Hisham sighed deeply, running his hands over his head. He just ended the call with his father, and he told him the deal wasn't successful so he will be coming back next week and he also left a message for Amina. Couldn't he call her up himself and inform her?' Hisham couldn't help but ask himself. His father is trying everything to hook them up, but are they really destined to be together ?

If yes, then why does it seem so hard to forget Mufida and move on ?

Hisham threw his phone on the bed, and left to deliver his father's message. He knew that Amina wasn't in her room, because he saw her with a friend in the sitting room when he returned from the hospital, and he is very sure they are still there watching nothing but kdrama series, and crushing on the characters, that are only handsome with the help of plastic surgery. *rolls his eyes*

Pfft, girls!! Over dramatic gender.

"Meema this is your favorite series and you don't even laugh at the funny moments anymore, are you okay?"that made him stop. Swears, he didn't mean to eavesdrop but he just felt like overhearing their conversation.

"I'm okay Humaira."Amina replied, her voice very low.

"I don't believe you, and also you don't look okay at all. You've eye bags under your eyes do you even sleep?"

"I try to."

What does she mean by she try to ?

"That means you don't. What's wrong? You don't look yourself anymore, sometimes I wonder if this is really Meema."Humaira stated.

"Honestly speaking, I don't feel like me too, my life is not the same anymore. The one that always find a way to bring a smile to my face is kaka and she is no more, she isn't with me, and my freedom is also being taken away."The way she was speaking it was as if she was crying, he couldn't tell as she was backing him.

"Please don't say that. View things in a different way. Kaka is no more, she is in a better place In Sha Allah, and about this marriage think of it as your new life, a chance to start afresh with someone new in your life, you'll have a different experience in life."

Amina stared intensely at Humaira as if she was making any sense of is ready to put that thinking in her head. She isn't that dumb!

"This is real life and not reel life, do you think if I love Ya Hisham I'll have a problem of giving this relationship a chance?"Amina questioned, and Humaira kept mute. "How I wish kaka was here."she sobbed.

"I'm sorry Meema, I'm just trying to make you understand."

"Well, it's not that simple."

Hisham turned to leave, he had heard enough to worry about. Now he understands how the dead of kaka infected Amina a lot, she is still in grieve. How he wish he can talk his father out of the marriage thingy.

He was about walking to his room when he remembered about his father's message, it was a bad timing but he will still tell her about it. He went to her without any hesitation, he paid no heed to Humaira.

"Uh...baba said I should ask you if you want to go to Maiduguri for a few days before the wedding."he knew the wedding part' will ruin everything all over again but he said it anyways.

Amina looked up at him with her puffy eyes, no matter how stubborn she is, she missed her family. Even though Kaka is no more, at least the place will make her feel at home not the way she stays suffocated in this house.

"Yes, I'd love to."Amina smiled and wiped off the dried tears on her face.

"I can come with you, if you don't mind?"

That wasn't suppose to come out.

Amina looked up at him, more like glared at him, that was enough to make him understand that she don't want to with him but he was still expecting an answer from her.

Of course, she mind.

"No, that's not needed."She rejected shaking her head.

"I insist."

Like what the h-

Didn't he get what I just said No as in N O - no, what's with him and insisting about going to Maiduguri with me? Kaiii!!

"Okay."Amina replied that's only when he figured out how to use his legs to walk back to his room.

"Yeeeeeeee."Humaira squealed, sitting closer to Amina.

"What now???"Amina pushed her away.

"Your habibi...Perfect!!"Humaira ended with a wink. "You guys look perfect together."

"Habibi?"Amina released a scoff. "Really Humaira? Didn't you see the amount of attitude he had on his shoulders while talking to me? I was surprised when he offered to follow me."

"Exactly!!! His attitude and your stubbornness, what's more perfect than that?"Humaira asked, wiggling her brows at Amina.

Amina huffed and rolled her eyes. "I'm I stubborn?"Humaira shook her head, stifling a laugh. "Then not a word from you about this okay?"

"Bu..."

