HLS 9| One Night, Big Mistake

"You know what's the good thing when we made a mistake?" She asked me, tears streaming down her face. It pains me to see her in this state, but what can I do? I did this to her.

"It's the lesson that we gained from that mistake, and you made me realised it. The relationship that we have-had is Harām, from the very beginning I already knew that this is wrong for the Almighty prohibits pre-marital relationship, but I disobeyed, it is because I thought you are worth the sin. And here you are, ruining it just because you got tempted? What the..."

I want to hug her and told her how sorry I am, but how can I, when I'm the cause of her pain. If only I didn't let shaytān win, this won't happen. But who am I kidding? It's actually entirely my fault for despite of knowing that what I would do is wrong, I still did it, not thinking about the consequences. And now, here it is, slapping me hard.

"I'm sorry hun, I wasn't thinking straight that time. I was being drugged and not aware about what's happening on that night anymore. I didn't mean to-" not letting me finish, she interferred.

"To what? To impregnate my bestfriend? I told the both of you not to go to that party because it is Harām, especially there are lots of non-Muslims that will be attending yet you guys didn't listen! You followed your nafs, now look where did it brought you! Our wedding is suppose to happen the day after tomorrow Malik, only two days left and we'll be married but you.messed.everything.up!"

I am so embarrased for myself right now. How can I do this to her? How can I afford to let her hurt this big? Those tears that I never thought will stream down her beautiful face because of me. The woman that I've love for years, still is, is now crying and it's because of me and her... bestfriend.

"I'm calling off the wedding, you should marry her. Be responsible for your recklessness."

Four years of being together turned into nothing because of a one mistake-a one night mistake that will forever haunt us.
