Description
Pin drop silence hovered over them all, their eyes trained on Mohammed ilyaas. Summayya's heart drummed crazily, she bounced her legs in anxiety, waiting for him to propose to her. He finally looked up, locking his gaze with her own, he gave her a timid smile. Blushing, she returned a shy smile, quickly averting her gaze back to her lap. "I spoke to my mother about Sumayya. " He paused, glancing at her twiddling her fingers nervously beneath the table. He sighed. She would hate him for this. "She was displeased." Her eyes shot up, a look of shock pooling in those dark brown orbs. "She doesn't approve of this marriage." He slumped his shoulders in defeat, not meeting her gaze. She swallowed the sudden lump that formed in her throat, blinking away traitorous tears that were on the brink of her lashes. She stoop up abruptly. She couldn't believe it! He was refusing because his mother said she didn't approve. How could she say no without even meeting her once? She ran to her room, as tears spilled from her eyes, one after the other, soaking her scarf. She slumped on the floor, burying her face in her lap, crying for being so vulnerable and foolish. Why did she ever fall in love? She should have just remained the carefree tomboy that she was, the one who loved sport and outdoor activities and cringed at the mention of a husband, the one that only had friends that were boys but knew where to draw the line! Why was she so foolish?? Why just why? With quivering lips, she slammed her bedroom door shut. Sinking onto the carpeted floor once again. He melted the ice queens heart no doubt, he taught it how to love no doubt, he trained it how to feel loved no doubt, but one thing he didn't teach her was the pain of a broken heart and how to mend it.
