By the time Nabila disclosed the heartwarming news to Summayyah, she couldn't hold in her tears as she let them roll out with joy in her heart. She was excited that he wasn't dead and that soon everything will be over. He was the main card to their successful plans.

She packed up her belongings from the dining and heading to her room when she heard silent whispers, giggles and noors laughing coming from Faruq and Rukkayyah's room. A small smile curled up her lips as she turned on her heals and entered Azman's room instead with the thought that, in a few days, she and her son will be leaving this house in sha Allah.

Their initial plan was to get divorced at exactly after the two years, but because of Rukkayyah's health, they plan it to be after she gave birth and now Khalil's case is not making her even think about her divorce when her wedding with Faruq was just fake. She curled up on Azman's bed trying not to wake him up as she rounds her arms around his stomach, bringing him closer to her as she inhale sharping, closing her eyes to sleep. "Papa is awake my boy, your father is finally awake!" She mutters before sleep finally took the best of her.

At exactly 2pm. The news announced the recovery of Khalil while they were having some family time, Faruq and Rukkayyah were relieved and so is Summayyah but she had to pretend she doesn't know anything about it. "Ma sha Allah, I hope he is okay!" Rukkayyah prayed. "I hope so too!" She answered, glancing at Faruq before looking down at Noor who is in her arms playing with her bracelet and Azman was just touching her chubby cheeks. Sometimes Summayyah wonders why Babies are born with full cheeks when neither of their parent have one but the moment they grow, they lose it. Or is it just because they have been more healthy from with in than when she were born?

She thought of calling Khalil to hear from him after Luqman and everyone at home called her to tell her the news and also to hear some gossip. But she decided to just let him be until he is fully recovered but at that, Aisha is the closest Danger to him right now.

As promised to Ahmad and Mama, she dressed Azman and took him there to stay the day with her while she gets some mother and daughter time with her mother. Since the last time she visited. She hasn't had time to talk heart to heart with her mother which was just brief.

Meanwhile, Maryam on the other side was so hyperventilated by the news, she was boiling from with in and the reddish blush she had on increases due to home much vapor she was consuming from with in her cause of hatered. She smashed the glass of wine to the tiled floor causing all the worker to shiver. She screamed her lungs out until Nas, her Husband rushed to her in fright.

"What is wrong with you Babe!?" He asked, worries in his voice.

"He is awake, he just woke up!" She said, inbetween gritted teeth. Nas was confused, if he is awake isn't that a good thing that he didn't die? "Well toh Alhamdulilah, it's a good news!" He said.

She glared at him before slowly pulling away from his embrace. "Alhamdulilah you say!? A good thing huh!? That Bastard killed my brother and you say it's a good thing he died!? I should have even done it myself than having that witch do it for me!" She hissed, grabbing her phone from the sofa handle and heading to her room. Nas stood there confused and lost. "This wasn't the woman I used to know!" He mutters, taking a seat on the Sofa she was once seating as he tried to reminisce everything going on but nothing was he able to find. Maryam has worked hard for the life she has but somehow she was too conny to be understood. If they find out she did all these? She wouldn't be spared I swear! He thought to himself.

Aisha fetched a spoon full of rice pudding and was aiming to feed Khalil but he turned away cause a little from the spoon spilling on his blanket, especially the one Summayyah got him. He glared at her and softly wiped it off the blanket. He has been so obsessed with the blanket since Nabila told him who brought it for him. Aisha was confused by his sudden behavior towards her since he woke up but that didn't matter since he was awake. His mother who sat opposite them was frustrated that he kept turning his head every now and then before he eats.

"The doctor says you should eat!?" Khadijah said, looking away from her phone and facing them.

"Yeah maybe you or mum should feed me and not her!" He said, his voice filled with disgust even without looking at her. They didn't understand why he sounded irritated but Nabila could sense the unsensible and while they try to protest, she volunteered to feed him.

Aisha innocently moved away and let Nabila continue while she stood behind her, Khadijah called her and asked her to set beside her so she wouldn't feel left out but her heart broke into pieces when she saw him eating peacefully from his sister's hand and it also shattered when he calls her name, the one woman she hates.

"Why isn't Summayyah here!?" He asked and his mother hissed.

"Khalil I thought I said..." his mother stared but Khadijah interrupted. "I bet she will come later, please let's just let thing slide. Mama please stop behaving like this Dan Allah!"Khadija said and their mother didn't say anything. Soon Aisha's phone started ringing which startled her the moment she saw the caller, she immediately excused herself but Khalil has his eyes on her until she was out. 'She's suspicious!' He mutters.

"Did you say something!" Nabila Asked and he shook his head.

"Hello!" Aisha answered the call with a wobbling voice. "Oh Hello! I heard your husband just woke up! Congratulations!" Maryam said, placing her emphasis on the 'congratulations'  which made Aisha shiver, she is scared of Maryam, especially when she knows what she can do.

"Why isn't he dead?"

"At least he survived, it was something we didn't expect, he would have died and...!"

"That's exactly what I wanted! I wanted him dead that was why I ordered you to dismantle his car, if you think I just wanted to send him to the hospital for a period of time I wouldn't have done it!? You really don't know what you want you idiot!" She hissed.

"So now what!? Summayyah will surely come for him!" "But why!?" Aisha asked

"I filed a case of murder on your husband and I bet this time he would be dead!"

Aisha was stunned as she felt her knees heavy, "what did you mean murder, who did Khalil kill!?" She whispers.

Maryam chuckled. "I thought you were tough and crazy but you were just some scary little girl hiding behind a tough mask. I'm sure Summayyah won't let you stay close to her husband one bit you witch. And yes, murder. He killed my brother and I want the same for him!" She said before hanging up. Aisha couldn't register what she had just heard, Khalil committing murder? That's impossible. Tears started making their way down her cheeks and just then Amal walked into the hallway and saw her, she rushed to her aid but Aisha was so embarrassed that she ran out in tears. Amal wondered what happens as she walks into the ward room.

"What's going on!?" She asked and they all turned to her confused. "What do you mean!" Khadijah asked.

"I saw Aisha crying at the Hallway, when I asked her what the matter was, she just ran out of the hospital!" She disclosed, Khalil just sighed as his mother started to panic but that didn't really matter to him, Aisha had full her cup to the brim and right now he had had enough of her games.

Later in the day, Ibrahim, Khalil and Arif came to the hospital to stay with him. They had a wonderful time trying to keep Khalil's mind busy with other things while they tried not to mention to him his case allegation and that of his accident since they are still looking out for it. Khalil was so happy to see Arif that he thought he changed.

"Believe me Khalil. Arif is just a different person, he even praised Summayyah!" Faisal blunt as Ibrahim cleared his throat at him that's when he realized he let his tongue slip and as Khalil is a smart guy he asked. "Wait you guys met Summayyah!?"

"Well kinda complicated she often come to see you but mama refuses her to see you!" Ibrahim told him. Khalil was silent and didn't say anything concerning Summayyah and with his friends around him, he tried to cheer up with what they were saying until it was late that they had to leave and funny it was that Aisha still hasn't return until it was after 11 when Khalil was already fast asleep and the boys have left. She dropped her bag and sat on the arm chair beside his bed staring at him carefully as he sleeps.

'Why Khalil? Why do you have to kill anyone!' She said inwardly as she reached to hold his hand, she squeezed its softly as she placed her forehead on it. "I love you Khalil, it's driving me crazy!" She mutters but Khalil was already awake and he heard her vividly before ignoring it and going back to his sleep.

Khalil is a little bit different, it's as if he can tell what's going on with Aisha but not exactly what it was right!?
