I put the grocery bags down after coming inside the house, setting my keys on the counter and placing the bags on the table, putting the stuff away, until I heard a voice.
"FATIMA, FATIMA!" Mama was calling me, hm I wonder what for and why did she sound excited as well?
"Yes mama? Ana in the kitchen Mama." She came in holding two papers.
"We're going! We're going to Jerusalem, to see your cousin get married!" That's when my whole world crashes down.
I'm going to Jerusalem ...that means I have to see my cousin Samer, whom I've avoided for 5 years, since I was 16. Ya Allah help me through this. I even remember when I left Amman 5 years ago, and let's just say that it didn't end well between a 16 year old and a 21 year old.

"Zaroon, Don't," I said pushing his arms away.
"Why not?" He asked acting clueless like what he was doing won't get us in trouble.
I stared at him in disbelief "Zaroon" I warned
"Jannat," He said smirking and mocking me.
"We can't do this" I stated looking away as he got closer.
"Why not? I'm your husband. You're my wife" He said that. He literally said that. Why? Why is he acting like he didn't hate me last month? Why is he acting like he isn't getting married to Falak?
"Not completely. And I'll never be your wife completely. Ever" I said as tears started forming in my eyes and I got angrier.
