Haleema Akram

5;uhmm thanks?

            Sheriff and ashraf trailed off the stairs, meeting six figures around a pool of blood. The Akrams had went to say hi to the new neighbors deciding to start with the house opposite thiers. The children were happy since it was their first time stepping out since their relocation. The buildings were indeed beautiful. THE AKRAMS was boldly inscribed on thier front door. Same went to the one they were standing right now. ABUBAKAR SHEMA was boldly written. The door was opened so as they pushed the door , they met with a sight to behold. Jalilah screamed while Haleema tried to look for a possible solution. The twins were shocked to see laure in that state. Sheriff ran to her side, shaking her absurdly wishing she would open her eyes or nag or fight or beat him up. He really didn't mind. Ashraf being the sensible one called Naeem and he came back few minutes later. Haleema helped put laure in the backseat and she, ashraf , sheriff , jalilah and Naeem took her to the hospital. She was taken to the ICU immidiately. The doctors were going in and out of the theater, each refusing to say a word about laures condition. "How did it happen?" He asked. His voice was low but intimidating. The duo looked at each other because both knew better than to mess up with thier not so friendly brother. "How did it happen?" He bellowed this time so loud his voice echoed through the long corridors so much that his words repeated faintly several times before a thick tension hovered the air. A still silence followed." Wallahi yaya we were upstairs, we just heard screanms from the living room and we saw laure in..." Ashraf didn't finish the sentcence before he choked on his tears. They all had grown to love  laure it hurts them to see her in this condition.  She was here because of them but no one cared about here. None of them ever asked her how she was , whether she was happy or needed anything. She has sacrificed her life, her education, her marriage just to make sure they were fine. She loved them like her own blood, something they couldn't buy even if they had all the money in the world.
              For the first time, Haleema like looked at the shemas, they all looked exactly alike, thier long nose, bold eyes and tanned skin relayed that the trio were siblings. Though each with a bit of different character, they shared a common bond of love and protection towards each other. They all sat in the hospital lobby, each so lost in their own thoughts, a few other people trooped in and out. Naeema came by, sitting mindlessly on one of the numerous empty chair tapping away on her phone as she smiled creepily. She didn't utter s word to anyone. Jalilah came back with food. They all ate in silence. Naeem had refused to eat anything , he was worried sick. What would they tell her parents if laure just died like that, without any sickness. It was past Isha time, Haleema and jalilah bid them good bye as their driver was waiting for them outside. They both promised to come back the next day. Naeem escorted them out since it was already late. He didn't know how to express himself but he smiled. A small smile that explained his gratitude for all that they had done. "Uhmm thanks?" It came more like a question than a statement. Naeem was never one to thank anyone but somehow, he felt the need to thank the girls. Both girls smiled, bade aedius and the car zoomed off leaving Naeem with a smile etched perfectly on his lips and the worry lines once patched on his forehead was long gone.

** Jalilahs POV*
          Leelah as she preferred to be called was back home. She headed straight to her room changing into comfy clothes. She brought her new I phone x looking at pictures of Naeem she had taken back at the hospital. He was Oblivion to the pictures though he looked handsome in all of them. She admired his pink puffy lips momentarily touching her lips. She scrolled down and kept smiling smuginly to herself. Leelah was never one to like boys but this particular one, she took an interest on. Her door cracked open, as she looked up, her mother was standing by the door handing her forms to fill. They were going to get enrolled into Golden gates academy which was and is still one of the best schools across the country.
              She had filled out the forms for her and jawad and went to give Haleema hers to fill as well. She then went back to her room, and stalked Naeem's Instagram page. She sent a hi and quickly turned off the cellular data. She drifted off to sleep eager to be in school the next day.

**Haleema's POV
          Haleema sat down on her bed, neatly filled out the forms but then noticed that there was one more left to fill. She wondered whose it was. She went down stairs. It started from a short chortle, then it resulted to a full blown laughter. She leapt forward with a swollen heart and hugged him tightly like her life depended on it.
