Second Chance

Hannah's POV...

We ate and Habib took his leave while I decided to go a little shopping. I walked around the shopping mall not sure where to start from. Deciding to go for the bags first, I walked in to the bags boutique. I walked round and round and finally picked out three bags.
" I'm surprised you're still single." A voice whispered to me and I almost fainted hearing that voice after so long. I was numb and only stood there without turning around. I'm not sure how I will react if I see that face.

" What? Cat got your tongue now?."

No matter how much of a short tempered person I am,that side still leave me whenever he's around. I slowly turned around to face him.

" Please,just leave me alone. I am in no mood for this. After all these years, you see me and the first thing that you're curious about is whether I'm single. Or...tell me are you still interested?." I said sounding brave but deep down I feel scared. He just looked at me and scoffed.

" As if. And for your information,I wasn't curious. I already know that you're still single."

" Hey baby." Another voice called out over my shoulder. My feet seemed to be glued to the ground because I couldn't move. Deep down knowing who it is. He came around standing in front of me.
" Are you okay? Is this guy bothering you?." Alameen asked with a very serious expression. And I sighed in relief because I felt so much happiness because of what he just did. I looked at the bad guy and he was clearly shocked by what he just witnessed.

" Well. This guy was telling me how his source told him that I am single and ... mind if you tell my husband the rest." I said looking from Alameen to Arfat(my ex) deep down scared and he couldn't say a word.

" Sorry. Who are you again? Cos I don't remember my wife mentioning something about a freak to me and tell your source to get his eyes off my wife."

" Baby,who is he?." He asked looking at me.

" Totally unimportant person." I said looking at him with a smirk. Seriously how did I just do that?

" The next time you talk to my wife like that, you won't like the outcome." Alameen warned him.

We watched as a very angry Arfat turned around and left.

Now left with him, I became ashamed of myself. Like how will I look him in the eyes. Where will I find the courage.
" Are you okay?." He asked.

" Yes. I'm fine. Thanks" I said without raising my eyes to his face level.

" He was a jerk anyway. Are you done shopping so we should get out of here?."

" Just get me out of here."

XOXO❤️🦋
