Third person p.o.v

Standing in front of the balcony , Humza glared at the moon …. Pondering his past…

"Remember Humza…... Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.

Focus on your character, not your reputation.

Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes "

Flash back

16 year old Humza was walking in the school hallway with big thick books stuck to his chest , trying his best to lower gaze so as not to catch anyone's attention …..

" Look … look… look who is here " Madison and his group stood in front of him out of nowhere with a sinister smirk on his face…

Hamza's heart started to beat fast in fear knowing very well that things are not going to be well for him now .

" pl- please let- let me go " Humza glanced at his feet praying for them to leave them alone .

" Was it your glasses nerd ???" They take off his glasses laughing and pass it to one another .

" Pl- please please give it back to me " he jumped to take his glasses from them but those bulky ones were too cruel.

He saved his months pocket money to repair his glasses which they broke 3 month's back .

Maddison wore his glasses " look I am Humza the nerd of the year " he Mimics in a thin voice then all of them laugh out loud .

16 year old Hamza's eyes burn with hot tears , he has already gone through a lot . He doesn't want to deal with this ….

" Ewww what's this? " one of the guys picked up the strands of his hair .

" Did your mama out jasmine old ungly as#" they all laugh .

Hamza's grip tightened around his book " don't bring my mother into this " He gritted out .

Madison tilted his head in a mocking way " or else ??? Mama's boy will get angry ??? Will he give us boo boo " he mocked then laughed his head back .

Madison leaned closer to his face that there nose touched " Your mother was a backstabber " he whispered aggressively…" she - " before he could say more .

A strong punch hit his cheek making him kiss the wall.

Humza was taken aback by his own actions.

He looked at his hand then Madison who recovered from his punch who was looking insane with rage .

" So- sorry " Humza started to step back

" YOU SON OF A -" Madison shouted at the top of his lungs .

" SORRY !" Humza shouted in fear as the boys marched toward .

Humza started to run as fast as he could but only to be ended up in the centre of the football ground surrounded by Madison and his g**g .

" You dared to hit me loser " Madison cracked his knuckle " be ready to be killed "

A hard punch hit Humza's stomach knocking the breath out of him , he didn't even get a chance to breathe, another hard punch hit his face and a kick on his groyne and for a moment Humza thought he would die out of pain .

They all kicked and punched until he was on the ground unconscious .

Flash back end

Humza blink coming back to reality . When he was young people took advantage of his innocence , bullied and called with so many names and today Humna face the same humiliation .

But this time , he won't let Humna be weakened by her bullies or dare to call her ugly .

He thought with determination . ..

Humna p.o.v

" Humna…." Humza stormed inside my room especially when I was changing .

" WHAT THE HELL !" I shouted at the top of my lungs turning around , I was relieved that I was almost done just pulling the zip up on my back .

" Sh*** sorry " he turned at jet speed .

" I should have knocked, " he muttered to himself .

" Yes you should, " I scolded, crossing my arms .

" Are you done ??" He still asks his back facing me .

" No I cannot pull my chain up " I frown trying to reach it but it is no use .

" Would you help ?" I walk up to him but he quickly turns his face almost turning into beetroot .

" What ! No " he refused instantly .

" Then get out and send granny " I said annoyed .

" Don't you dare to use that tone on me " he turned glaring .

" Since you turned please pull up my chain " I turn around letting my hair in the front .

" What the -" he looked shocked at my audacity .

" Don't be dramatic , you are my husband , you are allowed , now don't be a baby and do it fast " I ordered, tapping my feet impatiently .

Unknowingly we both stood in front of the mirror , I could see his hesitation all over his face .

He doesn't hesitate to touch other women ???

Why me ???

"Do you really think you are eligible for to be his wife , you look so ugly with this thick rimmed glasses and these stupid braces what is just cherry on top , I feel pity for Humza no wonder he choose you sister but instead he got worst packa-"

Katherine's words rang inside of my head ..

Does he think that's too…

He is disgusted to touch me ???

Is that the reason ??

" You are disgusted by me aren't you ?? " I question through the mirror and his head snaps at me .

We both are looking at each other through the mirror .

" What" his eyes furrowed in confusion .

" You . Are . Disgusted because I am ugly " I shrugged my shoulders casually turning around facing him .

" What the hell are you talking about ???" He questioned, almost irritated .

" You don't like to hug me or touch me , you are disgusted because I am ugly " I repeated stating the fact .

No I am not drowning in self-pity or getting insecure I am just stating the fact about his feelings .

" Why would you say that ??" He stepped back astonished .

" Why wouldn't I? " I ask, stepping forward .

" You are an i***t " he gritted out .

" And you are rude, " I snapped back .

We both had glaring contest for a second suddenly he turned me around and pull my zip in a blink ," wear your hijab fast "

I am confused " but why "

I started to wrap my hijab anyway . I don't know why my body sometimes knowingly works on his own when he commands .

I couldn't even finish wearing a hijab, grab my hand, drag me, Allah knows where ??

" But where are we going? " I said, struggling to put a pin on the side with one hand .

" Hell " is one word I tell you .

" But we are already there, " I pout .

He stopped and gave a look …

I giggled awkwardly " okay sorry continue " I muttered and he started to drag me again .
