Umar was brought back to the present by his wife's caressing hands. Hafsa looked at the man she have loved for more than thirty years of her life.
Though she was selfish and driven by her emotions, he was her greatest weakness.
Umar looked at Hafsa through his wet lashes. This wife of his has never changed. She was still the same girl who coaxed him to commit such a crime against his heart. Though he never loved her half as much as he loved Ramlah, his was not immune to her charms.
He watched her softly wipe his tears away. His gaze fell on her swollen cheeks as he looked upon her red face with remorse in his eyes. He loved her. No matter what crime she committed in the past and what crime she would commit in the future, he was forever doomed to support her.
