I looked at him and the only thing that came to my mind was my mum. How she suffered and how she hated herself.

 It's because of him that she died. Mom died because of constant nightmares . She couldn't face herself,  She hated the city and she also gave up on her dreams. I gave up on my education because of him and yes I have every reason to hate him . He wanted to kill the love of my life so how can I embrace him. I looked at him and without saying a word I left.

Immy's pov

She stared at dad with her eyes full of hatred for a very long time and then she left. I ran after her calling out her name but all in vain. I went and knelt down besides dad and held his hand in mine. Don't worry princess I expected worse than that he smiled as he said. I stood up and pushed dad towards the veranda. Imarisha and mubiru ran off to the neighbourhood to meet their friends and I remained with Nan, Stephan and dad. 

Stephen went and brought some snacks as we waited for imara to return. The first time I came here I heard mom told the villagers our dad died while we were still young and she got married again to imarisha's dad. Everyone knows that imara is an orphan without a mom and a dad. Just as we were waiting for her she sent a text to me," I can't stand his sight so I won't come back

. He can stay as long as he wishes for as long as he doesn't show up on my wedding.  Am an orphan without any parent. Good enough you came with nana so she can cook for you guys".

I looked at my phone in amazement. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  I never expected this from her even if I didn't expect her to warmly welcome him. This is too much for me I just can't seem to understand her pain. How deep the wound in her heart is. What can I do now? I wondered to myself.  Dad seems so desperate to rencocile with her daughter.  He misses her so much but its the opposite.  She still hates him so much but am in no position to judge her because I don't know what she passed through with mom. What are you looking at? Dad asked. Nothing dad its just a message from Vicky I lied . Before I could resist he had taken my off and reading the message. He still looked calm. I understand her pain he said also whispering.  

I asked Nana to unpack and prepare something to eat. The whole day imara never showed up. Stephen was to sleep at the hotel as agreed. I stayed with dad praying that imara changes her mind. The whole day she didn't show up and didn't even come back for the night.

It has been four days ever since we came to the village and I only meet imara in the neighbourhood.  She stays at maama Namuli place and spends the rest of the day studying Islam. She now dresses in beautiful long dresses and also puts a veil on her head. I admit she looks so beautiful in them. Tomorrow is her wedding day so today she is in the salon doing her hair and her body being decorated with henna. Vicky and Nancy arrived today in the morning and everyone is busy running errands. The whole neighbourhood is so busy.

Woman are peeling matooke while singing beautiful songs. Everyone is happy . Vicky,  Nancy,Hajara,and Namuli are the bridesmaids and am going to be the maid of honour. We agreed to take dad but he will sit in the congregation as an invited guest. 

Imara's pov

It's been a hectic week as I had to do a lot of stuff but finally the day is tomorrow.  My traditional wedding is going to take place at maama Namuli place and then we will do a Nikkah from the mosque and take our visitors to masaka country gardens later. Am so happy that am getting married to the man of my dreams. My hands and legs are being decorated with henna and my hair is being done. Although am going to veil that doesn't stop me from doing my hair.

. I looked at my self in the mirror and I couldn't believe my eyes. The flowers looks so good on me and makes me look more beautiful.  I think faruk will like this. I said to myself. It was late around eight at night that I went back to rest up. I found the whole place filled with people laughing and dancing to the music which was popping. 

They all shouted on seeing me and my heart was filled with joy. Vicky and Nancy were also there and trust me it was breath taking. We laughed as they made jokes and later I went into the house. Many old women were inside. They asked me to sit down and they advised me on how to treat my husband to be and to be a patient,supportive and caring wife towards my husband.  I listened to every single word they said and after they gave me their blessings and I went to rest up.
