Second Chance

Hannah..

We finished cooking and set everything up in the dining room. Iman went to her room. Said she wanted to shower and look nice for her husband. I went to the guest room, picked up my bag and headed back to the sitting room.

I was so engrossed in my phone that I didn't heard someone walked in and dipped beside me on the sofa. Only to feel the presence of someone beside me. I didn't bother to turn around because I know if it was her husband, he would've said hi. So, I'm guessing it's the someone her husband came with. I carried on with what I was doing. You know that moment when you can feel someone staring at you? Yup, that's my moment now. The person sitting beside me has his eyes focused on me and seriously, I hate it and sure do want to tell him to stop but then, he'll understand that I know he's there and I don't want that and so, I just ignored him. After some minutes, the sound of footsteps approaching filled the hallway. That should be her husband and the idiot beside me, his guest.

" Hello Iman's best". Yup. He call me that. I turned around looking the other side, not the idiot's side.

" Hello Iman's soul mate. Sorry for being around all the time because of your wife". I answered with a smile. Thank God he came to the left. If not I will have answered him without raising my eyes from my phone screen.

" I'm so tired of hearing you say that. You two are best friends. Anyway, meet my cousin brother. He'll be with us today". He said and my heart started racing as to who it could be. Could it be him? Iman said he's her husband's cousin. What if it's him. How do I look him in the eyes? And that too in front of Iman's husband. If you don't look now, he'll think you noticed him or if it's really him, he'll understand your situation of trying to push him away. My inner self said. I braced myself and looked beside me and I swear my heart almost came out of my chest because of how hard it's beating.

" Hello. My name is Alameen and what about you?". Is this some kind of joke. Had it been her husband doesn't know about it, I would have played along. Try me you idiot, I thought.

" Oh, I am just me with my name tagged to me". I said with a smirk. And the smile on his face vanished.
" Excuse me". I added getting on my feet carrying my bag, I headed back to the guest room and locked the door. I sat on the bed my heart still pounding.I put a hand on my heart and felt how much it's beating. Why do you have to embarrass me all the time. You are taking control of everything. You won't even allow me to make my own decisions. This is not fair. I said talking to my heart like a fool. God.
