1...2...3 that's how it goes right?
That's how it's supposed to go.... That's how it's always been.
Now imagine if you are told that it's wrong, that's not how it goes, rather it's 2....5....1 or something completely different.
You'd call it a scam right?
That's how I felt when everything I seemed to hold on to since birth, started deteriorating..... Piece by piece.... Strand by strand.... It all felt surreal to me.
But I won't let it..... This wall built won't go down easy.
~~~~~~
Please this is my very first book........ever. I guarantee there will be typos, the story line may possibly stray. But I'll try my best to make it it worth your read

Before you go
"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough. I take a silent deep breath and turn, my Niqab swaying and making a whip sound. "It's not like, they really were nothing! Look, I don't have it in me to explain myself. You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so? Well take a look at this." His eyes fill with tears and he takes one of his hands and place it on his mouth. He can't believe that it's actually true. "Okay, Fa'iza." My heart breaks. He never calls me that, ever. "I know something is wrong, and wallahi I'm going to find it out and bring you back to my house in six months. I promise."
