Enemy Of The Past

_Chapter Twenty-Two_

Truth

"Reem?" I woke up hearing a voice, i saw her trying to wake up before she jolted upwards looking around, she fell back on the pillow before I could catch her and went back to sleep. I knew her cousin has a thing for her but I didn't know she felt the same maybe I was just obsessed with my feelings for her that I didn't notice that.

I got up and walked out of the room as Dania walked into her room. It has been a week since we attacked Nikolai and we are currently in Milan since the other Mafia's are looking for the killers of Nikolai but thankfully no one knows the real information and especially that the warehouse blew off and the cameras were already down. Fayrooz is still unconscious. Ayman is also here to look after her. He came back after Kareem's funeral.

"Is she up?" Asked Ramis as walked into the living room, we got a two storey building with four rooms which we are staying in currently.

"No she just got up and called out Kareem, I think and fell back" I replied going to the door.

"Let's go for a walk" He said as if reading my mind and i walked to the front door. I put on my shoe and followed him out. This house is behind the city, by a lake with just two neighbours. We took the left side and started walking.

"What do you think is the deal bro?" He asked after some minutes of silence both of us in our own thoughts.

"I don't know! I don't even know what to feel" I sighed shaking my head

"I don't know whether to think about why she rejected him on the wedding day or is she in love with him?"

"He is not alive anymore"

"I know but still it is hard to get her when he is alive do you think she will agree when he died protecting her?" We turned back and started walking towards the house after a while.

"Well then you should just give up"

"Bro!" I yelled at him throwing a rock I found which he dodged.

"I didn't know what to say I am not a love expert the only one I love rejected me" He said rolling his eyes before it widened looking behind me, I turned and saw Dania standing by the front door.

"Where did you two go?"

"Just for a walk, is Ayman back?"

"Yeah and the General is awake" I immediately started walking towards the door with Ramis behind me. We were about to go into her room when we heard Ayman talking.

"Yes his funeral has taken place already and grandpa wants to meet you" He said as she walked towards the window. How can she be this strong? She is out for days and is standing minutes after waking up?

"How is he?" I can't help but feel good hearing her smoothing voice even though it is a bit raspy right now.

"He is worried about you and you know he doesn't blame you just wants to know what happened"

"Of course he blames me, he is his son Ayman, his blood!" She said with bitterness

"And you are his blood too, I know you have trust issues and all but you have to accept that we all love you and care about you especially him, he loves you more than his family!" He raised his voice a little

"You don't get it"

"No you don't get it, if you actually told him why you rejected him do you think he will end up this bad? Distancing yourself isn't always the answer"

"Stop talking about what you don't know"

"I have eyes I know it, but you just don't want to accept the reality you need to and then you keep hiding Ammar for no god damn reason, are you waiting for him to en-"

"Get out" She said her voice still down

"No-"

"Ayman I said get out before I lose it on you" She raised her voice slightly. He threw a vase and walked out, he looked at us by the door and huffed walking downstairs.

"Welcome back General" Said Ramis going into the room. She turned and looked at us her eyes staying longer on me, before turning back to the window.

"Good to see you boss" I said with a little cheeriness.

"Thank you how is Ammar?"

"He is good but also wanting to see you but we calmed him down"

"Where are we?"

"Milan"

"Alpha arrange our flight back, Red-bull get me the reports from when I was unconscious" We all stood looking at her as she turned back around.

"You are still sick" Said Ramis

"And you can't be on air it is too risky" Said Dania

"I am not sick and as far as I remembered I am the General here" She said going to bed and sat down.

"Ramis get her the reports and Dania where is her breakfast?" I said walking into the room. I saw single sofa and dragged it all the way to the bed and nodded at them, they understood and left.

"What are you doing?" She asked as I sat down looking at her

"Thinking about how to return the weight you lost not that you were fat but you get what I mean"

"I want to be left alone" She said and laid down looking up at the ceiling

"You have been alone for a week and I think that is enough"

"What about Nikolai?"

"Dead and please don't talk about work we are on a vacation here and I am in charge of you"

"Says who?"

"The most handsome man"

"He is dead" I frowned rolling my eyes

"Ew, you are making me feel glad he is" I mumbled quietly

"I wasn't talking about Kareem, my Dad"

"Oh" I smiled

"I mean oh" I said silently making a sad face. She chuckled slowly turning her head.

"You need help!" She said

"With your love, yes I do" She furrowed her brows and turned her head

"You can ask your questions you know" She said after a while. I looked at her thinking about taking the offer or not but I wouldn't want to make her sadder, she needs to rest.

"I know but that is not important now"

"And what is?"

"Taking care of you, I promised Ammar to bring you back safely"

"You told him?" She turned her eyes widening. And there is Fayrooz the girl that loves her brother more than anyone and only he can get an emotion out of her.

"No I didn't, I said you are on a mission and cannot talk to him"

"Thank you he has asthma and could lead to cardiac arrest" She said

"I know, I did research on his health"

"Why?"

"To take care of him while you are out" Her eyes softened before she turned to the ceiling again. I will love her to look at me like the ceiling too.
