The Life Of Aishah?

?30?

"I know you're not happy"I found myself whispering feeling a throbbing pain in my heart

"What choice do I have?"she said looking up at me smiling,I wanted to hug her whispering in her ear that everything is fine,I kicked against it and lean giving her a simple kiss in the lips

"Can you promise me something?"I asked

"What?"she asked with her face looking confusing

"Promise me you will always understand,you will always trust me and every decision I make,and most importantly stay clear from Halimat,I know it's not easy sharing thesame house with her,but you have to please don't let her get to you"I said praying earnestly she follows what I say

"This is too much"she said chuckling dryly like she doesn't like what I said,neither do I like what's going on "I will try my best"

"Not your best Aishah,I want a promise from you,I promise you this won't go on forever"I say trying to believe myself too, trying to promise myself to make this promises come true

"Yes,I promise to trust you in every decision you make"she said smiling and I felt relieved

"I love you"I found myself pouring out my inner feeling

"I love you"she repeated,I look into her eyes and all I could see is honesty,my mind calm down sure enough she reciprocate the feelings I had for her

She didn't left immediately but helped me get ready,my heart yearn more for her,for her selflessness and I couldn't help but try to let her know how much she means to me by showering her with lots of loves and comments

I left the house earlier than her because I needed to be present for the wedding Niqqah,I climbed into the passenger seat of my car as Habeeb turned to look at me pitifully,he was the best man of the day because Abubakar is currently out of the city and he knew everything that's going on

"Don't give me that look please it makes me look more pathetic"I said groaning shoving him away

"Love sucks right?"he said shaking his head absentmindedly while I only gulped looking away in the window

He ignited the car engine roaring the car to life as he drive out of the compound

Love sucks right

I found myself thinking about what Habeeb said and I couldn't help but agree to it,I wondered how I fell for Aishah and how deep it has gotten

Love just happens

I concluded drifting my mind back to the problem I'm currently in

"How sure am I that Halimat won't try hurting Aishah when they live in thesame roof and you know I'm not always around?"I asked my friend

"Well I can't say but I pray she doesn't,what plans have you sketched out so far?"

"Non"I said rubbing my face tiredly feeling like punching anything available

"Don't get yourself riled up,you will surely come up with a plan soon I believe"he said with determination

"I hope"I muttered slowly drifting back to silence

The car stopped at the front of the mosque and I felt like running away but I knew better,I rather face my problems than to run away from them

I stepped out of the car walking slowly to the mosque while Habeeb gave me an encouraging smile which I found hard to return
