Chapter 54
I was punching the steering wheel the whole time when I was driving home. The feeling inside of me was not very well, and I didn't like it one bit. I hated it. I hated that I had to separate myself from her. I hated that this had to happen, just because Maher got to know about it. I was so mad at myself. I didn't keep my promise. I promised her that I wouldn't hurt her and that I would be by her side, and look now what I did. I felt betrayed. I felt betrayed by myself just because of this. I was a coward for even thinking of leaving her for such a stupid reason. There were screams when I got home and I rolled my eyes. They were fighting again. I still didn't understand why they were together. I mean, they had zero love for each other and they also fought all the time. You could still have a healthy marriage without love, because when you respect each other and appreciate one another, a marriage could still work. They had zero of these things for each other. I opened the door and saw them in the hallway, my mother in tears. It did hurt me to see her like that, but I shut that thought out. I was used to being cold to them so I had a thick skin. They looked at me and my father started laughing.
"What the heck is wrong with you?" I asked him, not getting why he was hysterically laughing because I entered. It wasn't really funny.
"Cause your timing is perfect. I was just talking to your mother about your wedding after three weeks" he said, looking at me with foreign eyes that he only did when he was like in a competition with me, where only he was playing.
"And may I ask what you are talking about?" I said very formal. I must admit that I had forgotten about the engagement with Hafsa. I wasn't even wearing a ring, heck I didn't even remember her wearing one.
"You, mister Kamal, you are getting married in three weeks" he said, making the anger that I had felt earlier appear again.
"Well, mister Debhi, let me tell you that I am not getting married to that annoying, clingy girl" I said, regretting the insults, since I didn't even know her. He took a few steps forward. His steps were echoing through the whole room since the hallway was really big.
"Did you forget that I saved your friend's kid which I did because you promised you would marry Hafsa?" he said. Crap, that was true. But I wasn't the one to be messed with. I took a few steps forward too.
"People say I look like you. So I followed your steps and decided to not to always keep my promises" I spat back, walking directly to my room. He yelled more things after me but I didn't even bother to listen. When I reached my room, I saw the picture. That picture that always left a pain in my heart. The word 'unfair' was running through my veins, not understanding why. I grabbed the picture in my hands, looking at the two eyes that used to be my sunshine. Now I had put the clouds in front of them, ignoring that the sun was still there.
"I am sorry for not visiting you for a long time. Just wait for me. I love you" I said, hugging the picture.
