Her eyes widen looking at her father as she tries to refuse it but her father eyes made her stop. They were reminding her of the promise she made to him.
But what about the promise she made to Zafar?.
The conflict between her father who had made her the woman she is today and the man who had been her enemy pushing her to edge who is now someone important to her is crumbling her apart.
There is no way out.
She walks beside Muzamil towards the other side sitting on the bar at the corner.
"I told you we were meant to be". Muzamil said smiling
We aren't meant to be. She thoughts
She remains silent.
"You look like you have seen a ghost I am just your future husband". Muzamil said chuckling
No, you are not. She thoughts
"We should probably get to know each other. Tell me what you like?". He asked again
She didn't speak.
To every question, he asks she didn't say a word. Though she can speak her throat seems too dry to found the words that don't offend her father or him.
"You are so quiet today". He said
She shrugged.
That's a first she have reacted to any of his questions. Not that she doesn't want to she has answers to all of them just the once her family won't like.
While she was in her trance Muzamil holds her hand making her breathing hitched. Her wide eyes turn to him watching him looking at her left-hand ring finger.
"You are wearing a ring on this one?. Shouldn't you be wearing the ring I will buy for you?. You know wearing a ring on this one means you are taken?". He asked
She tries to take her hand away but he didn't let go making her heartbeat frantically, "Let go".
"Remove the ring. I will buy you one". He demanded
"We are not married to be holding hands or demanding things of one another". She said trying to push his hand away
"Calm down, Inaya". He said softly, "Your father said we are practically married so we can do anything".
Her face scrunch, "No, we cannot do anything".
"Yes, we can". He said nodding ignoring her plea, "Holding hand should be natural since we will be doing a lot more than that".
Her heart stopped.
She can feel the panic and the thoughts of those things he is referring to. She hasn't even thought about anyone else but Zafar for everything and to think that someone else will touch her make her chest tighten.
"How long will you keep holding her hand?". She heard his voice from behind her
Her frantic eyes turn to his angry ones glaring at her hand in Muzamil's hands.
"Why do you care?". Muzamil asked
"How long?". Zafar asked again taking a step forward
"You are no one to know about that. Does he know I am your future husband?". Muzamil asked Inaya
Zafar chuckles darkly, "Future husband?. Who?. You?. There is no chance-".
Before he can speak any more words she watches her brother pulling Zafar away from them.
