Unexpected part of my deen... 58

Mariam's Pov

"Bro, calm down and drive carefully, please" I tried to calm my fuming brother but he didn't listen " Faruq?" He doesn't keep quite when I talk like this. He is just being different. No, please. When I looked to his face. He was lost in a trance. "Zaynab won't like if anything happens to you. She loves you" He snapped his face from the road to my face then roughly stepped on the break. "Caution,big brother" I soothingly whispered " Let us park well" I looked back at the confused cars horning at us to get out of the midst of the road. Alhamdulillah that we didn't cause any accident. He moved the car so gently of the road and parked well. I immediately turned to him and hugged his hand to mine "Don't be like this. Please, talk to me" "Is that my competition?" He asked with his eyes still on the road in front of us. "Stem down your jealousy" "I wish I can turn it down. I prayed I can let go of these feelings. Mariam, I wake up for Tahajud and beg ALLAH to cleanse me of this infatuation. How can this be Love?" "ALLAH answers all Dua. He answers them. So, this is definitely love. You love her. She is an amazing lady. She is my best friend. And she loves you too", He glanced at me with a spark of hope " Did she tell you something?" "You know she did, brother. She is confused" "Because of that man at Kano University? Really? Who did she know first?" "She is scared of hurting Asiya. Asiya likes you a lot and she knew you first... Bro, she cries almost everyday. There are times after my Tahajud, I walk downstairs for a glass of milk,I hear sniffle from her room when I place my hear to know why the tears. I heard her say "Ya ALLAH أ, what do I do? I don't want to hurt anyone of them. They are precious to me. I love brother Faruq and but Asiya. Brother Hassan loves me,I like him but I don't want to marry him base on pity. Ya ALLAH guide me, please. I beseech you" Those were her exact statement add or remove some words repeatedly, bro" He look out his window shaking his head gently "What do I do, sis? I have tried to talk to her but she won't really listen. I know she is scared. I have seen it in her eyes but, sis, I want to marry her" he look helplessly at me as if saying "Help me". I closed my eyes take in a deep breath and say " You have to talk to Asiya and tell her what you feel instead of leading her on" I advised "But, is that going to be okay for Zaynab? Won't Asiya be hurt?" "She will be hurt and Zaynab won't be okay but at least things will be a bit clearer. They will both be relieved when they know the position they both stand. No assumption no expectations. Believe me,bro. That is more relieving" He looked about to give up "But..." I grabbed his shoulders "Big bro, please look at me" I said holding his shoulders tight with my hands then looking in his eyes "You have to snap out of this reverie of helplessness. Snap out of it and start making decisions. Please. I am tired of how two of my favorites in the whole world is not so miserable concerning one another. Don't do that, please. It is hurting me too and I don't want to be hurt. Let's do something, please. I will do it if you don't. " I didn't release him till I finished talking so he would understand how serious I am and I released him totally from my grasp and he nodded with understanding. "Please, compose yourself and drive us back home." He took a deep breath then I turned the car back towards home. Alhamdulillah. Bismillah. Asiya, I am sorry. I sighed heavily. It has been a long day as I glanced to my brother's face full of shadows.

Chapter 2 Unexpected Part of my Deen

When I entered Mariam's room, I saw her jumping on the bed. When she saw me entered she jumped on me, I almost fell back but I tried to stand my ground." He is coming" she shouted, I looked to Mariam who rolled her eyes, " my brother didn't travel back yesterday, he is staying for few days, and I told him that I already found someone I want him to marry and he will be here soon to see her and you ,since he didn't get the chance to meet you the other day" Mariam said, while I nodded. I sat down on the bed while Asiyah ran to her room to get ready. "I just hope he likes her, I won't want her disappointed" Mariam said to me. She stood up and close her opened door. "I am sure he will" I assured. "If he doesn't who else do you suggest I choose, I don't really know who of the many girls I know tho choose" Mariam confessed again,"He will love her and I know of Hawaw, she is a good kogi girl, but I think she has someone already and she said she doesn't want to marry a Yoruba man because of pepper and language barrier " I said " Pepper? " I shrugged, " she thinks Yoruba people eat like that too much " I answered while she laughed. And then, she stares at me when she stopped laughing. " I think my brother will like you a lot" she said seriously, " I don't think so, I am a pauper, remember and not his type" I said while she hit me playfully, besides I am thinking of considering a lecturer of mine... " " what?! The one since 100 level?" " I told you?" I asked surprised, " yes, have you forgotten? It was when I saw the lecturer looking at you somehow when you went to greet him at one of your departmental programs you invited me to" she answered " SubhanALLAH, I have forgotten. He called me recently to his office in front of everyone in class to his office where he renewed his intention" I said looking at the beautiful couch in her room." Oh,Zay, do you like him?" " I haven't given his intention much thought... I don't think so" I said " if you don't like him, don't force yourself, you should marry someone you love or like enough to be with them" Mariam advised, I nodded. Then, the door opened, Asiyah walked in beautifully dressed in her half khimar and face full of make-up but not too much, but very obvious a bit more than she usually does. She is still beautiful, Mariam's brother is in trouble, he is going be so floored by such beauty. " you look beautiful " I said while Mariam agreed by nodding. ". Are you sure, hope my pink gown and khimar is not too flashy? My make up? Will your brother like it, Mariam" Asiyah asked a bit nervous. As Mariam was about to answer there was a knock at the dpor " he is here " Mariam said, she stood up to go to the living room to open the door. " Already?! Is this okay?" Asiyah asked me, I didn't want to say her make up was too much for me since I don't wear them...I nodded and smiled. Mariam entered back "He is waiting, any time you are ready, Asiyah, but ,Zaynab come with me to meet him now, so that Asiyah can have time to talk with him in the living room" Asiyah nodded while I stood up and followed Mariam. I feel so nervous, maybe because I don't like mingling with men like that. When I got to the living room and I saw him, I was rooted to the ground. I quickly looked down and Mariam draw me nearer, she probably noticed my tense reaction, she sat me down next to her while I kept looking down, I can explain my feelings. What is this?
