Love Prose

When They Met By Fate

They had first met at a public library, when they decided to have a cold drink before lending the book "Learning from pain".

They offered to share the yoghurt since there was only one left and they both wanted it.

When their eyes first locked, it was the best thing that had ever happened to them. They both knew that they had experienced love at first sight, Love by Fate.

Hamdalah and AbdurRahman wouldn't stop thinking of each other. They both love themselves but the thought of 'Does he/she love me back?' prevented them from expressing their feelings.

AbdurRahman had traveled overseas to see his father, leaving Hamdalah with only a gift and note. 

The love they shared for each other grew stronger and deeper that the distance and space between them couldn't extinguish the love that they shared for each other. Rather, they saw how unbearable it was to live without each other.

Hamdalah had found someone else, handsome, religious, rich and loving but the love for AbdurRahman wouldn't make her open her heart to the man, not when he already owns her heart.

She waited for his return, to express the love that she bore in her heart.

He had returned by surprise, visiting her office and offering her a bouquet of flowers.

They went to a nearby restaurant and expressed their love for each other.

"Let's get married in no time".

"Yes Hamdalah. I love you".

"I love you too AbdurRahman".
