《Destined Hearts》CHAPTER 26: WEDDIND / SACRIFICE.
Advertisement
Today is Aisha's wedding and I can't believe it's one month already. The groom decided that there shouldn't be any events,except the one which would take place in the mosque, that is the tie of the knot. This were orders given by the groom and I wonder why.
Whatever, that's is business.
The funniest thing is that I don't even know who the groom is, I haven't seen him yet.
The bride is in her room crying ,she doesn't want this marriage to take place and I don't even know what to do about it.
After putting the decorations items in the right place I decided to check on Aisha. As I got to the room, I was met with Aisha's cries. Since in the morning she didn't allow anyone to came see her not even her cousins.
I moved forward to sit close to her on the bed.
" Aisha please stop crying " I tried consoling
" how can I stop when I'm about to get married to someone I don't even want ameera" she said in a shaky voice because of her cries.
" please help me Ameera, please" she begged
" Aisha, I don't even know what to do I'm also confused myself" I said.
Aisha and ya kabiru finally confessed their love for each other last two weeks and they were so happy about it.
Now they are both in a state I can't even explain myself. Ya kabiru now feels and looks terrible because Aisha's father refused to cancel the wedding, he was so disrupted.
What can I do to help... I tried thinking of possible plans and how would I go about it.
What if.. What if...
" Ameera What are you thinking about" Aisha brought me out of my trance.
" what if I marry him instead" Aisha's eye nearly bulge out as I said this.
" what!, no no please don't do this to yourself ameera" Aisha said while shaking her head.
" Try to understand that,that it is the only best solution we have. " I said thoughtful
" so you want to risked your happiness for me, please don't say that please I can't leave knowing that I made you to make a terrible decision" she explained.
" stop it Aisha, I want to fulfill my promise to you"
" Do you remember what I told you about bringing you and ya kabiru together " I said while she nodded her head.

" I want to fulfill that promise now" she quickly rise up from the bed upon hearing this.
" no no no, Ameera please stop. I won't allow you to do something like that to your self. Even if I was to agree with this,how will you go about it" she said waving her hand.
I sighed and give a thought to what she said. Well she is right though but I'd come up with a plan.
" I have a plan"
She gave me this look like I was crazy. Yes, I might sound crazy but I want to do this for them. I don't care if she thinks I'm crazy for suggesting something like this, as far as she and my brother ends up together I'm OK with it.
" but Aisha, listen to yourself. What you want to do is something big and you know we have to go through my parents to make this happen. My father will never agree to this" she explained with a broken voice.
" Do you think I'd go up straight to your father and tell him I want to be the bride? No, that's not how I plan to do it" I said
" Then tell me how you want to to this"
"I have a plan" I declared.
" This quick? "she asked while I nodded. " don't forget that you haven't even seen him, you don't know how Amir looks like Ameera.Even I myself don't know how he looks like. Anytime he comes to see me, my eyes are always down. We don't know if he is even a psychopath. "
" yeah yeah yeah, I've heard you but I'm still going on with the plans. Just please agree with me on this, please" I said while she gave me a surrender look.
" but-but. What about Faisal, are you still dating him" she asked
" you remember what I told you about not feeling the spark in the relationship some months ago" she nodded " we talked about it and later broke up in good terms though "
She gave me an heart warming smile and held my hands in hers " I'm so lucky to have a friend like you Ameera, what would I do without you. I'm not happy with this but there is nothing I can do so, I'm in,with the plan"
" Tell me what the plan is all about. " she gingerly said and I smiled at her at last.

