My Salvation (CURRENTLY EDITING)

Chapter 26

"Go and talk with you mom. I will see what happens next." I assured her with my smile and she made her way to talk in her room. I waited for two minutes when I felt someone is behind me.

"What are you doing here?" Aadil whispered in my ear making me almost scream. I quickly kept my palm in my mouth to stop myself from doing that and turned to him. He, like always looked hot and dashing in his office formals. Woah. That's the second time I called him handsome in a indirect way. First being when we met outside of my home. He cleared his throat making me snap out my random thoughts.

"If you have done checking me, care to explain why you look as if you are spying on Azi's room?"

Oh my god. Oh my gosh. Did he...just said that? So..casually? What? How? Like he was upset with me yesterday and now he is behaving like nothing happened? And was it that obvious that I checked him? I felt my face heating up and probably my cheeks will be looking like two pink balls. He just chuckled at my face and raised his eyebrow, waiting for my question. Woah....that....was...damn.

"I-I w-was waiting for Aziza so she c-can see my apology." Great. Now I started stuttering. Aadil opened his mouth to reply but we heard a door being unlocked. I quickly made a sign for him to stay quite and turned around to my original position. Aadil too hid behind me, not wanting Aziza to notice us. I saw her face being emotionless even after seeing the teddy on her bed. I remembered how her face used to lit up whenever she saw that and now, this just crushed my hope.

I saw her opening the letter and reading. I kept seeing her face because I expected her to smile or laugh or - do something! But she didn't. She stood there emotionless. Tears were already forming in my eyes seeing how mad she was with. Then I saw her taking the teddy harshly and I knew what she is going to do. Throw it away. Not able to see, I ran to my room with tears rolling on my face. I sat on my bed thinking how stupid it was of me to do this. Ofcourse she isn't a kid anymore. Ofcourse she won't come running to me with teddy in her hand and say, 'thank you sis' with a huge grin plastered on her face.

I saw someone entering and looked up to see Aadil. He was confused on seeing my face.

"My planned wasn't successful. I knew it. I just knew it." I said and new tears started to fall. He took handkerchief  from his pocket and gave it to me. I took and quitely said 'thank you'.

"You should atleast see what was going to happen. She took those and-"

"You think I really want to see her throwing my items and stay mad at me for much longer? Sorry. I can't handle that much. I have seen enough suffering and now I can't suffer seeing my only family being so distant from me."

"Who said I was mad at you?" Aziza's voice came. I looked up and saw her standing near the door with smile and teary eyes.

"I was bit upset with you Naw. I can't live without talking with you. Gosh. Now give me a hug." She came and hugged me so fast that we collapsed on the bed. I started laughing with more tears coming out, this time of happiness. I heard her pained sounds and then I realized that she recently was discharged from the hospital. I quickly made us sit straight on the bed.

"Are you okay? Ofcourse you don't. I just heard you making weird noises whenever you are in pain. Be careful Azi, you just ha-"

She stopped my rambling by hugging me for the second time - this time being much gentle.

"You know I love you alot. I was going to tell you about this. You had alot in life Azi. I couldn't see you suffer more. I am sorry sweety. So sorry. I will sacrifice my life for you. You know how much importance I keep for those I love. I have nothing but you guys. Bad things have to pass through me to pass through you all." I murmered to Aziza hoping she listened to what I said.

"I know you more than you knoe yourself Naw. And it's okay. 'Cause I believe that what ever stuff we deal with, be it so damaging you expect nothing good to happen, trust Allah and have faith in yourself. There will be better things in life. If I have to go through bit more bad stuff, so what? At the end I will get much better things. Right? And I love you too dumbo."

I separated and look her in the eye. How did she became so mature at such young age?

"Yes Azi. For there's bad, there's good in the end. When did you became so mature and talk as if you are the bigger sister here?" I teased her, trying to lighten the scene. She just laughed at my comment.

Naushin entered in my room looking quite dissapointed. "Why is it always that I am distracted whenever there's cute scene going on?" She whined like a little kid. We just all laughed and that's when she realized Aadil, her boss was standing her. She was turned red real quick and dashed out of the room, making Aziza laughing harder.

"You know, you always amaze me Azi, with your words." Aadil, who didn't said anything, finally spoke. While his words were for Aziza, he kept his eyes trained on me. Why it felt like...like his words were for me but used Azi's name as an excuse? I quickly shook that thought out of my mind. I mean, why would HE think that?

"I know! Aren't I the best?" She winked and flipped her hijab and made her way out of the room. I somehow controlled my laugh seeing her and looked at Aadil who was still staring at me, trying to understand - as if he is a scientist discovering what kind of fossil I am. I cleared my throat and he still kept on staring. I called him 'Mr Sheikh' several times but still, no response.

I finally took the daring idea and called him by his name.

"Aadil!"

"Huh? What? What happened?" Seriously? He kept on staring me and asking what happened?

"You. You kept looking me. I called you but you didn't even listened. What are you even thinking about?" This time, I swear I heard him saying, 'Thinking how amazing sister you are. And amazing' but again, my ears can be playing. He still stood there looking me so I thought to go out of this room.

So..*awkwardly waves at everyone*

Aadil getting lost in Nawal's eyes. Or face. Or whatever he was looking. You guess.
