Someday Soon. By Hassanab

Chapter nine

It was a thirty minutes drive and my only companion would be the radio that was playing my favourite's track but I was forced to remain silent.

So has not to embarrass my self any further. All I could do was  stare at my phone giving the impression that I was surfing the web.

Glancing at the passenger to see that she was fast asleep, her face was free from worries and a slight smile  tugging her lips
she look so carefree and for a moment I felt my heart wavering.

I brought my hand towards her face and was only a inch from her when she stirred has I quickly withdrew my hands clasping the steering wheels tight.

I composed myself before calling her, which she answered by jolting awake has she look at her surrounding adjusting herself .

We exited the car and decided that our first stop will be the jewelry shop, I felt so uncomfortable due to how exquisite every item looks, we where attended to by a sales rep that had a really warm smile making me feel at ease.

What's your specification sir? she asked as she showed us various forms of rocks.
its her decision Amir replied urging me to make a choice, its still felt surreal so I just pointed to the ring with the smallest rock.

Excellent choice i must say as the assistant chipped in has she hastily opened the transparent box and brought out my choice explaining to Amir that it is white gold and how valuable it will still be in years to come due to how limited it is in supply.

I let out a yawn has my head hit the pillow wiping the tears from my eyes as i closed my eyes feeling the comfort that my bed offers has I was already worn out due to today's activity.

I woke up due to the series of taps on my door, as I got off the bed to see the person at the door, and was surprised to see my brother.
I invited him in and offered him a seat.

How are you doing? he asked his voice  laced with sarcasm.

Great! I replied and what felt like hours went by when in reality it was just a few minutes  before he broke the silence by clearing his throat  and asking me how I felt by this alliance.

Does it matter about how I feel    it's there decision to check whether he is a good match or not.

His face welcomed a new emotions that broke my heart knowing truly well that am the cause of the worry etched on his face.

Never in a million years would I have ever imagine my baby sis hiding her true feelings from me, his eyes was filled with sorrow has he blink trying to hide how dejected he felt by smiling has he  masked his emotions, not before I caught a glimpse of that.

I felt my body shaking as I started sobbing vigorously, I felt the bed dip has he sat by my side allowing me to cry my heart out, has he gave me a tissue.               
I excused myself to the bathroom to blow my nose and clean my face.
I stared at my reflection, my eyes where bloodshot due to the crying there were dark circles below my eyes and my nose was  pink from crying.

My body was fully drained and I was emotionally exhausted.

I packed my hair into a loose bun before leaving the bathroom.

Sorry for ruining your shirt, pointing to the dark stain that now appeared on his grey shirt due to me crying on his shoulder earlier, he waved it off by saying it was nothing, he motioned me to come take a seat has he sent me a puzzling look  that he used to use when I misbehave during my early days.

"Spill"  he told me using that tone that leaves no room for argument .

So i shifted trying to find a comfortable position, has i narrated everything to him leaving nothing behind.
