The plot

Third person's p.o.v

What! What do you mean you found her and she is getting engaged today? NO! We can't let that happen. Not when I just found her. 

I know but do whatever you can to stop that engagement from happening. I will be on my way shortly. She should not get engaged today, do you get me? I will come to get her myself. Remember do not hurt a single strand of hair on her head. Treat her with a lot of care. She is my Queen. He hang up the phone feeling exasperated. He felt as if his heart was pierced by a dagger. The fear that he was almost too late didn't help the situation. 

His guilty conscious didn’t help the situation either. He finally found his Humeyra but she was already taken. Her engagement was in a week’s time but he will have to steal her from her groom. She was his. She was his missing rib. The only piece left to make him whole as well as to fulfill half his Deen.

She had him hooked and addicted. He recalled her words when she told him that he would never find anyone .Who loved him as much as she did. That was evident from the way she hid her disease from him and didn’t use it to gain his pity or sympathy unlike the ladies that were interested in him. He missed her fragrant scent. She has always smelt extremely fresh: a combination of lavender and roses. Talking of other ladies they were too many to count.There was juweyriya who has been on his neck wanting to be his wife. His ummi wanted him to get married to juweyriya and settle down but he knew that no one would fill the space that Humeyra left in his heart. The space that was exclusively reserved for her even in death.

His mom was very fond of juweyriya because she was a modest and practicing muslima but his heart refused to bend to her charms. It was bewitched by his Humeyra’s charms. To be honest, juweyriya was a very beautiful lady whose beauty was envied by many young ladies and admired by even more young men. Her family background was also good considering that her family was one of the richest in the country.

Many legible men have proposed to her but all their proposals were rejected. Hamdan was aware that juweyriya loves him but having grown up in the same neighborhood as hers, he knew well enough her vices and virtues which his mother turned a blind eye to .Unlike Humeyra’s shortcomings, he felt that he could neither handle nor tolerate juweyriya for she was very spoilt and had everything she ever wanted. She was a rich snob who didn’t respect anyone she thought was beneath her.

In addition to that, she was one of the most arrogant person he knew. Once upon a time, he admired her but as she grew up she was consumed by all the wealth around her that she forgot to be humble. As if she was not bad enough, he never liked her father for unknown reasons. Her father, also called the king of charmers was a very handsome man in his middle age like Hamdan’s father but the difference was that jafar, juweyriya’s father was worse than his daughter in terms of arrogance. He was known as the king of charmers not for his good looks but for his ability to cheat people out of their hard earned wealth. He was also once rumored to be involved with the underground gang that was notorious for their illegal activities and robbery with violence.

Comparing Humeyra and Juweyriya, Hamdan have come to realize the kind of gem that Humeyra was which increased his respect and love for her ten folds it physically hurt. She was a lady of substance with virtues and principals that were part and parcel of her. From the way she held herself and her interactions, it was hard to tell that she was from a wealthy background.

It was after a lot of digging his memories that he concluded she was from a very capable background since she was always there to help in every situation that required financial solution. This facts you couldn’t notice from her humble nature. Most of the sadaqa she gave was done in private and he only came to know of them after a lot of investigation that he did on her. She was a gem in a garden full of pebbles. He failed to notice her perfection because he focused on her flaws. How he regrets his arrogance and pride. As of now, he had a mission to accomplish and that entailed getting back his girl no matter what.

He knew deep down that juweyriya was not easy to get rid of but that problem will be addressed once he had his girl. Hamdan was ready for a life with Humeyra as he already bought a mansion for her that was designed and construction overseen by Bram’s and co. He have forget about Sidra immediately after she left him in the institution without bidding him goodbye. Frankly speaking, he could easily say that he had a crush on her and felt pity for her because of her lack of a family and that was about it. The moment she was out of his sight, she was no longer in his mind unlike Humeyra whose thought was part and parcel of his every waking and sleeping hours.  

He chose that specific mansion for he fell in love with its simplicity which reminded him very much of Humeyra. She always loved and appreciated things that were simple in nature but carried strong sentimental value. She was precious. No wonder she left her marks all over his body and his soul.

As he boarded his private jet, he felt nervous as he didn’t know what to expect after so many years, five to be precise of not meeting her. There last encounter was not the best but he intended to make up for all his shortcomings. Wait for me habibti. I promise to treasure you even in death .wait for me.As am coming for you my love. He thought as the plane took off.
