chapter 23
Third person's pov
"Noorie! Noorie! Are you there?" Asmau yelled,knocking on door.
"I don't think she is here." She mumbled under her breath.
"Goggo i have been knocking and no one is answering. I don't think she is in her room." Asmaus said,immediately she entered Goggo's room.
"Where could she be? Her phone is switched off. Did she perhaps tell you she is going anywhere?" Goggo asked,worriedly.
"No she didn't tell me anything like that. Maybe she is asleep. Don not worry,i will just go and sleep in my room." She assured.
"But why will she lock the door? I will go and see for myself."
"There is no need Goggo. I will just go to my room." She insisted.
Goggo sighed and said okay.
Asmau knows that something is wrong somewhere. She saw her earlier when she rushed out of the hall. "Maybe she had an argument with Affan. " She mumbled.
"Nana you never sleep?" Aisha,Asmau's cousin asked immediately she entered the room.
"I never sleep oo. Am sleeping here today." She replied her.
"Why?" Her cousin asked.
"Me and my room again. You are asking me stupid question. Abeg shift joor."
"Someone can not play with you." Her cousin Halima teased.
"Nana stand up let's gist. I don't feel like sleeping." Humaira her maternal cousin suggested.
"Alright go and call Noorie." Aisha said,referring to Halima.
"No there is no need." Asmau inteferred quickly. "I mean she is having headache so she is asleep. It won't be right to wake her up."
"Okay." They said in unison even though they didn't believe her.
............
"What happened to you Noorie?" Asmau gasped. "Why is the whole room scattered. Ya Allah,you are bleeding." She said and sat beside her taking a look at her hands that are bleeding. "Talk to me Noorie. What is wrong with you?" She asked,worriedly. "Noorie say something. Take a look at yourself. You look horrible." Asmau used the spare key to open the door and met Noorie in a horrible condition.
"He....he...is...getting....ma...ma..married. He can't do this to me Asmau. How....how....can he even think of getting married. He said he loved me. Is he deceiving me or what. I can't take this Asmau. I have to fight for our love. She said,sobbing profusely. "I don't care anymore. I...i...can't continue living like this. I have to make myself happy. I don't give a f*** about what anybody thinks. I will make sure i tell Goggo and Kaka about this." She said,wiping her tears.
"Calm down please. Do not do anything you will end up regretting. Never make a decision when angry. Please think about your decision again. Are you sure you want to this?" Asmau asked,worriedly. Only if she can do something about this matter. Seeing Noorie like this breaks her heart. She blinked back her tears and said "Please i want you to sleep over the matter. You should pray to Allah about it. Don't just make a decision like that. Please think about it again." Asmau beseeched.
"I don't care Asmau." She bellowed. "I don't fu***** care about making a decision without thinking. I have to make myself happy."she took in a deep breath and continued "look i have to start thinking about myself. I can't give up my own happiness for anything.
"I won't stop you but atleast don't say anything to them today. We still have visitors around." She explained.
"Asmau! I. Don't. Fucking. Care." She enunciated. She left the room angrily and bang the door.
"I don't even know what to do." Asmau murmured.
............
"You have to go and see her. I don't want you to argue with me. It's either you go and see her or forget about talking to me." Ammi threatened.
"I don't want to see her. You can go on with the wedding preparations. There is no need for me to see her." I don't know why Ammi is forcing me to go and see Nawal. I hate that girl. Her mere presence makes me feel nauseous. I hate that girl alot. I just feel like throwing up.
"You don't have to give me the go ahead. The wedding preparation is on full speed. Look just getout." Ammi said,exasperatedly.
"I...." my phones ringtone interrupted me. I checked the caller ID to see adda maryam's name. Why is she calling me?
"Assalamu'alikum adda"
"Wa'alaikum salam. Guess who is the latest mum in town" She screamed.
"Who?" I asked confused. It definitely not her.
"You are so boring. You can't even guess. Anyways i. Am. The. Latest. Mum. In. Town."
It took me a minute or two to understand what she said. "You have given birth?" I asked unsure.
"Yes i have given birth. You have a new niece." She squealed. "That what you always wanted anyways." She mumbled.
"Congratulations! Am so happy for you. But when did you give birth?" I don't think it possible for her to just give birth and call me. Her voice is very clear for someone that just gave birth.
"Thank you baby bro. I gave birth few minutes ago. I wanted to inform you myself so i stopped my husband from informing others."
"I feel so special right now. But aren't you in pains? You should be resting adda. Did you also stop your husband from calling when you were in labour? Why did you do that? You shouldn't stress yourself. Aren't you suppose to be resting? Which kind of doctor even allowed you....."
