"Doctor, is she alright?" Ibrahim asks the doctor as he walks out of the theatre room

"Well, she is responding slowly to treatment and hasn't woken up yet. She was brought in with some bruises and scrapes, she was also burnt but it wasn't that serious" the doctor informs

"Can I see her now?" Ibrahim asks

"I'm sorry but you have to wait a bit, I would recommend you take her to your family hospital for better treatment because she must have a personal doctor am I right?" he asks

"Yes" Ibrahim answers.

"Ok then ill inform the nurse to let you in soon to see her but for now please wait" he says to a nervous Ibrahim.

"No problem" he says sitting back down as he watches the doctor leave into the operation room

He catches a glimpse of Aisha wearing an oxygen mask and some band aids on her face and body making him feel guilty of the whole situation.

. . . . . . . . . . .

After an hour or two Aisha woke up and the doctor had sent an exchange letter to Aisha's family hospital.

"Now Mr. Ibrahim you will be led by an ambulance which would take Aisha to your family hospital and she can get full treatment there" the doctor explains

"Thank you sir" Ibrahim says and turns to leave the hospital

*

He enters his car and drives behind the ambulance which takes Aisha to the family hospital.

When Aisha is transferred Ibrahim waits till he is allowed to go in to see her

"Mr. Ibrahim!?!" A nurse yells walking out the door

"That's me" Ibrahim says and walks into the patient room.

Aisha is laying on her left-hand side so she isn't facing Ibrahim.

"Uhm. . ." Ibrahim clears his throat.

Aisha doesn't respond and Ibrahim swallows a large lump in his throat.

"Look I am so sorry that you had to go through that and uhm I hope you feel better, I also hope you get better soon." He says and Aisha adjusts her position making Ibrahim realize that she was sleeping and not listening.

Ibrahim felt embarrassed and just rubbed his neck.

"Aisha uhm please wake up soon" he says and grabs a seat having a seat in front of her.

He admires her beauty and realizes she looked very cute when she slept. Aisha left her mouth slightly open and she was about to drool but Ibrahim got a tissue and wiped her mouth. He didn't know why he was doing it but he felt some sort of feeling he'd felt before but not for her, he hadn't felt this way in years.

"Fadujiruewjirynz" Aisha murmurs, she's probably having a dream. Ibrahim unconsciously smiles at her actions and rubs her cheek making her move and frown, he quickly removes his hand.

"No baba, he no ddedhello no!" she says again.

Ibrahim sits back in the chair and also dozes off.

**********

When Aisha wakes up she sees Ibrahim sleeping peacefully in the chair beside her

"Did he seriously wait for me?" she asks herself

"Maybe I did" he answers

"Why are you here?" she is startled at first but covers it up with a frown.
She sits upright on the sick bed and faces him
