She needed someone, someone who could walk along her to not let her be haunted by loneliness.

She needed someone by her side so that the demise of her parents doesn't bring death to her happiness.

She needed a friend in that foreign place, the orphanage.
Emir, she got him as her friend.

But they both had no idea how this friendship turned into relationship in no time.

She didn't love him! Neither did he.
She wanted someone's company and he needed her beauty.

He demanded for so the day before he left to Canada. When she disagreed, he tried to force her though failed to get what he wanted.

Realization and repentance wiped off her sin long back.
The one who repented is like the one who never sinned.
But now, is she supposed to reveal this forgiven sin to her husband?

NO!

"Isn't the reminder so beautiful and needy?"
Yazan asked seeking her attention.

Sayba followed his gaze that led to a big signboard to their right in the road, which quotes,

"All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin.
(those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people).
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Past or present, it's prohibited to reveal one's sins."

A breathe of relief Sayba exhaled as she hummed and looked at Yazan.
The ethereal smile on his lips brought cold clouds to the sky of her heart when his gaze met hers.

She no more worries of her past for he has no right to know anything of that.

Flashback.

"I know you're just 17 but knowing this is needed now, when do you want to marry?"

Sayba's mouth gaped open in surprise hearing her mother's question.

"Finally you asked this! Ohh thank Allah!"
She raised her hands up in gratitude.

A glare from her mother shot her which definitely didn't lessen her excitement as she sat straight and took a deep breathe to answer the question.

"Look Mom, so what if I'm 17? I'm ready."
She proudly said.

Her mother rolled her eyes in shock before slapping her cheek lightly.

"I know that you're shameless but at least act shy in times."

"Shamelessness is an art, nothing to hide.
Okay so....why are you asking me this? Is there any proposal for me?"

"Sayba...can we be serious?"

"But Mom...."
