View More5 years later After everything that has happened, I can’t believe I’m willingly going to that house. It’s been five years but I still haven’t forgotten a single thing that happened, how my feelings got hurt, how my emotions were played. I still remember that night like it was just a few minutes ago. FLASHBACK I braced myself although the whole night, I cried throughout as I was deeply hurt, deeper than a mirror could cut someone. I was told to leave the park because it was already time for it to close. I walked to a hobo corner and sat down, I didn’t care if it was safe or not, all I could think about is Khalil. My eyes had become small and a lot swelled, and my face had a lot of questions that my heart didn’t want to answer. My mind continuously replayed a question, ‘How did Abu know that Khalil isn’t actually a cancer patient’ if I remember clearly I never told him that. I was laid on the floor, tears streaming down and rain beating me. As the rain poured heavily flash of lightni
Warm air rises and cold air rushes in underneath to replace it. My face reddened in anger and frustration, tears streaming down to face. I clenched my fists, still standing in the same position, my heartbeat got increased as my eyes looked down in shock."What did you say?" I whispered, I looked up at him, still crying, hoping for him to tell me that he is wrong "What did you say?" I asked again; my voice sounding low and calm."What did you say Rayan." I held his shirt collar, "Repeat what you said" I yelled He wasn’t able to look me in the eyes, his face showed nothing but pity, and he pitted me. "Where is Khalil Rayan? Where is he? Tell me where he is." I yelled "I’m sorry." He mumbled I shook my head "No, no. You aren’t sorry, you didn’t do anything wrong did you?" I sniffed walking backward "Khalil is fine, I know he is, there isn’t anything wrong with him. He is fine, right Rayan?" I asked as tears streamed down my cheek "Right Rayan" I walked towards me "Tell me Khalil is m
I stood in front of the door, continuously banging on it, I have been in this exact position for a couple of minutes, I need answers, I’m not leaving this house without Khalil. I never thought that Rayan will throw me out of his house. I know he is hiding something from me, if isn’t then he wouldn’t have stopped Abu from talking. I have to get Khalil out of there before they hurt him or do anything to him."Open the door," I yelled as I continued to bang on it."Open it! Where is Khalil? What did you do to him." I asked but still no response.They leave me no choice, If they don’t open the door on the count of three, I will call the cops."I’m gonna count from one to three, tell me where Khalil is or I will call the cops.” I said "One……two……three." I paused and looked at the door"That does it, If you can’t tell me where Khalil is then I have to use the authority." I dialed their number, and it rang for a couple of seconds before it ended, I called them again and on the second ring, i
The ride to Rayan’s house took almost forever. I badly needed answers, Abu has no right to take Khalil away, he has no right to leave with Khalil without even caring to inform me. If anything, absolutely anything happens to Khalil I won’t spare him, I won’t. I trust Rayan but I don’t trust Abu, I don’t even know who exactly he is. "We are here Miss." The driver said "Thank you." I paid him.Once I got off the car, I walked towards the entrance gate, the watchman looked closely at me, he took off his glasses and looked at me from head to toe. Before I could say anything he opened the gate for me. Maybe he recognizes me after all, this isn’t the first time I am here.I entered the compound and in a short, while I approached the house entrance door, some men were standing at the front door."Who are you miss?" One of the men said "I’m Afraah, I’m here to meet my brother," I responded "Your brother isn’t here Miss.""He’s here, just let me in." "Miss please leave." He showed me the w
I can’t be thankful enough for what happened. This still feels like a dream, a dream I don’t want to ever wake up from. I can’t believe, everything is going to be fine, after a whole year of tears and pain, Khalil is finally going to get better.As I left the doctor's office, I head down to see Khalil. I can’t wait to break the news to him. He will be so happy, I bet he won’t believe me until the doctor tells him. Oh lord, thank you for everything. I had a broad smile on my face when I walked into Khalil’s room, but the smile faded once I didn’t see Khalil."Khalil,” I said but there wasn’t any response from him. I knocked on the bathroom door and placed my ear on the door. No sound was coming from inside, I opened the door and peeked my head though, Khalil wasn’t in the bathroom. "Khalil" I called out I wonder where he is. I was looking around the room when a nurse walked in "Hi, can you please tell me where Khalil is, I mean the patient that was treated here.""Uhm….I don’t know"
