CHAPTER 12

You have never asked for anything that I didn't give and you lack nothing. You are my one and only daughter, my priceless jewel

It will take a person to kill me before hurting you.

So,for the first time I have a request, I just hope you can do it.

Daddy I promise to do anything you want because I know you will never wish me bad and you are my father.

Fatima my mentor happens to be an old politician Alhaji G. Kime,he is a kanuri from borno state. He has a wife that is shua Arab by tribe;hajiya batool noor. They have only one son who is currently in camp for NYSC.

His wedding is suppose to take place tomorrow but you know how people are. The family of the bride changed their mind at the die minute. Because the bride's father didn't get the post he planned to embarrass Alhaji G.

They called off the wedding today and Alhaji was touched by their action to the extent that he cried.

So he requested if I could give your hand in marriage because his family and friends are around for the wedding and he want to let the family of the bride know that they are loosing at the end.

Without thinking twice,I agreed and I will be happy if you accept the marriage. Fatima! You should know that I am where I am today because of him.

I was already in tears soaked in tears when he finished talking. I nodded and told him that I agreed because I can't say no. No! I can't say no.

"Daddy!I will definitely marry him and I promise to make proud of me"

He gave me a side hug and touched my head and prayed for me,may Allah bless you my dear daughter and I answered Ameen.

I left for my room not forgetting to shut his door close

I understand why mom was sad,but I never wanted to see her tears today all because of me. I wanted to pretend I am strong and I can withstand the shock but trust me I couldn't

Well,crying is an understatement. Ma had to sleep in my room because I eventually fall sick,so she took care of me through out the night

Ma I called her,she smiled and and touched me with her warm hand I never want to let go.

Why did dad made such decision when I am just 19 years old and I just started 200Level?

She sighed and said I hope everything will be alryt and may Allah bless your marriage. I know Allah will surely see you through sweety.

She made sure I slept like a princess before she slept near me. In the dawn she woke me up for subh prayer and we prayed together.

It was a short notice,so adamawa people took the first flight to abuja.

The wedding fatiha will be at gire so daddy and his friends left for gire.

Fatima bashir gire!is that you I asked my self. Well I developed a new habit of thinking. I went to have my bath which took longer than expected. Goggo dije (dad's sister)had to call my name before I came out.

"Fatima" goggo called and I answered. She continued "don't think too much"

She removed my scarf and said"you don't need to perm your hair but you should wash it and have a henna design done.

I didn't object but I actually, absolutely hate the idea.

Alhmdllh I finished my exams,so I updates.
