Nadia’s
Point of View
I sat in the studio and I felt
reluctant to speak to my microphone for the first time. It was something that
gave me a source of fulfillment and happiness.
After the incident last night,
I have not been able to think through. It was terrible knowing that Yasmin and
Rasheed have some things together.
“Ma’am, you’ll start the show
in the next five minutes. Hope you’re fine?” Mr. Jones asked.
“I will be fine. Thank you
Sir”.
“Nadia!” Zaynah called,
entering the studio.
“Yes?”
“You shouldn’t think about what
happened last night. You trust Rasheed, don’t you?”
“I do, but his sister is trying
to hook them up”.
“It’s not like he accepted”.
“Its Yasmin we’re talking about
here. We both know who Yasmin is”.
“You have to take it easy. You
remember when we were talking about the love being too perfect?
This shows that
it’s not, that there are hurdles and obstacles that you have to face to be
together”.
“You’re right Zaynah. Some of the
novels I read portray hindrances and enemies that strive to make sure that the
love becomes impossible. Yasmin is just too much to bear”.
“You both love yourself and
that’s what matters okay?”
“Okay Zaynah”.
“Now, get your show going”.

Zaynah and I were on our way
for lunch when Yasmin obstructed us.
“What do we call what happened
last night?” She asked, standing hands akimbo.
“I should be asking you”.
“Are you trying to compete with
me? You’re trying to take the only person that I love the most”.
“I never knew you guys know
each other”.
“That’s a big lie. I know that
you’re always jealous of me. Your tactics will not work. I’m going to get
married to Rasheed and there’s nothing you’ll do about it”. She yelled, walking
out on us.
“Ignore her. She can’t do
anything”.
“I’m scared Zaynah”.
“You don’t have to be. Rasheed
loves you and that’s what matters”. She re-assured me as we walked to the
coffee shop.
When we entered, we noticed
that our usual seat has been occupied. I looked closely to notice that it was
Rasheed.
“Act like you’re really mad and
let him do the begging”. Zaynah whispered as she took another seat.
I walked to where he was. “Hi
Rasheed”.
“Hello. How are you doing?”
“I’m fine” I sat quietly.
“Do you care for anything?”
“I’m fine for now”.
“I’m really sorry about last
night Nadia. If I knew it was Yasmin, I wouldn’t have attended. My sister has
been trying to get us together and I never conceded. Just before she travelled,
I made her realize that I’ve found someone else and Yasmin and I would never be
possible”.
“Are you telling the truth?”
“I am, Nadia. I’ve never felt
this way before. You’re my love, my everything. I cherish you so much Nadia”.
He begged as I turned sideways with a frown.
I
was blushing internally.
“I cannot imagine spending my
future with no one else than you. Okay, let me make it up to you. Can I take
you to somewhere for the weekend and after then, you’ll get to meet my family?”
“Are you for real?” I grinned
broadly.
“I am, Nadia”.
“That will be nice”. I turned
to Zaynah smiling.
She scrunched her face, trying
to get what was going on but I blinked in reply, promising I’ll feed her with
the story later.
“I feel relieved now. What do
you want?”
“A cup of cappuccino, just like
you’ll have it”. I laughed as he joined.
