His bodyguard

•Chapter 40•

Authors POV
Zahra was feeling hurt, betrayed, devastated, alone, depressed. She felt all these things all at once.

Her hakim is in a coma, how on earth could she bear that. She doesn't know how long he is going to be in one. "H-hakim." She silently muttered her husbands name.

Her mother in law shot her a glare. One she would never in her life forget. How would she live alone without her hakim that lits up her day?

The only thing she was thankful for was that he wasn't dead. Yes she knew he was half dead but still. She thanked Allah that her husband was still breathing.

The thought came to her mind. Her mother in law that she considers her mother is blaming her for her sons condition. She was more than hurt right now.

Couldn't she understand that she would never do that to her own husband and that she wasn't at fault?.

How could she explain to her that he was the one driving and not her? Even though she tried telling Mrs ayaat that he was the one, she wouldn't listen. She wouldn't even elect her finish her sentence.

Mrs ayaat decided she'll find out from her son when he wakes up. Zahra couldn't just bear the pain. It was too much for her to handle.

"Mama-
"Don't call me that!" Mrs ayaat said hotly. Zahra wiped the warm tears that escaped her eyes.

Zahra is on her way home with aliyah after a lot of pleading for her to come with. She planned to stay back with hakim.

She decided she would go tomorrow and early in the morning. "Zahra we're here." She heard Aliyah's voice. She noticed that the car had stopped and they had arrived since.

Aliyah helped her out of the car and they went in. Aliyah wanted to stay with her to ease her pain a bit. It didn't seem to be working as Zahra was devastated.

Zahra went up to her room and had a shower. She put on her night gown and performed ablution. She didn't know where she got the strength to do all these things but she knew deep inside she was broken.

She prayed her isha prayer and sat down on the prayer mat muttering all the supplications she could remember. She prayed that hakim would be healed and he would come back to her.

She finished praying and folded the praying May. She lay on her bed thinking of hakim and only hakim. She was so scared.

The only person that she calls her husband was now in a coma. How would she live her normal life? She prayed and prayed that hakim would wake up sooner than anyone thought.

But she didn't know what god had planned out for her.

The next day~
"Zahra you're going right now?" Aliyah asked her. "Yes I have to." She said and continued packing the food basket.

She wanted to take it to the hospital incase she gets hungry since she is planning to stay till late at night. "Zahra, are you pregnant?" Aliyah randomly asked.

"What? You're not serious aliyah." She released a little chuckle. But the only thing on her mind was if she's actually pregnant.

She remembered the night at Maldives and she immediately smiled. She remembered each and every moment. She remembered how it brought so much pain to her when he put it in her.

She felt an unbearable pain that night but she enjoyed it a lot. "Zahra don't you think we should confirm it?" Aliyah asked. Before Zahra could reply her, she saw how Zahra vomited into the kitchen sink.
