His substitute Bride

Humiliated

Humna p.o.v

After doing all the shopping I was exhausted. He wore ALMOST 55 CLOTHES!!!! Can you imagine it?

I sigh, slamming my back on the bed .

Suddenly a flashback appeared in my mind .

Humza tried to buckle my shoe belt , unknowingly a smile appeared on my lips and blush crept on my cheek , I couldn't help but feel butterflies inside my stomach . The way he bent down like some prince and took my stand in front of Katherine . Everytime my idiotic jokes c***k a smile on his handsome face …..

I giggle hiding my face under the pillow feeling shy but soon realisation hit me like a cold bucket of water splash on my face .

" NO!" I shouted sitting up straight .

" No… no… no this cannot happen ….." I mumbled, feeling like an i***t .

I stood pacing from one place to another place .

It's horrible yet exciting

I do not like showing affection to people, so having a crush scares me. After what happened with Asad I promised to not fall for any man and I thought I never will …..

But…. But Humza….

When did he enter my heart ???

Even though I don’t show much affection, I’m a hopeless romantic. I dream of perfect relationships too much lol.

And now that Humza is behaving like a perfect prince charming , he is crawling inside my heart …

But what if…...Humza doesn't like me ???

Of course he does

" Exactly " I said to myself .

" Of course he does " I repeated my inner thought " otherwise why would he do such sweet things " I told myself .

I walk in front of the mirror …. My glasses are gone so was my braces , I had a new hair colour little reddish not that much but it's looking classy , there is a curls in the end and to say the truth I am looking

just beautiful and confident ...haah… that's what I always had in me .

I am born confident ...I patted my back dramatically proud of myself .

" I think I should tell Humza about my new born feelings…. " I scratched my chins .

Even if the response is obviously going to be “yes,” there’s still a moment when the question hangs suspended in the air, waiting for an answer.

I touch my door knob to open

What if he refuses ??? because I didn’t want to throw away the friendship we had built in the name of a hot rebound.

I step back stomping my feet…. proceeding to whine more .

" I won't tell him " I decided firmly and sat on the edge of the bed trying to calm my nerves .

After a few seconds…..

I clasp my hand happily…." Okay I tell him now "

I went to his room , terrace , office room but he wasn't anywhere giving up. I went downstairs to ask Granny if there was anything to eat …. When I heard Humza's voice making my legs stop in their tracks .

" You are thinking too much, " he chuckled, chopping green vegetables …

Granny crossed her arms there was a teasing smile on her face " am I " she raised her one eyebrow and Humza sighs .

" Yes you are…. You know Granny she is just a victim of the hands of her uncle and aunt beside , I just…." He stop taking a deep breath I can see the sympathy expression which I hated the most my whole life , I clench my fist . " I just feel bad for her Granny …. , I don't love her but I do sympathise with her and beside she is a kid who didn't even complete her high school and i***t, immature kids who has a long future ahead " he finished and I felt someone just twisted my heart in a really bad way …

A tear escaped my lips ….

" Do you still want Rumaisa? " Granny asked .

" I do " he said in a heartbeat , he didn't even wait or think for a second .

He loves Rumaisa of course….

Asad love Rumaisa

Everyone loves Rumaisa…

I felt angry , Humiliated and embarrassed and for the first time jealous .

" But… you are married to Humna " Granny tried to make him understand .

" I don't see her in that way.." he slammed the knife on the counter .

" It's not my fault that she is so much younger than me and completely childish, " he snapped .

" I never wanted to marry her….I wanted her sister and I got her instead " he spat bitterly .

I step back blinking back the tears …

Every word of him broke something in me ….

" I am sorry Humna ...I am in love with Rumaisa " Asad spoke looking extremely guilty .

" It's- it's okay " I pull back the flowers which I extended to give it to him.

I tried to smile through the tears… I don't know what was more horrible … the rejection , embarrassment , losing my best friend or him loving my sister …..
