Chapter 367 – Halima
A beautiful woman.
She had brown skin like polished copper, with long black hair braided into dozens of small knits falling over her shoulders. Her eyes were dark, but peaceful, like the darkness of the night.
That beautiful woman became a single mother because of a foolish mistake in her youth, when she gave herself to a man who promised her the sky and the stars as the surplus after their wedding.
She let him into her fragile heart, went against her parents who had warned her not to be with a man before marriage…all for the sake of love.
But love is blind, as people love to say.
Especially when it's your first love, your first real contact with the opposite gender. You'd think this was the promised one, the one sent directly by God for you and you alone.
So you stick with him, ignoring the obvious red flags because…
"No one is perfect."
Right?