"Not a word from you Humaira."Amina cut in, with a serious look, and Humaira nodded unwillingly.

"Mufida, Ya Haidar is here to see you."Sa'eed announced to Mufida who was lying on the hospital bed pressing her phone. She turned slightly to look at Sa'eed, glared at him before turning her attention back to her phone. "He is..."

"I heard you the first time, tell him I don't want to meet with him."Mufida ended with an eye roll.

"And why is that?"that was Haidar who was unknowingly standing by the door watching her.

Mufida couldn't even look up from her phone because of how embarrassed she felt. She was just joking around small with Sa'eed she wasn't serious about it, but now what will Haidar think of it.

Gosh! She deadpanned.

Sa'eed stuck out his tongue at her before leaving the place, he is sixteen but still act childish.

Haidar chuckled lightly before pulling a chair and settling down beside Mufida. He cleared his throat once, twice but Mufida didn't budge, he had to laugh out loud at her attitude.

"It's not funny."Mufida mumbled keeping her phone aside.

"So you don't want to meet with me?"Haidar teased furrowing his eyebrows at her, playfully.

"Do I have to repeat myself?"Mufida retorted with a mischievous grin.

"Okay then, I'll just leave."Haidar made an attempt to stand up to see if Mufida will try to stop him.

"No, wait."Mufida half yelled, biting her lower lip. "I mean you didn't get to meet umma so you can't leave yet."

"Oh is that so?"Haidar questioned a hint of laughter in his voice. "I should wait for her. So, how are you feeling now?"

"Well, better Alhamdulillah. I'm feeling a bit weak tho."Mufida replied with a small smile.

"May Allah grant you shifa."Haidar prayed, and Mufida replied with 'Ameen'

"Was that the reason why you were acting weird the other day?"

"I didn't want to tell you about it, and I got worried so I had to leave to confirm if the news was not a rumor, for that I'm sor..."

"No, please don't."Mufida cut in. "I've heard enough of that, and also it's not your fault so don't apologize."

Haidar sighed. "It was Maryam that called me up."he didn't miss the way mufida's expression changed all of a sudden.

"She is your stepsister right?"

"Yeah, just found out about it."Haidar whispered, with a small smile.

"She was a real troublemaker, I hope she isn't like that now?"

"How I'm I suppose to know that?"Haidar replied her question with a question cracking both of them up.

"She shouldn't try what she did to Heenah with me because wallahilAzeem I won't spare her. I won't spare anyone that will come between me and my habibi."

Haidar laughed clutching his stomach tightly. "You're really scary, I'll have to rethink about my decision."

"Your decision about marrying me huh?"Mufida questioned eyeing him slowly.

Haidar shook his head still laughing. "No, not that about inviting Maryam to our wedding."

"You were even planning on inviting her?"Mufida gasped, dramatically placing her right hand over her chest.

"I said I'll think about it."He replied going with the flow.

"You don't have to think about it, I'll be the one to make the decision."Mufida bossed.

"Ay yay captain, your wish is my command."

Mufida facepalmed herself. "You really act like a kid."

"Don't mind me. So, do you talk with Hisham?"

"Why?"Mufida arched her brows at him.

"Nothing, just asking."

Mufida smiled mischievously and said. "Yes, we talk almost all the time, he calls me to his office everyday and talk."

Gosh! Haidar's face expression was indeed a sight to behold. He was literally burning with jealousy. Like jealous of his own brother.

"What do you talk about?"Haidar asked, and cleared his throat.

Mufida was trying so hard to hold back her laughter. "Work, what else? I knew you were thinking about something else, so you were jealous?"

"No, why would I be?"Haidar retorted with an eye roll. "I almost forgot the interior designer, they called me this morning enquiring about your choices, I wanted to ask you first before fixing another meeting."

Mufida sighed. "I can't decide alone, I'll talk to Raheenah and see if she have time."

"Okay then, I'll leave now. Get well soon, I love you."He flashed her his choicest camera smile.

"I know you do, take care."Mufida smiled back.

"I'll call later."
