"Fatima, wake up, it's time for fajr" I heard someone saying to me from a far distance,

"I'm awake, I'm awake" I said sleepily,

I heard the person giggling, I rubbed my eyes to clear the sleep out. I saw Aman standing in front of me with a stern look,

"I thought I just heard him giggling" I thought to myself, he really is a pro in changing his expressions,

"ermm I'm going to the masjid now" he said as he left,

It has become a routine now, for the past one week we've been living together, Aman always wakes me up for fajr before he leaves for the masjid, then when he returns, he would recite the Quran, masha Allah his voice is very great, I'll always stay close to him to listen and feel peace within.

"Why don't you rest for a week more, so you can heal completely, you don't have to resume work today" I said to aman when I saw him dressing for work,

"I've taken a lot of rest already, it's time for me to get back to work" he said with a slightly harsh tone,

I think he noticed that his tone was not so friendly, so he added in a much calmer tone,

"A lot of people needs my help, I've to be there, I might be someone's last hope"

"ok then may Allah protect you" I said slightly pissed, I know I can't really get angry at Aman but I just feel bad that he doesn't love me like I love him, but since he treats me well I can hang on to that for the mean time and continue praying to Allah.

"My shift ends by 5:00pm, I'll back within that time insha Allah" he said to me,

"ok, masalam" I said,

Then he waved his hand at me briefly.

Immediately he left, loneliness engulfed me, this is the first time I'll be away from him for this long since he regained consciousness.

I'm on leave in my workplace and I still have about a month left,

"hmmmm" I sighed,

"what I'm I going to do?" I asked myself,

Then I remembered, I haven't seen Aisha since from the time she paid a visit to me in the hospital, I didn't even call her since then, I smacked my head at my negligence, I can't really blame myself I've been so occupied,

"let me give her a call now" I said as I picked up my cell phone to give her a call.

"Salam Alaykum Aisha" I said,

"walaykum salam" she screamed into my ears.

"how've you been?, sorry I haven't reached out to you since you came" I said,

"Alhamdulillah I'm good, how're you doing also?, how's Aman?, are you still in the hospital?" she asked continuously,

"subhanAllah Aisha, a question at a time" I said as I giggled at her actions,

"and I'm back from the hospital about a week ago" I added,

"subhanAllah Fatima, I'm so sorry I didn't reach out to you, things have been going on lately" she said with a sad tone,

"are you okay aisha?, you can talk to me you know" I said hoping she's okay,

"yhh I'm fine" she said sighing heavily,

"are you at home?, So I can come over" I asked,

"I'll love that!" she said happily.

We ended the call, I told her I'll be there in the next hour, I just had to get dressed, she didn't sound too good I hope she's okay.
