I didn't expect that she would invite me to her house earlier like this. Even though our love story had filled the on campus like a wild fire. But I had to go because she insisted that I must come.
The next day which was Saturday found me dragging my feet to the bus stop, after almost thirty minutes of juxtaposition on the kind of clothes to wear.
A mind told me to wear my suits and appear like a barrister in the making while the other argued I should be a good boy and wear my native. I followed the second one.
As I reached the front of their I was still checking my appearance like an eagle.
After thorough checking, I knocked the Gate and a thrill swept through me as she opened the gate- is it the stunning creature standing in front of me that excites me ? or the beautiful mansion I just set my feet into?
"Hi, I'm looking for Zainab" I teased as I stared at her for seconds.
"Can you recognize her if you see her" she replied smiling.
"She looks just like you, but not as stunning as you are" I said smiling
She laughed and gave me an humorous whacks on the head and said "here I am your Zainab in front of you" with a warming smile
"I am indeed the luckiest guy in the whole universe" I said smiling wide.
She smiled and we started moving, leading me over to their house.
As soon as I set my feet into the sitting room, the cold and pleasant air fresher from the enormous room welcomed me.
Her mom was sitting on a red soft couch, I greeted her and she offered me a seat.
Her mom had always been kind with me because I used to chat with her on whatsapp.
We headed together to the dinning table of almost twelve chairs and on the dinning table were varieties of food from rice, chicken, pepper soup, ram meat, fruits, juices, and many more.
"This is a very big house" I said
They both smiled and look at me " How many of you live here I said to Zainab almost in whisper.
She smiled and said "five of us; dad, mom, myself and my two brothers"
"This is almost twice of our own house" I said
They both laughed jokingly and Zainab exclaimed " really!"
"That's not just it" I added " almost fifteen of us live there" my family and relatives.
We all burst...Laughing. " I think we should exchange, you should migrate to our home then we come here because we are the majority!"
We burst again laughing this time harder. I had fun that day, it's one of the happiest days of my life.
Two days later coming back from a lecture hall with my friend, a car parked in front of us.
Five hoodlums came out of it, and all of them were carrying dangerous weapons.
We kept stepping back with fear as they were approaching us.
One of them asked furiously " Are you Sadeeq ?"
Before I replied the most giant one among them gave me a hot slap on my face and I chocked back, not sure what will happen next......
To be continued Next Week Thursday
