Their Inocent Sister

ch- 26 Regret

Aafiya's pov

I was sitting on my hospital bed while mumma was feeding me soup and all my brothers are watching me closely as if I am not a human. Except for Hamza sir.

Speaking of him, he never actually came to see me or to even apologize concluding that whatever aadil Bhai and aaban Bhaiyya said about him regretting is definitely not true.

And yeah i am addressing them as  bhaiyya now because I've seen their efforts regarding pacifying me and i know that now maybe I won't be ignored by my brothers. I can clearly see the concern and care for me in their eyes but I am not going to back off this early.

I know I've ignored them enough before but I don't want them to think that I am too much naive for me to accept their regrets this easily. While thinking all this i didn't paid attention to the soup which was in my throat now making a burning feeling which made me cough badly.

My brothers rushed to me and Shayan bhai patted my back lightly. Aaban bhaiyya gave me water and I gulped it down. As I looked at them i couldn't believe my eyes, they were soo worried for me. (Sigh)

Aafiya- i just coughed nothing else. Why are you all soo tensed.

Saad- you don't know aafiya, even a cough can kill a human.

Aadil- obviously she knows better than us idiot, she is going to be a doctor in just three years. Do you even know the M of the Medical.

Zayan- he has a point though.

Aafiya- it's ok he didn't said anything wrong. I said and Saad bhai smiled at me while others looked annoyed.

Asra- chalo ab tum sab idiots baher niklo and let aafiya rest. Anyways the doctor has said to keep her away from diseases as well.(Now you all idiots get out of the room) She said keeping the bowl on the side table while my brothers looked at her with wide eyes.

I chuckled at her words as she rushed out all of them but Shayan and aaban Bhai came to me and pecked my head quickly before leaving, others were already pushed out. This brought a smile on my face and i layed on the bed as I felt sleepy now.

Some of them went home for a while and some where in the canteen. So only Shayan was with aafiya while she was sleeping. Shayan's phone started ringing so he went out of the room to attend it.

While Shayan was busy, someone entered the room without him knowing. Hamza went near aafiya and gently caressed her head with his eyes filled with tears.

He wasn't able to face her when she was awake as he knew how she would hate to see him now. He was aware of her caring side towards him even though he didn't showed any mercy to her.

But now maybe she'll really stop caring for him and that thought scared him. The regret and pain he was feeling was killing him bit by bit and he knew that even if aafiya forgives him, he won't be able to forgive himself.

When he was busy in his thoughts, aafiya's sleep broke. She felt a hand caressing her head and thought that it's one of her brothers. But when she turned and looked who it was, she widened her eyes, not in shock but fear.

She quickly got up and moved away from him almost falling from the bed but quickly balanced herself. And in that process her wound touched the edge making her wince in pain.

Hamza Heard her painful voice and was about to reach out to her but she  shouted on top of her lungs making Hamza freez on his place.

Aafiya- NO!! PLEASE STAY AWAY!! She thought that maybe Hamza is here to hurt her.
