*Jasmine's POV*
"What time would Daniel be here to ask for your hand?" I asked Naïma with mixed feelings. "10:00 AM," Naïma said with a deep sigh. "Let's sleep. It's 2 AM so we better rest, tomorrow is a big and exiting day," I told her.
It still felt like it was the middle of the night when the doorbell rang. Naïma looked at me with big eyes. I glanced at the clock, it was 5:05 AM. We tiptoed to the bedroom door and heard the already familiar male voices in our hallway. "I'm nervous," Naïma whispered.
"Nervous?" I repeated. Why would Ben be here as well, and why would they be here ,this early in the morning? We both got dressed in a daze. I stumbled down the stairs, my body hurt even more than it did yesterday.
Saeed did not spare me.
I was so distracted, that I almost fell down the stairs. But before I could, Benjamin was there to catch me. "Hey little pea," Benjamin said, looking intently into my eyes. "Uh hmm Hi," I said trembling.