Already dressed in my white shadda and malinmalin, I walked to my nightstand and took my wrist watch and touch of blue and white cap. After fully dressed, I walked straight to the standing mirror at the corner of my room and check myself.
Masha Allah is what I can only say, I'm what people would call good-looking and gorgeous man but I don't care about what they say. I looked myself in the mirror and smile at my reflection, my dark grey eye popping out. These eyes of mine is one of the things I love best about myself, it makes me stand out in a gathering or among my friends .
Some people would ask If I came from American family because of my eyes color and i would just laugh at their questions . Actually, my mother came from an Arab family,she is an Arab with a fair skin so I got my eyes from my mom. I'm not fair though, I have this bright brown skin and I resemble my father in facial features.
" are you seriously checking yourself out in the mirror" I rolled my eye cos I already know who that is. It was khalifa and next standing with him is my sister, sadiya.
" what do you want " I asked him as I move away from the mirror to spray some perfume.
" and you, what are you doing with him" I asked sadiya while pointing at Khalifa.
" nope, you don't get to ask us any questions until you answer mine. Where you seriously checking yourself out " Khalifa said.
" who does that" another voice said as the owner of the voice came to view. It was Nasir my immediate brother .
" Amir did" said Khalifa with a smirk while I glared at him. Why are they even in my room.
" all of you should get out of my house " I said to them with a firm voice
" but we just...... " Khalifa tried saying but I cut him off.
" especially you Khalifa, get out" I pointed at the door.
" why me but I'm your best friend " he childishly pouted and dragged his feets out of my room.
Is he really 29......i wondered.
" what are you two waiting for, follow him" I said to the two people left.
" but yahya" sadiya drawled and Nadir was giving me an amused look. This wedding of a thing is really turning me to an angry man.
" just tell me what you all came for because that one who just left will never say anything until he rile me up" I pointed at the door which Khalifa went through.
" Dad said you should come see him when you're done.He said something important just came up. " sadiya said and left the room.
What could be so important.... I thought
I turn to my brother Nasir ,to see if he knows what's up with dad. He only shrugged as a sign that he also don't know why dad wants to see me..
" I can see that this wedding of a thing is really getting to you bro" Nadir said as we made our way to my sitting room and saw Khalifa in the kitchen trying to get some thing to eat. I knew he hasn't left cos he doesn't give up easily. When he saw us he waved and I roll my eye at him.
" I'm trying to come to terms with it, it's really stressing me out" I answered Nasir's question .
" stop worrying, just pray over it and everything would be fine. We are to be at the mosque by 2pm for the marriage ,since you are already in your clothes you better go and see why dad wants to talk to you about. " he said and I agreed with him. I stood up and went to the kitchen to drink some water.
" yo man" Khalifa said as I entered the kitchen . I punched his hands as he tried to wipe me with the hand towel on his left arm.
" ouch...you wound me love" he said in a childish way while holding the arm I punched .
"how childish can you get" I asked in wonderment as I made my way to the fridge.
After I get the water and drink, I went to the main house to see my father.
What's up people, how was the chapter so far😄. What do you think is the plan Aisha and Ameera are talking about?🤓. Would Ameera succeed with her plans of marrying Amir? Or will she fail. What would our Amir say when he comes to know about this plan? Would he be happy or furious about it? 👿

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

Casa do Diaño: The Fool
As Thomas Hobbes once said, "Humans are driven by a perpetual and restless desire for power." Given the heavily moral standards society has placed on its inhabitants for centuries, it's no wonder many people deny their internal need to be in control of something. "Oh, we do not want to rule the world at all! We just want to live happy and die happy!" Of course, the irony there is that, by wanting a happy future, you are actually projecting your own desires and opinions into what the world should be like. Hence your inner monarch banging his/her scepter for all their subjects to hear. Though to be fair, this is a pretty small, small example. Why settle for small? Why not go the extra mile and become that vicious monarch pounding his scepter at his feet? This is the story of a young man by the name of Genghis Dillinger Boy. There are quite a few words that can describe Genghis. Anarchist. Libertine. Criminal. Psychopath. He has denied the moral standards society has set for him and constantly lives his life seeking more and more power. Once an unexpected turn occurs in his life, he uses it as an excuse to burn his bridges and move him and his bride to a mysterious island known as Casa do Diaño. Genghis vows to burn the old world to the ground and watch as his brand new world arises from the ashes. But what if he's biting off more than he can chew? After all, monsters like Genghis are not the only kind of monsters lurking in the House of the Devil...
