It's Not Meant To Be

"This is wrong," I replied softly.
"What's wrong?" Khalis responded taking a step closer to me.
I felt caged in. My breath became staggered and I had no place to look, but at him.
"Us. We can't be together."
"Why not?"
Taking a deep breath I closed my eyes. "You know why. You and me," I gestured to him and me, "We're not the same."
Bending down, I felt Khalis' breath near my ears. "Prove it."

Being a maid was never a choice of Aima's, but she never complained about her work once. For the past four years, she managed to live her life just fine without Khalis around. But now Khalis has returned to Pakistan and with one look at him, she knows she is doomed. Aima knows how different they both are and that they will never be together, but she can't manage to keep Khalis away from her. And the truth is, she doesn't want him to stay away from her.
