It had been a whole week since her nikkah with Hasan and he hadn't called or texted or anything! they had left to London a few days ago and would be back soon for the walima. but he had kept no contact with her, it was like she wasn't even married.
Aminah was happy after that rude outburst Hasan had made on their nikkah day. But her parents were starting to become suspicious. she kept telling them he was busy with work, back home in London.

As the three of them walked down the hall, Aminah felt butterflies in her stomach, like she always did before meeting someone.
