RiaXwriter_  thank you for the cover❤️

I have good news for you,Mahmud. You know I told you Asmau is married right? She got married two months ago to doctor Hameed." Noorie said and took a sip from her coffee.

"It funny how they both met in this hospital and got married. Do you even know what? Asmau is pregnant. Do you believe that? I mean Asmau will be a mother. That unserious girl will be a mother." Noorie laughed out loud. She almost choke on her coffee. Ever since Mahmud was involved in an accident six months ago,Noorie suddenly likes coffee. Mahmud's favorite coffee.

"They met in this hospital after your accident. They started dating and then got married. Now she is pregnant and you are still lying on this bed. That is not fair,Mahmud. Asmau will be a mother before me. We always talk about how we will get pregnant at the same time and our kids will be birthday mate,but that girl betrayed me. Funny right?" Noorie asked Mahmud like she was expecting an answer.

"Even if I want our kids to be birthday mate,that won't be possible because you are just lying on this bed. You need to get up,Mahmud. We need to make some babies. Asmau can't be the only mother here." Noorie muttered. She got up from her sitting position and walked to the toilet. She came out shortly and sat on the couch again.

She is already used to staying in the hospital that she feels comfortable around it. 

"I have another gist for you. I want to gist you about my mother. You know we are not really close right? So she told me something on our wedding day. She told she has been married two times before but none of them worked out. She was even married to my uncle and I didn't know. Just imagine. I don't know why they like hiding things from me in that house. I am tired of how they treat me like a baby. Always hiding things from me." She mumbled,shaking her head. This is the exact same way Noorie talks to Mahmud everyday.

She will tell him about how her day went. She will even talk to him about her childhood sometimes. If a stranger sees her talking to Mahmud,they will think she is mad because how can you be taking to someone for the past six month without getting a reply even once? Her family were already used to her behavior so they just overlook it thinking it not a big deal.

Noorie is slowly loosing her mind. She doesn't talk to anyone that much except her Mahmud. Atimes she will talk for hours,pray and cry. Noorie believes Mahmud will wake up one day.

"Assallamu'alaikum." Mrs Modibbo muttered to which Noorie responded. She smiled at her daughter in law and sat on another couch. Noorie continued talking to Mahmud about their wedding day. She didn't mind her mother in law's presence.

Two doctors also came inside the room to check on Mahmud. That was her clue to keep shut.

"How is he doing,doctor?" Mrs Modibbo asked.

"Honestly He isn't responding to treatment. His condition has not improve at all. Am afraid he won't survive this." The doctor whispered. He doesn't want Noorie to hear him. The other day the doctor talked about how Mahmud was not responding to treatment and she made a scene in the hospital. She kept on talking about how the doctor was lying because she is also a doctor and understands how things work.

Mrs Modibbo simply nodded at the doctor. That is the only thing the doctor says whenever she asks of her son's health. They are only waiting for a miracle to happen because honestly they don't think Mahmud will wake up again.

Noorie heard what the doctor said,but pretend she didn't hear him. She knows in her heart Mahmud will get well.

"I think everything is perfect. I just have to collect the cake from Zainab downstairs and everything will be perfect. What do you think of the decoration,Mahmud? Do you like it?" Noorie asked,grinning at her husband. Not like she expected him to reply her.

"I will be right back." She said and left the room. She went downstairs and collected the cake from her friend,Zainab.

"Thank you so much. I love the cake. It looks beautiful." She smiled at Zainab and gave her money. She went back upstairs to the room with the cake.

"Your cake is here,Mahmud. I won't show you the cake till everyone arrives . It your birthday today and I am very excited. We will be celebrating it here." She kept the cake on a table and sat near Mahmud.

"Will you wake up today ? It your birthday,Mahmud. You will like to celebrate it with everyone right?" She asked,taking a sip from the coffee she just made. "I know you will like to celebrate it so that is why I invited our family over. They will be so happy celebrating your birthday here." She smiled sadly,looking at her husband's pale face.

"I just need you to wake up. These doctors are all saying nonsense so I need you to wake up and prove them wrong. Please Mahmud. Prove them wrong." She said with shaky voice. Seeing Mahmud like this everyday saddens her a lot. She has tried everything she could to make her feel less sad,but it not working at all. She already feels guilty about how she treated Mahmud in the past,but Anisa won't stop insulting her. She makes her feel like an awful person. Anisa hates her so much.

She quickly wipe away her tears and made sure everything is set. The time is 4pm already and they might come in anytime from now.

She heard a light knock on the door and quickly opened it. Her mother in law was the one she first saw at the door. She smiled at her and let her in. She was surprised to see everyone here. It seems like they all came together.

Everyone was surprise to see so much decoration. They never expected her to celebrate his birthday or anything. She just called them to come to the hospital by 4pm and no one knew what she was up to.

"What is this?" Mrs Modibbo asked. She was the one to break the silence in the room. Everybody else was busy thinking of how Mahmud's accident affected Noorie. She is loosing her senses.

"A birthday party for my husband." She replied,smiling. The old Noorie would have been very shy to call Mahmud her husband especially if Goggo is present.

"Your husband that is in coma or which husband are you taking about?" Mrs Modibbo was forced to ask. She didn't mean to shout but she couldn't control it.

"He won't be in coma forever. He will wake up one day." Noorie replied her. Goggo was scared seeing her granddaughter like this. She is acting like a lunatic. Planning a birthday for someone in coma.

Mrs Modibbo look at her daughter in law and broke down in tears. She is Mahmud's mother and she feels sad about her son's condition,but seeing Noorie like this scares her. She is acting crazy. Who knows maybe she developed a metal problem.

"Noorie!" Goggo called with glistening eyes. "Why did you plan something like this without telling us? The doctor said we shouldn't disturb him. Why will you even plan something like this in a hospital?" Goggo asked. She was tired of fighting her tears so she just let them out. They all thought it wasn't a big deal when Noorie started all those strange thing,but they can clearly see it affecting her now.

"I told you this girl is fake. She is just pretending. Why else will she do something like this when she knows too much noise will affect Mahmud? She just wants to hurt him. Quit the act,Noorie! It doesn't fit you!" Anisa yelled,glaring at Noorie.

"If you don't want to celebrate with us feel free to go out. I don't need anyone to celebrate my husband's birthday." Noorie said. She carries the cake and sat close to Mahmud. Gently,she started singing the happy birthday song to his ear. She cut the cake with a small knife and slowly fed it to herself.

Asmau couldn't take it anymore. She burst into tears and left the room with her husband following her.

Everyone except Noorie was crying. They were all pitying her except Anisa who was crying for her brother.

"Mummy please take care of Mahmud. I need to go home. I will be back soon." Noorie said to her mother in law. She carries her bag and went out of the room. No one asked where she was going. They were all getting used to this new Noorie. Whenever she says she is going home,that means she is going home to pray and cry. That is the only thing she does at home. Ever since the accident she has refused to go back to her matrimonial home. She said she will only go there if Mahmud is going with her.

"I think she should see a doctor. We shouldn't just keep quiet and look at her. I am honestly afraid. What do you think?" Mrs Modibbo asked.

"You are right. She needs to see a therapist." Goggo replied her.

"I don't know why they are worried about that pretender." Anisa mumbled.

"Did you say something?" Mrs Modibbo asked her daughter.

"No I didn't." She replied her and went out of the room. Staying in that room suffocates her.

What is Anisa's problem?😂😂

What do you think of Noorie? Is she mentally okay?
