Chapter 27
'Zamin'
I arrived at the venue dressed in my suit, the house buzzing with noise from both of our families. She walked out dressed elegantly…nothing new. Her face shone, and the lighting in that room made her look more than just beautiful.
Unfortunately, I still stood there emotionless hoping that she would change her mind and that I would be having Elizah walk up to me instead. I lit my cigarette as I thought of her. Trying to use it to get rid of my pain. We had the ceremony and handed each other the rings, Saleema was now my official finance.
Elizah was stuck in a corner with the rest of our friends, they eventually came over to take a few pictures with us both before digging through the savouries.
"Your mind has been everywhere since the night began, I know you love Elizah…but I deserve a chance to be looked at as well," she said whispering into my ear
"I'm sorry, I won't move my eyes away from you again."
