CHAPTER 23

For falak, Malik is the most daunting individual she ever come across, she always find herself timid whenever he's around, it's been 5days since there visit to the hospital, she take her medication very seriously, the eardrop which she uses regularly and the medication for her larynx which she believe is working, 2dyas ago when Malik was yelling at her even tho sje wasn't understanding anything the incoherent wheezing sound is indeed a big progress for her, sometimes she could try to speak to herself in the mirror, her larynx sure doesn't hurt like before, she's currently standing in the kitchen just looking around clueless, malik doesn't eat her food, she have never seen him anything, the only thing that brings him to kitchen is usually his morning tea and 3dates, the last time she offer to help it didn't go well, her cheeks still hurt from the slap, turns out her husband isn't one of those men that follow the rules of "never raised your hand on a lady"

She could hear sound coming from the parlor which makes her to quickly walk out of the kitchen, to her surprise it's malik and his cousin mardiya, even tho she can't hear clearly what mardiya is saying the smile on her face is enough to make her smile to, she glance at malik and he give her a distasteful glare that makes her look away scratching the back of her ear awkwardly.

For malik hate isn't enough word to describe what he feel towards falak, all he know is she's a gold digger who snatched away his happy life away from him, he enter the bedroom and throw the blazers on the bed before shutting it close, he walk to the bed and throw himself with a groan, there's nothing enticing about working in the family business here in nigeria, his dad own a petrochemical engineering company he doesn't like a the job one bit but unfortunately he doesn't have a choice, the door to the bedroom open making him to sigh.

"Mardiya i want to rest please i don't have strength to talk."he say tiredly but there's no answer which makes hin sigh tiredly already knowing who it is.

"What part of stay the fuck away from me do you want me to tell you?"he ask sitting upright.

He watch as she open her mouth trying to form a word but they come out like a whisper which irritate him the more.

"I will teach you how to mind your business and stay away from me."he say standing up, he kick off his shoes and walk to where falak is standing, the innocent girl is just watching, she take two insecure steps back when he is standing in her front and she was caught offguard when his hand come back flying on her cheek making her neck jerk to the side as she stagger but ended up falling to the ground because she couldn't maintain her balance do to how dizzy she became.

"Stand up!"malik yell and she quickly do as she was told, with her hand on her cheek looking at him terrify.

"Oohhh you can now hear,
Great!
I'm going to say this for the last time,
Maybe you didn't get it all those time I'm saying because you arr an imbecile but now  that I'm certain you can hear i won't ever repeat myself,
"Stay away from me, the next time you meddle into my shit, you won't like the consequences"Malik say and falak nod quickly turning to leave but he drag her back.

"Don't you ever walk out on me while I'm speaking."He say staring down into her with hateful eyes, Falak is nothing to him, she's nothing but a detestable girl, one that should be stomped on again and again, it's because of her he loss the girl of his dream to his so called proclaim bestfriend, now the stupid infatuation he thought he have for Ramlat is morphed into hate, all because of her and he's certain to her that she made the biggest mistake of ever marrying him.
