My Schizophrenic Husband

Chapter Thirty (2)

Faiza left the house annoyed the next day, before heading to work she found some apartments online and she went to check them out, and then she payed for the one she was satisfied with.

She got to her workplace and headed straight to her office, she sat down with a sigh and bite her lower lip in deep thought.

Although she was glad Farooq came to look for her, she was still mad at him for unknown reasons.

But her anger at Rose was undissolved, she couldn't believe Rose would hide such a vital information from her, knowing how many times she asked after her husband yet Rose hid it from her, acting like he didn't even attempt to find her.

She was livid, and she felt like the event of the previous night was going to cause a huge fight because she wasn't ready to see Rose not hear her explanation.

She sighed again and then a knock on the door jerked her out of her thoughts, she looked at her journal to see her appointment time wasn't up yet, so she was confused on why someone was knocking on her door.

"Can I come in?" She heard Rose's voice and rolled her eyes in annoyance, she stood up and took long strides towards the door to lock it but Rose was fast to open it before she got to the door.

Rose gave her a small smile  as she stepped into the office and Faiza watched her angrily.

"What do you want?" She asked and Rose shrugged as she sat on the sofa.

"To give you an explanation," she answered and Faiza huffed out.

"I don't want to hear it."

"I know, but you need to hear it," Rose said.

"Rose, I really don't have the time for this."

"You don't have a therapy session until afternoon," Rose replied and Faiza sighed knowing she would never win against her.

"Faiza, I would be lying if I said I know how you feel because I don't," she started.

"Great, thanks for telling me that, I needed to know," Faiza faked a smile at Rose.

"But I want you to understand that I did it for a reason," Rose said ignoring what Faiza said.

"I have known you before you ever met this guy, and I was even the one who advised you to accept his proposal. And I know of everything that has been happening since you got married and up untill now."

"I don't know how to explain this, but it's hard to watch you suffer Faiza in the psychiatrist hospital, knowing how healthy you were and how capable you are at turning people's pain into happiness, it hurt watching you like that Faiza. And I hurt more that I know who did it to you, and it hurt the most that I advised you to marry your own destroction. I couldn't bear to see his face Faiza."

"That's why you hid his existence from me? That means if you have the power to do so now, you would," Faiza said and Rose dropped her gaze in reply.

"Rose, how would you feel if I did the exact same thing to you with respect to Jose?" Faiza asked and Rose frowned.

"But Jose didn't hurt me," she said quickly in defense.

"Same thing with Farooq, he never meant to hurt me, all what he did was under the influence of his mother. So if Jose hurts you under the influence of anyone, would you love for me to hide you from you husband?" Rose sighed and shook her head reluctantly.

"Then why did you do so to me, knowing you cannot accept the same?" Rose was tongue tied, she was confused and speechless. She just sat in her spot, fiddling with her fingers.
