Chapter eighteen

He lied

Amal

Since it happened, I've never allowed myself to really think about it. Anytime I remember it though, a smile forms on my face because without even wanting to..I've won.

When Saif kissed me in the car, he murmured something that totally disintegrated the entire magic of the moment. Saif had said "little....."

He called me 'little'

My breath caught and held and I had to step back. Perhaps because I was stumped, I didn't really push away with enough force to startle him. I was so disorganized that I picked up my veil and quickly exited the car!

He had lied.

Saif lied.

But why?

Why does he prefer to act like he doesn't remember me?

Humph..it seems it's true. Men are the most vulnerable when their defenses are lowered. How did he make such a huge mistake? I don't even know if he realized that he's said it yet..

He would never ever call me Little if he doesn't remember me. But since he's adamant about keeping it to himself, I will let him. If for nothing but to find out why he lied.

I still can't believe uncle Saif lied!

I had such a great view of his character that I've never ever considered that he could lie to me.

It shows me just how much he's changed.

It feels sad though. Saif used to be straight and honest without giving a damn about consequences. He believes in truth and he fights against lies and deceit. What might have changed him?

I was still thinking and worrying about him when I heard a voice talking to me and it said "I finally met you" it is a cold voice that knows no warmth. Instantly, I turned to look at the girl sitting down next to me. She is none other than Yesmin.

I raised a brow in question.

Her cold demeanor continued as she said "sultana used to be my only friend" it's like she said it like a warning of sorts.

I frowned at her words. What has that got to do wth me?!

"I have two options for you. Leave Maicki. For good. Or stay and suffer the consequences. I'm not sultana. I don't hesitate" as soon as she said that, she stood up gingerly, plastering the bored look she's used to, she walked away. Just like that.

I stared at her retreating back wondering why my heart was beating so hard in my chest. But then I was suddenly tired of being threatened by any lousy girl that sets her eyes on Saif. I was so tired of not fighting back for what is mine. Yes. He said it himself. He loves me and he is married to me. I have a right to fight for him!

So I quickly walked in front of her before looking into her eyes and saying "you better not hesitate. Her worst mistake was not killing me when she had the chance. She said so herself. So if you want Saif, you need to get rid of me. If you play around, I will not warn you a second time" and I walked past her towards a sparsely populated area. Then I let out a huge sigh, putting my hand on my chest as I tried to calm my breathing. I don't understand why she makes me afraid!

I knew that my hunch could not have been wrong. This girl..she's dangerous.

I did a du'ah for protection and decided to forget about her for now.
