"no, but Abbah I already told you I don't like the girl" usman said

"Kai! when did you grow wings that you'll be talking back at me with no respect and you even have the guts to bring in this spoilt brat into my house!" his father yelled

Wait now I'm confused, the girl, spoilt brat and everything I just don't understand, I looked at usman for explanation but he looked away.

"please abban usman leave this boy alone, he's grown up and capable of making decisions himself" usman's mom said

"I told you to stay out of this you're not involved in this matter" he said and left

I looked at usman for explanation but he still didn't met my gaze. the mom looked at me and said

"my daughter don't worry he's just stressed out ne" I gave her a weak smile and nodded my head signaling ok, but deep down I'm not ok.

I needed to know what was actually going on.

We talked about so many things, she told me how usman loves toasted bread with jam and how stubborn he was "Wlhi I'm telling you baya gin magana ( he's very stubborn)" she said and I giggled

Tbh my mind was separated, everything he's dad said was just circulating through my brain. Couple of hours later usman came in

"mama I think it's getting late and it's time for Amal to go home" he said

"Toh my daughter till another time again, make sure you extend my greetings to everyone at home" she said while hugging me God her perfume hitting my nose

"in sha Allah, I will" I said then smiled before leaving

We headed straight to the car we stayed in silence for about two minutes before driving off

The whole ride was in silence, minutes later we arrived at our gate, I was about to get down when usman spoke up

"listen, I'm sorry I kept thing from you, I should have told you everything earlier but I didn't want to make you feel bad or hurt your feelings or make you feel unwelcomed, but I want you to know that my mom loves you so much and I love you too and that's what matters, I don't know what happened but my dad has been acting weird recently, but I'm so so sorry for the way he treated you and the names he called you I swear you deserve better than this" he said

All that explanation didn't give me the answer to my question

"what about the girl he made mention of, who is she" I asked looking at him

"my dad wants me to marry he's best friends daughter, which he has already fixed the date but I'm sorry I promise you no matter what I'll marry you" he said as he looked at me with his red eyes

I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to start, I just nodded my head and went off.

I went straight to my room as I fell to the ground, I wanted to cry but I got no tears, I was beyond heartbroken, it feels like my world has just shattered, I wanted the ground to swallow me.

What have I done to this man that makes him hate me this much, that he has to ruin my peaceful relationship.

His words ringing in my ear as more tears flow. my mom has been knocking on the door but even to stand up aches my heart.

"Amal can you open this door for my sake please" my mom said

I quietly stood up and opened it, she immediately hugged me, it was as if I was waiting for someone to hug me, more pain, more tears, more disappointment, more tension added.

"Amal, you have to stop crying cuz it won't help your situation currently, instead have faith and pray for ease" she said while cleaning my tears

I nodded then hugged her tightly before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

I felt relieved but I still wanted the hot water to keep hitting my skin, my tears kept running down, it really hurts. everything feels like a knockout punch.

I suddenly felt a slight headache then dizziness covered me and the last thing I did was scream.
