Broken Bride

Chapter 1

Madina's POV

My makeup artist just finished my make up and trust me, she did a wonderful job.

Looking at the mirror right now I am seeing a different woman and she looks pretty. I love what I'm seeing.

I have always been a sucker for makeup. I love it so much. It makes me feel prettier not that I am not naturally pretty.

My name is Madina and I am in my early twenties. I have four siblings and one beautiful niece.

I am fair in complexion, something I inherited from my mom. I have a straight pointy nose, fairly sized eyes and heart shaped lip.

My dad is a business man and he manages his company with the help of my two brothers and sometimes me.

All in all, we are a small happy family.

Today is my wedding day and I am very happy with. Beyond happy to be honest. I will be Mrs Alkali in a few hours.

I met my soon-to-be husband, Malik Alkali two years ago when I went to the shopping mall to get some girly stuffs.

Since then, we kept in touch and we fell madly in love with each other.

After a year, he proposed and I said yes. From there, we did some introduction and that's it we will soon be husband and wife.

Good knows how much I love him. I don't think I will ever fall out of love with him.

Malik is a handsome man that is currently in his late twenties.

I haven't heard from him since yesterday which was surprising because he always call me in the morning and it's almost 2 now.

With that, I decided to call him. Maybe he has been busy. I know my baby will never forget about me.

"Hello", I heard his voice after two rings.

"Hey babe", I replied.

"Erhhmm....Ma..Ma.. Madina I want to tell you something", he said stammering.

"Okay babe, I hope everything is fine?",I asked

"Yes everything is fine", he answered which made me relieved.

There was a long silence as I wait for him to talk.

"Malik", I called his name.

"oh yes.. the thing is I don't know how to say this but I think I don't love you anymore, no, I don't love you anymore and I am very sure of that. I know this is heartbreaking but please forgive me I can't marry you. I don't know how to tell her parents and nobody knows this and I am not going to attend the wedding ceremony. I will leave the country. So please, tell them I called off the wedding at the last minute. I am so sorry and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me" he said and hung up without waiting for me to reply.

I was so shocked that I didn't even move from where I was sitting. I just sat down in front of the mirror looking at my pathetic self.

So this is it. I thought he loved me and that's why he chose me to be his life partner, but I guess no he doesn't love me thank you so much Malik.

I called my sister to help me call Hajja, my mum so I can tell her what Malik told me.

The moment I saw her tears rolled down my face, ruining my makeup.

I sat there looking down at my hand that was beautifully decorated with henna. That made me cry more.

"Subhanallah Madiddi, what's wrong?", she asked me coming close to where I was seated.

I told her everything, "he cancelled the wedding, he said he doesn't love me anymore, he dumped me on our wedding day. it hurts so much and everybody is going to laugh at us Hajja, we will be a laughing stock." I told her in one breathe after gathering some courage.

I kept my head down because I could look at her. I was so ashamed.

"What did you say Malik told you that? he did that?" she asked

"Yes Hajja, he told me when I called him. it hurts so much I continued crying.

"Don't worry my child, he is not the only man in this world. There are a lot of fishes in the river stop crying, okay?" she wiped my tears and hugged me.

"Let me go and tell your father, just wait for me here." she left the room and said nobody is allowed to enter except my sister who came in with her baby girl trailing behind her.

"Stop crying Madina everything will be alright." she said and I nodded.

I wipe my tears and wash my face. I am not going to cry for that loser I told myself.

I can't believe I loved him with all my heart. I still love him and I will forgive him if he comes back to ask for forgiveness.

That's how much I love him.

But he left me BROKEN

I lay down on the bed thinking about all what we promised each other and smile sadly so this is it.

This is the end of everything.

The end of our relationship.

Later Hajja came back and looked at me she smiled sadly, which made my heart thumped.

I don't know what she was about to but I know for sure it was going to change my life and guess what.

It did.
