His zawjati

PLEADING GUILTY.

Amiyrah's Pov:

Daddy held my hand quite tight not letting me get inside any further. His eyes were ragged with anger and he squeezed my hand even harder until I let out a groan. I had never seen him this angry as he was today. "How did you get here?" He questioned in a loud tone. Yet as stubborn and rude I was, I quickly thought I could throw the blames on the guy who I hoped for to be out there.

"Why don't you ask the guy who dropped me? He could provide you with of the answers to your questions huh?!." I responded in a  sharp angry tone, thinking that he will blow away the matter and let me in.

My eyes broadened as I hear him call the guard and asking in for the guy who was responsible for my situation. Holding on to my scarf very tight as my feet froze making them unable to move an inch from where I stood. I knew I was in deep trouble and had to pay for the consequences, just that I didn't know what the final result would be.

Minute later, I see the guy walking in from the entrance to the hallway. Sweat trickled down my forehead as my hands turning ice cold. I could feel my heartbeat in my mouth. Yet i stood there pretending that I cared less as I try and hear what daddy was about to tell the stranger who just walked in.

Eavesdropping to the conversation but nothing could be heard clearly, as they were quite a distance  from where I stood. A few minutes of struggling with not knowing what was going about, that's when I see daddy walking towards me. "Bismillah Bismillah" words pouring out of my mouth from desperation as he stands back to his position and announces my punishment.

"After having thought deeply in a short span of time, I've come to the conclusion of you getting married to the guy seated there called Ayaan. My jaws dropped wide open.

There is no way I would marry, not him especially. He looked decent and hunky but he definitely wasn't my type of a guy. " what a joke" I exclaimed as I clap my hands loudly. "THIS IS NOT A JOKE AMIYRAH. YOU HEARD ME LOUD AND CLEAR AND THIS IS MY FINAL DECISION OTHERWISE YOU'RE OUSTED FROM MY PROPERTY. !!!" He announced his decisions in a firm loud voice.

I definitely for once knew now there was no going back for me. No matter how much I pleaded, it would all go in vain. Unless the stranger Ayaan rejected his proposal, then I would have a say to refusing. "Fine! I don't need your property anyway!" Screaming as I bang my hand against the nearby wall.

"You do realise that means that you will also be ousted from my house promptly? And as per my understanding you currently are jobless and have no savings of your own!" He responded with a raised eyebrow and  hands wrapped resting on his stomach.

"Ugh!! Please daddy I promise not to repeat what I did please!" Putting up an innocent face as I try convincing him to let down with his decision, but nothing seemed to have worked with him this time round. I've always made mistakes and he was all forgiving and forgetting.

This particular moment things weren't the same anymore. There was something different about he him, he was more firm with his words and lenient.

There was pain hiding underneath his eyes which I couldn't figure out. "I'll let you know once the so called Ayaan has answered. Ask him first."

I cross my fingers as he walks back to Ayaan hoping that he would refuse daddy's proposal and that it would give me another chance to reform myself for a while.

I see tension building up between the two. Their mouths moving in a stressful gestures. Things didn't seem to be going according to my way, this was definitely the end of me. Tears roll over my eyes dripping all the way to my cheeks, as I see Ayaan making his way out of the house in a distress.

I start crying even louder, staring at dad with my almost red eyes as i run towards the room locking myself up. I pick up my phone dialing to any of my friends I knew of, but to my surprise everyone who seemed good to my face was there for my money and nothing more.

They all came up with an excuse or the other for not   keeping me at their place, be it for a while. Clenching my teeth as I formed my hand into a knot and banged it on the cupboard, throwing away my phone at the wall. I threw my body on the bed and covered my face with a pillow feeling the sadness leave my body from every part of it.

My reckless attitude and behaviour has lead me to this position, thinking to myself as I turn over facing up staring blankly onto the ceiling until heaviness hits my eyelids putting me to sleep.

~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~

Bright sun shining upon my sleepy face as I wake up realizing that the curtains were wide open the entire night. I pull myself up to a sitting position as my eyes traced towards the time. It was almost 7 in the morning and there was no way I was planning to  go to work today.

My eyes were puffed up with intense crying of the previous night, swollen and painful. My entire body felt paralyzed. There was no zeal of doing anything at all. The entire day went by lying in my bed, it was almost lunch hours when mom walked in, kissing on my forehead and pulling me into a tight hug.

Tears started forming in my eyes about to gush out like a heavy downpour, as I hold on to my mom even tighter pleading her to have a word with daddy. Convincing him to change his mind regarding the entire thing that happened. She stared at my face with sadness in her eyes.

"Amiyrah, I know what you are going through and you must be feeling that you're the one who's being done wrong to" pulling me away from her embracement as she holds my hands tangling her fingers with mine. "Now what i am about to tell you please listen to me carefully." I nod my head as she continues.

"Daddy has always forgiven you for every mistake you made, everytime compelling himself that you are still young and immature. But, after what you did yesterday has really affected him." She speaks as her hands now moving my hair away from my face tucking them behind my ear.

"He is suffering from cancer and this time it's on the last stage, he has no much time left to himself. And according to how you have been behaving, it has really been hard for him, but he had to make his decisions. He couldn't see you go astray after his demise and letting his company that he worked for real hard to fall. Everything you needed, you were given. All you're needs were fulfilled, now it's your turn to pay back to his favours and make him happy before he leaves us and never comes back again." Tears fall off her eyes as she starts sobbing.

"But mom, why didn't he tell me all that from before?" I speak as I sit there still not believing my ears. "Because he wanted you to reform yourself on your own and not by his illness. But it reached a point where things are getting slipped from his hands, and before they shatter, he is gathering up his all." Words leaving her mouth as she stands and pulls me up along with her. "Now let's go eat something." Smiling as she holds on to my shoulder as if she were my bestie taking me towards the dining table.

I was pampered just like I always were, She fed me well and took me out for a small shopping spree to make me cheer up.
