For malik he believe everything in life is all about target and focus, if you have focus nothing can stop you from reaching your target, as he round up the paper work in his hotel room, he can't help but get upset for nothing especially knowing the fact that ramlat think he will do everything he can only to let her be with a stupid boy that couldn't even rescue her from an arrange marriage, she's he's target and he's going to have her.
"Malik aren't you done?" Ahmad ask walking inside the bedroom, there meeting is schedule by 9am and it's already 8:20am.
"I am done,
Just help me round up this and I will finish getting dress." Malik say as he grab the black chinos trouser, he's really not in a very good mood this morning so he want to go with casual.
His phone ring and he quickly grab it as he tuck his button down shirt at thesame time.
"Good morning da........
" if you don't get the next flight back to Jordan this minute you will see what i will do to you,
How dare you locked that girl in that house and leave!"his dad angry voice pierce through the phone speaker.
"Dad i can't i am on my way to the meeting, please i will come as soon as i can..........
" malik your five hours starts now,
And if you are not back in the next 5hours......I don't have to say much,
Nonsense. "His dad say and malik sigh throwing the phone on the floor in frustration.
" what happened? "Ahmad say giving malik a worrisome look.
" I need to be in Jordan right now."malik say with a facepalm and Ahmad blow some air out of his mouth.
"Come on man,
Go ahead i will do everything i promise." Ahmad say and malik give him a look.
"I will nail it just have some faith in me dude." Ahmad say as he pick the last paper from the bed.
"Thanks man,
Dad can be frantically problematic,
I will come back as soon as i can for the next meeting to finalize everything,
Just keep update." Malik say as he grab his suitcase throwing his stuffs quickly inside.
"OK man,
I have to go now,
Call me when you land safely,
hazana saeidan hunak ya 'akhi(goodluck out there brother)." Ahmad say and quickly saunter out of the bedroom.
Malik sigh, he can't even believe his dad is monitoring his movement, he hate the fact that he won't be present in the meeting even do he trust Ahmad but he love doing things his own way he call the reception to get a taxi for him as he round up with his parking.
Ramlat don't know what to think about malik, All her life she love a single soul, Ramadan was her dream guy, they where perfect for each other even when circumstances tear them apart she is still in love with him just as much as he's in love with her,
There are days where she spend it crying thinking about all the good times they've spend together,
She do be lieing to herself if she say she don't find malik attractive, every girl would droll over his perfect looks but she surely knows what she want and she is definitely sure Ramadan is the one she will want to spend the rest of her life with, but all that doesn't matter because in as much she's trapped in this house her perfect happily ever after will continue to be a dream, she grab her veil from the wardrobe and exit the bedroom quietly walking down the staircase.
"Ramlat." A familiar voice call gaining her attention and she quickly turn.
"Na'am aunty." Ramlat answer turning back as aunty haulat give her a suspicious look.
"Ina zaki je?" She ask and ramlat sigh.
"I want to go and visit Ramadan in the hospital,
I know alhaji stop me but...........
"Be back before maghrib." Aunty haulat say giving ramlat a pitiful look.
She feel really bad for ramlat everyday she imagine her daughter been in the situation she is in, Alhaji literally keep her hostage even do he told everyone he's married to ramlat it's a mere lie to keep her to himself like a possession until he get back his money, there are days where haulat wish her husband will set the girl free.
It's about 20minute drive to the hospital, sitted in the back of the taxi Ramlat can't help but think about how her life morphed from perfect to misery.
"Ma'am we are here." The taxi driver say gaining her attention as she look up with a sigh.
She exit the car and give the middle age man the money, she quickly saunter into the hospital building,
Already conversant with the building she sashy to the elevator and press the 6floor button, she stand patiently waiting as she stare at her reflection in the mirror, once the elevator stops she exit and walk to the familiar hospital room, she grab the door knob and click it open.
Ramlat feel all the excitement about visiting the only source of her happiness varnishes, she watch as the familiar girl feed the spoonful of the fruit salad to him.
She push down all the overwhelming emotions and walk inside the hospital room as she stare at him.
"Ramlat." The girl call with a smile and ramlat just give her a bored look of expression.
"Ridwan how are you feeling?" She ask and he nod not staring at her.
I wanted to come all this while but Alhaji w........
"There's no need for that Ramlat,
My dad already got me married to ruwaida and I'm happy,
Atleast i don't have to keep hoping one day you will come back and everything will be perfect,
We all know that is impossible especially with the hefty loan on your dad head." Ramadan say and ramlat give him a look of bewilderment.
"You are married to her?" She say confuse and Ramadan turn to face her for the first time.
"You are a married woman Ramlat you can't expect me to keep waiting,
Maybe whatever we had was supposed to be a memory,
We are all walking on a different path of life and maybe we aren't fated for each other, I'm sorry you have to find out this way and please don't bother coming any more because i will be discharge today." He say and ramlat just stand speechless.
It's funny how we love endlessly and people easily move on, Ramlat feel as do she doesn't matter to anyone, to her parent she's a collateral to keep them enjoying there happy life, to alhaji she's useless, to malik she's like an item he's trying own and to the only person she thought care about she's a memory, she quickly exit the hospital room and saunter down the staircase crying, she bump into someone and stagger to loss her balance but she was quickly grab by the hand as she quickly wipe her tears and wiggle out of there grip.
"Are you alright?" A voice ask making her to look up at whoever has the baritone yet melodious voice, that single stare is going to be a start of a beautiful romance one that will bring a lot of misery into her life.
