"you said forever?!" she said.
"yeah, but I was wrong, it ends now, here." he replied, flinging the gifts at her face.
Maria hasn't had the best luck in her love life and now thinks love is just something stupid and made up.
But what will happen wh...

"What?" I shouted, slamming my fist on the table, looking at Maryam in disbelief. "My bhai really did that?"
(bhai - brother)
Maryam looked at me, her eyes filled with concern. "I'm sorry, but I thought you knew. That's why I called you, so maybe you can tell him to behave, it's not anyone that he's messing with, it's my best friend, I won't let anyone hurt her and get away with it."
I loved it. I loved the way she was so introverted and so shy in front of everyone else, yet she was a tiger for her best friend. Ready to attack anyone if they hurt her.
"You're right." I said. "I'll talk to Zayn."
"I was hoping youd ring him and we'd both talk to him." Maryam said, looking away awkwardly.
"Oh, I'll do that then." I said, taking out my phone and dialling his number - anything for her.
He picked up on the first ring.
"Yo, Hamza. What's up?" Zayn said, as Maryam looked at me.
"Bhai. I'm with Maryam, she told me everything that happened between you and Maria." I told him. "She wants to talk to you."
"Maryam wants to talk to me?" Zayn asked as Maryam rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I do. Got a problem?" Maryam responded.
There was a silence and I could tell that Zayn didn't expect this. No one would. I didn't believe it either when Maryam rang me from an unknown number and told me to meet her to discuss this - but I guess she was full of surprises.
"What do you want to say?" Zayn asked.
"Why are you marrying my best friend if you are in love with another girl?" Maryam asked, full of confidence.
I could tell his took Zayn by surprise.
"I'm marrying her because I want to move on." Zayn said.
What was he on about? Moving on from a girl that he had promised to marry just two days ago?
"Well. I don't believe you." Maryam said.
"Don't. As long as I believe myself, I don't need your approval." Zayn said.
"Bhai. I'm warning you. Tell me the truth, before I tell mum and dad." I said, threatening him, as Maryam shot me an amused look.
"Mum and dad already know, they told me to talk to Maria's parents. They won't let me marry Aria and I do think that they're right this time." Zayn said.
"What exactly did Maria's parents say to you?" Maryam asked. "Because Maria didn't tell me you came to her house."
"I didn't talk to her, only her parents." Zayn said.
