Amaro closed the distance between them by pulling her close to him. Their bodies were so close, that they could feel each other's warm breath. Kashmir was shocked at Amaro's sudden move and her eyes were locked with Amaro's piercing eyes.
"My love, do you think that I proposed to you on a whim? I have loved you from the beginning and I will always love you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life." His gaze piercing and Kashmir felt uneasy.
"But you know the score, don't you?" She averted her gaze.
"Yes, I am fully aware of that, I will do everything for you to love me. I will wait for you to love me back, my love." Amaro said lovingly.
"What if you get tired of waiting for me?" She was worried that Amaro would get tired waiting for her to reciproca
Kashmir panicked and covered her mouth with her hand. Amaro laughed, his deep booming laugh reverberated around the room."You phone Joyce now." He stood up and sauntered toward his table.Kashmir took her iPhone and dialled Joyce's number. Joyce answered the call at once."Hello, Kashmir. Why did you call? Is something wrong?" Joyce spoke fast as if she was in a hurry."Hi, Joyce. Are you busy?" Kashmir asked while looking at her nails. Kashmir couldn't recognize what she felt at the thought of her wedding."No, I am not. I am having my lunch at the company cafeteria now." she said to Kashmir."I am sorry to disturb you Joyce." she said apologetically.
The elevator dinged and opened, the three women walked out of the elevator. Omar was already waiting at the entrance of the company building. Kashmir smiled at the thoughtfulness of Amaro, she was certain that Amaro told Omar to wait for her. Omar saw Kashmir and her friends heading towards him. He opened the limousine door for them. "Thank you Omar" Kashmir said before getting into the car. They stopped into Maryam's shop, the three of them alighted from the car and entered Maryam's shop. Kashmir picked up several formal dresses and gowns, neither of them liked it. "Aha, I will let you try something, you will definitely like it." Maryam turned on her heels and walked towards a room and took a gown. She walked back to Kashmir and handed the gown to
"We’re here girls" Maryam giggled as they arrived at the entrance of the hotel. "I am so excited!" She clapped her hands. "Maryam, you're so hyper today, have you eaten a lot of sweets today?" Kashmir was chuckling at her friend's behaviour tonight. "Oh, girl yes, too many sweets" Maryam winked as she answered Kashmir. "Me too, I have eaten a lot of sweets today." Joyce chuckled. "You aren't the only one who consumed lots of sweets. I have also consumed loads of them." Fatima smirked. Joyce, Fatima and Maryam had a high five. "You girls are behaving weird today. What kind of sweets have you eaten that have that
Ishmael, Murad and Omar who saw Kharim and the woman grimaced. Kharim came near Amaro and said "Brother! Congratulations!" Amaro did not answer, he only nodded to his brother. "Kashmir, congratulations!" Kharim said. Kashmir stood then bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness" The queen who saw Kharim with the woman got agitated and said to the king "I have to go speak to Kharim, why did he bring that woman here?" gritting her teeth. "Don't worry, I know Amaro can deal with it." the king said, pacifying the queen. "I worry about Kashmir, she has no clue. She is such an innocent and sweet girl and I don't want her to get hurt." she sighed.
On her bed, Kashmir was unable to sleep tossing and turning as she was disturb by Irene's behavior toward Amaro. She didn't like the way she spoke with Amaro and the way she touched his arms. 'If Irene was Amaro's ex - girlfriend, why is it that she is Kharim's girlfriend now?' She’s perplexed. She wants to know their past but she doesn't know how to ask Amaro about it and decides to wait for him to open up to her. Kashmir doesn't want to appear to be nagging Amaro about his past since it's a past that should belong to the past and must not be dragged to the present. What's important is the present, Amaro loves her now. With that in mind, Kashmir's troubled heart found rest hence, she was able to sleep. In the morning, Kashmir was woken up by the light that came through the curtain that
On the other side of the palace, in Kashmir's room. She silently cried on Amaro's chest, in her 26 years of existence, it was her first time to hear such degrading words against her. She never had a conflict with other women before because she didn't flirt with men nor did she entertain suitors. Now that she is getting married to Amaro that she received such ill - treatment like this. She was thinking about what would happen if Kharim and Irene got married. Good thing that the king and queen treated her well. That was one thing that consoled her.Amaro did not say a word to her, he just stroked her back to comfort her.Knock, knock, knock...They broke their hug. "Stay here my love. I am going to answer the door." Amaro said to Kashmir.Kashmir took a facial tissue
Kashmir went to her room and had a bath. After doing her skin care regimen she put on her nightie. She picked up her MacBook and started a video call. “Hi,girls!” The four best friends greeted each other simultaneously. "By the way, we are dying to know why all of the sudden you are marrying him." Queenie can’t wait to know the reason for the sudden marriage. "Yes, girl, what happened to your Amir? I thought you’re going to wait for him?" Samantha’s eyebrows furrowed. "Wait, girl, didn't you tell me you saw Amir in the restaurant when we had dinner with Fatima and Maryam? Did you see him after that?" Joyce asked "Girls, I know you will be shocked but please don't scream okay?" Kashmir said.
Kashmir remained on the floor at the side of her bed hugging her knees lost in her thoughts. Then suddenly the door opened wide, she looked up and saw Amaro's worried look. "Kashmir!" He strode towards her and knelt. "Hey, are you alright, love?" he cupped her face. He has been calling several times but his call was not answered, for this reason he called the front desk to help him open the suite where Kashmir was. "You scared me to death, love." "How did I scare you?" She gave him a puzzled look. "I have been calling you for ages but you didn't answer your phone. I got worried - sick that something wrong might have happened to you." He hugged her.
