BRIBE THE BRIDE WITH LOVE “Did she say yes?” my best friend Khalid asked. “Of course, after all I offered my bride, a good bribe.” I said while recalling the moment I proposed to her. “Dare I ask, what did you offer her?” “Love. A promise to love and cherish her forever…” My to-be-bride’s face lit up when I had said that to her. She had got all teary-eyed. Oh, how I wished to wipe that smile off of her face and see more of her tears. “I suppose you will not hold on to that promise.” I smirked. “And that’s why you are my best friend. You see, accepting a bribe is a crime which she did and now she’s going to pay for it.” “Offering bribe is a crime too. Won’t you too pay for it my friend?” I scoffed. “Why would I? I did the right thing.” Khalid sighed. “Just be careful, okay ?Are you sure you want to go ahead with this revenge plan of yours without hearing her side of the story? You know marriage is not a joke.” “I saw what happened that day. Seeing is believing dude. And you are right, marriage is no joke and that’s exactly what I am going to show her.” “But-” Khalid tried to reason but I silenced him with what I said next, “I, Razan Shaad, vow to give my lovely bride Faria Zehna as much hatred as I can.” “Don’t make promises you can’t keep bro. You never what will happen in the future.” And with that Khalid walked away.
