Healing Her

Chapter 11

I went near her and holded her hand and she murmured, dad your here right?

Yes I'm right here for you! I replied and she slept. I told all these things to Mohammed expect the part where we both sleep in a different room. I was so used to watching her Sleep and I loved to watch her sleep. Only when she cries my heart sunks. I promised myself I would get rid of her nightmares someday.

I was starting to sleep at office without my knowledge and Ray would tease me. He would take pictures of me and tell me I look like a zombie. I was having those ugly dark circles.. Inaya also asked me,

Are you alright? You looked like you don't get enough sleep?

I'm fine, it's just work.. I usually used to say this. I dint wanted her to know that I used to check on her every night. I wasn't sure how she would take it.

INAYA

I heard someone knocking at the door and when I went, I saw Ray and called him inside. I made him coffee and I thought this was my chance to talk to him about Em. I once told Yasin to bring you to lunch or dinner? But he would always tell me you are busy.

Was I busy? I guess I was busy he shrugged.

Can I ask you something? You wouldn't mind right?

Yeah I wouldn't mind Bhabhi.. Ask me!

What kind of girls are you interested in? I asked and then Yasin came and grabbed Ray's hand and told me, we are running late and he left. Ya Allah what's with this guy? Now when will I ever talk to him about Em.

YASIN

Your wife told me she invited me to lunch or dinner? Why did you say I was busy? Nobody is ever busy for lunch or dinner? Ray questioned.

Can you stop talking? I am not in the mood.

Why? Besides we don't have anything important at office Today? He asked looking at me confused.

I dint say anything and I kept quite and thought how can she ask him, which type of girls he likes?

Why you don't allow me to talk to bhabhi, She is so sweet.

What do you mean sweet? She's married remember!! You don't have to talk to her, I said frustrated.

Wait!! are you?! J E A L O U S O F M E ???!!! He laughed.

Jealous? I Mohammed Yasin was never jealous of anyone ever, I stated.

Yeah you Yasin who was never jealous of anyone is jealous of me Wow, he chuckled.

Man! can you just shut your stupid mouth. I don't want to hurt your pretty face.

But I don't think this make sense? I don't think she likes me and she doesn't look like that type of girls. And I would never see my bestfriends girl ever.

Can you not talk about this? I said looking at him.

I think she likes you and I know you like her too. I don't know why you both don't show it out.

How you know She likes me? She doesn't even call or text me, I asked surprised.

I know women's and the way she sees you, it's too obvious Man. You must be dumb to not know it.

I don't think so Ray, just don't blabber.

There is just one way to find it out, he suggested.

What's that? I asked curiously.

Let's see, if she gets jealous too, when you are with some other girl. He said raising his eyebrows.

What no! I don't want to play games with her, especially your silly games.

Fine your wish, Die without finding out her love for you.

So what's your plan? I asked him. Though I was never like this, but I wanted to know if she gets jealous too. Oh gosh why am I feeling jealous? I'm falling into trouble, my inner voice was telling me. But I can't help.. I am always curious about her, She makes me sick.
