A Lesson Or A Blessing.

Previously on IELB.
Farouk and Muneenah are officially married, we still are not clear as to how or why. The previous chapter had some flashbacks of a certain he who happens to very often find his way into Muneenah's mind. Towards the end of the chapter, someone with the name Irfan, introduced himself..

"Well, Goodbye pinocchio! See you soon" with that, he disappeared like he was never there before. Muneenah tried following his tracks with her gaze but as more people gathered around, behind him, she missed his departure completely.

Pinnochio! Was he referring to her? Pinocchio! That name..

Arcane,

Meeting,

Resolve.

Later, that Night, Muneenah was ushered to Farouk's section in the villa, almost at midnight, She briefly was shown around by his sisters, who so far were settling, except the one whose name she figured was Amyrah.

Now, as Muneenah stood on the rooftop of this house, she could not help but allow herself to sink into the satisfaction that came along with noticing nature, You will be fine, You've gone through so much, you still are standing, you will be fine..

A voice in her head told her as she raised her head to the twinkling stars, it was plethoric, so very beautiful, Muneenah was so lost in the captivating design of the Almighty, one frivolous thought always crossed her mind every single time she noticed the stars, she'd silently pray to be in jannah , and since everything will then be possible, she will make a sincere request to have a chance to explore the skies and be with the stars and twinkle with the cute creations, and feel those.. The peace, the serenity it would come along with.

What crazy thought for a world that would seize to exist!

Muneenah slowly shut her eyes as she held unto the braces, the tentative air slowly creeping up to her, with each whisper the breeze said to her, Her eyes flinched, and she knew she was slowly slipping into the world she dreaded,

Voices in form of merciless echoes and resonant sounds, filled her mind, and in there, was a crazy she, who shouted and screamed at the world to atleast hear her, in there was a woman who could not take it at all, who was confused, who was at the edge, of falling, But see, the outside temperament had a funny way of closing what truly lays within,

Was this the right thing to do? To get married to him? For how long could she hide her true self from this husband of hers?

That mysterious Irfan that called her pinocchio indirectly? Was it just an innocent speech, or was there more to it?

This girlfriend of her husband that he clearly loves! Why did he just forsake her? Why did he choose her instead?.

Questions, swirled around in her mind. All with no answers, she never really found answers to the questions in her mind , it was starting to get too intense, and like most times she shut her eyes, it became difficult to open them. Struggling seconds passed, she began to sense that fragrance, that cologne as if it was in her world of blur, and that was enough reality to force her eyes open,

She could feel his presence by her side as he walked to her side, and held the glass braces, looking ahead at the beautiful night scenery that blanketed before them, as if no human was standing by his side.
