Chapter Fourty.

Dasuki State, Nigeria

2022.

Today is Maria's conveyance to her groom's family, yesterday was her Nikkah and she is now officially Mrs. Imran.

Nini was on Umaimah's throat to make it up to Maria and go to her Conveyance, she agreed to go even though she didn't feel like it.

Nini peeled potatoes while Umaimah rinsed and sliced them. Whenever Nini goes into the kitchen she makes sure to take Umaimah with her so she'll learn how to cook better than she already knows how to.

"You are really slow with the cutting, i peel two before you even finish slicing one fah, Umaimah."

"I'll be faster, Nini."

"Yeah, we need you to be fast because you have to escort Maria to Abuja today." Nini dropped another potato in the bowl before Umaimah. "You have to be there by 9:00 because they're leaving by 9:30 no African time."

"Yes, Nini."

"Umaimah look at me," Nini said keeping the potato and peeler by her side and focusing her all on Umaimah. " I know what you're feeling, trust me."

"You still can't wrap your head around everything that's happened, same here. But don't worry, he'll divorce you whether he wants to or not okay?"

Umaimah nodded. They've all been telling her this but then do they really know Asad, will he miss an oppurtuntiy like this? She's trying her best to be positive but the harder she tries the more harder it gets to keep trying.

"Nabeel. you love him don't you?"

Umaimah stuttered. "No, Nini, I'm a married woman, I'm not supposed to," She broke in tears.

She already feels like a sinner, A married woman hugged a guy who's not her mahram, the guy she's in love with-head over hills.

It is too much for her to handle, all of it. The love, the marriage heck everything.

Nini sighed." Keep calm for now and stay away from him but when you want something and you're sure it is worth it then fight for it, don't let go easily. I know Nabeel likes you, i feel it. He's just denying it, make him confess it."

"Nini, please let's not talk about Nabeel or even Asad. Please." she wiped her tear and kept slicing silently.

Nini didn't say a word again, she picked up the peeler and potato again.

In no time they were done and walked back to their room to dress up and come back for breakfast.

Umaimah entered her room and fell on her bed. This whole thing is overwhelming and consuming, how and why is she feeling heartbroken? F But then does Nabeel really like her? It's just a facade right? She really wishes that he's denying it.

She has denied it far too much for more than a long time already. But then realization has dawned on her already, she's in love with him hopelessly- Nabeel Shamaki. But then what if Asad refuses to divorce her?

She'll try and stay away from commiting another sin which is avoiding Nabeel, Because after that hug which they shared-he was right, his arms felt safe, heck soft. She wants to be in there again, feel his hands wrapped around her. When she's there she feels like no danger will ever befall her.
