CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE; ONE MORE SHOT

"Alright Mama, I will go to the Dhahers now, then we will go to the Airport" Said Alishaa putting Nadiya's stuff in her bag. Alishaa decided to go back to New Jersey immediately her mother got discharged.

Nadiya turned and looked at her even from a distance the dark circles under her eyes can be noticed, she cannot help but feel bad for her and the fact that she didn't tell her she spoke with her father, didn't seat well with her.

"Ali-"She started talking but a knock stopped her, they both turned to the door as it opened revealing Mustapha, Alishaa frowned while Nadiya started panicking.

"Salaam"

"Walaikumsalaam-"

"What are you doing here?" Asked Alishaa immediately

"I am here to see you" He catch that Nadiya didn't tell her, they had a conversation.

"I have nothing to say to you" She said and walked towards the door

"Alishaa no matter what happened he is still your Dad, do not forget that"

"How can you be so chill Maa? He left us"

"I came back"

"You never did, that is the problem, you don't expect us to just be okay and be happy because you are finally back after 14years!"

"I don't expect you to accept me, I just want you to understand I suffered the same amount of hardship you went through, I waited by a company with no food or shelter or water thinking about my family that i left and after I gained everything I found out you are not here anymore, do you know how hard I tried finding you?" He snapped his eyes turning red, he was normally a calm person but how he stored everything in him over all these years are making him burst.

"I will be back" She said and left the room, she walked to the Hospital's garden and sat down on a bench crying out for all the problems in her life, she cried for her mother's hardship, for her father's hardship, for her failed relationship for everything.

"Allah" She said after some minutes, her tears have dried down leaving her with puffy eyes and face. She cannot help but deeply miss Faaris, she thought about how hard her life will be in the future without him. It has been a week since she last saw him. He always comes to visit her mom when she is not there or asleep.

She thought about her relationship with her father and everything he said made her to start wondering what he went through, she felt bad for treating him that way. She decided to go and apologise to him and then communicate, one of the things Faaris thought her, how to say her feelings without getting scared except when it comes to him.

"Can I sit down?" She looked up and saw her father standing, she moved giving space for him. She fiddled with her hand nervously as she thinks of what to say.

"I-"

"S-" They both started together, he let out a small chuckle and told her to go on first

"I am sorry for how I spoke to you earlier, I shouldn't have done that you are still my father"

"Oh darling, don't worry about that but I am sorry I shouted too, it was just hard and better at the same time, I practiced how to act when I met you but I didn't think about the anger you will have in you" He said and slowly took her hand in his, she blinked away tears looking at him.

"I really missed you, it is crazy I left you very small and now look at you already married and please give that boy another chance he looks like one of his organs are not working" He said chuckled, she joined him some tears escaping her eyes.
