Malik & Jasmine's POV
Why you wanna see me? he asked her. She walked into his hotel room throwing her bag on the table near his fire place.
Nice room.....she said with a deep sigh it seemed like it was a relief, off her.
Thanks he replied with a smile.
Why is there a stripper Pole in your room, she asked.
Wait did you come to criticise me he tried to defend himself.
Just curious she said. I need water she added.
Go get it in the kitchen he said walking towards the bedroom from the door. She was also walking from the fire place room the kitchen. So they crossed each other's path, causing her to trip. Then he broke her fall.
(Silence reign)
Still in that position she asked, Malik what the hell happened to us.
You dumped me he said, letting her go and entering his room.
(Sad song playing)
He came out few minutes later. So what brings you here, he said opening his journal.
What's that for, she asked.
I'm very sure you came here to talk about Yasmine's accident. So anything you say against my client (Jafir) will be written here, he explained with a smile.
Wooh.. Wooh... Woh, what happened to Yasmine was not an accident. Jafir had them kidnap her, Jasmine yelled.
Listen to yourself, Malik said mocking her. And why will jafir kidnap his own wife.
I don't know maybe to get her out of the way. so that he can go back to his Mahi, Jasmine said.
Oh..... My... God! Malik screamed. Jafir will never do that.
We have already explained that the kidnapping was meant for bazibat. Bazibat dressed up like Yasmine so as to confuse the kidnappers. And Yasmine was kidnapped.
Don't believe that, because at that time jafir was with Mahi having dinner, Jasmine argued.
So.....it was a coincidence, Malik defended it. I don't even get why you guys are angry at jafir, he added.
Because, Jasmine said standing up to get her bag. He promised to protect her from his enemies,
Was on a date with a side chick, and she was auctioned by the kidnappers, she added.
At least he saved her and was even her highest bidder for 24 diamond rubies, Malik defend. He even caught the kidnappers and beat the crap outta them, he added.
Shame!!!..... Jasmine screamed slamming the door behind her.

Yasmine's POV.
I had a fight with jafir.I didn't see him or his friends till our final engagement. The day finally came and I was still mad at him. The imam said I was getting my Sadaq that night, meaning I'll go home with him. What?! He wasn't even there, at the engagement

The house he got for us was magnificent it was wow. Then some people came in with a dozen of sparkling water. They said Jafir was on his way, I so didn't care. I took a bottle and went to the poolside, for fresh air still in my wedding gown. My dad sent me a text that my Sadaq hasn't been payed yet and he couldn't come get me, it's was too late. I should just stay over at Jafir's. And that Jafir was also aware the Sadaq hasn't been paid.

Things got dizzy and unclear. I could still think straight but things were usual so I went for another bottle, when I saw Jafir come in. Hey, he said, smiling. Walaikumsalam, I said taking another bottle and going back to the pool. You haven't taken your wedding dress off he said, sitting beside me. Can I have some he said, trying to collect the bottle. Go get yours I said pulling it away. Fine, he came back with three more bottles.

After 10 minutes of awkward silence he apologized to me and we started talking, we both were stammering and didn't know why.
Why.....didn't you just tell me you weren't coming, I asked jafir.
I'm sorry Yasmine, he said.
You left in the engagement! I yelled. Jafir if I didn't love you I would have wrecked your life a long time ago.
Yasmine, I'm sorry please don't do that, he pleaded.
Is it me or is this drink tasting off, I asked.
Nope it perfectly fine, jafir said taking a gulp.

We called everyone in our lives idiots, that night. Then I forgave him.
But next time Jafir, I won't. Remember no more glitch.
No more glitch, cheers,he said.
We laughed over that which brought an award moment.
Jafir was getting so alluring to me, I could feel my heart beat drumming really hard.

Jafir maybe we should stop drinking, seriously I think this stuff is Kamr (alcohol), I said.
You are Kamr, he said. That made both of us laugh.
Seriously check the bottle, I said
He checked it was non alcoholic and it was smelling fine.
Okay but we don't smell well, I said
It's getting hot Jafir, I said losing my veil. Wow calm down young lady, he said.
Get up let's go inside.
He took me to my room, dropping me on the bed gently.

