My Mistake - Episode 9

 

Fa'izah looked at Fadeel shocked. How dare he call her friend a slut when he was the one she was being slutty for?

"How did you know she is a slut? How dare you call my friend's daughter a slut Fadeel!" His dad bellowed banging is fist on the table in front of him.

"But that is what she is" Fadeel snapped, not minding if his parents wil get angry or not. There's no way he's marrying Aysha after making out with her so many times . He wants someone decent. "I've seen her so many times clutching men and going around town with different men. She is a slut. Have you even seen the way she dresses? She dress just like a prostitute! And you want someone like that to be the mother of my children? Over my dead body. That is not gonna happen dad."

He didn't wait for his father to say anything, rather he quickly left the living room banging the door behind him so loudly.

His parents where dumbfounded. They never knew that Fadeel's attitude had gotten to this level. This wasn't the same Fadeel they sent to school____this is a new version of Fadeel.

"Da____" 

"Shhh___you don't have to say a word Fa'izah. He'll marry her even if he's going to die

. That is a promise I'm going to keep."

"But who sent your mom the picture? Someone is surely behind this___someone who doesn't want you and Fadeel to get married." Amirah finally spoke up aftee listening to Aysha.

Aysha wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand before facing Amirah who was sitting in front of her. They were both outside their Aysha's garden and Amirah had been so happy with the outcome of everything.

"Who will do something like this to me? yeah, someone really sent that picture but i can't even point out at who it is. This is so confusing and i don't even know what to do. I don't know how Fadeel will react if he gets to know that my parents had found about this. Do you think he'll stop loving me?" She asked worriedly tears rolling down her cheeks.

Amirah looked at her with fake sympathy in her eyes. Deep inside, she was jumping up happily and glad her plan is working just the way she wants it to.

"No, i guess Fadeel already loves you too much to bother about all this. He won't leave you__that am sure of."

They both went silent, each with different thoughts in her heart.

"Do you think Fa'izah sent that picture?" Amirah finally dropped the bomb.

"What? No, she can't do something like this. You know, Fa'izah will never betray me like that right?" She replied fighting away all the possible images of Aysha being the one who sent the picture.

Amirah huffed before turning away "From what i know she hates the idea of you loving her brother and trying to make him yours. Has she not been telling you to stop? Maybe that's why she sent the picture to put you into trouble. Can't you see that her brother's face is not even showing?"

Aysha was quiet, weighing the possibility of Fa'izah being the culprit. Will Fa'izah seriously do something like that just to hurt her?

"You think so?"

"I don't think__i know she did it. I guess you'll only believe she did it when things are already getting out of hand. Come to think of it___she's the only one against you making Fadeel yours___she.did. it!"

And she remembered. All the talks with Fa'izah, how she tries to persuade her__begging her to stop. But does that give her the rights to do something like this to her? No. And now__she'll end their friendship for good. Amirah is the only good friend she has.

"I know exactly what to do. Thank you Amirah."

"You're welcome girl." She wanted asking what Aysha will do but decided against it. She wouldn't want Aysha to suspect her.

Fadeel paced his room, his hand behind his back as he finally stood in front of the window looking outside the backyard.

This can't be happening to him. How the hell is he going to marry someone like Aysha? Who knows if she has been throwing herself at other guys before she finally threw herself at him. That girl is not even a marriage material.

His phone buzzed with a message. He ignored the message at first but later on decided on checking it.

"I know you don't know me, and maybe you won't even bother knowing me. Just know that I've been your lover right from day one, but i tried to keep my distance all this while to preserve ny dignity. I know what you're going through right now___and i hate to see my love ssuffering in pain and anguish, that's why i decided to tell you this. Aysha sent the picture below to your parents, and thats why they are insisting you marry her. I know you don't have a choice, and i know you can't stop it__just wanted you to know what and how it happened. Below is the picture. Yours well wisher and forever Lover, Thank you."

Below was a picture of he hugging Aysha that night  and even though their faces weren't that clear___anyone who knows them can clearly point out to them. Damn Aysha and her stupid love!

A knock came from his door before the door was pushed open without the person waiting to be permitted in.

"Yaya Fadeel, what was that you did yesterday? How could you call her a slut when the both of you are together?" Fa'izah said as soon  she stood in front of him, hands crossed across her chest. She's trying so hard to control her rage not to snap or shout at him.

"Is that what you came to say? If that's it please just leave and let me think. I don't have the time to waste in talking about that whore of a person you call a friend."

What?! Fa'izah was beyond shocked at the cold attitude of her brother. What is he saying? And why is he this way?

"Yaya please, you can't do this to her.

. She has always loved you and still love you. You and I both know that that picture was taken when you hugged her. Why are you making a fuss out of all this when she did it all to get your attention."

"Because that sorry excuse of a lady sent the picture to our parents so that they can marry us off. She was the one throwing her body to me__i didn't ask for it__neither did I beg for it!"

"No one sent a picture to any of our parents Yaya. The picture was sent to her father and he talked to Dad about it. Dad was the one who proposed the wedding."

He won't let his sister brain wash him. He knows Aysha sent a picture to his parents. Someone has already told him.

"Okay fine. But i still will not marry that girl."

"You will. In shaa Allah!" She snapped angrily before leaving the room.

Fadeel hissed before unlocking his phone a typing a quick reply to the number.

"Who are you please?"

He waited for a while before a reply came through.

"Amirah Julde."

What? She's also Fa'izah's friend right? Wow, how could both friends love him? He thought.

"I can help you if you want. Nothing will stop that marriage, let's meet and talk___surely am going to help you."
