Chapter 64: Chapter 64

AMEERA's pov

"I'm so sorry, Ameera. Please forgive me. I'm ashamed of myself. I didn't mean to hurt you " sadiya begged with tears pooling down her face

I sighed from where I was sitting " please get up Sadiya. God bear me witness, I have forgiven you. I hold no grudges against you wallah. We were all deceived by the devil and I pray that such will never happen again"

" you really are a good person with a heart of gold and I'm forever going to regret ever betraying you. You were my one true friend and I didn't even once thought of that" her cries increases again.

Sadiya showed up unexpectedly at my parents door step seeking to see me which led for the countless begging right now . I've already forgiven her since when I found out about it.

As you all know,now I live with my parents since when I got discharged. I'm never going to forget his face as I stood  my ground that I want to stay with my parent, he look hurt.

But it isn't my fault, I have all the right to behave like that. If he had trusted me all that has happened wouldn't have happened. But I won't deny the fact that I miss him.

The first week I was discharged, he always make sure to come to my parents house to check on me even when I insisted that he shouldn't come. I got tired of his everyday visit which was why I confronted him with it, I told him that I can't think whenever he is around.I made him understood that I needed  time to think without him always been there all the time. That was how he stopped visiting.

But now, I wish he hadn't stop.

" are you alright, ameera" Sadiya's voice brought me out of my thoughts

I have forgotten that she was even here.

" of course I'm alright. "

" don't lie to me Ameera. Don't forget that I know you and I know that you were thinking about my brother "

" I don't know what you're talking about, sadiya"

She smiled teasingly " I know you won't agree. But I want you to know that yaya loves you so much. I wish you had seen how thin and unkempt he was before mom went to live with him. He always cry himself to bed every blessed day. I'm not telling you this so you could go back to him, I'm only telling you so you'll know that yaya love you so much and he is loosing himself with you far from him"

Ya Allah

" I don't know what you want me to do, Sadiya. I still need time"

" You can take all the time you need, Ameera. I'm always by your side"

" Thanks for understanding "

Sadiya and I continue gisting and she left few minutes later.

Laying on my bed with my head on the head board, I kept thinking of what Sadiya had said. Is amir really not taking care of himself?

Should I forgive him already?

" don't think too much my dear" I didn't even know when mama came in. She kept the juice she brought for me on the table and sad close to me on the bed.

Since I start living with them in there three bedroom house which was built by my elder brother Ahmad, Mama had always tried  talking some sense into me about  going back to my husband house. I tried making her see reasons on how I was treated by Amir ,all she keep saying is that ' Ameera, always learn to forgive. No one is above mistakes. Amir was used by the devil and I know deep in my heart that he loves you so much and he is now regretting whatever it is he has done to you. Please think about it and I understand where you're coming from my dear. I promise not to push you hard on this matter again"

Since then she has never brought the matter up again. Now that she caught me thinking, I know she is going to bring it up.

" dear, what are you thinking about?

" it's nothing Mama "

" don't lie to me young lady. Don't forget that I'm your mother and I know when you're bothered by something"

I couldn't hold it anymore so I told her all that Sadiya had told me about Amir.

" so, what have you decided? " Mama asked

" I don't even know, Mama. Please tell me what to do"

Mama held my face " dear, you alone can decide what's best for you. But if you leave it to me,I will advice you to go back to your husband for the sake of your unborn children. No mother would wish for her children to have a saperated parent"

" but mama I can't just go to his house like that. He should be the one to come fetch me himself"

" of cou--

We were interrupted by the door bell.

" let me check who that is" I said as I went to open the door with mama trailing behind..

the door bell rang again by the time I reach the sitting room. I quickly open the door and the sight I was met with wasn't the one I had expected.

It was amir standing with a bouquet of flowers looking devilishly handsome as always.

" Amir? " I breathlessly let out

" Yes love, it's me in the flesh " he winked

" What are you doing here? "

" At least let me in"

" No you aren't allowed to"

" Young lady let him in. Who told you it's you he came to see" mama scolded as she pushed me out of the way

" thank you mama" he said with a smile as he hand her the bouquet of flower

I felt jealous. And here I thought, he came to see me with a bouquet of flowers

" Thank you my son. Some people are already jealous of me" she teased and that person she was talking  about was definitely me.

