Chapter 2: The Shocking News

Alhamudullilah it is a new day hope it will be a happy day for me. I thank Allah for this day, you may never know if you will die during your sleep

I went downstairs for my lunch. Today I don't have to go to University or do chores or do anything i was in my room prayed my Fajr plus Dhuhur in my room. I had my breakfast in my room too.

As always at this time both my brother and dad, they are at their work place and my mom with her friends.

But I was surprised to see my brother in the living room and my mom in the kitchen and my dad outside the garden reading some newspaper I guess.Today must be a holiday I thought.

"Hey bro why are you at home you workaholic! Did dad gave you a holiday or my dad gave everyone a holiday because I can see him sitting in the garden outside." my dad has a company hence after my brother finished his studies he started to work in our dad's company but most colleagues doesn't know that he is their boss son he wants to show people that he doesn't depend on his dad but himself.

"Hi my lil baby sis , how are you I can see sleeping too much can make you look ugly, good you should practice sleeping. And I don't know dad said everyone should be at home I think he wants to say something and am not workaholic I just love my job."

I just ignored the way he called me "What kind of news, I don't like news when it concerns my dad. Do you know what he wants to say ?"

"No I don't know but if I may guess maybe your wedding." he laughed. He loves to tease me he knows I don't want to marry now or ever marriage and I are rivals.

"Maybe yours, you may never know."

I went to the kitchen to see if there is food.

"Mother السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته how are you. Is there food am hungry?"

"Oh my dear you are awake. Yes there is food. I want to talk to you but first you should eat."

"Ok"

After I finished eating my mother sat with me. I don't like when my mom says let's have a talk.

"Yesterday I talk you about cooking and maybe having family in your future. Now what am going to say don't be angry listen to me in a calm mind."

"Ok" I don't like where this talking is heading.

"Me too I was shocked when your father told me this but my dear he is your father he loves and he thinks about your future so don't overthink that your father hates you. Do you remember when you were in your first year in university an uncle came, your father's friend do you remember?"

"Yes I do remember." that uncle left me a big impression to me. They way he talks that day I wished he was my father. He has four girls and two boys but he loves his girls now they work. Whereas my dad he doesn't like me to work even my mom doesn't work.

"I didn't know why that day he came, I was thinking that how comes this man came. He was a busy man, has many business to run, has billions of money in his bank. I know we also have billions of money but in level maybe he is kind of richer than us. So what I want to say is your father never told me he came here because of you. He wants you to marry his eldest son."

When my mother was talking I predicted maybe my brother what he said may come true but I said maybe that can't happen but when she finished her last sentence, my instinct became correct. A man who I was happy with and prayed to Allah that my dad becomes like him now I don't want it ,this is worse than that.

"And why didn't dad told us why he came here first. Maybe my mind would me ready by then. We would chat, know each other if we couldn't understand each other then this things may not happen. I don't know who he is, what he is like, how dis dad expect..."

I couldn't find my word. I was angry at my father, even if he didn't want me to know the truth he could have told mother. I know my mother, she knows me the best she is like friend rather than just my mother she wouldn't agree this thing because she know what I want and I don't want marriage now. I didn't reach where am proud of myself.
