My Divine being🌹

26.

....The next day was a new beginning for Hammad and Malaak. Both were happy, basking in the joy of their newly fixed marriage. Yet, a fear thought consumed Hammad: how would his hyung react to the news? Would he be heartbroken? Would he lash out at Hammad and Malaak for being selfish? Hammad thought to himself, *If I'm selfish for Malaak, I don't regret it. But what about the happiness of my hyung?*

His mind raced. After a long time, Hammad had seen his hyung trust a woman again after their mother and Georgia. The thought of his hyung being shattered once more tormented him. *What can I do? Can I sacrifice my love for my hyung? But what about Malaak's happiness and the promises I made to her—to protect her, to cherish her, and to trust her forever?* These questions were driving Hammad insane, pushing him to the brink.

Lost in his problems, Hammad bumped into someone—Camila. She smirked, her gaze flicking over Hammad's tense form. Clenching his jaw at her audacious outfit, he looked away and muttered, "Astagfirullah."

Camila: "So, I guess Mr. Handsome is engaged now," Camila said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness.

Hammad wasn't surprised. He knew she would find out eventually. He had to maintain his composure in front of this cunning adversary.

Hammad:"Alhumdulilah, Allah blessed me with the best. Any problem?"

Camila:"Why should there be a problem with me? Of course, I'm happy for my nephew, but I'm a little sad for my other nephew too," Camila replied, her voice laced with faux concern.

It fell on Hammad—she was a lowlife, a pure fox who thrived on ruining others' lives.

Hammad:"You don't have to care about our affairs, Miss Camila. We can handle ourselves."

Camila placed a hand dramatically on her heart, biting her lips.

Camila:"Never thought my name would sound that good from your mouth. Damn, Hobi, you're a gem."

Hammad:"Shut the fuc—just shut your mouth. Don't force me to do something I'll regret," Hammad snapped, his patience wearing thin.

Camila:"I've spun a web of my own making, one you can't untangle. You'll die trying," Camila taunted.

Hammad felt trapped, unsure of what to do. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion until a sweet voice broke through the chaos.

Malaak:"Oh, Assalamu Alaikum, Miss Camila. How are you?" Malaak greeted warmly.

Camila:"I'm fine. By the way, congratulations on your engagement," Camila responded smoothly.

Malaak looked puzzled.

Malaak:"H-how did you know that?"

Camila:"Oh, didn't Hammad tell you? He just told me right now," Camila lied effortlessly.

Hammad stared at her, realizing she was trapping him in his own careless things.

Hammad:"Malaak—"

Malaak looked at Hammad, her eyes searching for answers as he sweated anxiously. Before things could escalate, Malaak spoke up, trying to defuse the situation.

Malaak:"He was telling  you Miss Camila about our family reunion. Alhamdulilah, we are about to get married."

Virginia standing there passing by them heard.

Virginia, standing nearby, turned pale. She looked at Hammad with wide eyes, tears welling up.

Virginia:"O-ohh... Congrats to both of you."

Malaak:"Thank you so much, Virginia," Malaak replied with a smile.

Hammad:"Thank you," Hammad echoed, his voice strained.
