Something lived, Something felt

CHAPTER 27

"Not really" she shrugged. He looked at her loss of words, she looked nonchalant and it pained him to think after all that time she didn't care.

"It takes two to tango. This can only work when we work together you have to meet me half way"

"Meeting you half way is all I have been doing" she snapped. "and thanks to that am lacking behind in school, my future." He stared at her shocked at the person he was seeing. "You know what? I'll call you" she walked away living him in utter befog.

She went back to her room and sat on her bed. She took a deep breath in and out steadying the pace of her heartbeat. She was so angry and she didn't even know why. It wasn't like it was her first time failing, she had failed in more important things than that and had always gotten true but this one felt different, it wasn't even an elective yet it was turning her mad. She performed ablution and prayed Maghrib and recited the Quran until it was Isha. She sat down still on the spot she prayed thinking of Ahmad and how he must have felt. She decided to send him an apology message the next day after the guilt surged in and she had fought her ego. She called his cell later that morning but it was switched off. She dropped the phone and didn't check on it until she was done with the hospital. She pressed the home button on the phone and turned off her DO NO DISTURB, the first thing she saw was Ahmad. He had left her thirteen massages and voicemails. She felt her heart pace faster as she opened the first message; /Hy, how is your day going? Khalid won't stop teasing me about you. I think everyone has figured out you're my kryptonite. I will call you later. Love you./ /are you free on Saturday?/... she read the messages with a smile on her face. She moved to the voicemails, there were more of them; /Hy, been trying to get you. I know you might have tossed the phone somewhere (he chuckled) but please call me if you get this.\ she listened to his voice closely it felt like the perfect melody. /hi I'm really getting worried call me back...(he was quiet for a bit) I miss you/... she dialled his number waiting for him to answer. Her heart was racing and her hands were trembling, she wanted to apologize to him. She dialled the number for the second time but still no reply. She groaned and tossed the phone. She decided to pray for guidance and ease. She cried her heart out to the ONE who listens to forgive and make things better for her married life and medical life.

She stopped at her old workplace after school. She couldn't handle it anymore she wanted her husband. She met Ahmad's Assistance, a mid-twenties looking guy with a face of an oversized baby. He immediately recognized her as his boss's wife from the wallpaper on Ahmad's desktop. He told her to enter after informing his boss.

"Hi"

"Hy" he didn't expect to see her. He was standing beside his chair.

He stared at her as she fumbled with her hands nervously.

"How is work?" she smiled nervously looking around. The office was bigger than the one she knew.

"Work is good," he said simply, he was still mad at her and he didn't like the person he saw on Sunday. But he missed her.

She nodded and smile, "I wanted to apologize," she said nervously as she played with her sweaty and trembling hands. "The way I acted was very immature and it was wrong and selfish. Very unwifey . Am sorry". He stared at her airily. Looking closely she saw he was tired, his tie was a bit loose, his eyes looked dejected. "You're right it takes two to tango and frankly I haven't been fair to you. And you? You have just been perfect" she moved a step closer "I have not been the wife I hoped to be or maybe a part of me was just scared of letting go and falling in love. Frankly, I don't know what to do with these feelings, it overwhelming and I don't know how to handle it so I just pushed it away and pushed you too." She cast her head down rambling before raising her eyes up to meet his piercing gaze still on her. She wanted him to say something. He moved closer closing the gap between them "Did you say you have feelings for me" he asked cockily with a bright smile illuminating his whole face.

"Did I?" she squinted before cracking a smile

"Yap I caught that bit vividly" he chuckled

"Does that mean am forgiven" she bit her lips nervously which was always a distraction and turn on for him.

He averted his gaze to her eyes "How could I not, you're my kryptonite I couldn't be mad at you even if I wanted to". She crashed him into an embrace that left him tense for a bit before he wrapped his hands around her. It was the first time they hugged.

"Am really sorry" she whispered against the crook of his neck causing him to feel all sort of things.

"I know".

They pulled out of the embrace after what felt like an eternity of peace. He closed for the day early and dropped her dorm after they spent a while together. She told him about her test when he asked and he assured her that she was going to make it to the top regardless of what that result said and that he had faith in her.

Things seemed even better for them. Though she didn't openly say she loved him, her words made his day and he was more than happy with his decision or his heart decision for falling for her.
