live before i leave

chapter 10

Albert tried to kill himself after finding out his wife and child died on the plane, I thought he was trying   to run. Of course it's obvious that this accomplice betrayed him meaning the man was dangerous. He must be a man who knows a lot about the country. It's either he came for revenge or out of patriotism or  he is a psychopath.

"Finding trouble trying to figure things out?" My brother asked "sis chill it's weekend, we're going to fund things"he said smiling broadly.

"This is a one month thing you know?" I raised and eyebrow and he brought out the ps pad"plus am not experienced" I sighed

"Am wondering how you didn't die of stress sis, you worry a lot and think about the future"

"Am not you, you have all the future am going to die soon"

"Why are you saying this?, You don't know if I'll die before you sis?"he asked smiling and the thought of it made my heart tense.

"Don't say that!" I said loudly and he smiled

"If it's my destiny then it'll happen even if you tell me not to say anything"I glared at him ",ok sis" he side hugged me. I held his face and looked at him

"I'll never want to witness my younger one die before me" I was serious and he smiled"so don't say that again, it's not your destiny" I commanded and he nodded."so do you want to help me with my research?" I asked and he nodded vigorously" let your head not fall" I say as we burst out laughing

"I have been waiting for you to say this" I took  his hand

"It'll be the last, I don't want my brother involved I this, you saw that I went to hell and came out." I remembered the car accident"I don't want you to be a target" I declared

"Yes dictator!" He saluted and I stood up, we headed for my room"so you and Sadiq on the friends zone?"
I looked back at him and he continued"it's just that you both need space, even if you love him you need space."

"So what you want to go into relationship counseling"I said a but angry, why can't we not come back as lovers. I loved him right?,yes I do

"Distance will prove how much you ought to stay with him and how much you guys love Is" he replied smirking."I like Sadiq but I love you, I want what's best for you sis" i opened my room and I ignored him.

"My life isn't safe meaning someone wants to kill me earlier than my sickness. Such competition, whoever is trying to kill me must have told Albert" I looked at my brother, a 18year old looking so matured and handsome.

"Then Albert's life is also in his hands but how?" My brother said "we need to protect him"

"How?" I was lost

"We need an insider" my mom said coming to the door.

"Salam mom"we both said and she nodded her head yawning and coming inside the room with a Snickers chocolate in her hand and she said

"It's good that dele is in the same prison, we can try talk to him to keep an eye"

"No mom he is on a death row and I won't want to include dele.ge has done enough for me. 

"He is our hope of protecting your client. " nabil said. These two were always defending me on the case. They got my back and I trust them.

"He is my friend I am putting his life on the line. My life is enough for sacrifice"I looked at my hand"what if it's my life that is in danger and not Albert's?" I looked at them expectantly

"That means Albert knows your life is in danger"

"And he has been trying to push me away" I looked up "he told me not to show up again."  I stood up hurriedly and  ranked my hand through my hair taking a hijab
