Chasing Her Heart

25| Factuality & Purpose |

Haidar stared at her for sometime before finally speaking up. "Who are you ? And why are you here?"

Mufida stood rooted to her spot, her eyesight blurry as she moved her lips to utter words but she couldn't.

Did she hear it right ? Or it's her ears that heard it wrong ?

She will settle on the latter. Mufida wiped off her tears and smiled weakly at him. "Haidar it's me, your Mufida."She stated amidst tears nodding her head at him.

Haidar was quite for a while again, he just kept staring at her as if trying to recognize her. He arched his brows at her, angrily and snapped at her. "I don't know you, just get the heck out of this place."

Mufida took a step backward and placed both her palms against her mouth to close it from bursting into a noisy tears.

"Haidar you-"Mufida started yet again but he cut her off.

"Get out."

"Please come."Halima ushered forcefully dragging Mufida out of the room and that was when Ridwan entered with a taslim.

"What happened to her?"Ridwan asked upon seeing the enormous tears on his sister's face.

"Ya Ridwan."Mufida called gripping his elbow tightly. "He doesn't remember me, he had asked me to leave."She replied staring at Haidar who was just sending scornful glares her way.

"What? Memory loss?"Ridwan asked and Halima nodded. "I'll go talk to him."He excused himself and approached Haidar.

Haidar used his left hand to signal Halima to take Mufida away so that Mufida won't be able to listen to his conversation with Ridwan.

"How are you feeling?"Ridwan inquired concern laced in his voice.

"Better Ridwan."Haidar replied.

Ridwan furrowed his eyebrows at him suspiciously. "You remember me but forgotten about me Mufida, I've never thought that this day will come, really?"

"Yes that's because I didn't lose my memory."Haidar earning a smack from Ridwan. "Ouch bro, what was that for?"

"For lying to my poor sister and making her cry."

Haidar chuckled softly and said. "I've no other option Ridwan, she isn't listening to me I'm trying to prove her thoughts wrong. She thinks that she isn't in love with me and I'll make her see it herself."

And guess what ?

Ridwan smacked him again, this time around two times. He won't even spare him because of his current situation.

"Is the accident also fake then?"Ridwan inquired a hint of laughter in his voice.

"No, and why did you hit me like that?"

"This is just a starter for hurting my sister like that. How could you do that to her ? Do you know how she felt, didn't you see how she was crying?"

Haidar sighed. "I saw everything, I deeply wanted to soothe her but what can I do when I've no choice."

"I'll deal with you later. For now, how did it happen?"
