The next day, Asiya was allowed out of her room to see Khalid at least but she refused because she felt too weam. She would have been discharged the next day but due to her slightly damaged womb and minor surgery, she was retained for observstions. She was a lot stonger now but she knew she'd break down the moment she saw Khalid. She never knew her almost perfect life would turn into something so devastating like what happened. Her husband being in an accident, she losing her baby without knowing about the baby was all somethimg she couldn't take. Life had really shown her it's bitter side in just 3 days. She hadn't been this sad except for when she lost her father. Even when she assumed Khalid was cheating on her, she wasn't this sad.

Last night she couldn't even sleep properly. Or rather, didn't sleep at all. She kept thinking about how Mummy will keep cursing for not being able to give birth again. She thought of how people would point fingers at her. And worst of all, she thought if Allah doesn't bless her with another child, Khalid might marry again.

Khalid just like Asiya had gotten better. His bruises had healed and he could walk properly. Only his head injury needed more attention. It had been 3 days eversince he'd seen Asiya. He couldn't bear it anymore. He needed to be by her side and assure herb that all will be fine. He knew how much she loved kids and he knew very well that losing one would be very hard for her to deal with. Nevertheless he was also in pain. He felt like everything had stopped for him but he had to be strong for his wife.

He'd just finished having a bowl of soup mama brought him and Asiya. Asiya was sleeping so hers was in the food basket in his room. Ya Musa was busy chatting on his phone on the couch in Khalid's room. He really wanted to go see if Asiya was up already. He'd yearned for her and he missed her so much.

"Listen Ya Musa, please can i go see Asiya?"

"But--"

"Please just ten mintes. I know the doctors don't allow it but i honestly miss her. I mean i couldn't even sleep properly last night fah,"

"Okay then lover boy. The older brother that isn't married won't understand. It's the younger one that is married that'll lecture him,"

"Better go and find a wife o, you're getting too old. You're already 31,"

"Just stop it. Go and see your wife,"

"Thanks. If anyone asks just say i'm taking a bath please,"

Ya Musa nodded and Khalid went to Asiya's room. He opened the door slowly and saw that the lights were off.

This must be where she is in her mind, darkness.

He noticed she was sleeping peacefully and hands were tightly around her stomach. He pushed back his tears at the mere thought of the baby. Her cheeks had dried tears on them. She was obviously tired of crying that she fell asleep.

He quietly sat on the stool by her bed and carefully took her left hand in his. He caressed her hair with his spare hands and kissed her forehead. He tried pushing back his tears but couldn't. He couldn't bare see his wife in the condition she was in.

"You're crying, why?" He heard her speak. Her voice was so low, faint and weak, you could barely hear anything.

"No...baby, I didn't wake you up did i?" He said in a low tone too.

She nodded her head.

"I'm sorry," she whispered,"

"For?"

"Our baby," Her voice was shaky as she spoke and burst into silent sobs.

He wiped her tears with his thumb and caressed her cheeks.

"Baby it's not your fault, it was destined to happen. This baby just wasn't ours, it's in a better place. Allah will bless us with another one in shaaAllah.,"

"It's my fault, if only I'd waited for the car to stop completely before rushing out to see you--" Her sobs interrupted.

"It's nobody's fault stop blaming your self please, Allah is here for us,"

He helped her sit up against the headboard and held both her hands.

"But i won't be able to conceive again, remember?"

"Might not be able to conceive again!," he corrected sternly.

"Yes but what if i don't. Won't you mind? Won't you marry again?"

"Shhh, don't ever say that. I have you,  don't need anybody again. If that happens, which i don't pray for then we'll just adopt a child. But marrying again, that won't happen,"

"Promise?"

"I promise you Asiya,"

"I love you King,"

"I love you too Queen. I was told i might be discharged later today,"

"Oh me too,"

"Oh. Let me get you some soup mama brought for us. You were sleeping so you can have yours now."

He went back to his room to get her soup only to find Musa staring at him.

"I thought you said ten minutes. You've spent almost thirty minutes. If anyone finds out I'll be in deep shit."

"Oh please no one will find out. Lemme take her soup to her. I'll be back,"

"Okay. I'd have come see her now but i know you two are having your time now so just send my greetings,"

"Lol okay,"

He quickly went to Asiya's room and he found her trying to get down but she couldn't because she still had stitches on her lower stomach. He rushed to her and dropped the soup on the table.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Uhm i got my period so i was hoping if there's a sanitary pad in the bathroom for me to use,"

"Oh erh well, lie down I'll get one for you," He helped her back on the bed and went to check if there was any in the bathroom but there wasn't.

"There's none, what now?"

"Ask the nurses,"

"I can't just go and ask them mana. Wait Amirah left her bag here, there might be one inside. He went back to his room to check Amirah's bag and luckily there was one. He was grateful Ya Musa had fallen asleep else he'd have teased him.

"Found one!" He said waving the pink wrap in the air.

"Alhamdulillah. Here give it to me i'll---" she winced as she tried getting down,"

"Wait there,"

He helped her down and she used his body as support to walk to the bathroom. He sat her down on the stool in the bath tub, went back to get the pad and then came back.

"I have to bend to rinse out and wear it, i can't bend. Erhh--"

"I'll do it," He said before she finished her sentence.

He rinsed her out and helped her wear it. He got her out of the tub and walked her back to the room just like earlier on.

"Thanks, and sorry,"

"For?"

"Thanks for helping me and sorry for seeing the ladies mess,"

"Uhh that, it's no problem. Let me get back before someone comes in. I'll see you later,"

He kissed her on her forehead and turned to leave. Just as he made a step, the doctor came in and Khalid looked as guilty as ever.

"No need to feel guilty." The doctor laughed. "You two are discharged but your wife has to come for check ups and her stitches have to be dressed,"

"Oh thank you so much doctor. I appreciate,"

He went back to his room and there, a nurse was waiting for him to change the bandage on his forehead. Just on cue, mama and Amirah arrived. They set everything for Khalid and Amirah and took them to the car.

"I'll get her," Khalid said to them while they went outside and he went to get Asiya.

Few minutes later they were in Khalid's parents house. Mama suggested that they stayed there for some few days until they both got better, especially Asiya.

Quick updates eh!
Alhamdulillah things are slowly getting better for them and they've decided to support each other.
