Destiny Counts

deserted beach

Aafrah's POV
☆☆☆☆☆☆

I took my  purse and my iPad in case I get bored, I want to be distracted during this long,once in a life time journey with him.We walked downstairs together,can you imagine but then i heard soft giggles from the kitchen and I know its Aisha.

I excused myself and went to the kitchen I saw aisha hold her mouth trying so hard not to laugh but it was too late.she started laughing like a circus clown,I folded my hand to my chest and looked at her with raised eyebrows then she stopped laughing.

"Aafrah chill I was only joking but am sorry" she apologized "its okay,I just came to ask you to prepare lunch and please clean the other room upstairs  my best friend is coming. And will be going out when the twins are back from their so called  shopping, tell them to call me". She just nod her head giving me a weird and mischievous smile and I know what she means but I ignored her because I was not in the mood.

I heard the car horn outside so I waved at aisha and left.I settled myself in his new car beside him,he was about to start driving but stopped.I looked at him and he gave me the cutest smile and said " put your seatbelt because I don't want to lose you before I could even get you".I put on my seatbelt and we drove off.

We have been driving for over thirty minutes without saying a word to each other and I on the other hand was busy reading the criminal's love by deep_side_love picturing myself in the situation jasmine found her self in . Sometimes what we think is bad for us,is the best for us while sometimes we fail to realize that 'not all that glitters is gold' and sometimes we fail to understand that a diamond goes under many process in other to remove the dirt in it ,so do humans and nobody was born perfect but we try to be perfect. Nevertheless if we keep trying,we will get there.

"Aafrah" Faisal called. I looked at him as we parked near a beach with no one on the beach."we are here"he said. I was afraid of being alone with him because I know I can't fight with some one like Faisal and I won't be able to cry for help if anything happens because there is no sign of living things on this deserted beach.

I got out of the car and made my way to the beach,Faisal was following my foot steps silently like a shasow. I removed my shoes to let the cold water touch my feets,to enjoy the moment, to feel nature passing through my skin pores ,to feel the breeze hitting my face gently like it is saying'SALAM' to me,to look at the waves moving like a dancer swaying her hips,to hear the birds sing and appreciating life the way they find it.

I was lost In my thoughts when Faisal called my name for the third time today. I turned to see a smiling face in front of me,he quickly knelt down in front of me with royal blue tiffany box in has hand, I looked at him with wide eyes but couldn't say anything.

"Do you ever look up at the sky at night and wonder how long it would take to reach just a single star? A billion years perhaps but someday they will burn out sick of shining through their scars.

Do you ever think about if we'll reach them in time? What if it's all an illusion because they have already died inside.

Do you ever wonder? Probably not. And we grow up to pull our sleeves down to cover up the secrets we made.

And we told lies through our eyes and make people believe that we are okay. And while we sat in darkness,we forget to realize and remind ourselves that time will heal,the scars blemish , smiles will return and the monster will disappear ."he said.

"Aafrah,please look at how your love has conquered me,look at what it turned me to,the more I try to hide and suppress it,the more it grows in my heart. Inside this cold hearted beast is someone in need of a hand,someone's support, someone who can pull me out of the darkness and bring me to the light. Just know that darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can.

"Hatred cannot fight hatred,only love can.....I..I..love you,you and only you. Believe me I don't know how it happens,when or where but one thing I know is that ALLAH (SWA)is punishing me for my attempt to....".before he could finish I cut him off not wanting to reminded of the incident.

"Stop,It don't want to remember it"I said to him not wanting to hurt my healing wound by the incidence that happened seven years ago. I closed the Tiffany box and looked at him,I could see moist in his eyes then let out a heavy breathe and looked at me with tiny droplets of tears falling on his cheeks.

Why will he propose to me? I am already traumatized by the unhappy news I was told this morning,he doesn't need to remind me again of it. But come to think of it,is that their purpose of coming here? To get me married to their already rotten son? Is that what they want? Does my father know for this? I don't think he knows Faisal is a bad boy and a bad influence. He smokes,drinks liquor,and everything that is forbidden in Islam,Faisal does them.

Now everything makes sense,they have not visited us since they left and now after almost ten years,they are here and just in the morning my father presented their proposal to me,they want me to fix their rotten egg? Or do they want to destroy some body else's life just because theirs is not perfect?

My heart started beating more than it normal rate and I felt like digging the ground and bury my living body. A part of my is telling me to accept him and changed him into a better person but the other part is opposing.

" I'll tell my dad my answer and I hope you will accept whatever I choose "I said to him. I thought he was faking but the truth is I could see it in his eyes that he really wants to change but I can't just forget the past and pretend as if nothing happened. I just can't.

I remembered when Iman was telling me that she has never seen anyone with deceiving eyes like faisal's. His mind is thinking a different thing,his words and eyes speak the same language. People say that your eyes is the path through your heart but Faisal is different,his eyes shows the path through his words making you believe everything he said.

But I still can't believe that he proposed to me...arghhhhhh...I hate this mixed feelings.

But come to think of it,I can't love him I will marry him because I can never say no to Abi never. I don't care what he do does with his life but do I really want to be part of this drama?
