I was in tears and in pain. Pain for my leg that got badly injured again and tears that i will be marrying Salman,How is that can even be possible when i was in tears and in pain.i don't even like him i don't even know anything about him. All i know is he doesn't like me at all, he still makes fun of me because of my leg. I sighed in defeat crying some more. How could my parents do this to me, what did i ever do to deserve this, marrying me off to someone that i dont know nothing about him and have no deep feeling for.

This is such a disaster i wish there was something i could do about it. Something i could do to stop it but unfortunately it's two parent's, two parties against one. How will i convince them that i do not want to marry Salman, that I do not want to marry him or any at all for that matter i am still too young. I have so much to accomplish and marriage isn't in the picture for me at least not yet not right now.

I couldn't help it as i cried all night and all morning as well.i refuse to eat anything and i didn't want to leave my room either i  just wanted to stay in my room and cry away my  sorrows. I still can't believe Mr Kamal, he really wanted that  union between me and his son Salman.

He didn't bother to ask me if that was what i wanted or not, he just went ahead to decide, telling my parents on my behalf.i can't bear this heart ache any more i need to share this burden with someone else. I called Isabella to visit me and since it's the end on the competition and the injury i sustained from it. The modeling school was on a two weeks break. And besides today was Saturday so Isabella came to La kamals house.

Once she got here Miss smith show her my room. She gave her some food to give me because i haven't eaten all day. My tummy growled in hunger and i was more than glad miss Smith though it best to sent my best friend to bring food to me. She didn't just bring the food Miss smith sent her also came along with something else.

She came with some gifts for me  and the food Miss smith said she should give me. I had finally stoped crying now because I want to tell her the full story of how I got here. She didn't let me speak at first because of bad breath i hadn't gotten out of bed since morning and it was already 12noon

"O. M. G!! zahra go and take bath already. C'mon go go go! And make sure to wash your mouth too."

" okay okay i am coming."

I said when she encouraged me to have my bath. Once I have freshen up and I have washed my teeth, she didn't let me talk because she heard my tummy growl and told me to eat first. I obliged because I really needed to eat so that i could have the energy to tell her everything about that engagement. coz the engagement was in 4 days. Once i had eaten and i had told her about  the whole engagement how my permission wasn't even sort before it was set.

Issabella felt really sorry for me she felt sad as well. And i began to cry again because Isabella was also in support of what my parents are saying. She was really pitying me but of course there was nothing i could do about it. Regardless that she tells me to respect my parents and accept the wedding because if i didn't It would really break there heart. So i listened and did exactly what she wanted besides how hard could it marriage possibly be.

We ate more of the gift she brought to me and we talked about everything and anything from school, to our classmates and anything randomly. We talked a lot and even end up play a lot of games that made me laugh a lot and forget my sorrows. She told me that she really wanted to get married too but no one was looking her way. I was sad for her because she was already 3years older than me . I was able to console her for a bit but after a while her phone began to ring .

" excuse me, I need to pick this call."

I smiled  at her when she said so while I went about arranging my room making sure it was in other. Yes i tossed and trashed my room because i was crying and even this morning as well . Once was done arranging my room as well i decided to take the plates i used for breakfast to the kitchen but Miss smith stopped me in the process.

"No need dear. I have it all covered ."

" but .. but I"

"That's enough dear give me the tray. You have a guest in your room waiting."

I sighed and knowing she was right. So i gave her the tray and went back to my room. I meet Isabella sitting on my bed a smile on her face. Immediately she saw me her smile got brighter as she said.

"That was mom on the phone. She said she has excellent News to share for me. I need to go home now."

"Oh it's alright thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate your support Isabella."

"Of cause zahra. What are better friends for."

I smiled at her and she stood up so she could hug me.i hugged her for a long time before letting go off her.

"Come I'd like to see you off. Come on."

" okay okay I am coming."

