LET ME LOVE YOU

Chapter 45 - broken in pieces

Salam alaikum 😁😁😁 I woke up as early as I could just to update, so sorry for taking long 🤍🤍🤍

Aya

I literally just became glued to my spot at that moment, not being able to do or say anything, pretty much like everyone else.

Asma's jaw was almost touching the floor, Azeeza had both of her hands over her mouth, Shahd was confused, Aleena, Tanveer, Aunty Dida and Maleek were giving me a look of pity, Mama had mixed emotions, Baayi had a look I can't really explain, Layla was visibly smiling despite how hard she was trying to hide, and Hafeez was angry, his hands were balled into fists and eyebrows almost touching each other, he was clearly seconds away from throwing punches and causing injuries, but the reason for that is what I didn't understand.

Him on the other hand...from the moment I turned around, his eyes had been on me, it was like he wasn't even blinking. The look on his face can't really be explained, but it had traces of pain, anger and regret all over it.

Everyone was in shock to say the least, because that was the most unexpected thing to happen at the most unexpected moment in the world, they were all speechless and either angry or Sad while looking at him, while I was just wondering if I did something wrong to deserve going through all of this.

"How dare you come back here?" Baayi's anger laced voice filled the hall, bringing everyone back to reality.

"Baayi I-"

"Shut up!" He put his hand up "get out of my house. I don't want to see you here for another second"

"But-"

"I said leave!"

Despite how calm he sounded, he was actually very pissed off, by the look on his face, you could tell that he was like a ticking bomb at that moment, and honestly, it was scary.

"He goes nowhere!" Another familiar voice made it's presence known, and as if things couldn't get any worse, it was Hajiya's. She strutted into the hall and stood right next to her grandson with that same old expression that never changes on her face.

"Hajiya he's-"

She shut him using her hand "I don't want to hear anything. Majeed will not go anywhere and that's final!"

I may have never seen Baayi angry before, but I'm very sure that he had never been as angry as he was at that moment, and rightfully so, because Majeed brought the only person that Baayi wouldn't dare to go against and used her against him; his mother.

"Please don't tell me you're supporting him after everything he did, Hajiya" said Aunty Dida.

"Yes, because he didn't do anything wrong. He saw a grave danger ahead of him and ran to save himself, which is what every sensible person would do"

"I'm sorry Hajiya but did you hear yourself at all?" Aunty Dida asked, with confusion written all over her face "you just justified how he ran away on the day of his wedding Fatiha and married someone else without any sort of explanation to anybody, not even his own mother" as she said that, I shut my eyes tight for some seconds because it felt like my heart was being squeezed "how on earth are you even supporting him in this? I really don't get it"
