Friday came in a flash
In fact, the whole week has been a flash
News had seem to spread about my incident and people came to see me everyday
I honestly didn't know I was that special
Even my aunties from my mom's side from kaduna that barely visit came
The last time time I talked to Umar was the day at the hospital
And well....my week had been ok
What I didn't know was what would happen today, it was Friday
I was supposed to be at his office
But he hasn't called me to tell me to come yet
And I knew the word 'maybe, maybe not' definitely meant something in Umar Kashim's case
Rabi'ah came everyday to show me her notes so I would know what I was missing
She said she was coming today after school
The injury on My foot was getting better Alhamdulillah
I stood up and I limped to the the dinning table where everyone was having breakfast
I greeted everyone and I sat down
I was almost done with my breakfast when Baba spoke
"Hameeda, meet me at the living room when you're done" he said and he stood up
I exchanged a look with Aunty and she gave me a nod of reassurance
I suddenly felt full so I pushed my plate away and I followed him to the living room
I went in with a salam and I sat down on the carpet
"I had a talk with you about two week ago" he said
I nodded
"I said you were getting married in three weeks" he said
I nodded again
"That means two weeks gone and one more left" he said
I froze
"But, since this happened to you I will give you one more week" he said
"Remember, I don't change my decision, so, nor you or Ruqqayah can stop me, do you understand? So save yourself trouble and stop telling her to talk to me" he said and he took his phone that suddenly started ringing and he answered it placing it on his ear
I took that as my sign to leave
I rushed out of the living room and into my room
I was telling myself not to cry but it seemed harder every second
My phone rang and it took me some seconds to realize it was in my pocket
I picked it up and I answered it
"Hello?" I asked with a shaky voice
"Come out, I'm outside" his deep voice said before he hung up
I took several deep breaths before I found an abaya and I put it on and I untied the veil on my head and I placed it on my head and wrapped it around my neck

عاطفية[UNDER EDITING] BASED ON A HAUSA LIFESTYLE. --- "Too bad you're mine and you have no choice but to stick with me" --- Umar Kashim is rich, and from how he is portrayed, arrogant too! Hameeda on the other hand is his opposite. Cheerful and well manne...
