She could feel the pain slowly overcoming her soul. The agony, the grief, taking over all that she once thought was alive in her. She felt so empty that she was sure her whole body will echo if someone was to shake her. But she stood, rigid as though a hundred years old tree, clinging onto the only thing that made her alive; her eyeglasses. 

Through those glasses, she had seen things she had wished she could erase. She had hated the things she once loved, places she once cherished and the man she grew up to love. 

It didn’t matter who he was to her, his role in her life or even the title he possessed. She was going to take revenge, she was going to make him regret, she was going to make her father cry right before her eyes!

But what if he chose to add more pain to her aching wounds? The day he declared her married to a gateman, the strings left attaching her with him were forcefully cut off. And she was certain even if it would take her till eternity, so long as she stayed married to the gateman, her father would never know what happiness felt like!

Married To The Gateman

<p>That was the least of her concern, what she had to fight off now was the fact that she got married to him. He was the one that betrayed her, she had every right to be angry at him and throw whatever tantrum she wanted. She felt her tears coming back to her cheeks in a rush. What was this kind of life? How could whatever she wanted slip away from her hold? Why would Alhaji do this to her? He was so aware of the fact that she hated Mujaheed, she had the one she loved. And the fact that he hated Adam didn't give him the full right to get her married to the gateman. Everyday, this terrible man kept giving her more than enough reasons to hate him more.</p>