She said as i pulled her along with me. She followed me happily. And we both went downstairs and i whispered something to her ears. She nodded in agreement and followed my foot steps as we went to the parlor. I introduced her to Mr and Mrs Kamal as my best friend. It was because i ask issabella to come and greet mrs kamal in the main palour that was how she was had the option to see and meet Salman.  Before Salman came in Mrs Kamal was busy questioning Isabella saying.

"You also go the same modeling school? That's really nice. I hope you are teaching your friend how to walk in heels."

"Ah yes ma.i am doing my best."

"Very well do you have any siblings or you are the only child."

"No ma,i am the only child. But my cousins live with me so the house doesn't get boring."

"Ah I see. How wonderful it is then. Oh look Salman is here. Come dear, say hello to Zahra friend."

Mrs Kamal said with a big smile on her face when she saw her son walking towards us. He looked at me briefly as our eyes met and he looked at my leg that was still in badges. He giggled a little his eyes on my leg and once he looks up at me again he saw i was glaring at him. He cleared his throat instead to pretend and form his innocence. That made me glare at him more as his eyes were now on her, he smiled at her saying .

"Hello dear,Zhara's friend who i presume is very good with walking on heels."

"Oh yeah sure!i am very excellent at walking in heel and my name is Isabella but you can call me Bella"

"Well then, Bella, i am hoping you make time for your friend. She need to stop falling and injuring herself in those heels so you can help her and teach her."

"Of course i will....i will do my best to teach her i must be on my way now, bye and nice to meet you Salman."

She said smile and giggling and i had to pinch her elbow to make her stop. We are at the main door of the house and i am glad the little Yelp she gave wasn't so audible. She glare at me and i glared backed at her, she finally cracked a giggle when she saw i wasn't going to back done. She smile at me and she was like  wow omg what a hot handsome beautiful guy is this. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Isabella."

I said to her still glaring at her. She pouted her lips at me like a 3 year old asking for candy. And i shook my head at her and she smiled saying.

" what!I don't know that he was the salman you were talking about. He is so handsome and gosh his face is a beauty."

"Hmmm hmm, thank you Isabella, now stop goshing about my soon to be husband. Yes isabella that is the person that my parents want me to marry."

Issabella  opened her mouth with surprised look on her face. I am guessing she never ever saw that coming. She didn't close her mouth that was wide enough for fly to enter. She was really supersized as she looks at me like i some how had 10 heads. I just start laughing and shook my head at her. We ate at the gate now and the gate man wanted to open the gate for us. She quickly got over her shock as she said.

"Zahra i know you don't like salman but i plead with you, do not give him attitude and send him away. That man is every girl dream so please, accept him ...he is rich, beautiful and will certainly take good care of you.."

I groaned  in annoyance once more and she blew me a kiss in response. i gave her a fake smiled and she waved at me before running out of the gate and running off because her phone was ringing again.i got back inside to see Salman watching football In the parlor and before i could pass him he yelled " goal!" and that start making me and missed my steps.

"Oh it's you. Hmph i should have know it was you. How can you not walk properly even with out heels."

"Urgh this is all your fault! You shouted and started me.making me slip and fall."

"Ha you much be delusional. How is your inability to use your legs properly will be my fault?"

I glare at him and managed to stand up from the floor. I went to my room immediately coz i don't want to be disturbed by any one at all.i want to sleep,i wanted to practice my catwalk i wanted to do so many things but i don't know which one to do at first. In that moment my phone rang and rushed to pick it up unplugged so that i could receive the call.

" Zhara darling. It's been soo long we've herd your voices, it's your father dear, how are you doing?"

" I am doing very well dad...i am sorry i didn't keep in touch, modeling is morethan i expected"

"Oh Zhara you have always been an excellent child.i am sure that you are doing wonderful."

"Yes dad,thank you for always believing in me."

I said with a beautiful smile on my face forgetting he couldn't see it. Little did i know that he could feel my smile because after i said that with a smile on my face he said.

"It's good to feel you smile again. How i would love to see it again. It's been soo long."

" I know I missed you too Dad—"

"Oh yes the reason why i called.and your mother is coming for your engagement party in 4 days
