Adam POV:

"You know I was planing to celebrate with my friends our freedom" she said extremely happy and that brought a smile on my face. Nada was really innocent person without her realizing.

"What will you do then?" I asked enjoining her excitement.

"We are going to the beach tomorrow. Isn't it wonderful idea" once the word 'beach' left her mouth I froze and the smile dropped from my face. Ever since what happened I didn't went there. I didn't want to remember her even though I never forgot!

"Adam" she said softly snapping me out of my memories.

"Don't go" I said but my voice came like a whisper I sounded desperate. The hell with this!

"Why?" She asked confused but I couldn't say anything, not like that ,not on the phone.

"Nothing. Just please take care of your self, please" I said loudly as I could but there was desperation again.

"Sure I'll. Bu-"

"I've to go. Bye" I cut her before any other word and said in a rush and hung up without waiting her reply.

I throw the phone on the bed and laid on my back my hands under my head looking at the ceiling and it was like a movie screen of my life. Five years and it seemed like it was happening again there in front of me now! Her smile. Her giggles. Her laughs. Her happiness. Her teasings. When she jumped on my back closing my eyes with her small hands and ordering me to run and she would control me. Her small hands that made me see through them. Her silky hair flying with the wind everywhere making her grumpy and me laughing and messing it more to make her run after me.

Suddenly while running there was water on the walk in sea ,she slipped , losing her balance , her shriek from the sudden change of everything. Her screams in my ears.

I sat up on the bed closing my ears quickly but the sound couldn't be blocked now it wasn't in the air anymore it was inside me I couldn't shut it even by my failed attempts to close my ears.

Her face. Her scared face. Her pleading eyes. Her little and soft voice turned to horrified screams.

I couldn't get that anymore. How could I just forget that day? Why couldn't I forget?
Everyone forgot. Why couldn't I?

I felt tears rolling down.

"How pathetic?" I yelled at myself. Crying never helped and never will. Wasn't she crying? Didn't everyone cry? Nothing happened. Nothing changed.

My bedroom's door snapped open and mom was looking at me with wide eyes.
It wasn't the first time. It'd been five damned years. Five years and still it played in front of me with clear details.

Mom ran to my side and hugged me I could feel her tears on my now wet shirt I hugged tighter and the words left my lips on their own.

"Mom, I missed her so much. So much. It's still happening in front of me! Why can't it leave me?" Again no answer. Why couldn't I forget?!

~~~~~~

I woke up the next day on fajr time still drained from the lack of sleep because whenever I slept I got a nightmare. I sighed and went to make ablution then prayed. I sat in the balcony reading Qur'an to calm myself down before work. I sighed again and read as much as I could then I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was mom telling me the breakfast was ready. I went to the dining room and ate with my parents in silence it was as if we agreed not to talk about anything. Mom's eyes were puffy , dad's were tired and I was sure last night wasn't comfortable to any of us.

~~~~~~

I was checking on Nada from time to time to make sure she was safe. I knew she didn't talk but she felt something odd but I didn't plan on telling her in the mean time. I wasn't comfortable to talk about it even after five years. I called Nada to check on her again but she didn't answer. Maybe she didn't hear it. I tried again and again but no answer I was getting anxious by the time passing and was pacing back and forth in the room then after 40 minutes she answered I couldn't help but sighed in relief but that didn't make any excuse not to answer all that time.

"Where were you?" I yelled at her but regretted it instantly. I didn't have a right to yell at her.

"Don't yell" she said sternly and I couldn't suppress the smile that escaped to my lips as weird as it sounds.

"Sorry. I was worried" I said in low voice and heard her sighed.

"Zain was running after me to threw sand on me but we ended jumping in the sea from the walk in the sea with our clothes so I went to change" she said happily about the moment while me on the other hand was tensed and angry. Tensed for the fact that they were running on the walk in the sea and jumped. Angry for the fact that Zain was running after her and enjoying their time together. I couldn't help but feel jealous about their relation.

Woah! Did I say jealous?!

"Next time take care more than this you may have slipped while running" I said after clearing my throat to distract myself from my new discovery.

"Yes, dad" I could imagine her rolling her eyes. I smiled at their similarity!

You are the one I chose to bear Nada for. If she wasn't just like you I'd have never bear a second with her grumpy and horrible attitude! I said to her picture on my desk.

-So what do you think of Adam and that 'she'. And how do you find the new information about Adam bearing Nada??!
