That was never It!!

chapter 49

Aliyah's POV

He didn't just say that! How could he? My heart complained.

Well duh! You don't own him. Went my brain. For some reason my brain is always against me, now I get why. My heart is stupid. Haytham is right; I am stupid.

All the pain turned into anger and the tears stopped flowing immediately. I will not walk out of this without a fight. I turned around and faced him.

"Maybe you right, I am stupid." I started angrily. "I am stupid because I believed you, Haytham. That day when you said you will come back, I believed you. And when you said you loved me, I still believed you. I am stupid because even after you lied you will come back and didn't I still hoped you will come back."

He shook his head, he looked hurt but I was too angry to stop.

"I am done, Haytham. I am done with all of your drama just stay away from me, please." I finished and signalled him to leave. He just stared at me for a moment. And then his shoulders sagged.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" I pushed it. I know it was too much but hey, you can't blame me for getting mad.

"You just did that on purpose, didn't you?" He never sounded so serious before. Did I overdo it? Have I hurt him that much?

I wanted to talk but realized I had nothing to say. There was an awkward silence for a minute then he scoffed.

"This is what I get for running after you for all those years," He laughed so hard I felt scared. "So am a liar? That's what you have reduced me to?" I watched as his Adam's apple went up and down.

"Haytham, I didn't mean -"

"It's okay, I get it." Oh no, Is he giving up?

"Am sorry. I really didn't -"

"No, you are right. I shouldn't have.." He couldn't even finish what he was saying as tears started flowing. 

Wait, he is giving up. Why did you have to be so stubborn? Why didn't you just give in!

I wanted to hold him for a moment and whisper into his ears how stupid I was for saying what I did. I wanted to wipe those tears away and put his super cute smile back on his face but couldn't. I had no right to do that.

"Damn Aliyah," He closed his eyes. "You know I looked for you. I have never loved anyone the way I loved you."

"Loved?" I couldn't help but cry when when he said 'loved' instead of 'love'. I was his love but that was in the past. He stopped loving me. It was so painful. He didn't love me.

Haytham's POV

I  was trying to stay calm but it was not working. When she started crying I felt even worse. How do you get yourself out of such a mess?

"I loved you and -"

She started sobbing and I couldn't help it. I walked up to her and wanted to pull her in to my arms but didn't. I mean how could I? She wasn't mine.

"Aliyah." I whispered close to her ears but she didn't look at me. Where did I go wrong? I couldn't understand.

She cried for a while and finally stopped. I watched as she blew her nose and then took a deep breath.

"Am sorry, that was so stupid of me. I shouldn't have cried like a baby." She said and fixed her hijab.

I just stared at her as she started walking away. Why is she testing my patience?

"Aliyah."

She turned around and stared at the ground.

"I don't even know why I wasted my breath talking to you." She looked at me and her green eyes started watering.

"You see that's the problem with you." She looked taken aback by my words. This was good. She was actually listening to me.

"You cry about everything. What is wrong with you?" She bit her lip, probably trying to fight back the tears.

"Excuse me." I said and walked past her towards her apartment.

"Haytham," she called so weakly my heart was begging my body to go back and hug her.

"What?" I didn't even look at her.

"Why are you doing this?" I swear if I looked at her I would have probably give in and lost it. I was going throw a crisis. They was literally a civil war within me.

"Because just like you, I am tired of all this drama. I will end it today." I said and walked in to the house before she says anything.  It was now or never! I am going to fix this.
