I quickly excused myself while my tears filled my eyes and my vision gradually got blurry.
I walked out of the office and ran to the stairs. I felt the rage in my veins and the hatred for Amir slowly build up. I decided on this day that I was never ever ever going to care for him, let alone acknowledge him.
I felt played and hurt as I sat plopped down on the stairs and looked at my shoes.
I let my hands hold my face as I fought my inner feeling to go in and rip Amir's head off.
All of a sudden the door flew open and caught all my attention. I whipped my head only to see Amir standing in the door way.
The soft golden light hit his eyes which in return made them glow a bright emerald green.
My eyes narrowed and I felt my heart hurt as it beat faster. Despite my new found hatred for Amir, my heart betrayed me.
I quickly stood up and felt my hands ball up. "What do you want?"
Amir came forward, "Malak, I'm-"
I nodded frantically. "Yes I know you're engaged to whomever." I quickly bit out.
"To Samra." He finished and his lips became a thin line. I could see the slight sorrow in his eyes but I didn't know if I should believe it.
Samra?
My heart fell even harder and I realized they probably weren't even good friends. She was actually his planned finance. Had he been playing me the whole entire time?
Despite my mad mind, I kept myself cool and calm. "Well congrats." I said. "Have a nice wedding and don't invite me." I quickly spat out. So much for keeping my cool.
I quickly turned around and walked past him. However he reached out and grabbed my arm. "Malak-"
I felty eyes water up as I felt his grip on me. I wish he'd never let go. I wished that this was all a nightmare and that I still have hope to hold his hand correctly and forever.
My heart ached for us but my mind was adamant that this was all a façade.
"I'm going to be engaged as well Amir. I don't think you should be touching something that doesn't pertain to you." I quickly snapped without thinking.
Amir eyes lit up in flames. "What are you talking about?" He barked as he tightened his grip on me. His jaw flinched and his nose flared.
I released my arm from his grip. "Not any of your business I'm sure." I say before I quickly leave him behind. The heartbreak get worse at every step and my tears get drastic.
****
As soon as I get home my mom rushes to my side. I don't think she took notice at how badly smeared the makeup was and how drained I was.
"So what do you say about the man?" My mom held on to my shoulder. I felt like a leaf as she slightly shook me hesitantly waiting for a reply.
I sigh and press my sore eyes. I was numb since I cried my eyes out during my back home. "Fine. Just say I said yes." I shrug and go up the stairs. Feeling the pain in my body at every step I take.
I was going to say yes because there was no hope in Amir. I was stupid enough to think there was. I scoffed to myself as I think about it.
Despite feeling empty, I collected myself enough to take a shower, yank at my messy hair, and get bed early.
I mean I wasn't going to go to work tomorrow anyways because I sent a text to Amir that I was quitting and apologized for the inconvenience . I tried to keep it professional but he started to call me non stop so I just blocked his number and disregard his existence.