They both walk to sit down leaving a wide mouth agape me by the door. He even have the guts to chuckle, how dear him.

I close the door with a loud bang and storm to my room. I kept pacing round the room thinking about what game Amir and mama were playing at.

I couldn't take it anymore thus I went to eavesdrop on their conversation. They didn't see me from where I was hiding..

" I was thinking of taking a new wife"

" that's a good idea son. I think it high time you get a new bride since the first refused to come back"

What!!?  A bride?

I'm never gonna allow it, never. I fumed as I came out of my hiding place with a mop in hand to confront the disgusting man in the sitting room.

How can he take a new bride when I'm still his wife...

But you refuse to go back... My subconscious said

Shut up... I mentally shouted at the voice in my head.

"  how dare you suggest of such nonsense " I shouted startled the two of them

I walk to my target as I began to hit him with the mop in my hand.

" how dare you, you disgusting piece of paper, what gave you the right when you're still married to me" which each word I said, I kept hitting him.

" calm down woman" Amir said as he held my two hands

" why will you think of something like that and you said you love me" I said when I finally calmed down

" Why do you find fun in hurting me, Amir. Why?"

Mama was busy laughing . How can she be laughing over this matter?

" I think I should leave the two of you alone. Enjoy your talk" said mama with a smile and she left for her room.

He sat me down on the chair and also sat much closer to me.

" are you calm now? " he asked

" yes"

" Good. Firstly,I'll like to apologize for what you heard about the new bride thing"

" so it is true then? "

His eyes widen " No no, it isn't true. It just a plan mama and I set to make you jealous and I think it worked " he end with a smirk

" hey" I hit his hand. At least  now I'm happy

" I'm sorry love"

I pouted. He need to beg more on his kneel coz I'm not just going to forgive him just like that.

" sweetheart? Are you listening? " he tried again. I still didn't  answer.

He noticed that I'm not ready to listen to him so he went down on his knees and made a heart shape with his hand. He look so charming right now, but I'm not going to tell him that.

Still on his knees " I'm sorry love for all that I've done to you. If I have to be on my knees till eternity for you to forgive me, then I'm ready to do that coz to me the world is you and you are my world, love. Please don't say no to me again, I want to take you home with me, our home. "

I don't even know what to say. This man can be so charming with his words.

He saw my hesitant so he held my hands in his. " please give us a chance and I promise, you will never regret it. Please babe"

" please don't cry" he clean the threatening tears that fell on my face.

" I just don't know what to say to you, Amir. I don't know if I can trust you again. I'm scared of letting history repeats itself. "

" please don't be, we will fight it together. Just agree with me on this"

Should I?  Or not?

" please "

" I.. I.. Yes" I stammered

I pray I made the right choice. Help me ya Allah.

" yes? "   I nodded

" yes, I want to go home with you"

He jump on his feet  looking so happy . I've never seen him looking happy like this.

" what is the happiness about. Did she agree ?" asked mama as she rushed to the the sitting room

" yes mama, she did" Amir said excitedly

" May Allah bless your home. I'm happy for the both of you"

" Thank you mama" we answered at the same  time.

" but.. " I said

They look at me puzzled .

" I've a confession to make" I said

" about what , dear" a confused mama asked. Amir too wore a confused face.

" I'll like to invite Amir's parents and Aisha's parents over"

" why,love"

" when they get here you'll all know my reasons "

***

" We are sorry for what we've done. Please forgive us"

I apologize on my knees. Aisha is also close to me as we beg for their forgiveness. If you're wondering what the begging was all about, I told them about the plan Aisha and I made just for her  to escape marrying Amir and which led me to be his wife.

What surprises me right now is the look on their face, they weren't angry. In fact they were just surprised and finally smile over it.

"Dear, we are not angry with you infact I've learnt a lesson or two. I learnt that I shouldn't have force a marriage upon Aisha" Aisha's father said.

" same with me, even if Amir's marriage with Ameera worked out well although they still had their flaws , I still shouldn't have force a marriage on him" said Amir's father also.

My parents weren't happy about the plan of a thing but they later believed that it was meant to happen. Amir and I were meant to be. My handsome husband was busy smiling at me from where he was sat, he kept making a heart shape at me and me being me was just blushing from where I was sitting.

He is my home.
