"What?" Hafsah asked, her eyes widening at Zayden's suggestion.
"Let's go far away and live happily ever after. You can get your passport and I'll book a flight to the states." he replied.
"Are you listening to yourself Zayden? I can't do that to my parents." She shook her head.
"Look Hafsah, life is giving us another chance at love. Let's go away Hafsah, I promise to take care of you." he said, taking her hands in his.
"Z-Zayden, I can't. My wedding is in twenty eight days. Have you thought about the shåme it'll bring to my family? We're talking about my family's reputation here. How will they face the society if I elope with you? They will never be able to show their faces in public." Hafsah told him.
"Since when do you care about what the society says? My family's reputation is also at stake here Hafsah. My father is running for Governorship and don't you think eloping with you will sþoil his name? But I don't care about all that right now. All I care about is you. Us." He tried to make her see reasons.
"Are you listening to yourself? After all your parents did you want to repay them by ru!ning their reputation? I must say I'm highly disappointed in you Zayden." She shook her head. "Please, go your way and I'll go mine. I can't cancel my marriage with Haneed. Not now, not ever."
"Why? Are you in love with Haneed?" he asked her.
"What? I don't know. Don't ask me any stup!d question Zayden. Please for the sake of our families, get married to your Zeena and I'll get married to Haneed." Hafsah replied.
"Okay. I'll be leaving." Zayden said and got up. "Good luck getting married to Haneed." he added and banged the door behind him. Hafsah sighed and called Sameerah out.
"Good thing you didn't agree to elope with him." Sameerah stated.
"What? How did you know?" Hafsah asked.
"My ear was plastered against the door the whole time. It took everything in me not to come out and slaþ his stup!d beautiful face." Sameerah replied.
"Oh my God Sameerah! Did you seriously have to eavesdrop?" Hafsah asked, shaking her head.
"Obviously! Nothing is better than hearing the gist from the source." Sameerah winked and popped a gum in her mouth. Hafsah shook her head and collected a gum from Sameerah.
"So when are we going home?" Sameerah asked.
"In two days. You'll be staying at my place right?" Hafsah replied.
"Of course you f00l! My best friend is getting married to one of the hottest guys in the world duh! I wouldn't miss it for anything." Sameerah said excitedly. Hafsah smiled at her and they went inside to sleep.
It was time for them to go home and Hafsah and Sameerah packed all of their stuff. Hafsah's father sent a driver to pick them up. He didn't want his daughter getting exhausted, her wedding was soon. The driver arrived and helped them to put their luggage in the trunk.
"Thank you." Hafsah told him and got into the back seat with Sameerah.
"Ba komai (no problem)." he replied and took off.
Hafsah and Sameerah fell asleep the moment the driver took off and by the time they woke up, the driver was honking at the gate to their house. Ibrahim opened the gate and let them in.
"Welcome home ma'am." Ibrahim greeted Hafsah.
"Thank you uncle." she replied. Sameerah greeted him too and they walked inside, letting the driver and gateman bring their stuff.
