HeartBroken novel Chapter 8

Chapter Seven

Hammad slowly goes towards Sahaan, who is setting the dishes on the platform. He bends his neck forward to see what she’s doing.

Sahaan gets startled and shrieks, dropping the spoon on the floor. She turns towards him and smacks his shoulder.

"Hammad, why the hell are you walking like a cat?! You scared me." she takes deep breaths, placing her hand on her heart.

"I don’t walk like a cat! Leave cats out of this." Hammad whines at her. She shakes her head at him and continues her work.

"So, what are you doing here? You know Amrah’s in-laws are here, and there is a surprise for you too!" He playfully smirks at her while putting his arm around her shoulder. He then forcefully takes her out of the kitchen.

"Let me go, Hammad! Otherwise aunt will eat me up raw,” she screeches, remembering Ahmed’s mother’s scary face.

They abruptly stop when Sahaan realizes what she just said. She bites her tongue.

"She’s still the same, right? I don’t understand what she wants from you! There are so many servants, so why is she always after you?" he says with a blank look on his face.

Hammad was well aware of their aunt’s behavior towards Sahaan.

He nods and leaves before he can do something he might regret.

The manor is hustling and bustling with happiness radiating from every corner. The youngsters are teasing the to-be bride, while the elders are indulged in their conversations with Amrah's future in-laws.

Hammad glances around the hall, looking for Sahaan. But she is nowhere in sight.

He peeps through the dining table and there she is! She’s preparing lunch for everyone, whilst they are busy enjoying themselves. She’s ignored by everyone.

He sadly looks at her with anger filled eyes.He walks towards Isra and takes her to the dining room for her to see what Sahaan is doing while everyone else is having fun. Isra’s expression changes to the same expression Hammad has on.
