Prince Heartless

chapter 18: the time where they held a hand for friendship.

So guys i was listening​ to the song cover above while writing the first half & I don't know why. It's called Rains of Castamere from game of thrones. If you hear the lyrics it is a warning from the house Lannister....it's beautifully terrifying. All those who haven't watched GoT...start watching .

Previously on Prince Heartless:
We are almost close. Hey can you answer this to me truthfully?"

I nodded her to go ahead.

"Are you being forced into marrying me?"

Present:

"Are you?" Aairah asked, she had a silent prayer, 'please don't lie to me, please don't lie to me.'

Hamdan hadn't answered her yet, his eyes softened a little "what should I do to make you trust me.?"

"I do not know. We just met and marriage is a big commitment and in this case a huge one. I don't know how to behave with a guy who I'm interested in romantically. I don't dress up all the time. I'm not photo ready. I mean look at me. This is not your type." She motioned with one hand to her body while her other hand rested on the strating wheel.
Shit!! What an idiot am I she thought to her self. I can't show him I'm weak that I'm not comfortable with who I am, or self-conscious although now I am feeling even more.

His silence was a little creepy. What was scary was what he told next.

"Stop the car."

I did as he told me to. I took a slight right and parked on the side of the road pressed the hazard button unbuckled myself and hesitantly turned to face him. And when I did the sight was something I couldn't take my eyes off him. His eyes held so much emotion I couldn't understand, maybe he was trying to make me understand him and...trust him. I knew his eyes couldn't lie after all your eyes are the windows to your soul.

"You may not know me much, but whatever you know of me do you even think I'm that shallow? No I'm not. I am not."

He then just took my hands and held it in his and I really wanted to pull back but his eyes paralysed me, woah...I felt like the entire city of Dubai's powerhouse was blowing up.

He came closer and "You Aairah are one of those few women I came across in my life that have so much compassion and kindness in them that it can melt anyone's heart.your eyes are the window to your soul and they are so pure. Hell you can never think ill of anyone even if they are wrong and did you wrong. Do you have any idea how beautiful that is how beautiful YOU are?.. I know and there are only 2 women who I came across it's my mother and you. I care about you so much that it scares me to lie to you, I would be breaking such a person's heart I know Allah won't forgive me. I just want to tell you that I am with you. Now and whenever you need we me."

I could feel the butterflies flooding in my stomach and I just looked down not wanting the tears to pool. I took a deep breath and looked at him with more courage.

"Hamdan...it's getting late." And with that his once soft filled with yearning, kindness turned hard his eyes went dark and he turned away looking ahead.
"Yes you are right. We should leave."

The whole atmosphere turned cold and the whole ride was filled with awkward silence.

It didn't take us time to reach his palace. The surrounding towards the gate was unreal. Like we were in another world. Anyone to experience this would be lucky and here I am feeling guilty for rejecting someone who wanted to be with me.

I stopped the car just at the security point about 100meters away from the gate. Someone rushed towards the door to open it for Hamdan. As soon as he turned to get out, I turned to look at him.

"Hamdan wait..."
He turned back, his face was dejected but his eyes were cold with pride. How can someone be all this at once. I did something I usually don't do especially for someone who practices Islam...not diligently..but does so. I put my hand forward for him, "I can give something more than love..." I see he has his eye brow slightly raised with a frown creeping. " There is something more than love...its friendship...take my hand and you will never regret it."

His expression faltered a little as he put forward his hand and held mine.
"To something more than love."

"Until the very end." We part ways and I head home. Feeling absolutely weird as in this whole ride made me feel nauseated but in a good way. I found a friend in a prince.

A/N:
So guys that was chapter 18 for you. So this was officially Aairah rejecting Hamdan for good. Let me know wether she should give him a chance, wether Hamdan should still hold a flag for her. Please vote and comment on parts which you liked or surprised you and for overall chapter....show me love by sharing voting and commenting.
