WHY MEEEE????

Sixteen

Maryam's POV

Yesterday was the best day of my life so far. Ibrahim was super nice , but yet he didn't apologize for accusing me. I just hope that he will keep being nice.

Ibrahim decended down the staircase trying to adjust his suit. I being the Maryam I am opened my big mouth and talked. "lemme help you." I offered to help.

"get your filthy hands off me!" he yelled. I immediately moved back. What happened to him all of a sudden? He was all nice yesterday fah.

"your breakfast is on the table." I said to him. He didn't spare me or the food a glance. He just took his suit case and left.

What just happened?

What the hell is wrong with him? I wore my slippers and ran after him. I have had enough for now.

"where do you think you are going to?" I yelled after him.

He turned and looked at me, then opened his car.

I held the door stoping him from entering. "enough Ibrahim enough!"

"what do you think you are doing huh? You just married me to maltreat me ne? Do you think I ever wanted this marriage? You are a ruthless and heartless monster, you never care about anybody's feeling. You are just a----"

"shut up!!!" he roared followed by a very hard slap and trust me if I say I saw stars. I can feel his finger print on my face.

I raised my head and looked at him holding the place he slapped me. Tears forced their ways out of my eyes, but I quickly wiped it. I promised myself never to cry at his presence.

He entered his car and zoomed out of the compound. I stood their like a lifeless body until faiza came and helped me inside. I sat down on the armchair in the sitting room and cried my heart out. I didn't even realise when someone came in until he spoke. "Maryam?" the husky yet but sweet voice called.  'He is not your muharram you idiot'
A voice in my head said.

I wiped away my tears. "Naam! I answered.

He knelt down in front of me and observed my face for some minutes. " you have been crying." he concluded after observing my face. "no no, I am not crying, something entered my eyes." I lied.

He smiled and said "you know you are not good at lying, then why try?"

I broke down into fresh tears completely. "farhaan I can not continue like this, I can't. He is a heartless monster, he knows nothing but hurting people. If he doesn't want me, he should divorce me." I sobbed.

"shhhh! Please don't say that about him, he is not heartless Maryam. He just need time." farhaan said.

"time? What time does he want? I have been suffering since before I came to this house,  what time does he need that I don't?"

He sighed and began "the Ibrahim you see as a monster was once like me, funny, caring, troublesome, nice and so on."

"then what made him like this?" I interrupted him. "I don't know wallahi, and no one knows. He started going away from us since anisa came into his life, that's why zaarah always blame her for everything. But I know that there is more to it." he explained. But still,it's not a valid reason for him to treated like shit.

"Maryam, I want you to go and think about this, if you want to stay with him, or want a divorce. I will personally talk to him about it." he said. "but please don't let something like this make you weak. I know you as a strong woman, please never stop trying." he encouraged.

"thank you farhaan, but what did I do to deserve this? You are his best friend, you have things in common." I asked.

He chuckled and stood up. "you did nothing Maryam. And mark my words, Ibrahim will soon come back to his normal self.". I just pray so. "goodbye" he said and left.
