CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE; MOMENT OF TRUTH
Like usual they sang after her as she sang the compound's song, Faaris felt his soul calm down after hearing her voice after a long time and it gives him a stronger feeling except that he knows it his Hijabi girl that is singing it.
"Alright everyone, this is a new song I wrote not long ago I hope you love it"
"I saw you again but this time clearer than ever,
I didn't know how but you took my soul with you yet I can't call you mine,
Something seems to be holding me back, the worst is that I don't know if you are to hold me forever or are you here for some minutes only.
I don't want to fall deep only for you to leave me,
Leave me while you can,
When I cannot hold you back, leave me when you can, when you can" It was like she was directly talking to him. He stared at her as she touch the strings of the guitar the melody flowing around especially with piano sound but all that his mind is on is the hijabi with the guitar.
"I saw you in the dark but you the light for me and I knew I can never let you go,
But what can one do when there is a fear of been broken,
You crossed all the lines and walls I build yet I can't call you mine,
They say only love can hurt like this,
But why can't it be without hurt,
Just so you know, I know it, but I can't help it,
Now it feels like poetry talking about you.
Can call you mine or this isn't forever,
But I am already sad thinking about when you will leave.
I don't want to fall deeper only for you to leave me,
Leave me while you can,
When can't hold back, leave when you can
Don't let me break all apart,
Leave when you can, when you can!!!" It ended with the drum and piano instrumental, she let out a breath and opened her eyes most of the people have tears in their eyes. She blinked her own tears away as they started clapping but she only looked for Faaris, she stopped when she found his eyes. It held so much emotions that she feels like giving him a hug. She looked closer as he mouthed something.
"I am not leaving" She repeated what he said and understood it, she nodded her head as they both smiled.

Faaris walked around his living room thinking about his sister and his best-friend's sudden wedding. He is confused about the sudden wedding especially that they willingly agreed and his mother isn't behind it. He looked back at the living room where they are staring at him waiting for him to react but he just sat there quietly.
"Can you please say something?" Said Nihaal looking at him
"Why didn't you tell me you two were in-love?" He asked turning to Rashid
"Because you are always busy for us" He replied
"But something that important, I could always make time for it"
"Yeah but I was scared man, we all grew together and I knew how much you love her and then I your friend tell you I love your sister-" He trailed off and kept quiet, Faaris sighed and stood up.
"Y'all are being dramatic for no reason, I might be bad at understanding feelings but you two glance at each other all the time" He chuckled shaking his head as they stared at him their eyes widening.
"You just chuckled with us" Pointed out Nihaal, he raised his brow looking at her as she jumped and hugged him.
"I missed you Faas" She whispered, he patted her head and she let go of him
"Now one more problem, how to get Alishaa to come to the wedding" Said Naadir
"Yeah, I already spoke to MamaNadee and she has no problem" Said Faaris
"And we didn't tell you the news of your wedding has spread around and Aunt Maraam is furious" Said Rashid, Faaris sighed thinking about the situation. He doesn't want his mother to give Alishaa a hard time but also knows he needs Alishaa there if he is going back.
"I will talk to Alishaa" He said
"Alright then, we will go back home now" Said Naadir, the other two nodded and they left. Alishaa walked out of the room her dress looking a little wet and her hair sticking on her face as they escaped the loosed Hijab.
"They left?" Faaris got out the trance of admiring her beauty and nodded his ears becoming slightly pink. She looked at him raising her brow which replied to by shaking his head.
"I didn't realize it is 8"
"Yeah time flies" He replied
"Okay you are acting weird, what is it?"
"You heard about Nihaal and Rashid's wedding?"
"Yeah, I am so happy for them"
"Well we have to go to Lebanon"
"Why are you worried? I wouldn't die without you"
"No we as in me and you"
"I can't go there"
"Why? You are my wife Alishaa I had the wedding away from my family, they at least have to meet you"
"No, I am not going back there, no"
"You said you wouldn't let your past stop you anymore"
"Yes but I never said I want to go back"
"It is alright I will just apologize I cannot attend the wedding"
"What?"
"You don't expect me to go alone right?"
"But Faaris it is your sister's wedding" She said slowly
"I told you I will be with you, so I can't leave you besides Mama-Nadee is going so-"
"Mama is going?"
"Yeah she told me earlier" He prayed silently as she kept quiet
"I will go see Mama?"
"Okay" He replied, she walked to the door. He sat down on the Sofa waiting for when she will arrive, praying she agrees. An hour later of working he got worried and stood up to go check on Alishaa when the door opened. His eyes softened seeing her red face, before he could say something she walked quickly towards her room.
He stood there not knowing what to do, he locked the door and walked around his living room still not knowing what to do. After some minutes he walked to her door. He heard her sniffles and debated whether to knock or not but her cries are really disturbing. He slide down the door and leaned on it.
"Are you okay? No it should be what is wrong?" He asked after a while, he heard her sobs again but she didn't reply
"I am sorry if I caused it you don't have to go if you don't want to" She heard his voice again she got up from the bedside where she sat down and cried. She walked to the door and opened, she saw him falling down.
"Sorry didn't know you were there" She said outstretching her hand for him, he took it and got up, she turned and walked to the couch and sat down, he followed after her and sat next to her.
"You are not at fault, don't beat yourself over it"
"Even if I am not the cause of it, I cannot see you crying it breaks me" She looked at him as another tear escaped her eye. With shaking hands he took her own in his.
"You were always nice and there for me, it will only be fair if I tell you what is wrong"
