Chapter 22

Seating with his dad was Amir and ruma who were conversing together.

"But what is thrilling is who might  have shoot the gun at you"Amirs dad said.

"and according to what I witnessed, the bullet was meant for me"ruma said.

"that is very true"Amir said "but who would won't you dead and why?, And you have no enemies over here"

"she doesn't have an enemy here,but..."Amirs dad paused" but your Father does"he completed his statements.

" Yes that is very true,and i am very sure it has something to do with RMKZ" Amir said.

"exactly, rumaina's death will only mean that RMKZ has no heir" His dad said.

"so that means it's someone who has a share in RMKZ that could have done this?"she said.

"yes and I suspect Mr Kapoor, he is the only one who has a right Over RMKZ" Amir said.

"very true,that was exact suspicion" amir's dad said which stroking his chin.

"but we can't just jump into it,we need Evidence" Amir's dad said "And I am very sure the death of your parent might also be a conspiracy,which we are certainly going to unfold"he added.

"Uncle Salman,I would love to get justice for Amir,but if it's means putting our lives at stake because RMKZ,I think we should forget it. I don't want blood shed again"she says , she really didn't like the fact that someone might get hurt because of All this.

"But if he is truly behind the death of your parents, I won't let him go scoot free and I must make sure he is punished"Amir says,

"Amir,I would love for the murderers of my parents to be brought to justice,but I would not want to risk any of your lives. I can't lose my second family because of money"she says and Amir and his dad nodded, though Amir was not convinced.

"tell me something, what's up with you guys?. I heard Yasmine telling me something like rumir20 . She says you people would be married soon and I should get ready"Amirs dad says,he had wanted finding out if what Yasmine had said to him earlier in the morning was true.

"Uhmm.... something like that" Amir said while ruma hid her face in Embarrassment.

"I would love to hear what that something is ?" Amirs dad said with all enthusiasm.

"ruma and I love each other"Amir said staring at ruma whose eyes were on the desk.

" Is that true ruma?" Amirs dad asked.

" Yes uncle Salman"she says shyly.

"Wow , Alhamdudililahi. I'm so happy" Amir's dad said "this calls for a wedding don't you think ?" Amirs dad asked.

"yeah absolutely"Amir said And ruma got up and ran upstairs in the name of shyness .

"I'll have to call uzairu " Amirs dad said Happily.

She was breathless as she heard the announcement which was made in the plane they had just boarded. She was seated with Amir in a public plane which was taking them to Nigeria where their wedding preparations had already began.

"Just breath Habeebty. This isn't your first time"Amir said holding ruma's hand which was in a Glove.

"yes. It has just been long"she muttered, resting her head on the headrest.

"I know. Don't worry we'll be in Nigeria soon" he tried comforting her.

"insha Allah. I want to sleep" she closes her eyes slowly.

"Come, take the window seat" he said and they exchanged sides.

"Amir?"she called.

"yes"he looked into her eyes.

"Good night" she Chuckled.

"Hahaha.... Good night Habeebty" he mutters as he watched her close her eyes as she drifted to lala land.

"Thank you for using Emirates Airline" their plane had landed and they were Presently at Nmadi Azikwe Airport, where they had all stepped down and were presently on their way to the parking lot where their car was parked.

"The Nigeria Air" Amir heaved as he sat comfortably at the back seat of the car.

"Where is Father and Yasmin?" She asked while resting her head on the head rest.

"They'll be here tomorrow I guess, Dad must have decided to go get my mum From Spain" Amir said.

"oh wow, I can't wait to see her Again"ruma said.

" Do you know my mom too?"Amir asked.

" Yes, infact I know her name, Dunya" she said.

"Wow, tell me something?, Does my mum like you?" He asked.

" Yeah, but I don't talk to her that much. I only talk to uncle Salman"she said.

"Why?" He crocked his brows.

"Your mum doesn't smile in my house, though she talks to my mum rarely And always pressures your dad in other to take her back home" she said.

" That's my mum for you. She is so unfriendly"Amir Chuckled, though in him. He knew his mum was trouble.

"Haha....." Ruma Chuckled nervously, they talked on pointless subjects on their way to ruma's village.

On getting to the compound where ruma had lived in for ten years, it was sillent and all ruma And Amir could hear was the humming of the humming bird which flew arround the tall trees of the compound.

"Abba! Musbahu! Zaraaaah" ruma yelled as she dropped her suitcase and runs into the house.

"Auntyyyyy!" She yelled, she entered into her Auntie's room where she found her laying on her bed and sleeping peacefully.

"Aunty" she shook her aunty who grumbled as she kicked her leg.

"Aunty" she yelled loudly making her Aunty jolt right up from her soft bed.

"Ohh, Zarah Mai (what)" her aunty yelled while opening her eyes to see ruma standing before her.

"Rumaina?" Her aunty wrinkled her brows making ruma Chuckle.

"Yes Aunty, ni ce (it's me)" rumaina smiled happily while engulfing her Aunty in a wild hug.

"waye kawo ki (who brought you?)" Her aunty asked.

"kizo muje waje (let's go outside)"ruma said instead.

"Toh (ok)"her aunty said while getting up from the bed.

both ruma and her Aunty walked out to find Amir, Already seated on a bench comfortably.

"Ci ya kawo ki? (did he bring you here?)" Her aunty whispered to ruma who Chuckled, they must still be of the thought that this is still the rude Amir sheikh they met a year ago.

"Yes" ruma mumbled.

"What are you doing in my house you bastard!" Her uncles voice startled both ruma and Amir who got up in a jiff.

"Abba" ruma said happily "He is not the same person you know before, he has changed" ruma smiled at Amir whose heart was beating at Rapid pace.

"Abba I'm sorry for All the things I've put you through, I promise i have changed and i truly regret my actions" Amir said,

"Ruma, welcome back home my girl" her uncle ignored Amir and walked over to ruma and gave her a side hug.

"And as for you, thank you for bringing back my daughter, you may go now!" Her uncle said coldly.

"I'll go but I will not be leaving empty handed because I am here to ask for your daughters hand in marriage!" Amir said boldly making Ruma's uncle to scoff.

"which Daughter?" Amir's dad asked.

"Ruma" Amir said looking directly at ruma who smiled sheepishly.

"You must be stupid"
