11. Trust and Truth🥀

MANAL POV
It's been almost a week since my nikkah and things were actually going great
I have started to.... Feel things for mahd
Which is not a good start because I have to leave
In 35 days to be exact

I don't miss how mahd gets upset when I go shopping for my stuff or how he hates it when I ask him about it and how he felt when I asked him what he will do when I leave

I also didn't miss the 'I love yous' as night when I'm asleep with a forehead kiss
I promise I'll reply one day mahd
Just not right now

I can't afford to get attached right now
I have to leave and not for a month or so
For around 2 years
(She did half her studies here and is continuing the rest in UK)

'Are you ok' Mahd moved me a little
'I've called you atleast 10 times now' he said
He looked a little off
His eyes moist
'Sorry I zoned out' I said with a little laugh

He sat down beside me and pulled me in his lap facing him. He circled his hand around me waist and pulled me closer

He put his in head in my shoulder
'Don't go....please' he whispered
His voice almost broken
Breaking me

'Mahd' I whispered and sighed
Cupping his cheek I made him look at me
'Don't please. I don't think I can live without you' he said looking in my eyes
His eye watering a little

I pecked his lips and hugged him tightly

'I'll miss you too but I have to I'm sorry' I said to him and saw a tear escape his eye

I wiped his and placed our foreheads together
'It'll be worth it. I promise' I said and slid off his lap

I took his hand and pulled him to the bed
I laid down and patted the place next to me
'Come' I whispered and he did
He slumped over me
His head on my chest
His arms around my waist

I heard sniffling and contemplated not going
'I love you' he whispered before he drifted off to sleep
'I love you too' I replied when I was sure he was asleep
