THE HEARTS REAWAKENING

69: HOW CUTE?

I dare you to comment on each paragraph for an update later...

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

"Oh no! That was meant for Amirah!" Jannah wail took over the quiet, eerie, still place, it echoed throughout the walls and bounced back to the occupants of the rooms ears.

"What the heck?!" Jabir rushed to take the gun away from her when she aimed it again at shocked Amirah, not willing to give up.

"Leave me alone!" Jannah yelled again, pushing Jabir away from her in hysterics but the guards are there to take her down and she fell to the floor with a thud, hitting her head. One of the guards place his knees on her back to keep her down.

Jabir went beside Jannah who is struggling with such strength to fight off a well trained guard. "Stay down or I will be forced to hurt you."

Jannah glared at him, eyes shining with such wrath that rendered him speechless. This girl is really gone. "You are a traitor just like my father! Choosing a stranger over your own family. Bunch of spineless men." She spatted and like a slap to Jabir, he flinched back. If his eyes weren't playing tricks, he'd swore he saw regret in her eyes for a split second before it dematerialized. "I want to fucking kill her! I want her dead!"

Amirah pushed Najla to Aunt Azima's arms, too shocked to think where the girl landed then she rushed to Imad. He was shot right beside his stomach but not close to his ribs. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she reached him, falling down on her knees and held him up, he is losing too much blood already. She place her hand there, remove the head tie from her head and press down on the wound, hard to stop the immense bleeding. Her head hurts, she cannot even think straight.

It took her by surprise. One minute they are fighting to get Najla away from the bouncer when Amirah threatened to kill her first before killing her mother, Imad trying to take the gun from Jannah because he didn't know she was going to try shooting Amirah behind him. He jumped right when she fired the gun, the bullet grazing his side in a painful way that had him genuflecting to his knees. He fell on his sides holding the place he was shot.

The freaking bullet is inside of him and there has never been pain like that.

Amirah's face broke into perspiration, yawing ashen and pale. Her lips are trembling and she cannot see much since the tears are obstructing her view. She couldn't speak, something is clogged behind her throat because even the outcry lurking inside wouldn't come out. Her stomach feels rock hard, her chest thudding loudly to the point of pain.

Jannah really knew how to use a gun, he didn't expect such perfection from her and thought she was holding it to scare them. He cut short the long screed and polemic when his daughter's life got threatened. He could vaguely hear her wails in the background at the sound of the gun. Such traumatic experience for a little kid, he won't forgive Jannah for that. She's made a grave mistake, he will get back at her for that.

He was galvanised off his revenge thoughts when Amirah rushed to where he is lying, crying her eyes out without saying anything. He banished the thought of revenge, it is not worth it!

She keeps staring at his eyes, as if trying to hypnotise him into not slipping off consciousness and he smiled. It is catastrophic! The contrite surged through him like an avalanche, rendering him weak and more guilty. They are suffering only because of him.

He thought he could protect them from all satanic evils but he is one himself. They are already falling from this trouble to that one right after they appeared back in his life. That's epidemic from his side, honestly. How could everyone just have him denunciated the minute his happiness got sheaf? Maybe his miscellany of merriment is rotten and needs to be reincarnated. That should be it, not too bad huh?
