MARRIED TO A STRANGER Episode 9

HMARRIED TO A STRANGER -(bani da zabi)  Episode 9
  
   ❣Phateemah Taheer ❣

I have always heard of the enthusiasm brides portray on their wedding day,the excitement, the thrill and the amusement of starting a new life,preferably with someone they have gotten to know over time and someone they want to spend the rest of their lives with,which is something I certain don't have....

Through out these eventful days of my wedding ceremony I have known little or no joy at all...I smile for the crowd,for Ra'is' family and mine and for the cameras,but Allah ya sani cikin raina I am not happy about the fact that i am getting married to someone I hardly know....and no its not about Mustapha....I am over him,or atleast i would like to think that way.

"Hubby....".....Meenal shouted....."Naam"....I replied looking pale....."What is wrong with you ne wai?You have been absent minded for the past 3days....ranar Kamu (bridal shower) you were AWOL.....yesterday dinner you were MIA....and today that is the day you get to go to your husband's house and you look completely out of this planet....."Meenal said and I broke into tears......

"Oh no Hubby dan Allah stop crying mana...this was your decision....I tired to talk you out of it everyday but your mind seemed made,and after getting to know Ra'is I realised this may not be a bad choice after all....please stop crying now....it will be OK"......Meenal said hugging me......

"Meenal ku shirya,the groom's Family is here "......My aunty dashed in and dashed out....Meenal escorted me to my dad's parlor where I met both my parents looking sad and happy and uneasy all at the same time...My dad talked to me about being patient and obedient to my husband and my mum kept talking about the things as my dad only amidst tears...I hugged both my parents and walked out to where Meenal was standing.

Meenal sat with me along side My aunties and were driven straight to Ra'is' parents house where I greeted my in-laws before I was finally taken to my matrimonial home.

The house is a four bedroom duplex painted in Ash and white....I couldn't see clearly most of the furnitures(because of the Alkebba covering my face),even though i personally chose them my self but don't know if they fit perfectly because I made sure I chose everything to my taste,atleast if I can't have a fairy-tale wedding filled with smiles and happiness, than I should atleast have a perfect interior of my matrimonial home...

I was led to a room,which I suppose is my room because I chose white royal bed for my room and Ash for Ra'is'.....Thankfully the room was spacious enough to accommodate everything....the bed,the cupboard, the large mirror,the bedside drawer and lamps,my shoes and bag racks,16 boxes of lefe and other stuffs....
"Toh Hubby Allah ya bata Zaman lafiya"......Most of the people said and left leaving me alone with Meenal and few of my other friends from school.

I uncovered my face immediately my family,and Ra'is' family left,leaving me alone with my friends....."Hubby amarya".....Meenal teased....."Kema ae Amaryar ce".....I teased back......"Nooo ni ae atleast i have been married for a week now".....Meenal bluffed back....."Dame kwado yafi gaya".....I teased her again....."Hahahhhhahaha wallahi with a lot of things".....Meenal said giving me a wink and we all laughed....."Enough with your jokes now,the groom and his friends are here"....
Amira said to Meenal and i....I felt a certain heaviness in my chest all of a sudden...I am feeling too anxious now..."Ango kasha kamshi"...... Meenal teased....."Meenaliiii....kin fara...On the day of the bridal shower you teased me so hard even though that was the first day we met,yesterday mah haka and today again....My wife is lucky to have a lively best friend gaskiya".....Ra'is teased and they all laughed...

"A Toh...tell her I am a rare gem".....Meenal teased back...."Meenal,lets go dare yayi...it's 9pm...kin bar your husband a gida kinzo kina zaulaya"...... Amira said and we all laughed...."Anyways Ra'is please be patient and do take care of my friend...I don't know you well enough,but these few days have made me realize how lucky my friend is and how amazing you are....please ka kula da ita"......Meenal said in a sweet voice and Ra'is nodded with a smile..

Meenal,Amira,my other friends and Ra'is' friends left soon after....leaving Me alone with Ra'is....my husband....my stranger....
