The Villains

Muhamad's family.

One week later .

' I'm going to see my mum , but I'll come back. ' Muhamad said.

' Okay . Take care. ' I said.

' I love you. ' He said , kissing my forhead.

He left.

I was playing with Shahd . She was so adorable .

Ahmad's wife came and she was smiling at us.

' Kids are blessing . ' She said.

' Yeah. I love kids. ' I said.

' I hope you end up with Muhamad. You guys would have the most beautiful family. ' She said.

I looked at her and I was about to say something.

' The way you look at him says it all , Lilia. ' She said.
' When you look at him while he is busy , talking , eating or anything , its like there's a fire in an eye , and ocean in the other. The ocean describes the happiness you feel for having him. And the fire describes the fear. The fear of waking up one day and not seeing him around. And when he walks in and you see him , I can feel how warm your cheecks get and how fast your heart beats. ' She says.

' He looks at you like you put the moon in the dark night sky. And you look at him the way you look at the sun while its setting. ' She says.

The ocean and the fire will always be there.

Muhamad's POV.

I went to our house , knocked the door . My mum opened the door .

' Muhamad!' She shouted with her eyes wide open.

Mariam came and she hugged me . They were so happy to see me. I talked to them and told them about the mountains .

' Mum you need to know something . ' I said.

Mariam was about to leave .

' Mariam sit , you should know it too. '

They looked worried.

' Mum , do you remember Lilia ? Mr.Abdula's daughter. ' I said.

' Yes son . I do. Her mother said that she ran away and they know nothing about her. '

' She ran to the mountains and she was with me. '

' Oh my .. Why did she run away? ' Mariam asked.

' Because her elder brother used to hit her and so did her mother . When her father died she couldn't take it anymore . So she left. ' I said.

' Where is she now? ' My mother asked.

' She is at Ahmad's. When we were in the mountains a guy called Meer was there too. He is Rami's friend , he went back to his own city and he said that he is telling Rami about Lilia . ' I said.

' So Rami could kill Lilia , right? ' Mariam asked.

' Exactly. ' I said.

' And .. ? ' My mother said.

' Lilia spent her days with me there . We planned to come back but I didn't visit you sooner because Lilia said Rami might come here and ask about me . ' I said.

And suddenly the door knocked .

' I'm sure its Rami. ' My mother said.

' Go to my room. ' Mariam said .

I hid in Mariam's room . And Mariam opened the door.

' Where is Muhamad ? ' Someone asked. It was Rami for sure.

' He is in the mountains . Who are you? ' Mariam asked.

' He is not there . I'm sure he is hiding somewhere . '

' Who are you ? And what do you want from my son? ' My mother asked.

' I want Lilia. ' He shouted and then he left.

Mariam and my mum came to the room .

' You should leave Lilia alone. ' My mother said.

' No mum , he shouldn't . She is a good girl and she has done nothing wrong. ' Mariam said.

' I love her. ' I said.

Mum and Mariam were really surprised.

' And I will marry her . ' I said.

' Are you sure? I mean , she looks like a girl that will get you in troubles. We saw what her brother just did , Muhamad. ' My mother said.

' Yes I'm sure.I want to have a family , I want her to be my wife and I want some adorable chubby kids . She loves kids , mum. If you see the way she plays and treats Ahmad's daughter , she looks so adorable with her . And I'm going to marry her and we will go through all the difficulties together. ' I said.

' Ya Allah! Go get the girl that stole your heart and mind then . I'll keep you both here. Rami came once I don't think he'll come back again . ' My mother said , smiling.

' I'll be back in half an hour. ' I said , kissing my mum's forhead. I left.

I was so happy.

Lilia's POV.

Muhamad was gone for three hours . I was really nervous .

' Muhamad is back! ' Ahmad shouted .

I ran to the kitchen and he was there , smiling .

' I have good news . ' Muhamad said.

' Tell us . ' Ahmad said.

' My mother said that Lilia can stay at our house . ' He said.

' Thats awesome! ' Ahmad said.

' And.. ' He said , looking at me with this huge smile on his face .

' And .. ? ' I said.

' You're going to be my wife. ' He said.

I was shocked and happy. Extremely happy. Nothing could describe my happiness . Actually tears did.

He came to me lift my chin up , and looked into my eyes with his big , sparkling , breathtaking brown eyes.

' Are you crying because you're happy ? ' He asked , smiling .

' Yes.. Only tears can describe how happy I'm . ' I said.

We thanked Ahmad and his wife for everything.

' Ahmad , thank you for everything you did . May Allah keep you for your adorable family. ' I said.

' You are like a little sister to me , Lilia. And seeing you happy with Muhamad is all I wanted. I'm so happy for you. ' Ahmad said.

I smiled at him , kissed his daughter and we left.
