Chapter 45

Mom… Should I go for nude lipstick or something vivid, like dark red or bright red?

Definitely nude.

Ok. I’m done.

My hair was tied up in a high Korean bun, I applied eyeliner and lipstick. I quickly wore my diamond chandelier earrings and left the broken hearted necklace where it was. We got into the car and drove off.

Surprisingly it was a mini party; just the ones that visited us during the polo match in London were the ones that attended, and some from familiar people from Kuwait. I sat with Lamya for a few minutes then walked by the men’s area to say hello to the rest.

Madiyah!! You look stunning darling. 3abdl3aziz came closer and kissed my cheeks. I blushed. He held my hand and we walked out together. I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable with him being so close to me… But could it be? Is 3abdl3aziz… my husband? No… That’s impossible. But the way he treated me was somehow unusual.
And right there, he stood out amongst the crowd. His presence made my heart flutter, as I got closer to him I could feel my hands getting hotter and sweaty, 3abdl3aziz tightened his grip.

Essalam 3alaikm…

W3laikm essalam Madiyah, sh7alich?

I smiled. It was crystal clear that I was still attached to him. Words could no longer express the way I felt towards him, I couldn’t reply on a simple answer. I thank god that 3abdl3aziz felt how awkward it had got between the two, I just stood there....

Take me out. I whispered to his ears, I tightened his grip for support. We were on our way out to the garden until someone out of nowhere congratulated us.

Mabrook!!! Mabrook. Mashallah 3alaikm, etjaninoon ma3a ba3a’9!

It felt like a bullet just hit my heart and I’m still standing, I’m dying from the inside. My eyes widened, I could feel my tears rising making the whole view blurry. I looked down at that giant rock on my ring finger, I felt like throwing it away if I knew it was 3abdl3aziz. The women gathered up and kept on congratulating the two of us. I was suffocating; I could no longer handle all of the information that my brain was in taking.

I walked away, out of the blue, suddenly. 3abdl3aziz followed me.

Madiyah.. He called out, softly. Talk to me.

He stood behind me, waiting for me to open up to him, but somehow it felt so wrong.

Take me home… Please. I was still in shock, but I could feel the tears falling.

Mabrook. I looked at my hand, 3abdl3aziz was still holding it. I looked back and just stared at him, my facial expressions were numb, my tears had already fallen, and I closed my eyes and walked away.

3abdl3aziz got in the car and let the driver take us back to my house. My head was slowly spinning, my hands were trembling, why did I end up like this? My life is screwed up. I fell for the wrong guy, at the wrong time, but my heart yearns for him, it aches whenever I see him or whenever someone mentions his name. I have gotten over A7mad, quickly. I closed my eyes, everything was slowly breaking down, and everything seemed to make more sense. 3abl3aziz walked me in and waited for me to calm down. My body crashed down on the sofa and he sat beside me, he left a decent distance.

What is happening?

He stayed quiet, unsure if he’s supposed to answer my question or not.

3abd3aziz… My voice was filled with pain.

3yoonh…

I cried. He hugged me. I cried even more. I can’t live a life with someone who loves me but I don’t love him back, 3abdl3aziz is like a brother and no more than that. He cupped my face and wiped my tears, he looked into my eyes.

Do you want this to continue?

I couldn’t reply. He kissed my forehead and walked towards the door about to leave. I was too scared. I didn’t want him to leave. I want to clear things up.

Wait.. He stopped. I’m sorry. He turned around and smiled, then left me… all alone.

Where did I go wrong? What have I done?
