Irresistibly In Love

Chapter 23

"Well I had told you, He will be mine." Aliya said smirking at Safa while holding Saif's hand. Safa looked at her husband in shock who was smiling at Aliya.

"But.. But I'm his wife." Safa said almost of the verge of crying.

"I think you have forgotten the deal." Aliya said and it was like someone had slapped her on her face.

"But you said you loved me." Safa said a single tear escaping her eye.

"I did? I must have just said it." Saif said shrugging his shoulder and Safa felt her heart breaking into million of pieces.

"But how could y-you?" Safa felt a huge lump in her throat.

"Oh just shut it up Safa. I knew you were always behind this rich man but see this time I win." Aliya said gripping Saif's hand tightly while smiling at him which he reciprocated.

"I hope you have a good life ahead." Aliya said and walked away with her man.

I jolted up from my sleep feeling my entire body shiver from the nightmare. I looked at the time to see it almost 3 in the morning. I looked besides me to see Rida sleeping. Drinking a glass of water, I got down from the bed and walked out of the room.

I couldn't help but think about the nightmare that shattered my heart.

But he never told you that he loves you.

I heard my conscious.

But his action does!

I heard my heart.

"But what if the nightmare comes true?" I whispered to myself and a single tear escaped my eye.

"Safa?" I heard my name being called. I turned around and looked at Rehan to see him walking my way.

"Rehan?" I took in his appearance to notice he had just left the bed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him and he raised an eyebrow at me.

" I just woke up to drink a glass of water but what are you doing here?" He asked me and eyed me and his eyes widen.

"Were you crying?" He asked me and I lowered my head.

"Care to share?" He asked me and I looked up at him to see him worried.

"Nothing major." I said smiling at him but he looked at me.

"Is it related to Saif?" He asked me and I looked at him shocked.

"How do you know?" I asked him.

"Well your face says it all." He said smiling at me while I rolled my eyes at him.

"Did he...?" He did not complete his statement and I could see the fear in his eyes.

"No No." I semi yelled and he jumped a little.

"Alhamdulillah, he is safe." He said grinning at me and I couldn't help but smile.

"But why were you crying?" He asked me suddenly serious and I debated whether to tell him or no.

"I had a nightmare." I said and he made an 'o' face.

"I have the entire night." He said and I couldn't help but smile.

"Actually..... "

"Safa?" I heard my name and I turned around to see Rida walking towards me rubbing her eyes. My eyes widen when I saw her without her hijab.

"Rehan don't...." I turned towards Rehan to tell him not to turn but the redness in his face told me it was late.

The damage was already done.
