Chapter 10 - Zion's Fear

What is going on? What's the point of jumping? Oh, look at that glee on your face! Haya, why are you up this late? Is everything okay? I'm delighted to see you this ecstatic, but I'm also curious as to what it is. I've decided to be happy and it seems that God has granted my wishes. Oh my goodness! Mother said, as she wrapped her arms around me, tears of joy and relief streaming down her cheeks. We've been waiting for you to step out of this funk for a long time. All praise be to God. This makes me very happy.

Haya, you have a strong scent, it smells like roses. Yes, mother, this perfume lasts a long time. I lied because I wasn't wearing perfume and the fragrance came from the roses he brought me.

Come on darling, it's too late now, get some sleep, I'm tired too. Please go to sleep; I'll sleep as well. Sure, honey, mother says as she kisses me goodnight.

I leap into my bed and thank God for granting my greatest wish. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Curling my hair with the index finger, I imagined he was afraid to show me his true self. What if he's terrifying? He was worried that if I saw his true face, I would freak out. I adored him so much that I didn't care what he looked like. I would tell him that he has the best looks in the world and that I will do everything in my power to make him feel at ease with his natural appearance.

Laila showed up the next day. What's up, girl? You're all glowing up. Laila exclaimed. And you appear to be content. I'm overjoyed to see you, honey. I dashed up to her and hugged her tightly! I moved in around her, tightening my grip on her as if I were doing a small couple dance. Whoa! Whoa! Haya, what is it? Laila laughed. Finally, I met him. I spoke softly into her ear. She was shaken and asked, "What?" Oh, my God! She dragged me over to the couch and sat. Tell me in detail, I'm freaking out. How did he appear? Was he frightening? Was he pleasant? Omg! Laila inquired, enthralled.

Laila, let me speak, I laughed. Sure, sure, I'm sorry to speak up now, she said with a smile. Laila, you're way more excited than I am, I laughed again.

So he reappeared with the roses, looking extremely beautiful and gentle, he had enormous respect for me, and he confessed to me that he is deeply in love with me. He can't afford to avoid me any longer. He was also hesitant to reveal his true self because he didn't want to cause me any problems. Oh my goodness! Laila stated. That's adorable, but I'm also ecstatic.

Haya, who are you staring at? Laila, nothing. I thought it was the cat at the window, and I was concentrating on whether or not it was there. It usually comes and meows beside my window all night. I had to lie again to divert Laila's attention, and Zion was silently laughing as he listened to my fabricated stories. I squinted at him, and he turned to face the wall. That was so innocent and sweet of him.

I want you to be fine and safe Haya, Laila muttered. And tell him I'd like to meet him as well. Omg! I exclaimed, he is not at ease with himself, but I will request that he meet you and we will tell him that he is the most attractive being in the world. Zion cried and smiled. As I gave him loving and caring eye contact, I felt my heart burst as I observed him cry. He remained standing, his gaze lowered to the ground.

Laila hugged me tight and asked me to leave because she needed to take her mother to the hospital. I was bugged to hear about it, so I inquired about her mother's well-being. She is fine, but her high blood pressure is bothering her. Hopefully, she will recover quickly. I comforted Laila and told her that I would pay her a visit soon to meet her mother. Laila hugged me tightly and walked away.

I ran up to Zion and hugged him tightly the moment she left. He apologized for interrupting our conversation and for listening in. I assured him that I had no reservations and that I was very excited to see him. And you can see that my best friend wants to meet you as well. He said, "She is an adorable girl." "I'm overwhelmed by your love, Haya." He approached me and said, "I'm confused, Haya, I just don't want you to be harmed anyway." I'm concerned about you as well. As tears streamed from his eye, he continued to look into mine. What exactly is it, Zion? You're making me nervous as well.

I'm afraid of losing you Haya, and that our love will be abandoned. My elders have forbidden me from invading a human's life because it disrupts and violates the rules of our family regime.

Could I please speak with your elders? I'll persuade them to accept me as a member of their family. It's not possible, Haya. I'm afraid they'll hurt you. They're outlandish and have horrifying appearances. You won't be able to stand in front of them for more than a minute. I wish I could whisk you away from all of this.

It's just you and me. And no one else, he sobs. I wrapped my arms around him and sobbed with him.

I'm completely addicted to you, Zion. I can't bear the thought of being apart from you any longer. It's time for me to go Haya; we'll meet again. In a gloomy tone, he said.

He gripped my hand tightly and said, "Haya, I love you more than anyone else in this world; just remember that I can give up my life for you." I sobbed even more as my heart burst open to listened to him.

I hope our love can find a way. He kissed my hand goodbye and stood up to leave. I took his hand in mine and asked him to stay. I'll be back soon, he promised, tears streaming down his cheeks. And then he disappeared.

I lied in bed and cried, I was baffled and honestly scared this time. I got a call from Laila that she is leaving for Riyadh city with her parents for 2 weeks' time. And they're leaving tonight and she would meet me once she gets back. I needed to talk to you Laila, I exclaimed. You can talk on the phone honey she replied. I want to speak in person Laila. 2 weeks is going to be a long time but I'll wait for you to come back soon honey. I wished her goodbye and a safe trip and hung up the call.
