HeartBroken novel Chapter 10

Chapter Nine

"Let’s go inside. The elders have a special announcement to make," Hammad announces, eyeing Ahmed while rubbing his hands together.

They all follow Hammad and Ahmed. Inside, they excitedly sit around the elders on the carpeted floors.

"So, we've decided to hold Amrah and Haroon's vows this Friday.”

All the youngsters start hooting as they nudge the blushing bride to-be and the shameless groom, who has a stupid grin spread across his face teasingly eyeing his to-be bride.

"Let me complete,” Ahmed’s father says sternly as he continues, “Ahmed and Tanzeen’s vows will beheld along with Amrah and Haroon's.”

One.

Two.

Three.

Hammad counts in his dead, waiting for someone to break the silence. But no one opens their mouth. He looks around the room to see the shocked expressions of his cousins.

"I've already asked for Ahmed's permission and he has no problem with it. The departure will be done a week after the vows” Ahmed’s father continues.

Sahaan sits still, completely shocked. Her trance is broken by the yelling of someone.

“How dare you? How could you decide this without informing me?” Sahaan’s grandmother stands up and yells in anger.

She continues without waiting for them to say something.

"I don’t care about myself, Isra! I know if she enters this family, she will destroy it! She knew about my feelings towards Ahmed! She deliberately did it,” she yells in frustration

"And what about you? Can you bear living with her under one roof? Can you bear seeing the man you love with someone else?” Isra shakes her shoulders.

They hear a gasp. Both of them look up to see Azra standing there, with her mouth wide open.

"You like my brother?" she yelps in happiness.

"That’s great news! I won’t let that lizard Tanzeen step into this house!" she declares, arrogantly jutting her chin out.

"Easier said than done. Didn’t you hear what they said? You brother Ahmed has agreed to this shit! I can't believe it," Isra remarks sarcastically, with an anger-filled voice.

"I don’t know anything. All I know is that she cannot enter this house, otherwise she’ll destroy the family,” Sahaan whispers brokenly.
