Inaya sat beside Zain her head hung low her face pale as if drained of all life. Her gaze remained fixed on her lap refusing to meet anyone’s eyes. She looked fragile broken even and Malik’s heart ached at the sight of her.
How much pain could one person bear? He couldn’t understand how she endured it. Every moment he watched her suffer a piece of his own soul shattered. He clenched his fists desperately trying to hold himself together.
At that moment, an uncontrollable urge surged within him to take her away far from this suffocating reality. He wanted to pull her into his arms shield her from the pain and promise her that she was his just as he was hers.
But he couldn’t. Not now. The guests were leaving and the ceremony had come to an end. Only Zain’s parents and Malik remained in the room.
Inaya was unable to bear the suffocating atmosphere suddenly she rose from the couch and slipped out of the living room unnoticed.
No one paid attention, too engrossed in their conversations. No one, except Malik. His sharp gaze followed her as she disappeared into the garden.
He didn’t think twice before following her. He found her standing under the open sky her face tilted upwards as she stared at the stars.
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears but she wasn’t crying. The sight tore at his heart. He walked closer his steps cautious his emotions a storm raging within.
Without a word, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her into the safety of his embrace.
She froze for a moment, feeling the warmth of his chest against her back and the strength of his hands around her shoulders. Slowly, she turned her head her teary eyes meeting his.
"I’m here, Inaya" he whispered, his voice low and trembling. "If you want we can leave. We’ll go far away from all of this from everyone."
Her voice cracked as she responded, "I… I can’t run away like this, Malik. But I can’t live without you either." Her sobs broke the fragile silence, her pain echoing through the quiet night.
"I know" he whispered, his voice heavy with emotion. "But we have no other choice. I can’t see you like this anymore. Watching you with someone else is killing me, Inaya. My heart… it’s tearing apart."
"What should I do, Malik? I don’t know what to do." Her voice quivered with desperation as she looked up at him. "I just know that I can’t live my life with anyone else. I want to be with you. Only you."
"We’ll make it work, Inaya" he said, cupping her face in his hands. "We’ll run away. We’ll live the life we dreamed of together. Our house, our children… I’ll take care of you like a queen. I’ll give you all the happiness in the world. Please, Inaya. I can’t live without you."
