He walked to the window while gazing outside his back facing her, he lighted up a cigarette bringing it to his lips.
Her eyes following his each movement!
" Come here ! " came his deep voice startling her.
When he heard no sound of movement but crying he turned around.
"I said come here ! "
She stood up from the bed but shooked her head while crying continuously. She didn't looked up in his eyes even for one time !

I shooked my head again. He chuckled.
The next sec he roughly held my chin up and made me look in his eyes.
His eyes.

That scar on his eyebrow made him look more intimidating.
His thumb wiping my tears brought me back to reality." You'll go in study and say yes to this marriage. Tomorrow is our nikah you're going to be my wife ,yeah baby?"

Soft footsteps resonated in the hallway as Fatima approached the study. She quickly wiped her tears and took some deep breaths, with shaking hands held the handle and opened the door. Keeping her head down she slowly moved to the mahogany table.
"I wa-a-ant to tal-l-lk!! "Said Fatima more like whispered.
"Yeas Fatima beta come sit here near your baba !" Her taya Abu said.
She quietly approached her father who was sitting across the table on a very fancy sofa ! And sat near her father while fidgeting with her fingers continuously. Both men were waiting for her to continue.
