AZAAN

   I couldn't sit since I received one horrendous news about Noorin getting married. I've been moving to and fro not knowing what to do. Why did she have to go this far? Can't she just look back and glance at this dying soul? Can't she forgive me for this once and give me another chance? Did she have to ditch me completely? Many questions floating in my mind which I desperately needed the answers.

I wanted to call Zayd and ask him for the complete details about what's happening. But he already told me he don't want to interfere because he don't want his sister to feel like he's forcing her into something she didn't want.

I fled to UK a week before Noorin's graduation and I decided to stay there till Noorin change her mind and hear me out. And now it seems that things are getting more complicated. I knew Ashraf love her from that graduation day and the day they went out together. I kindly followed them because my heart couldn't be at peace. I saw the kind of look he'd been sending her and Salwa's fiancé, Muhsin is my friend. We once met on a business trip a year back, he's also an architect. He's the one that told me about the marriage issue thinking whether I've changed my mind.

"You may encounter many defeats, you must not be defeated to this". This is what my subconscious mind have been telling me. Things kept getting sour and blue, I don't even know where to start. What I'm more afraid of now is what if Noorin love Ashraf? What if she chooses him over me. I don't even know if I can handle that pain. But, I have to try at least it's better than not trying at all.

I took my phone that was on my bed and called Maa, my comfort zone. I told her what's happening and she's more worried than I can ever imagined. She gave me her blessings and wished me the best. She warned me to be extra careful and I should never force Noorin into something she don't want. I assured her that Inshaa Allah I will be mindful of that and with that, the line went silent.

I puffed out air and scrolled down my phone to reach Zayd's contact. He didn't pick at first so I called again after five minutes. He apologized and told me that he took his father to the hotel he's staying and he left the phone at home. I told him I'm coming to meet him because this issue can't be discussed on phone. He told me not to come home if not things might get out of hand so we scheduled a place.

"Aha! What is it about?" Zayd asked sipping his mint tea.

I knew he's all aware of what I wanted us to discuss about but that dude! The very hard brother in-law I've ever met.

Wait did I just think of that 'brother in-law'. I'm not in that position yet.

"Well, about Noorin! Guy please stop pretending as if you don't care. Can't you just do something? I'm in the verge of loosing her and that sucks!". I tried to not yell so that I won't draw people's attention in the cafe.

"I told you I don't want to interfere". He cooed.

Dammit! I can't understand Zayd anymore. Why is he impetuous about my relationship with Noorin? Did he not want me with her anymore?.

"Did you not want me to be with your sister?" I suddenly asked.

He stared at me without saying anything for almost 30 seconds.

"If I didn't then, I couldn't have told you she's here" he sighed and continued. "Don't think of me other way Azaan. I just don't want to force her".
