"I thought you love me, you said you love me" she said admist tears
"I LIED" he replied in a cold tone without soaring her a glance,
"Tell me, its all a joke, look at me and tell me" she pleaded talking a step towards and placed a hand on his shoulder
"Take your filthy hands off me" he snapped and she quickly withdrew it,
"What did i do, why are you doing this, you are hurting me NASEEM, please stop" she cried "i will do anything you want me to, just don't dump me"
"I told you, get over it, am getting married in two days to YUSRAH"
"YUSRAH..... your ex, you are dumping me because of your ex....Na..seem, i thought you hate her, you said you hate her"
"I LIED..." he took in a deep breath "i...i lo..ve her and i want to marry her, so leave me alone ALEESA, leave me alone, now and forever"
His words finally sank into her and she took a step backward, "i will never forgive youh NASEEM, never" with those words she turned and ran down the hill as tears clouded her vision.

"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." I feel my heart squeeze knowing his promise can never come to pass, ever. Death is nearing me so nothing can be done. Absolutely nothing.
