Completed Hamma... I don't feel like eating." "Noor, eat that food now!" I said, my voice firm and commanding, cutting through the silence. She looked down at her plate, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Hamma, please... I'm not hungry. And... the food is too much for me to finish." "Noor, don't argue with me. I'm not your mate," I replied sharply. "You better eat that food, or I will force it down your throat. Trust me, I can do it." My words hung heavily in the air, a clear and unmistakable threat..... This is a story about two young people who were married without their consent, a union carried out with their parents' approval. ...So technically, it was an arranged marriage from their parents' perspective, but a forced marriage from theirs. He was far too arrogant for her liking, and she was far too stubborn and clumsy for his. Could this journey ever truly work...?
