Marrying the son of Asraf 2

🌿Fifty ~1 🌿

By the time, Hajiya arrived home. She took her bath and got served her breakfast by Amal who was in the kitchen backing a birthday cake for a client. "Mama, but what you did to Sumayyah was not right?" She stated.

Hajiya hissed. "I thought I said! No one should ever utter her name in this house!?"

"Do you hate her that much? You should have listened to the reason why she left?" Amal said.

"I don't want to, the fact that her family even deceived us, do you think it's forgivable?"

"Mama, as humans we need to give people a second chance. We should learn to take the first mistake as a mistake rather than to paint the person just by the wrong he made."

Hajiya scoffs. "Mistake? Don't lecture me girl." She hissed, finishing her chips and drinking her tea as Mr Omar came down the stairs. Since she doesn't want to listen to Amal, Amal decided to get back to her work before her mood changes and ruin the cake.

She overheard how their father was trying to console her mother when she broke down on his shoulder, but the moment he called Sumayyah's name, she treated him like some kind of enemy. It was true that Amal also loathed her, but when Khalil had to explain that she had her reason for leaving and cutting everyone off. It changed her feelings towards the situation because he was calm about it and he is madly in love with her. At that moment, she believed if he had wanted to stop her he would have, but he let her go because he loved her.

She laughed at her thoughts because those kinds of love only happen in movies and this wasn't a beauty and the beast story book. But the question turned around. If Yusuf was to let her go, will that mean that he loves her too? Or without going any further. Arif had walked away from her life, does that mean he left because he loved her? But that is not always the answer. 

She and Arif can not be together and she made it clear to him that she doesn't love him the way he loves her and she would be playing with his emotions the more she lies to him. He did leave because he wanted her to be happy with or without him and she found happiness in Yusuf, hoping that he cares for her and loves her as much as she does.

By the time she finished icing the cake, she stared at the beautiful lily of the valley icing decorated round cake, admiring her work and remembering when Sumayyah had told her that she would be delighted to have her as her apprentice in her restaurant two years before she left and whatever her mother accuses her of, Sumayyah is not someone who can do anything like that, except they don't know if Aisha is capable of or not. But the way she is so obsessed and clingy to her brother, she can not try to kill him.

She shook it off her head, as she continued her cork, packaging and cleaning the kitchen at the same time,hoping she finishes on time, so she could pay her brother a visit. 

On the other side, Aisha was going nuts. Screaming and throwing around the troll pillows, regretting ever listening to Maryam. But instead she hurt herself and her unborn child. She groans in pain as she cuddles at a corner. Hoping to get relief from the pain anytime soon. But the more she thinks about how far she has gone, she wishes to abort the baby, but that will expose her the more. She had to lay low and behave just like a loyal dog to Maryam or it will never end well for her.

"I should have listened to Faisal. Mum and dad were against it. Only Faisal's father agreed and had me married to Khalil. How will they react when they find out the child isn't his? I got his car brake dismantled and chased Sumayyah out of his house. Who will be with me?" She cried herself to sleep in that corner, wishing Khalil would come home, pick her up and take her to their room and lay her on the bed just like he used to do,anytime she sleeps off, waiting for him. But nothing happened except from her dreams.
