Episode Six
Hamdalah
sat in the living room and watched TV with her family. She hadn't been herself
after the incident at the wedding. It took a long time before she confessed to
Maryam the reason for her sadness.
She
had given up on Abdur Rahman.
Despite
Maryam's attempt to convince her, she never accepted that he could ever love
her.
I was so stupid to fall
in love with him. I always knew that we were different and that he'd never see
me the way I do.
Hamdalah
thought as she scowled at the TV. Everyone raised their eyebrows at her.
"Are
you okay Hamdalah? You've been acting really weird for days now". Her Aunt
asked concerned.
"I'm
fine Aunt." Hamdalah said as Numan entered with a parcel.
Numan
was Hamdalah's younger cousin and he was only twelve years old.
'Here's
a package for you sister Hamdalah. A man came here saying that someone has sent
it to you". he gave her the package covered with red designs.
'Who
would have sent it". She murmured to herself as she surveyed the gift.
"Dunno.
It probably would be from a boy". Numan chuckled.
"Go
back and continue your assignment". Her Aunt dispersed him as he left the
living room still chuckling.
Hamdalah
went inside the room to open the gift. She felt very nervous as she untangled
the gift wrapper.
Who can do this be? She thought.
In
it was a silver box and a hand written letter. She decided to first open the
letter. It was written by Abdur Rahman. It read:-
Dear
Hamdalah,
As
you read this, I'm currently on my way to London. I so much hate to leave
Nigeria but I have to see my dad. He's the only one I've got and I have to make
him happy.
I
really don't know why I have this strange feeling leaving you behind for just a
period of time. I haven't experienced this before and I don't know why I am
now.
More
so, I don't know why I feel this way or why I even decided to write to you.
I
have something really important to tell you when I come back but till then, I
hope you take good care of yourself.
Bye!
Yours Faithfully,
Abdur
Rahman.
Hamdalah
couldn't control the tears that swelled her eyes when she read the letter. What baffled her more was when she opened the
black box.
In
it contained the most sparlikng silver bracelet that Hamdalah had ever seen.
Hamdalah wore the shiny bracelet and cried deeply. She was happy that Abdur
Rahman had sent it to her.
Maryam
entered the room to see her sister smiling and crying at the same time.
'What
happened? Who sent you this?" Her eyes popped open as she touched the
sparkling bracelet.
"Abdur
Rahman". Hamdalah said and the thought of him came to her mind again.
She
gave the letter to Maryam and she read it.
Maryam
hugged Hamdalah tight as she also became emotional.
'Abdur
Rahman loves you Hamdalah. This says it all. You've just got to be patient till
he comes back. I'm pretty sure that what he has to say when he returns is to
confess his undying love for you. He would tell you how happy he is to meet you
and how he would like to spend the rest of his life with you. I assure you
that". Maryam caressed her sister's back.
Hamdalah
believed what Maryam said. She would wait patiently for him to confess his love
for her.
P.S-
Ladies always feel flustered when a man
sends them a precious gift. It shows how deeply they are being cherished. If
you truly love someone, why don't you take out time to buy something precious
that such person will live to remember.
What do you think of
this episode? Should Hamdalah wait patiently for Abdur Rahman???