I’ve been here for hours now, how many hours? I have no idea. Minutes after minutes I stand up and peeked through the glass hole. It’s been more than an hour now since the nurse walked out of the room. The first time she walked out, I asked her how Khalil was doing but she didn’t give me any valuable information. I have been sitting by myself for minutes, after I signed the hospital formality form, Abu said he was going to take it to the reception, and since then he hasn’t come back. I rested my back on the chair and closed my eyes. My eyeballs are already tired of crying, I have no tears left to waste.As I closed my eyes, in a short while, I heard the doctor's voice "Miss Afraah." He said I opened my eyes and in an instant, I stood up "Yes, is Khalil okay? Is he fine?" I hurriedly asked "Relax, we have run some tests on him and found out some necessary things I think you should know about.""Necessary things?""Yes, some necessary things." He repeated"Is he fine?" My heart skipp
I was sited on the waiting chair outside Khalil’s room. Tears continuously fell to my chin my eyelashes were constantly dripping tears. This is all my fault, if I had not left Khalil alone nothing like this would happen. Why! Why? Did I leave him home alone? My tears were uncontrollably falling, I didn’t care about the people looking at me, this is a hospital and I’m sure I’m not the first person to have cried in here before. Noor! She must have done something to him, I know it I just know that she wouldn’t give me empty threats. I should have listened when she said she will hurt Khalil, I’m such a fool, I foolishly followed Rayan, why did I do that?"Khalil!" I whimpered If anything happens to him I won’t spare Noor, I won’t let her be. She is the cause of everything since day one. I slowly wiped my tears when I heard footsteps coming in my direction. I knew it is Abu, I didn’t want him to see me crying. Abu brought Khalil to this hospital, he says it’s the best hospital in the cit
Noor POVI hate the fact that I have to endure Afraah and her brother, their presence remind me of their mother and her bad ways.I remember the first time I met her mom, I was just five years back then, not that I remember clearly but I will never forget what she did, I will never forget the way she acted toward my mother. Afraah thinks that I know nothing about her mom but she has no idea what I faced when I was a kid, she thinks I’m happy doing everything I do. Yes, it feels good to take revenge on her and Khalil but it will never change what her mom did to my mom let alone what she did to my late father.FLASHBACK We were in the car on our way to amazing land, we were going to celebrate my birthday there. I was so happy, I have been wanting to go to amazing land but my mom and dad were too busy, I recalled the time they surprised me with the tickets, I was so happy when they promised to celebrate my birthday there.I remember everything like it was just yesterday. The radio was
Once we arrived at Rayan’s house, he parked the car and walked towards the door, as the door opened, it revealed a lavish, well-decorated living room. There were a few people there, all were wealthy if not beyond. Everything and everywhere was beautifully decorated, I’m not exaggerating but even the waiters and waitresses smelled money. When Rayan talked about his uncle’s wedding reception, I thought it is going to be a simple but classy reception but what I’m seeing right now is beyond. I kinda feel like I don’t belong there, everyone here screams money and I just look like I don’t belong here.Rayan look at me, and he gave me a warm smile, it was like he noticed how tense I was. I smiled back and let out a breath. Whether I belong here or not, it doesn’t matter what matters is that I am here. Walking into the living room the first person we approached is a man that had a broad smile on his face "You made it! I’m so happy." He said Is he talking to me? "You look, great dear." He s
My alarm ring twice before I woke up and switched the annoying thing off. I really hate mornings especially Monday morning but I have no choice than to wake up. It is only six am, I should probably be sleeping considering I came back home late but I can’t.I moved the blanket aside and rubbed my eyes as I stretched my eyes a loud yawn escaped my mouth. I stood up and stretched my way to the drawer to take out my work clothes which is a black fitted skirt, a white t-shirt with the word Amees Bakery printed in a bold black and I take out my flat shoes. I’m supposed to be wearing a white canvas but didn’t have much money to spare on a single pair of shoes.I grabbed my towel and head to the bathroom. Starting a quick shower and going to brush my teeth and fix my hair.My name is Afraah, I’m fair in complexion, I’m five feet two inches, my lips are thick and pink, I have a pointed nose, brown eyes and I’m quite slim. I live with my stepmother who has three children and my younger brother
