Chapter 63

~Mutaq~

Yes…we succeeded in our project. Elhams designs are finally in the market and I can finally take a long-overdue vacation. I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as my wife, especially her pre mother glow.

I haven’t spoken to Zafar since the incident and Nura hasn't smiled since that day. The pain she must have felt through these months…the suffering of watching someone else have what she can not yet naturally wishing good for them. Is something that isn’t easily done, her heart is pure and gentle. And with age, it becomes even more visible.

I know it's petty of me, and forgiving should be natural. But I simply cannot find it in me to let go of what he did that day. For that moment, I’ve never felt my fist itch so much to punch a hole through his face…but that wasn’t my place…but today I just couldn’t stand it.

“ let go of me…” I say looking away, “ we aren't teenagers anymore…or pre-adults, I’m about to be a father…let go of my collar.”
