It's was time to announce the winner of the competition now and Negina didn't want to do it. She didn't want to do this. But Khalid looked at her and smirked, she couldn't give up. Not now that it was almost the end. She kept going.

"Who think Khalid won this one?" Fereshta did into the microphone. And as if in cue Mansoor, Alex, Alexia, Ariel start yelling and cheering.

"And who thinks Negina won?" And this time Layla, Ameena and Liam were the ones who cheered on Negina.

Negina has lost. She lost by one vote. Mansoor, how could he. Well, Khalid did have a better voice and knew the judges better so she didn't judge any of them for choosing Khalid.

"Ima have to go with the crowd and announce the winner..." Fereshta says patiently, "Khalid!"

Negina frowns and everyone congratulates him. The guys doing fist bumps and high fives while the girl just verbally congratulate him. Negina stood awkwardly as the room goes loud with cheers.

Khalid lets go of the cheering squad and walks over to his fiancé. He leans down and kisses her soft cheek. Negina smiles up at him, just like that she forgets all the offended feelings. "I think you sang very beautifully, love."

The party continues with music, drinks, and snacks, until everyone left. Alex and Alex left to some club with Ariel. Layla and Micheal left because their kids were home alone. Liam left because of a meeting the next morning. Fereshta, Ameena, and Mansoor left without a reason.

Leaving Khalid and Negina alone. Negina expected Khalid to go and have fun with Jasmine or someone of that sort. But he didn't, he stayed with Negina.

She was surprised when everyone left and Khalid went upstairs, and came back with a beer bottle. Negina looked at him as if he was crazy. She didn't think that he would really open the bottle and drink it. But he did.

Negina wanted to run away from him. She wanted to hide in her own bedroom, in her own house. But she couldn't, too astonished to even move she sat frozen with Khalid slumped in the couch opposite of her. Gulp by gulp Khalid got more drunk.

Negina was afraid. She was afraid of Khalid and what he would do after he finished the bottle. She knew exactly what would happen. She knew that if Khalid was under the affection of alcohol he would be capable of anything.

Negina slowly stood up and makes her way to her room. She makes it all the way to Khalid's bedroom door before she is stopped, turned around, and kissed. Her back pushes up against the wall as Khalid kisses her.

Their lips touch and Negina's wishes from earlier were granted. She never wanted to let go of him. She wanted to kiss his lips and stay like that forever. But she remembers that Jasmine was still in the picture and Negina pulls herself away. Khalid's eyes go wide in question. "What happened?"

"You have a girlfriend, I can't do his." Negina says shaking her head furiously. She was still stuck in between Khalid's hands that are flat against the door on either side of Negina.

"Why do you keep remembering her, I'm not marrying her. I'm marrying you. Why is it that every time I kiss you you run away from me and my feelings. Why Negina? Why!" Khalid asks
angrily, almost yelling. Negina closes her eyes to block out his voice and turns her head to the side. She didn't want to hear any of this.
