Chapter 38

Safeeya's POV

Waking up, the bright sun shined into my red puffy eyes and all I could feel was a throbbing headache. I looked over to the side of the bed and saw that rahmat was not there, which meant she had gone to work.

I stretched my arms a little and walked over to the mirror where I stared at my pale reflection, I looked like someone who had been beaten by an Angry mother, speaking of mother, I miss my mum, the last time I Spoke to her was three months ago, I had made her promise not to tell anyone about my whereabouts and she promised not to.

After the Staring contest I had with my reflection, I decided to make my way into the bathroom, where i scrubbed my body like I have never done before, I brushed my teeth and came out, then I got dressed into one of rahmat's palazzo pant and a plain white tee-shirt, which i tucked in Properly. I was off salat so I didn't bother to pray.

Wanting a little of nature's peace, i decided walking out and heading to the garden where I sat on the bare grass.

The cool morning breeze blew in my ears and I breathed in and out in serenity. I felt light headed, my mind felt empty and all I wanted was for the wind to make me fly away in it glory and peace.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I heard A familiar voice, I opened my eyes slowly to meet Aadil seated next to me.

"About what?" I whispered, I spoke in the same tone as his.

"your husband" He said,

"What about my husband?" I asked and he turned to look at me.

"safeeya i know humaid was your ex husband" He whispered, my heart skipped a beat at his words.

I couldn't find the voice in me to speak, I only stared blankly at the running Hose which was placed on the grass with water running out of it.

"Safeeya, Do you consider me a stranger?" He asked calmly.

"No" I responded, with tears cascading down my eyes as I muffled my sobs.

"Why didn't you tell me about you and humaid?" He asked.

"I wasn't ready" I simply said.

"So if I hadn't ran into your conversation with Humaid yesterday, I would never had found out"

"Aadil I am sorry, I wasn't ready to tell you about it and humaid is your best friend so I didn't want to create a rift between the two of you" I said almost in a whisper.

"A rift?. Safeeya what humaid did to you in the past is inhumane and i apologize to you on his behalf" he muttered.

"I hate him and I'll never forgive him" I said standing on my feet.

"I know, I am not asking you to forgive him" He said standing up on his feet as well "And plus, I am disappointed in you for hidding it from me"

"Aadil I am sorry" I muttered.

"Sorry?, You referred to me as your best friend but what did you do, hide things away from me. you and humaid were the two important people in my life but you both Betrayed me by not telling me the truth, I am disappointed in you the most, I  thought we were friends"

"Yes we are, Aadil I didn't have the courage to tell ..." I was cut short when he walked away Angrily, I felt like I had lost my best friend, I fell to the ground and began to cry bitterly, this is All humaids fault, i hate him.
