Through her eyes

chapter 3

*Hayal*

The day for "All together" event has arrived finally. I'm really nervous more than ever. I know how crowdy it's going to be.

I wore a red long dress, paired it up with a beige hijab. Ahmad wore his black suit as usual.

"Ready?" He asked.
I inhaled a deep breath "i think so I replied".

He opened the car door for me as he usually does. They said husband's only open the car door for their wives when the marriage is new but I don't think so. He always open for me as long as we are going out together.

We entered the back sit and wait for the driver to arrive. Ahmad sent him to pick up some important files.

Maryna palace is the place were the event will be Hosted. It's extremely luxurious beyond my exceptions. I cannot believe it's happening.

We arrived in our roll Roy's and I looked through the window.

"You can do this" Ahmad said as he hold my hands.

"I have you by my side, I can do anything" I replied with a smile.

I step out with my right leg and then I felt intense anxiety. The press quick head towards us and I felt like going back home.

Mr Ahmad this, Mrs Ahmad that... I can't even hear them clearly.

Ahmad came around and extended his hands to me. I stretch my hands and we walk in together.

"I didn't expect the place to be this full" I whispered.

"Of course it will be, this is the most expensive Event hosted this year. I'm proud of you" he said with a smile.

We walk towards the crowd and greet many people, a lot of rich people and celebrities I never thought of meeting before.

I wasn't able to eat anything because I thought it will prevent me from speaking well. I have been a smart person through out school. I love conferences and public speaking but not everything. It can be hectic sometimes especially am event like this.

After a few speeches and presentations I was called to give speech a the organization.

"You can do it my love" Ahmad whispered.

I walk towards the stage majestically and started speaking. I felt nervous all of a sudden. I look at the crowd and my eyes fell into Ahmad's eyes. I felt motivated, he is my biggest supporter.

I gave speech about the organization and all the donations we received.

Then I had to talk about the reason why I started something huge like this.

"We need to be there for people struggling in silence, people who feel ashamed of their disease. Cancer is not a curse, it's a disease and every disease has a cure. Everyone deserve access to good medical care" I added.

Immediately after my speech the press started interviewing me.

"We heard you lost a friend to cancer too. How can describe that pain?"

"I can't explain... Only the people that experience know it"

I tried to get out of the crowd but the press weren't allowing.

Ahmad came and hold my hands and we started walking.

"Mrs. Ahmad why didn't you ever talk about that loved one you lost to cancer? There are some rumors saying..."

"Please friends... Thank you for today, i hope I was able to answer your questions"

We quickly walk away form the press and I felt a huge relief.

Ahmad gave me a blank look and I did the same.

"The rumors are still going" he said.

"I don't know who is behind this and why they keep saying nonsense. I don't want talk about it for a reason. She is died but it feels like she is around me all the time" I said as my eyes start watering.

"Don't cry love. You don't have to talk about it. You're doing this for her too but she was so unkind to you. You're a good person"

"I don't wanna talk about Leyla, I just don't want to. I am ready to do every charity on her name, I'm ready to provide help for people like her. But I want all the little talks to stop"

"It's okay love" he hugged me.

Salim, Ahmad's assistant walk towards us and we pull away.

"Something very important" he said.

"What is it?" Ahmad asked.

"It's about Mrs." He said.

Ahmad take the iPad and ordered salim to leave.

We looked at the latest article published about our event and it was so full of hate.

Many things written "Leyla was hayal's best friend for ages but she never said a single word about her after she passed away. They get extremely rich and popular in such a short time. How is that possible? They're hiding something to us about Leyla. Leyla was innocent. People should stop taking Ahmad and Hayal as Idols, they're just two humans with secretes and we will disclose them".

I quickly turn off the iPad

"What the hell is this?" I said with Anger.

"People hate seeing others happy" he said.

"But who published that nonsense?" I asked and he checked.

"Naila Umair?" He said

"Naila Umair? I heard that name before but I can't remember"
