Chapter 26
As they reached the venue, Rania had an eerie feeling like something was about to happen, her hands started sweating and her heartbeat drummed in her ears.
Sean looked at her and said ' once we go inside we have to behave like a normal couple, ok!'
She nodded.
He knew the covenant thing better than her, if anyone got a whiff of his non- existent relationship with her they would come for them.
The driver signalled that they had reached, they both got out and were on the front of the door.
She put her hands on his arm and looked ahead.
He nodded and they entered.
All eyes were on them, Mr Conwell went out of his way and welcomed them.
He shook hands with Sean and tried to pat Rania's head, but she moved away just in time.
She was looking for her the only person that mattered to her, it was her grandmother.
She was not seen anywhere in the party.
This made Rania worried, and all sorts of bad thoughts came into her mind. She tried to shake them off but to no avail.
She looked at Sean, but he was already looking at her.
'What?'.she quizzed.
' it seems like you are searching for someone, Should I be worried?' he said in a jolly manner.
'seriously what are you? Why does it matter? I can do whatever you want and now I want to meet someone here desperately'. She said in a serious tone.
She was going to take her hand from her arm, when he put his other hand on it stopping her.
' you can do whatever you want, that's true, remember if you go behind my back, you'll pay dearly my sweet wife,'.
' I'm going to search for my grandmother, you ignorant'. She didn't complete and pursed her lips to control her tongue.
' I don't trust you Conwell lot, your tales of deceit and infidelity precedes you'. He said
' listen I'm not interested in any other history lesson on my family who you know better than me, let me go and I'll back when I meet her, please.
He released her hand and she disappeared into the party, his eyes were on her all the time, she occasionally smiled when she met someone and hastily excused herself.
He smiled inwardly at her innocence and simple ways.
Just then he felt an arm around his waist, and he turned it was Sybil.
She looked ravishing in a red dress.
Sean gritted his teeth, this was Mr Conwell's doing, his eyes searched for him and when it found him, he raised a glass and smirked.
He pulled Sybil's arm and took her upstairs. He didn't know that upstairs was the family quarter.
He went inside the first room he could bolted the door and in no time Sybil lips were on his.
He pushed her away ,but she didn't want to give up and kept kissing him.
His eyes searched for escape routes and he noticed the room he was in.
It was Rania's room. It was left the way it was.
He recognised it when he saw a type Indian dress she wore when she slept, it was kept neatly on the bed.
He jolted and pushed away Sybil lightly.
' what's happened to you Sean?'.
' not now'. And he left.
He was passing through a door when he heard laughter.
He went towards the voice and the door was ajar and he peeked inside.
It was Rania and her grandmother. They were talking and laughing.
She looked genuinely happy.
And as he went moving away when he heard ' are you happy with him, my lovely child'.
' I don't know' she replied all the happiness and laughter gone from her face.
' has he ever done' her grandmother began.
' no , he's not like that, we both can't accept each other and that sums up out story.
' this is not how your and his story will end Rania, remember that'. Her grandmother said.
' let's see than' she grimaced.
Sean felt bad that he heard her private conversation.
He was lost in his thoughts, when he remembered Sybil was in the room, he went there and after convincing her to leave , she nodded and went downstairs to the party.
As ,he turned to leave the room, he saw papers on the dressing table.
He picked it up and put in his under pocket.
He went downstairs and he saw that Rania was standing in the corner.
He went towards her ,she looked at him and he asked' did you meet your grandmother'?.
' I did'.
They were silently standing together.
The DJ played a slow number and all the couple's were on the dance floor.
' let's go' he said.
' I'm not dancing with you ' .
' they are looking at us, we have too'.
He took her hand and walked to the dancefloor.
He put his hand on her waist and she reluctantly put her hand on his shoulder and they started swaying to the music,she was light on her feet.
He twirled her and she softly crashed on his chest.
He then pulled her closer, so that her face on his shoulder and his on her side of her face.
They danced.
' this is not right Mr Knightley, we are too close to each other'.she said
' are you afraid of that Miss Conwell?'.he whispered into her ear.
' I'm not afraid of you,'. She said.
' I know that miss Conwell, let's just say that this is our farewell dance,'.
' what do you mean by that'.? She asked.
He just smiled and kept dancing.
Everyone was watching them, some more than others.
The music stopped and everyone dispersed from the dance floor.
Mr Conwell came in the middle of the hall and he had a mic in his hand and he said' As you all know my lovely daughter Rania and my son-in-law Sean are here, give them a huge round of applause,they are celebrating their first month anniversary with us and my daughter Elena has prepared a little something for our star couple.'
Elena came into view and she set up the projector and at first it was blank and then as the video came, it showed Rania dancing with someone and that certain person was not her husband.
