Yazid started developing feelings for Maryam in his teenage age, but he had no courage to rely on his feelings for her. The happiest day of his life was when his mother told him he was going to marry her; not knowing_ trusting his mother will lead to everything going wrong.

The weather could not have been better; it was a cloudless and warm day with no wind. Maryam and Yazid sat on the chairs surrounding a table outside the house.

Ladidi walked to them keeping a tray with water and drinks, and a plate of cookies, she left after arranging everything on the table.

"Ya Yazid, thank you," Maryam said.

"For what?"

"For helping me with the gate, kasan gateman in ne sai a hankali, bai fiya zama ba (You know how the gateman is, he never stays)".

"Basai na kawo muku wani ba (I can bring another one for you)," Yazid replied.

"We are already familiar with this one. It's another trouble to bring another one,".

"Yes, All gatemen are kinda the same, that's true,".

As their eyes met, a sweet smile glided across her lips. Yazid gazed at her lips, he loves seeing her beautiful smile, it reminds him how much he loves her. She made him feel like there were only two of them in a beautiful world and no one else.

She is the reason why he knows what love is.

He spoke after clearing his throat. "Maryam, I would like to apologize sincerely for what Mama and Shukrah did to you.  It isn’t fair and right. This won't happen again I swear...,"

She stopped him midway "Ya Yazid, It's kind of you apologizing for what you haven't done. You don't have to apologize to me because you haven't done anything,".

"I know...,". He was going to say something, but she cut him off again.

"Let's not talk about it,".

"As you wish. Maryam... I would like to let you know that I love you,".

She looked at him dumbfounded and wondered if she was confusing what he said with something else.

"It has been a long time since I fall in love with you. I couldn't tell you, but I am madly in love with you. Now I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for the rest of my life,"

Maryam stayed silent and can't comprehend what he was saying, he was in love with her. She didn't see any signs. He treats her like a sister, and that is how she sees him, and she adores and respects him as her big brother.
