Chasing Her Heart

52| My Life, My decisions |

Maiduguri, Nigeria.
11:45 pm.

His ringtone blasted off immediately he entered his room. He reached down for his pocket and brought the phone out. The first thing his eye caught was the time. It was so late, he didn't even realize it. He got carried away talking to Amina about Mufida. He wanted to stop but deep down he want to pour out everything that's left in his heart.

He thought that telling someone about it would reduce a little bit of the pain inflicting him, but that's just his imagination, and not all imaginations come true.

The call came once again and it was Doctor Suraj his buddy in the hospital and also his coworker. He answered the call and placed the phone gently against his right ear.

"Latest groom in town."Suraj beamed and Hisham shook his head with a sigh.

"I don't appreciate you calling me that Suraj, why are you calling me so late?"

"I know you must be speaking with your wife to be now that you're single you won't sleep early so I thought of calling you now that I'm free."

Hisham hissed. "You're not serious. Is it an emergency?"

"Not an emergent but it's very important, Haidar didn't come for his monthly checkup this month. I thought he'd be coming in late this month but he didn't show up, and if I call him up he won't pick my calls."

Hisham sighed deeply. He is already double-worried about so many things and now this?

Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum.

"I don't know why Haidar is so careless about his health. I even warned him about drinking that's working but he don't even take his medicines, or even go for his checkup, do you know why he didn't show up?"Suraj inquired.

"I don't even know Suraj. I'm trying best to see him get better but he doesn't like that. He always think that I'm being too pushy. I'll call him up tomorrow and inform him about it, maybe he forgot."

"That's not a good enough reason for him not to come for two months, Haba."Suraj chided.

"Two months?"

"Yes Hisham and I'm sorry to say but his condition isn't getting any better."

Hisham shook at that. "What's the status?"

Amina wobbled around the house yawning time to time. Indeed she was tired but unable to sleep. She doesn't know why maybe because she can't figure out how to get Hisham out of her life. Yesterday was a long day, it was the first ever real conversation she had with Hisham after so long.

It feels surreal when she thinks about the whole issue. Like the one and only Arrogant Hisham feeling restless over a girl. She pities him tho and feels bad that she can't be the one to mend his broken heart, others will think is possible but to her is a mission impossible.

The way he told her everything and the fact that the girl he is in love with is in love with no one else but his twin brother. Mufida is nice and jovial who wouldn't fall for her, she met her once but they clicked immediately. One thing that can't be hidden about Mufida is that she is a very jealous type, she noticed how uncomfortable she saw her when she was together with Haidar.

Life can be very tricky, you never know who you might end up with in the future.

Amina found herself in the kitchen, the lights were turned on and it wasn't empty.
