alhamdulillah. I'm finally married to the love of my life. Alhamdulillah" I was so happy. Umar was a gentleman indeed. He gave me all the happiness and joy you could imagine. I'm so lucky to have him. I can vividly remember the day our wedding day was fixed, seven months ago.
"Girls hurry up. We don't have much time" I said with a wide smile that didn't leave my face since the when I was informed that the knot has been tied.
"This one is eager to leave her parents house fa" Yasmeen, one of my cousins teased
"Yasee bazaki gane bane( Yasee you won't understand)" I said smiling bashfully
"Hmm. Let's hurry up dai" Ama said sitting up from her lying position
"Yawwa"
After the make up artist finished my make up, they helped me into my pearly white tail gown. It had sparkling white embroideries around the neck and the sleeves. My head tie was tied firmly around my head.
I smiled as I looked at my self in the mirror. Mrs Nabila Umar Garba. So perfect.
I snapped a mirror pic and sent it to Umar. I blushed when I say his message
L'Amour de ma vie; Alhamdulillah, you're all mine. In no time I'll be with you. Keep smiling Mi Lady
I was so happy. Just then, one of my cousin ran into the room
"Hidaya lafiya?" I asked seeing how sweaty she was and how her body was vibrating.
"They had an ac..accident" Just then, my heart started beating faster.
I was trying to remove the negativity in me then I asked
"Who?"
"The groom and his friends" immediately I heard that everything went blank. I fainted...
#######
Immediately I opened my eyes, I met Maami's pitiful eyes staring into mine.
"Alhamdulillah. It was a dream" I looked at my clothes then I noticed that I was wearing my gown.
"Kullu nafsin zaa'ikatul maut" Amma(ama's mom) said.
"He's dead!" She dropped the bomb and suddenly busted into set of new fresh tears.
I couldn't comprehend anything. I quickly stood up with full force but due to the strong headache disturbing me, I started feeling dizzy. I still made my way to my drawer and brought out my car keys. I quickly ran out of the house through the back door ignoring the people stopping me.
"Malam Musa open the gate" I said then jumped into my car. I could hear my mom's voice telling me to stop..but I couldn't. I didn't even know where I was headed to. All I know is that my husband needs me and I have to be with him.
I kept driving with full speed. Some of the drivers were insulting me thinking I was drunk while some stared in confusion. I'm sure they must be thinking that I ran away from my wedding.
My headache didn't stop as I started having a blurry vision. I still tried as hard as I could to see the road clearly. I didn't know how but I was looking for a pain reliever in my dashboard. Immediately I found it, I turned my head a little to the opposite direction trying to grab a bottle of water. Before I could say "bingo" I crashed into Raima. I was quick to stop the car then I got out. I saw her on the floor lying in a pool of blood. I wanted to help her out but seeing the amount of people with her I decided to leave. Knowing that they'll take her to the hospital.
I got into the car, took the pain killer and zoomed off in the highest speed I could get to. Yes, I used to be a rough driver and the situation at hand wasn't helping matters.
I got to the nearest cemetery and unfortunately, that was where my husband, Umar was going to be buried. I ran towards him as they were about to put him in.
"Umar!!" I said shaking his body.
"We had planned how we'll take care of our kids. You can't just leave. You know, we have a lot to discuss. We finally got united you can't leave me. This is cheating!" I said yelling and crying. I didn't care who and who was present. Daada and my brothers were trying to hold me back but I wasn't listening.
"He's dead. You have to take heart." Mahmud said
"Shut up! You don't know anything. My Umar is healthy. I know he's listening to me and he'll wake up. Don't worry" I said clearing my tears
"If you guys think he's dead. Then to me he's not. He'll wake up and I'll prove that to all of you" I said pointing at the ones in front of me
"Time is going, we're supposed to put him in by now" one of said
I immediately hugged Umar tightly
"What are you doing? Do you know that you're adding more bad deeds for him as you're doing that? You're supposed to be praying for him"
"He's not dead" I said breaking down again. I started moving backwards slowly as I gave them way to carry him.
Immediately they were about to put him I yelled a wait. I ran to him again before whispering into where I know his ear is situated "don't worry. I won't let them prove you dead. I know you're sleeping. Sleep peacefully my dear. Don't mind them, I'll come and take you with me"
I placed my ears on his chest. Then I smiled. "He said you should put me in together with him"
They all looked confused, some where saying that I've gone crazy but I don't really care.
They looked at each other as if passing silent information then some of them nodded.
"Okay but you'll have to wait till we put him then put you on top" I nodded feeling happy then allowed them to carry him.
Mahmud(that my family friend), and one of my cousins carried me as if they were going to put me in then they started running towards the exit with me. I kept struggling to get out of their hold but they were really strong.
I cried till I had no energy as they pushed me into the car. My cousin gave me something to take. I don't what it was but whatever he gave me really helped in soothing my mind then later making me to fall asleep.
Next Chapter coming up soon......
