Is That So Bad?

Iman: You love me


Hamoodi: Of course I do


But getting me to keep saying it isn't good for either of us. You understand the implications of it, right?


Iman: what are the implications?


Hamoodi: that I drop everything and marry you


Why? Why is that the implication? Why can't it just be that I love him and he loves me and we relish in that? Isn't it disrespectful to Allah to not acknowledge the love he gives us?


Iman: is that so bad?


I knew already what he would say. That it's "the opposite" or something of the sort. Like $@719's fateful "I don't hate you, it's the opposite". The eastern man Uno reverse for emotion.


Hamoodi: quite the opposite actually


There's more, but I won't share it. It's private between the two of us and Hamoodi might say. I just wonder...when did my life become written by the Brontë sisters? Why can't brown men let themselves be cared for?