"Can you just keep shut. What is your problem? One question at a time. Do i even look like a baby to you. Mind you this isnt my first time of giving birth. I should have never even called you. Bye" she ended the call.
I guesss she is still having mood swings. Let me call her husband and confirm when they will be discharged. "Am i invisible or what?" Ammi asked,glaring at me. "You don't think it necessary to inform me that I have become a grandmother again. That's bad." She muttered,shaking her head. Even though Ammi is not on good terms with my sisters,she never let it affect her relationship with their children. She loves her grandchildren alot.
"Am so sorry Ammi. Adda maryam gave birth to a baby girl." I said,smilling.
"Alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah) i can't wait to see my granddaughter. I can tell she is cute just like me." Ammi winked. I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ammi can be very funny sometimes. "What is so funny?" She glared at me "you mean am not cute right? No problem." She mumbled.
"No Ammi you are very cute. You are not only cute but beautiful. How can i even say you are not cute?" I sneered.
"I wish i can go and see the baby." She murmured. Due to some culture,Ammi is not allowed to go and see the baby till after the naming ceremony. Adda maryam will be coming to out house to spend 40days or so after the naming ceremony. She needs to be well taken care of. How the hell did i even know all this? Well perks of growing up with three girls. "I will just tell her to send me the baby's picture. Let me call her"
"She isn't answering. Let me call her again." I nodded.
Adda maryam's hushand picked the call and informed Ammi that she is sleeping but will call back as soon as she wakes up. I will go and see her at their house when she gets discharged from the hospital. No i won't. The house will be filled up with people and i hate seeing many people. I will just wait for her to come here.
"You are still going to meet nawal. Do not think i forgot about it.
...........
"Are you going out?" I inquired from Aneesah. She is dressed up and it looks like she is going somewhere.
"Yes." She replied,curtly. Ever since our argument few weeks ago,Aneesah has been acting cold to me. I know i should have never mentioned anything about marriage to her. But i have to correct her whenever she is wrong. It is not ideal for her to keep living in our parent's house. I know better than to say anything about marriage to her again.
"Aneesah i am sorry. I have been apologising to you. When will you forgive me?" I inquired.
"If you don't have anything to say,please get out of my room. You can see i am going out."
"Am not happy. You know i get very sad if you treat me like this. I was only worried about you. I am sorry." I have been apologising to her since the day it happened. If i talk to her she just give me curt replies and its killing me. I can't continue like this. She has to forgive me whether she likes it or not.
"I have forgiven you." She mumbled. I didn't expect her to forgive me this early. The Aneesah i know takes ages for her to forgive someone. What changed?
"Thank you so much." I engulfed her into a hug. "I love you and i only want the best for you."
"I love you to twin. I missed you." She admitted.
"I miss you too."
"I....can we talk?" She asked nervously.
"Yes. What is it. You look nervous.
"Actually....i...do you remember Muhsin? She asked,fidgeting with her hands.
"Muhsin? The same Muhsin i know?" I asked,frowning.
"Yes. He apologised for everything he did and...." she trailed off.
"And?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"He....he...wants us to be back together." She replied.
"What did you say to him?" I asked,trying to keep calm.
"I...said okay"
Aneesah are you out of your senses?" I snapped. "Do you realise what Muhsin did to you? I can't believe this."I uttered,shaking my head. How can she forget about all he did to her so soon. Muhsin was the only guy Aneesah fell in love with and what did he do to her? He betrayed her by dating her bestfriend. Aneesah almost injured herself with crying. The betrayal was just too much for her. And he came back to her life from no where apologising to her. Her being the idiot she is agreed to be with him again.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked with glistening eyes. "I also need to get married Mahmud. I need to have a family of my own."
"Definitely not with that bast***. He has hurt you alot." I tried to reason with her.
"He apolgised for everything. He has truly changed. I...i still love him despite all he did. Just let me give it a trial. If it doesn't work out,i won't bother you. I had to tell you because you will definitely get angry if you hear about it. Please don't stop me from being with him. He has truly changed. I believe he has."
"What about your bestfriend?" I inquired.
"She broke up with him." She replied.
"Clean your tears. If you think he is good for you,then i have no problem with him. But mind you,if he ever hurts you i will deal with him. I will make sure i kill him with my hands."
"Trust me he won't hurt me. Thank you" she said,smilling.
"You are welcome." I forced a smile. Honestly i don't buy the idea of her and Muhsin being together again. I don't want a repeat of what happened before. I need to have a serious discussion with that Muhsin. He should not even try to mess with my twin.
Do you think Noorie will tell Goggo and Kaka about her feelings for Affan or not?
Who else loves Ammi's relationship with her step daughters children?
What do you think about Mahmud and Aneesah's relationship? Will it affect their spouses in future?
