Mine

Chapter 26

Today's Friday

And to be honest I didn't even know what to do

I couldn't even get sleep

I was nervous about the wedding, I didn't know how to face Umar, and the last but not the least I'll be leaving my house to go live with Umar

The last time I spoke to him was in the car and I don't even know how to feel about that

I slept by about 2 am

And when I finally got to rest my eyes I was woken up at 5 am

The house hasn't been the same since day before yesterday

When I came back from Umar's house on Wednesday evening, after my crying I fell asleep only to be woken up by Magrib time to see the house filled with my relatives

They increased yesterday and some were even coming today

Aunty came into my room at 5 am to give me 'The Talk'

It was literally all she'll usually tell me, but this time she made me cry

I was planning on not crying but it seemed like that didn't

She kept on repeating that I had to be patient

I think I'll have that in my mind for the rest of my life because of how many times she repeated it

She left by around quarter to six o'clock, we didn't even realize we were late for fajr until Rumaisa came in

When she left I entered the toilet and I performed ablution before I came out and I prayed

I prayed to Allah for guidance as I started this new phase in my life

I stood up after I finished praying and the door opened

I turned to see Ya Abdul

I smiled at him as he sat down on my bed

I walked and I sat down beside him

"So...you're really getting married today" he said

"I know right" I whispered

"How do you feel?" He asked me

"I feel nervous" I sincerely said

"Why?" He dumbly asked

I turned and a gave him a weird look "well excuse me weirdo, I'm pretty sure that's how brides are supposed to feel"

He shrugged and he squinted his eyes at me "why do you look..fresh?"

I chuckled "Ouch, I did dilke yesterday, and the woman is coming again by 8" 

He gave me a weird look "what the hell is that?"

"Just..never mind" I said

I looked down at my hands that were beautifully designed with henna which Aunty and Rabi'ah forced me to do yesterday
