Never Yours : Allah Knows Best

Part 22

_" can you please move your legs mira ! you're on the way ".

_"can you please shut your mouth ali you're interrupting my train of thoughts ".

i had important exams that month and for the past two weeks i was so nervous

luckily he was there with me , helping me when i needed

he was wiping the floor with a frown on his face which made me laugh , he glared at me then rolled his eyes

_" your future wife will be so lucky to have a husband like you believe me " i commented

_" huhuhuhu very funny ".

_" don't complain you are the one who suggested helping , speaking about wives i never heard you talk about girls " i questioned

but he pretended to not hear or he was just thinking

_" ali ......are you .........are you gay? " .

he stopped at once a disgusted look on his face

_" no astaghfiru allah " he shivered saying the words

_" then why ? ".

he sat on the chair facing me thinking of the right words

_" it's not like i have never tried or anything , but most of the ones i knew didn't want something serious i don't know but i felt that they didn't want to get to know me for me it's complicated and at some point i lost interest and became more like okba " he explained

_" like okba ? " i asked

_"yeah , i know he has the typical player's face but he is actually very deep although he shows totally the opposite most of the time it's like a mask to hide the tender side he has but i won't say more you will discover by yourself " he winked at last

i wasn't so convinced by his words since i thought i had seen all of okba's sides by then , and a part of me was revealed because i hated to think of him as a womanizer

_" speaking of him he is late again " i remarked

lately he was so busy with work , he comes late at night to sleep most of the times he has dinner outside and in the morning he leaves early after kissing my forehead thinking i was asleep

i started to think that he was avoiding me , maybe he got sick of my stubbornness and cold attitude or he was just working so hard
i preferred the second option

me on the other hand i started to miss his affectionate gestures .............................

-" wait i'll call him " said ali

_" wait that's my phone " i yelled trying to take it away from him

_" relax , if it's you he answers quickly ".

and he was right , in two seconds the call was answered

_" waaah ! unusually fast bro ! you didn't expect .............." he stopped suddenly his features changing radically before sitting again

_" what ? i don't understand what did you say has happened ? " the horror on his face said everything

_" ok .........where did you say he was ? ".

he ended the call and shook his head as if trying to gather up his thought but i was looking at him not able even to ask

_" someone from the hospital , they said okba lost consciousness on the street and they were waiting for someone to call because all that he had was his phone and it was locked " he said in one go before moving to the door
