Slowly drifting

chapter 17

Aisha

They took me to my new home. A very luxurious home indeed. Everything about it is beautiful,but I don't care.

I will prefer going to my grave for life time than staying in this house.

Wedding is over, everyone left. I am now to stay with someone I met once for the rest of my life, unbelievable.

I cried uncomfortably. My eyes turned red, my face dried up. I looked terrible.

Abubakar, my husband walk in respectfully.

"Assalam alaikum to this beautiful wife of mine".

I couldn't answer him back. I raised my head up looking at him. He moved closer and I get up really quick. "Don't! Don't you dare come near  me!" I said pointing at him.

"Calm down sweetheart!" He said.

"I am not your sweetheart! I told you I don't love you but you pushed me to marry you, don't you ever think that I am gonna love you! Never!" I shouted.

"I know you mad right now. I understand what you are going through but can we talk a bit please." He said.

"I don't wanna talk, leave me alone!"

Abubakar has no other option but to walk away and leave me alone. I know he felt bad but I don't care! We will leave in this pain together.

I cried so hard. I want my Muhammad to be with me. I can't live without him, I want to die maybe the pain will go away.

Muhammad

I can't believe at all Aisha is married. I can't believe she's someone's own now. It's so hard to let go after being together for the longest time. I will love her till my last breath.

It's been a week after Aisha's wedding. What is she doing, how is she doing I have no idea. I have been sleepless all this time. I don't think I will ever get over this pain.

My phone cut off my thoughts. To my surprise it's Aisha.

"Hello Sweetheart.
I am sorry, I was used to it." She Said.

"Aisha how are you doing." I asked.

"I am not okay at all. How can I cope life without you?" She said crying.

"By trying. I don't know how to live without you but we all have to try. Most importantly you're married now, we have to stay away from each other please." I said.

From her voice I know she's not okay at all. We all cried before we ended the call, it was so hard.

"Muhammad!" My mom's said as she walked in.
"What happened mom" I asked.

"What do you think you're doing? Are you out of your sense?" She asked me.

" No mom, what happened." I asked.

"The girl is married. She's married. Stay away from her. Your faith should be greater than your feelings, especially in situations like this." She said.

I explained to her that i didn't call Aisha. She called me and i couldn't reject.

"Stay away from her. Don't pick her calls again or else shaitan will come between you guys." She said.

"Astagfirullah! I will try my best to get over it mom. But please keep praying for me." I said.

"I will my son". We continue having conversations.

Aisha

It's been a week and my situation is the same.

Abubakar is trying his best but he can't do anything. I told him I am sorry couple of times, I can't help myself. He seem to be a nice guy but no one can replace my Muhammad!

Muhammad called me and break my heart even more.

"Aisha we can't be making calls again." He said.

I pleaded but I also realized is something sinful. But how can I survive without hearing from him?

"Alright Muhammad, can we stay as friends only? We can asked about each other's situation time after time.

He agreed with that.
I will never get over him, i am always stalking him on instagram with my fake insta. At least I feel at ease.
