THE HEARTS REAWAKENING

71: SECRETS OUT!

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

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

Amirah sighed again, tired of walking around the hospital room and waiting for Imad's friends to come out. She did walk out to go get some coffee so the energy will be back in her blood and she can talk things out with Imad. She'd be damned if she doesn't talk to him about their past that day, she woke up with the zeal to do so and nothing can stop her now. They should know where they stand and stop toying with one another.

It's been four days since the incidence and Imad is slowly convalescing but his mother wants him to stay a week more so that they can make sure he is fine when he leaves. Amirah appreciated that, she wants him there so they can monitor him, he won't allow her to do that back in the chamber. His mother on the other hand doesn't need to talk twice before he sighs and nod his head in acceptance. Their relationship is so cute that she wants one for herself.

He is always sleeping so they didn't get to have their own moments or personal talks. It is mostly about Jannah and Najla. The girl is so clingy to her father that Amirah feel like she loves him more than she does her. But the feeling is mutual, they share this connection in a matter of few days. Amirah is definitely jealous of all the attention they are getting from one another.

Jannah is currently in a psychiatry due to some mild mental issues but will be sent to jail straight in Chicago as soon as she is done with her sessions. Imad wants her there so she could be close to her mother, he can do that much for her. If she leaves, she won't ever be able to come back to Nigeria again and he wants her out. Any danger lurking around him is not welcomed so she should also be annihilated once and for all.

His family cannot be watching their backs wherever they go in fear of someone watching and ready to attack. Albeit sporadic, he's managed to get bodyguards for Amirah without her knowledge. Seems like all attention is on her now and one of them reported that she's got a stalker but they've taken care of him already.

"Why are you standing out here? We chased you away?" Jabir laughed and she shook her head, she saw them walking out of the room teasing Imad. He's got such real friends, seriously.

She shrugged, a small smile auditioned on her lips. "Just wanted to give you guys sometime." With another grin, her face perched with concern. "How's your elbow?"

Yeah, one of Jannah's bouncers dislocated his elbow but thankfully, it wasn't too much of a hassle getting it back in place. He has a cast there though but he said he does not feel any pain and anything for his friend. Besides, that earned him sympathy from Lateefa and she visited him three times already. He killed two birds with one stone and don't regret helping his friend at all. He'd do that again and again if it means saving his loved ones.

"Oh, I'm fine." He winked, his white teeth stretching further at the thought of Lateefa. He cannot wait to go see her again.

"Stop flirting with someone else's wife. Go get yours." Salim hit occipital before they bid her goodbye seeing how she badly wants to be with Imad instead of them.

She ferried into the room, nervousness creeping back to her bones but she pushed it away, this is not the time.

The room has pale walls, a television that is currently showing the news, LED heart monitor, chest drawer beside the queen sized hospital bed, a sink by the farther end of the room close to a door that leads to a five star hotel worthy bathroom. It smells astringent hand sanitizer placed right beside the door for everyone that walks in or goes out. The smell of the coffee she's made him the whole time there still lingers too.
