Once upon a time (Muslim story)

Once upon a time they fight again

The pair of dark eyes played a twinkling light of danger within them as I stared at it,those were the eyes that had left me with a broken heart few years back yet why did it come back now. I had buried those feelings for theses glorious ocean like eyes deep down in my heart that I thought I would never see them. I felt like butterflies had released themselves from they cocoon and are now flying around in my stomach as it made me sense of nervousness.

Why were these long lost deadly eyes back for? Was it to sprinkle salt onto my wounds that were given to me years ago. My eyes traced a tall tough looking guy from his jet midnight hair to his fancy yet expensive looking shoe. Everything about was so perfect, his solidly built body, his handsome face, his tallness. Everything.

The knots in my throat were unbearable, I could feel tears forming within my eyes and anytime soon it will dash down my cheeks, I didn't want to show him that I was weak and that still cared for him. Stay strong.

"Haya" he spoke, his voice was different it used to soft, loving but now it's deep croaky but sexy. I stared at him as my jaw drop down open to the floor. Just by him saying my name sent a electric shiver to my bones, as my body instantly developed goosebumps. Why did he have such an affect on me. He doesn't even give a shit about me , he dumped me years ago for a bitch who wasn't even worth shit. I know I may sound jealousy but it was true, he left me because his stupid supposedly girlfriend told him to leave me.

Flashback

"Atef guess what Ali got me today" i said as joy came to me just by looking at him, he was wear a white v-neck shirt that had 'New York City' painted on it and tight black Jean, his sweet honey coloured hair was messy, I guess he forgot to brush it this morning. He is my knight of shinning armour and he will alway be the only one I ever love.
"What ?"he said as he lowered his head, I looked at him closely . What was wrong with him? He is never like this. I lift up his chin with my index finger and gave him a frown.

"What wrong ? Why are you sad" I asked as my smile vanishes away instead came a drowsy, sad look. He instantly smile and cleared his throat.

"Nothing, it just that I have to tell you something" he said, I glanced at him in confusion.

"Yeah I'm listening " I uttered hopping of the stool I was sitting on, what did he want to tell? Was he about to tell that he was also in love it's me? Should I tell him first? "I have something to tell you as well, but you go first"I said smiling at him.

"Umm..samira-wants-me -to-ummmm-stay-away from you Because she thinks that you like me and you are trying to steal me from her but I know your not that type of girls and I I love you like my best friend and I know that you love me like a best friend as well. It's just her who thinks the other way...so-sorry" my heart scattered in it thousands of pieces,I was devastated he loved like a best friend only, nothing more or nothing less. Silence filled in between us as I glanced at him not being able to open my mouth to speak.

"A-are d-dumping me?" I asked stuttering in my words, I tried to control my tears from escaping my eyes, there were tangled knots in my throat making it had to breath. My ears couldn't believe what I heard.

"I guess" with that we walked away leaving me drowning in my thoughts while tears ran down my cheeks. I made myself I promise after that day, that I will never fall in love with someone who doesn't care about me. My heart had formed a sense of hatred for him ever since then.

End of flashback

"Atef.." I said in a high pitch voice. I could believe what I was looking at before my eyes, was this him? The atmosphere around us went silent as we both stared at each other's eyes, I could feel my heart beating wildly while gaze at his  marvellous, God given eyes. His dark eyes hid so many secret, so many tragedy but I had this strange feeling that maybe, maybe he loved me other than a friend. I mean why else would he return?

"Haya...umm..Ali sent me to pick you up because apparently your bike is flat" he spoke breaking the silence within us, I looked away from his gaze. I hated him, I hate him and I will alway hate him? How could Ali just sent a stranger to pick me up? I can't go with him, it's forbidden in my religion to be alone with a guy other than a uncle, father brother or husband.

Without speaking a turned around and walked off, I heard him let out a heavy sigh as I he jogged towards me and grabbed me from my wrist. Why is he touching me ? I pulled my hand from his hold as my eyebrows played a angry frown.

"Who the hell do you think you are ? Huh... I warning you Atef  don't ever touch me again or I swear you won't have a peaceful death, or a grave" I threatened him while his pillowy full red lips played a smirk . I looked at him in disgrace as he  walked forward and I retreated.

"Don't you think  you have already tortured me enough" he said, confusion filled my mind. What did he mean ? Anyway I don't care about him anymore, I continued walking away from him. "Where are you going?"

"Home" I yelled, fasten my pace

"By walking " he caught up to me and stood in front of me as I crossed my arms and gave him an angry glare. "Come on stop being so stubborn and just get the car. Are you still angry about what happens years ago?" He asked

"Atef it may be an easy thing for you to forget about the past but not for me, I'm sorry but friend don't just dump each other like that. Just get away from me, I HATE YOU !" I yelled at him. He deserved that, in fact he deserves worse than that. Why would Ali even sent him ? How can he trust that stupid guy that broke my heart ?

I felt my wrist being grabbed tightly from behind me, I looked back and saw him holding my hand, angry erupted inside. I pulled his hand up and bit the back of his it, he immediately let go as I took opportunity to run.

Atef's POV
I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket as I tried to track Haya, but I lots her. Fuck she bite me so hard. I pulled out my phone and took a look at the ID ; it was Ali. Shit what am I supposed to tell him now.

"Yo what's up bro" I said over the phone

"Dude to you recognise Haya, is she okay ? Is she with you?" He questioned

"Dude why are you so worried, I think she old enough to look after herself." I muttered, gazing at her teeth marks on my hand.

"Man she's my heart, she my angel, God dam it she like my daughter, If she scared, hurt, angry or happy I only know and I can only feel it, dud is she okay ? Just answer the fuckin question" he said getting bit violent in his words. Yeah could tell he was a very caring older brother, that's what I like about Ali, he also treats me like a brother and never made me feel like an orphan.

"Umm....dude I know she okay, but she kinda bit my hand and escaped from me, she seemed angry though ..but I'll find her don't worry, trust me" I tried to confront him.

"Fuck man ! I knew it's that bullshit asshole, I'm not going to leave him this time..."he cursed someone, I was confused was she being harassed by some guy.

"Who are you talking about?" I asked

"Jake, his being bullying Haya for the last past years anyway thanks I'll call her"

"Wait Ali"I cut him off

"What ?"

"What's his name again, I'll show him not to mess with her "

"Jake"with that I hanged up and crossed the road to London university, who the fuck does he think he is bullying my queen. No one messing with my queen. No. One
