The Acceptance

Chapter 27

"Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night"-Dave Barry

Karima's new home is located in unguwan rimi, kaduna. It's a very beautiful and modern bungalow building, it has two living rooms, 4 bedrooms each with a toilet, a well equipped kitchen, a gazebo and a parking space. The furniture, interior designs and paint looked all great. When we finished surveying the whole house, we got ready to leave only to be stopped by karima

" You guys should please spend the night here, don't leave me alone...you can go tomorrow please"she cried

"Haba amarya, abdallah would soon be here...so please calm down because we are not leaving you all alone...Laila tried calming her down but she continued sobbing

I couldn't even talk because I didn't want my own tears to fall, I've known karima for a very long time....but marriage has now separated us, I would surely miss all the beautiful memories we shared together especially when coming back from school in Zara's car. But I'm still glad we are still in the same school and town, only that she'll be going to school from her home.

It was getting very late(10:50pm), so we all hugged and wished her a wonderful blessed marriage and went out, we met abdallah and his friend coming in...so he told his friend to kindly drop us home because it was dark. We bid him goodnight and left. His friend whom we found out his name was Sadiq dropped me first, I bid the 3 girls goodbye and entered home. I already informed mama I'll been coming back home immediately after the bride has been conveyed to her home. I saw Abbu, mama and ya Ali in the parlour watching television, I said my Salam and jumped on abbu

"Abbu I missed you so much" I said pecking his cheek

"Oh it's now that you remember your Abbu right?you didn't call me since on Friday..only text messages" Abbu said frowning a little

"No Abbu, you know how wedding celebrations are .....I've been so occupied wallahi... I am so sorry I apologized

"But even today you called your mother Abbu complained again

"Abbu she called me ...ko mama?
I winked at mama hoping she would say yes

"You didn't even acknowledge my presence when you entered, you only saw your Abbu...mama complained too

"Ohh my Allah, haba mama..you people should stop complaining, I missed you all
And I hugged her too

"Well, we also missed you but just a little, mama said and I laughed

"I didn't miss you at all...ya Ali spoke for the first time while I just rolled my eyes I am back

I asked mama where Adil was and she told me he had gone to bed, I sat near ya Ali and told them everything that happened during the wedding, they all wished my bestfriend a happy married life and I replied with an ameen. I wasn't hungry but I was damn tired, I needed my bed right away...so I quickly grabbed my bag and went to my room...oh my God how I missed my room, my lovely and always inviting bed, my favorite teddy bear..... I took a quick shower, rummaged through my closet and brought out a pink knee length sleeping dress. I prayed and jumped on my bed.

My mind went back to the wedding activities, so this would also happen to me in the next four months.. family and friends would all come to celebrate with me? Then I would be taken away from Abbu mama, ya Ali and adil? But how can I even leave them and go into another family to start a new life....can I really do this?  But it's bilaal you are getting married to, so don't panic ...stop all these foolish thinking" my subconscious warned me. My phone instantly rang bringing me out of my reverie, I checked the called saw it was Zara
