THE HEARTS REAWAKENING

56: ADOLESCENCE.

I dare you to comment on each paragraph for more updates❤

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

Imad bathed on this expression of his before gesturing that he sits back down on the chair which he did. "Because..." He trailed off, the suspense rolling Nazir to precipice. "She is still my wife and marriage between you two is going to be baseless and unscientific."

Nazir is now catatonic, not moving an inch from where he is sitting because where could he go to? Run away from this and act like a coward or do what? Marry Amirah the next day in an unislamic way? This man clearly made sure everything is going to go as he planned and darn right it is happening the way he wants it. He could feel his chest tightening and then there was anger. But being the sophisticated man he is, he composed himself because one, they are in public and two, in a hospital nonetheless.

Both men with reputation to keep up, that should stay intact.

"You've got to be shitting me, man." Was what he took, taking the safe side that won't trigger his fury. Even Imad could see it, his schooled face, so hot and surfeit with wrath.

"I won't shit you even if I want to. I have nothing against you."

Nazir shook his head, hating the way Imad is twisting the situation. He came straight and forward. "Why didn't you tell her you guys are still very much married? She confirmed to me that you've divorced her the day after marriage. She's done with her iddah since and have the right to marry whomever she pleases."

Imad shrugged his shoulders, his hoodie closing half his face to avoid too much attention to an ex-husband and future one -or does he even have that title anymore? He didn't react the way Imad had wanted him to but then again, the guy is obviously more mature than he could ever be. He is far older than he is too, so it says a lot about them albeit Imad grew up faster than his age being royal and all those shit in between. He didn't expect this educated expression and reaction though.

"What is the fun in it? I wanted to make her suffer and this broken alliance is also one of them, huh?" The sinister grin took place again, Nazir trying his best to stay seated and relax his clenched fists. It is taking a toll, Imad is pushing him to the wall.

Instead of punching the handsome young prince's face, he let out a restrained smile. "You want to make her suffer?" Imad nodded in an obvious way. "And you said you loved her in the past?" Imad nodded again but this time with narrowed eyes, sensing harangue. "I can see why your marriage didn't work out after all. She deserves far better than you."

Imad got defensive, his eyes in slits as if ready to attack Nazir if he utters one more wrong word. He on the other hand cannot hold back when touched, unlike Nazir who wanted nothing more than to ruin his face and maybe a broken rib but held back. What is the use of being violent? It won't change the truth about the reality of him not permitted to wed Amirah in every sense. Whether islamically or not, she is still married to her first husband and doesn't even know about it.

Will she be overjoyed with the news since she said she hasn't moved on from him?

But the past month had been special to them both, getting to know each other through and through. Spending time and spoiling one another with cliché I love yous. There is no way she hasn't felt anything for him in just that month, she felt it and still feels it. How would she take the news of not getting married to him now and she is still married to her ex-husband? The man who clearly vowed to make her life hell and extract all energy from her?

If only he could do something at this moment to protect her from his evil man in front of him. He just confirmed that Amirah wasn't wrong that their marriage would've worked out had he listened to her but he didn't. How could she stay married to him when he is this immature and stupid? Thinking with arse instead of his brains, he's forgotten to keep in his cranium, obviously. Who would do that?
