Chapter Thirteen: Umar's Job

I spent the whole night thinking, Friday was exactly 7 days from that day, how did I agree to this?

I thought Ruqayya was joking about the wedding being in 10 days. Could I really get married to someone in 10 days? I felt uneasy and overwhelmed as my alarm rang.

My eyes were open throughout the night, I didn't even have a blink of sleep, I felt too tired and lazy to get up as my Alarm rang continuously. I reluctantly got up putting off the Alarm and getting ready for work.

After I was done with my morning prayers, I saw a missed call from Ibrahim. I wasn't sure he was the person I wanted to talk to at the moment, regardless I decided to return the call.

"Good morning dear" Ibrahim said, as soon as he picked up the call, "good morning" I replied. "sorry I didn't call you last night, I had a meeting and didn't return home until late" Ibrahim' explained himself.

"It's fine," I said, I didn't even expect him to call. this was the man I was getting married to and I didn't know anything
