I heard voices downstairs .Who'll it be this early morning?I decided to go n check .

I saw the face of the woman i  hated the most shouting at umma raining all sort of insults.

"Aunty Khadijah please stop it,whatever it is calm down and discuss it in a polite way"i begged with tears in my eyes."I won't!you little hypocrite who's just like her mother.I wonder why my brother married this thing"she angrily shouted back pointing a hand at my mother.

"Siddiqah go up to your room we'll discuss this with your Aunt and don't Côme down again  until i call you"umma commanded.

"No,let her stay...i came here  for her afterall"said Aunty Khadijah.

I sit beside her and  she started saying"you've just finished college  i think it's time for you to get married.And it's not an option but rather a command.Am not giving you a choice saddiqah"I was dumbfounded i can't think at the moment i started crying .Only God knows the pain  i'm feeling right now.Marriage?i've never given that a thought.she gotta be kidding me right?just then my mother exploded"khadijah you have no right to marry her off.You've been hurting me since the day i married your brother i always let it slide because of him But the last thing i'll ever let u do is to hurt and manipulate my daughter.where were you when i single handedly raise her,feed  her ,educate her,train her and provide for every single need she has?"my mother was on the verge of tears.I hugged her tightly to let her know that i feel her pain.Aunty Khadijah hissed and walked towards the door mumbling we are not done yet under her breathe.Yah Allah not this family problem again am 15 for Allah's sake why would she destroy My future instead of letting me pursue  my dreams and make umma happy.
