Zarah's revenge

Chapter 1

They say life is not a bed of roses I never believed that until after the death of my father 

12 years ago

My mom sent me to get some stuff from the store close to our new house, I was walking past a group of men when I noticed one of them was following me but I just decided to ignore thinking that he would go away but I was completely wrong for he kept on following me.

Then I started running as fast as my legs could take me but it seemed useless cause he also started following me. And in no time I was home.

But what I met was very weird my mom and my two siblings were outside the house, people gathered around and all our clothing's were also all over the ground. What's going on?. As I moved closer our landlord was with some men and they were too busy throwing all our stuffs outside that they didn't notice me. 

"What's going on?" I asked no one in particular and quickly went to my mom who was trying to pack our clothes from the floor and helped her before going forward to confront our landlord.

"What are you doing?" I asked trying to sound as nice as possible,"what does it look like am doing" he retorted sarcasm evident from what he said.

"You can't do this to us, what did we do wrong?. As I can recall we've paid all our rents and house bills, in fact we payed in advance just to be able to avoid this" I used my hands gesturing to what he was doing 

"I am the owner of the house right? So that means I can do whatever I want to do and whenever I want to,and about your money don't worry I'll pay you back but just pack your things and leave my house this instance"

I could sense something fishy was happening but I ignored. Could it be that my uncle...... No its not possible,I mean we've done everything he's asked of us then why was he doing this to us? Could it be that he hates us so much. So I resorted to what I knew might help us which was begging.

"Please Mr danjuma don't do this to us, we have no where to go to and we have no one to help us please I beg you to reconsider. Am sure whatever made you change your mind isn't really worth it but please don't throw us out"

"What? Did you just say it isn't worth it? Well my dear I'll have you know that it is worth it and even far better than you staying in my house, so please just do as I say and leave" I begged further but he just wouldn't budge at the end we left his house for him and he give us the money but it wasn't enough to rent another house. 

So that night my family and I slept in a neighbour's barn and the next day we began our hunt for a new house.

Present

Zara

"Zarah are you even listening to me" oh God this is the third time I've been zoning out today. That was my best friend and also my personal assistant humairah she was discussing our plans for my wedding.

Yeah you heard right am getting married to my cousin yes you heard me right again. See this is part of my plans to get back at my family but I can't tell the details so....

"Oh sorry humairah I wasn't really paying attention so could you please start again" I said to her with pleading eyes while she kept glaring at me.

"Oh zarah what would I do with you. Ya know since you decided to get married you've been zoning out alot. I don't know if its the guy or the wedding jitters... But whatever it is you've gotta stop zoning out cause its really annoying" she said almost in one breath.

And I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous she looked but it only annoyed her the more cause she kept glaring at me and i kept quiet instantly.

"Am being serious here zarah you've gotta stop". "Okay okay I'll stop I promise.

"Better" she said while rolling her eyes at me. Gosh when you've got a friend like humairah then you sure won't get bored.

"Anyways as I was saying. We are going to get the caterers from Kaduna to arrive earlier than we told them to" 

And she kept Talking till it was closing time. We said our goodbyes and I hoped into my new Mercedes dropping my phone on the other chair before Roaring the car back to life.

While on my way home khalifa called me up (in case your wondering who khalifa is then his my fiancé) my cousin and also my ticket to getting revenge from my family.

I picked the phone and put it on speaker " hello there beautiful, what ya doing" I tried as much as possible not to roll my eyes at him even though he couldn't see me.

"Oh nothing much I was just leaving the office. So do have anything for me" " I could hear him chuckle from the other side 

"Oh nothing much I just wanted to hear the sweet voice of my wife to be" " you know we still have like 2 weeks to the wedding right" 

"Yeah I know and I cannot wait to have you all to myself " "wow what a shameless boyfriend I have"

"Okay could you get anymore dramatic" . " you have no idea" I mumbled "what was that" 

"Nothing I was just wondering how someone as awesome as you ended up with someone like me"

"And what's that supposed to mean?" "I mean come on we all know am the least person who knows how to have fun " 

"Dont stress yourself about it am sure I'll rub off on you when we get married"

"Sure you will. Anyways I'll call you later am about to get home and you know mommy she'll start teasing me" 

"Okay talk to you later then. I love you"

"Bye" one thing about me is that I never seem to reciprocate his feelings and to be honest I don't love him am just doing this to get back at all of them for what they did to me and my siblings.

As I reached home the gate was opened for me and I entered I packed the car and went into the house. As I entered the sweet smell of cinnamon rolls hit my nostrils and I couldn't help but wander straight to the kitchen.

"Mommy am home" I shouted like a 2 year old whose just coming back from school.

"Kai zarah sai kace wata karamar yarinya. Instead of you to say your salam your shouting Like a child"

"But mommy am I not a child at least am still your child aren't I ". 

"Yeah but you'll be someone else's very soon" here comes the talk I always dread when am with mommy 

"Mommy can you please not bring it up right now"

"And why shouldn't I?" I decided to leave the kitchen not wanting to prolong the discussion anymore 

I went straight to my room dropped my bag, and hit the shower after about twelve minutes I came out and wore my pajamas ready to pray Isha prayer . 

After my isha prayer,I said my night azkar hopped onto bed and went into a deep slumber hoping by tomorrow I have time to go meet some of our clients from India.
