Malak's pov
I can't believe it's been twenty eight days
Today is the twenty-nineth day
I called home on the first day Baba picked but I did all the talking
Also on the tenth and twenth but Inna picked and she told me everything is alright and she can wait for me to visit her with my husband.
Uncle Ali and the twins have been doing iftar with us but Kamal isn't always around.
Kamil is the perfect gentle man and he is very funny but Kamal will never change well he pretends to be good infront of mother but once we are alone,we insult each other.
I miss my family so much
If I was home by now Inna is designing our hands and legs with red natural henna.
Yusra will be excited on how eid is in one or two days
Zaina will be ranting at the tailor for not doing the design she told him to.
I can't believe I'm getting married to that stupid Dr Kamal.
I told them I don't want any occasion and thankful Kamal agreed.
So its just wedding fatiha
Then family reception
I hope my future husband will understand.
I didn't tell any of my friends in school,I don't think it's worth informing.
I didn't realise the time I started crying
"Malak,are you ok?"Fareeda asked immediately after noticing me.
I couldn't speak,I am a bad daughter
A bad sister
She got up and left
Few minutes later the door opened and I found Mother and Fareeda looking at me.
I immediately wiped my tears
"Malak,if there is anything disturbing you.I am here"Mother assured
"Don't keep it inside"Fareeda added
"Yes"I said softly
She came forward and hugged me,i hugged her back and started crying
"I just miss home"I sobbed
She stroked my back softly
"You are going to be alright.trust me,you can go visit them during break"Mother suggested
"Yes,Malak.please don't cry"Fareeda agreed
"And I'm going to miss this house"i added
"Well,Kamal can drop you by any time"Mother said softly
"I'm going to miss you more Malak"Fareeda said
"Don't cry,it's not even the wedding day yet.
Hope you are not doing it against your wish"Mother said
I shook my head,I wanted to help Uncle Ali.he is part of the people that made my dream come true.
I pulled out of the hug
"Mother!we are back from prayer.time for Iftar"Fareed shouted impatiently from the living room
We laughed as we walked out.
"Kamal is not around today also"he added
"Its okay"I said
You don't know how happy that sentence made me
************************
Eid day
Well this year fasting was twenty nine.
And today is Eid.
This morning new set of clothes came in for me
I told mother it was not needed but she insisted
After the males came back from the praying ground.
I couldn't go because I was on my period and I felt akward even though they said one can go
Fareeda also so we helped Mother with the house help,Anna in the kitchen.
"Here Malak"Father handed me a small bag
"Thank you father,jazakallah khairan(May Allah reward you with goodness)"I said smiling
"Open it"he urged
I opened it and found a new phone called
IPHONE 5
"really?thank you"I said excitedly
"I won't allow my daughter to leave without a phone.
You are really an angel
You coming to this house has changed Fareeda into a better woman
There is sim card and our numbers"he informed
"But I don't know how to use it"I said honestly
"Don't worry I will teach you"Fareeda spoke
"Okay"I said
"Go get ready.we are snapping family pictures"Father said excitedly
"Okay"I said and excitedly left to the room to get ready
Few hours later
we were gathered in the living room.
"Kamal you are one lucky guy"I heard Yusuf say to Kamal
"Shut up"Kamal grumbled
Yeah he hates hearing people speak good about me.
"Barka da Sallah"I greeted uncle Ali,Kamil and Hashim
"Thank you,I see you are learning hausa"Uncle Ali said
"Thank you,sister.you look good"Kamil said with his thumb up
"Purple really fits you"Hashim said smiling
"Thank you"I said smiling ignoring Kamal and Yusuf
"Our Amarya"Yusuf called
"The wedding is tomorrow Yusuf"Kamal corrected
"What's the difference?"Yusuf asked
"Tell him ooo"Kamil said looking at Kamal
"There is ooo"Kamal said looking at me and I glared at him
"Let's quickly snap then we eat"Father announced
"Come on ,mai hoto(photographer)give us quick snap"Fareed said
"I stand next to my husband
Ali can stand next to you three men
Fareeda stands with Fareed
and Malak with Kamal"Mother explained the arrangement
"Why can't I stand next to Fareeda?"Hashim asked shyly and Fareeda nodded
"Your wedding is in like three months"Father replied
"Why am I standing next to Kamal?"I asked sadly walking towards him
"Take it as pre wedding picture"Fareeda replied
"Ooo ni Furairah(oh me Furairah),everyone to your places!"Mother shouted
"Now!"she added
I stood next to Kamal and the photographer said he stood put his arm around my waist.
"You must be enjoying this"he whispered to me
"No,you are the one enjoying it"I corrected with a whisper
We smiled and he snapped immediately
Mother liked it so there was no need for another one.
But the strange thing is that why is this tall for nothing man holding my waist.
Fareeda kept giving me a smug look.I careful pinched him and he removed his hand.
"Your waist is too small,I forgot"he said angrily rubbing his hand
"Don't worry this is the last time you are touching me"I assured glaring at him
He scoffed
"Let's go eat"Mother said happily
