I dare you to comment on every paragraph for triple update💀
KANO STATE, NIGERIA.
Amirah is balls of nerves all over, pushing the meal inside her mouth without appetite but just to fill it up so it won't grumble in that embarrassing way anymore.
Nazir's easygoing nature is calming her down more ways than she'd initially thought it would. She never planned to cry but she did anyway and it makes her feel weak. Crying in front of a stranger always got her like that but with Nazir, it is totally different. It is as if they've known each other for long and telling him only makes her feel a lot more better.
When they finished eating, they were served ice cream as dessert and hers was Oreo, it reminds her so much of Imad but she pushed it back. She ordered that because she wants it to be the first step of her moving on. The pensiveness and melancholic feelings chocked her up with each spoon but she didn't stop, she won't stop. Imad must be erased from her life and this is the start of the process. If she wants to really move on.
Nazir noticed all those nerves but kept quiet, he wants her to gather herself before he talks about what she's just told him. It makes his chest ache that she is working for her ex husband and that man also rejected her. From everything he's heard about Imad, he's long stopped respecting the man anymore. Albeit younger than him, he's always liked Imad's personality even though he is sometimes too prideful. He cannot just push that behind after finding this out, it is so not what he's thought her past was.
How could he just abandon and divorce her like that because she did something? Yeah, it might be something horrendous and colossal but there is nothing explanation won't solve, absolutely nothing. That is why it is said that communication is the key, he should've used that advice like the businessman he is. Being young and adolescent sure is a disease, Nazir thought. He wouldn't have left her without explanation, he won't be able to move on too if that happens. He would haunt her down and find out everything.
More than anything, he pities Amirah. She's been through a lot and is still standing strong to work for her ex husband while getting bullied and harassed in guilt? She is one strong woman honestly, she stands strong like no other he's met. Her maverick is pinnacled due to the pressure she's endured growing up. She was forced to grow up older than her age.
No one could actually stand that tall after getting collapsed by her own husband. She is the one feeding her own family all alone and started working as a maid at the tender age of sixteen seventeen. On God, he would love to give her a round of applause and salute her for her mastery. If he thinks studying law in Nigeria is enough trial, he needed Amirah's story to denounce himself.
"Amirah." His voice was soft and almost dulcet, soothing even.
He wants to calm her down so she could stop those nervous moves. She was about to bolt out of the restaurant and the sound of his voice proved that. She rose her head in a galvanised way, as if waiting for him to send her way. To send her packing because he found out she is a divorcée and someone everyone know about with vile reputation. They don't have the jurisdiction to think so.
When she calmed down a bit and found out he was not about to chase her away, she answered. "Yeah?"
"I want you to know that your past won't get in between us, hmm?" She nodded slowly, almost child-like. Her eyes filled with an avalanche of vulnerability, the sense of possessiveness filled him. "I don't care what has happened between you and Imad, I know you are a good person and whatever it is that has happened in the past is not because of you neither was it your fault. I'm actually glad he promiscuously divorced you like that, I wouldn't have met you. You are a nice person and I want to marry you still. Whether rich or poor. I want you not your wealth and I assure you, my family will understand."
