18~the request
It's been two weeks going to three since I arrived here
Mother and everyone have always been good to me.
Uncle Ali dropped by twice
Hopefully not with his twins
The first time no one was at home so I got bored and then I decide to read the Quran and he met me reciting and he was impressed few minutes later father came back and I excused myself.
Then the second time I went out with Fareeda then we met him in the house when we came back.
I miss my family terribly,I called last week and Inna picked she told me about everyone's well being and how Baba has forbidden my sisters from keeping contact with me.
School has been very interesting,we had our mid semester test and I was a topper.
Some people congratulated me and I made new friends except for Zainab and her group,she also got second in our set but no she wanted the top spot.
"What are you doing?"Fareeda asked bringing me out of my thoughts
"Thinking"I replied
"I miss my family and to think is just a month I did here"I added with a sad smile.
She hugged me and I hugged her back smiling.
"Don't worry,once is break time you can visit home"Fareeda assured
"I guess so"I said sadly
"Ramadan is near dear"she said excitedly and I nodded happily
"Malak!Fareeda uncle Ali is here"mother called
"Let's go"Fareeda said getting up
We got to the living room and uncle Ali was talking to father.
"We are really proud of giving her this scholarship"uncle Ali commented
"Malak has no problem gaskiya (truly )"Father said
Oh they were talking about me
"Good afternoon uncle Ali"Fareeda greeted
"Good afternoon"I greeted as we as across them
"Malak,Fareeda how are you?"Uncle Ali asked
"We are good"Fareeda replied
"Alhamdulilah"I added
"Asumi(fasting)starts next week"Uncle Ali reminded
"Wallahi uncle"Fareeda said smiling
"You are going to see alot of me and the boys"Uncle Ali said smiling
Father laughed
"Well there is enough space"Fareeda assured
The boys?as in the twins
I'm not scared of what I did but I'm scared of what one of them will do to me if he finds me.I don't want any trouble,I just wanted to teach him a lesson.

Ayub's pov (Malak's father)
It's been almost a month since my daughter left
If people ask I normally say I don't know and they found it really strange.
"Baba,Auwal is here"Zaina informed
"Auwal?"I puzzled
"Yes"she replied
"Go bring us water.how is Yusra's health?"I asked
"She's getting better"she replied
"Alhamdulilah"I said with a sigh
As soon as Zaina walked out, Auwal came in.
We exchanged our pleasantries.
"What's bring you here son?"I asked with a smile
"Uncle Ayub, I actually wanted you talk to you about Malak"he said politely
"It's a request actually"he added
"Go on"I encouraged
"I want permission to be seeing her"he said shyly
"You know son,Malak is not here at the moment"I reminded him
"Okay,any time she comes back but I will be dropping by often"he said smiling
"Okay"I agreed
Zaina walked in with a tray with two cups on it.
"Thank you"Auwal said taking the cup from the tray
"Baba"she handed my cup
"Shukran ya bint (Thank you oh daughter)"I said smiling
"Lah shukra ala wajib (No thanks is necessary)"she assured
"I have to go.till I come around"he said getting up
" Okay Auwal.my regards to the family"I said,we shook hands
He smiled walking out
"Huwa hassanan ,ma ra itu ki? (He is good,what do you think?)"I asked
"Sahih (right)"she replied sadly
"Baba,limaza? (Why)"she asked nervously
"Limaza?(why?)"I asked
"Why can't we check on Malak's being?"she asked again
"Hal anti bi khayr?im lah? (Are you ok or not) no that's her punishment"I reminded her
"Azim! (Great)"she exclaimed and she angrily walked away

Malak's pov
"Malak,uncle Ali wants to speak to you later"Mother said
"I find his behaviour strange"Fareeda whispered
I nodded
After Isha prayer we all ate our dinner
"Go he is at the garden"Mother said
"Hope you are not doing some sort of match making?"Fareeda asked mother
"Shut up"I heard mother say
When I walked into the garden I saw him standing.
"Uncle Ali"I called
"Malak,sit "he said
We sat facing each other and I was really nervous maybe one of the twins told him about what I did
But they don't know where I lived
Maybe Fareed told them
"What am going to tell you is going to be very hard to process"he said softly
"Really?"I asked
"Just see it as a request"he added and I nodded
"I have a marriage proposal for you"he said
I got up and was about to leave,I refuse to marry a man that is old enough to be my father.
"Is not for me"he said
"God!I still love my wife and I am not that shameless"he immediately added
I stopped and looked at him
"Is for one of my sons"he informed
I gasped,even worst
"Uncle Ali I don't want to be disrespectful
You have played a big role in my life and I said i did do anything to repay you
But I'm not in a rush to marry now
Especially without family's knowledge"I explained
"Please Malak,repay me by getting married to my son for a short period of time.
Is just for him to be back to the right path
I promise you,you won't do anything against your wish
You will go to school,live a normal live
I will speak to your family"he pleaded
"There is no need to talk to my family,they are upset with me"I said sadly
"Think about it"he suggested
"Why me uncle Ali? "I asked
"Cause you are an angel,you are Malak
I will help you with divorce anytime he gets his sense back"he assured
"Sense back?"i asked
"Story for another day.just pay heed to my request"he said smiling
"I will think about it uncle and I will do ishtikharah"i said
"Ofcourse,when you are ready just call me"he said
"Thank you,May Allah bless you"he added
"Ameen"i replied
He walked away and I was left me with my thoughts
Do drama happen with people often or is just my life?