This brought another award silence. We just stared at each other, with his face close to mine. My heart was racing when he dropped me the look in his eyes were tempting. Well have you recieved your sadaq he asked. No I said, with a very soft voice. He leaned in a little more. well that's a shame princess, he said helping me take off my shoes and staring in my eye.

(Slow music playing)
Then my phone buzzed. Won't you check your..... Message he asked. Well they can wait, I said pulling his neck closer and then we started kissing. My veil dropped from my hair, my heartbeat increased.
(Intense music playing)

Yasmine,........ Uhmmm Yasmine, he called out my name, good night he said. He got up and walked to the door, he stood there for quite a long time. Then I came to hug Him from behind. Our hearts were racing at the instance of the embrace.
Oh subuhanallah we should not do this, he whispered. He turned kissing me again, pressing his lips against mine, slowly getting us active. Then he clapped and the lights went off.

Affan's POV.
Early that morning after Fajr. I saw Yasmine run into the house. Daddy we need to talk, she said with a trembling voice. She told me what happened that night, with fear as she held her tear glands not to cry. Every inch of her body was apologizing. As her voice trembled, her lips and finger shaking. Her arms and legs remained firm. She had sweat at the neck of her hijab. Yasmine had lost composure to explain herself for the first time. Wow she had done something really bad.

I was mad. I scolded her infront of her siblings for the first time. I shouldn't have actually. I knew it was a mistake, but still her love for jafir, recently was tag on social media as an obsession. I had warned her about that. Yet it still happened. God damn it, she said. That's when I was certain that she was sorry. Inallilahi wa ina illaihi rajiun, I just committed zinna!, she exclaimed

We had gathered around to pray against the evil eye, when Jafir walked in, calling her name. She stood behind me immediately. Yasmine, please stop running away, he said I'm sorry. Jafir, you should go, I explained. What has just happened can't be fixed with a sorry.

Then he screamed, that it wasn't he fault. Yes It was mine, Yasmine said. Now please go, you never take blame for anything, right?....Jafir? She asked with regret, flowing through her.

No, it's not your fault Yasmine... It's.... It's Mahi's, then he explained. After Yasmine ran away. He took the drink to a lab. They said the contents of sparking water had been mixed with strong alcohol and a large amount of horning pills. Sherrif had gone to the factory with cops, were it was shipped from to arrest them that morning. They also found out that Mahi had paid them to do it.

Now it made sense to me, but Yasmine.. No. It only got her mad. She was mad because, it was one of his enemies," he calls friends " Who had hurt them again. She refuse to reason with him. Jafir stay away from me, she said. I can't, he said you live with me now. We are already married, I've said your sadaq, jafir said and look.........he, he said with a smile moving close to her but avoided his touch. Just leave her alone, Sunni said. After what just happened you expect her to just forgive you. You can't just tell her what to do, Jasmine said. So far, my client has completed the marriage events with Yasmine and has paid her sadaq, he can ,Malik explained. Shut up,  Jasmine, said with a glare at Malik and where is Mahi now? jasmine asked. Jafir sighed at the instance of that question

You guys really have no shame, summayyah said. Jafir you didn't even do a proper apology to your wife's family, she added and you just wanna take her away. What more apology could they want? Zayad asked. An apology for everything they have been through because of us, and every thing they are going through now, Zafrina said taking our side. Zafrina! Arab yelled. It's true, Jafir said. Yasmine, Mr. Affan and the entire Affan family, I'm Sorry. Everyone accepted his apology, except Yasmine I knew she didn't. The amazing thing was that she wasn't crying. I asked Rayan why? He whispered in my ear, she never cries and besides she ain't sad, she is angry! If he takes her home. He is only taking home a weapon to end him, Rayan explained. I love it when she plays, cool it's deadly, he added with a chuckle.
