Chapter 43

Unedited

As soon as they reached the hospital nurses were waiting for them as Mahmud had already informed them.

She was rushed inside the hospital Deedee and Kabeer in tow. The doctor was waiting in the emergency room.

Deedee and Jabeer were told to wait outside as they began working on her.

Deedee was overwhelmed with all that has happened in a short period of time. Due to one of the twins getting ill she decided to not go to the dinner since she attended every other event and Kabeer said he wouldn't be attending without his wife too. They were at home when they received a call that a video was released about Areef's contract marriage. In complete disbelief they opened the link sent and received the shock of their lives.

There was surely a marriage contract, Kabeer would recognize Areef's signature anywhere. Then there was the camouflaged house. There were pictures of the inside. There were some of Areef's personal items there. Some clothes and loads of weed. Pictures of Areef going in and coming out of the house. Amrah even went on to add that.

"Miss Ahmad must have realised what a beast he was and tried to back out of the deal. She was to meet with Areef's brother in law when she had her accident. Who knows Areef could have been behind it to stop her from exposing him and it did turn out well for him since she lost her memories and married him. I'm not doing this to gain anything from it, I just want to expose a very wicked man so that he can be stopped from making anymore damage to anyone. For a drug addict is very unpredictable. I urge the people to make sure this man is judged and punished for his crime."

Deedee heaved a deep sigh. She knows her brother, she knows he definitely did date Amrah but she wasn't sure why they broke up. She knew Areef was a jerk to Airah when she was working for him, she even called him Boss From Hell. Could any of Amrah's claims have elements of truth? Was that the reason why he suddenly told them he was going to marry her? Was a contract really involved? As all of these questions were left unanswered one thing she was certain about. Her brother is not a murderer. There's no way he tried to kill Airah.

Feeling so lost and frustrated she couldn't help herself and bursted into tears. Kabeer who was also lost in his own thoughts was brought back. Seeing his wife in tears he all but embraced her tucking her head under his chin and he hushed her.

"Kabeer, there had to be something amiss, Areef couldn't have done anything like that. He really loves Airah, there's no way he would have married her on contract." She said admist tears.

"Of course Dee, he's your baby brother and your best friend, you know him like the back of your hand. I'm surprised you are actually in doubt of him. Have you forgotten Amrah's father came to Mamy wanting to get Areef to marry Amrah, if what she said really happened why did she still followed him and even brought her parents to get him to marry her. Do you know how many times she had followed him to his office and was sent away? None of Amrah's banter is true Dee, I assure you."

Hearing Kabeer's words she really calmed down. She had forgotten about Amrah's parents coming with marriage proposal to Mamy.

"But what about the house Kabeer, the drugs?"

Jabeer sighed. "I don't know about that, but I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation."

They were seated like that when the doctor exited. They sprang ti their feet.

"Doctor! Is she okay? What about the baby?" Deedee gushed.

The doctor only smiled motioning they come with him as he began walking away from the ER. Kabeer followed him with Deedee hesitantly following behind.
