Conflicting Emotions (Muslim Love Story)

19) Accident

Hey guys I'm very slow n I'm sorry for that just my sister's wedding n all

Anyways here you go!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

AALIYAH'S POV:

"Accident?"

"Yes ma'am, Mr. Akbar Khan was involved in a head on collision with the drunk driver of a semi truck"  the paramedic explains

The air has been knocked out of lungs and the only thought going through my head is this cannot be happening right now, not to him.

Still in my state of shock I get out of bed with the phone to my ear l, not able to say a word, I knock on my brother's door. When he didn't answer on the second knock I just walked in and shook his sleeping body awake.

"Aali don't you kn- what happened?" Instead of responding I stuck the phone to Ahmad's ear and watched his face change from confusion to shock to pain to panic. I don't think I've ever seen that many emotions on my brother's face in such a short time before.

He got up and I followed, we got into his car and headed to the local hospital where Akbar was taken.

When we arrived the only thing I could do was follow Ahmad because I certainly was not okay. Shock had taken over my body.

When we entered the room there was Akbar on a gurney hooked up to all sorts of wires, wrapped from abdomen down in white cloth. His face was covered in blood and scratches.

Everyone turned to look at me but my only reaction was to stand beside the hospital bed and stare at the guy I loved, the guy I thought I'd never lose, the guy who had betrayed me not long ago, the guy who had called me many times but I ignored him.

I wish I had answered his calls. I thought as I reached to touch his cheek. Just as my fingertips touched his jawbone his whole body twitched, scaring me and all the machines started beeping.

In a blur there were doctors and nurses everywhere ushering us out of the room

"Nooo" I strained, I couldn't bear the thought of losing him, not now. Not ever.

"Are you okay Aaliyah?" My brother asked, wrapping his arm around me . All I did was shake my head.

Several minutes later a nurse comes out and Ahmad makes a move to talk to her without me but I stop him,

"I need to hear it too." I say and continue walking towards the nurse.

"Sir, I'm sorry to say, Mr. Akbar Khan has passed into a coma"

"No no no no" I wail and slump to the floor right in the middle of the waiting room of the crowded hospital.

"Where's my son! Where's my son!" I hear a screaming woman but I don't look.

Mrs. and Mr. Khan approach us and once they discover the truth,  both are devastated. When Mrs. Khan sees me, she starts screaming "you did this! All because of you my son is half dead it's all your fault you filthy slut!"

This causes me to curl tighter into a ball and bawl my eyes out because I know her words are true, I did this to him. If I had picked up his call he wouldn't have gotten into an accident and been in a coma two days before his first year in university.

* 2 Weeks Later*

I refuse to leave the house. Forget that I have refused to leave my room since the day I saw his body on that hospital bed. The only time I left was to go visit him every day. I'd just sit there and talk to him, tell him how sorry I was and beg him to wake up and just say anything. Anything at all.

I longed to see his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, his pink full lips had turned to a dark brownish shade with a cut and the dried up blood that wouldn't come off his naturally pale skin had turned a shade of yellow and his eyes formed huge dark circles around them, he didn't look anything like the Akbar I knew but I will wait for him. I have faith that one day he'll wake up.

My friends had tried to drag me to school but There was no point, my parents try to feed me but there's no point, I'm breathing right now, but without him, there's no point. I call his phone every night to listen to his voicemail because that is the only way I'll ever hear his voice again.

Once I left the hospital, I made my way home. As I was walking down the street I bumped into none other than Shane, he looked a little tired. I mumbled a quick 'sorry' and went my way but he was quick to follow.

"Wait Aaliyah! How is he?" He asks

"Idk" I say not bothering to say the whole sentence

"He'll be fine okay just get your shot straight and move on! He's one guy-"

"One guy that I love and can't live without! One guy that I can imagine the rest of my life with! One guy that is on the end of his life because of me! One guy that vowed to never leave me but he has! One guy that promised me that I meant the world to him but all I was, was a bet that he made with YOU! So fuck off and let me drown in my misery!" I scream, letting a sob slip out at the end.

I walk home and curl into a ball in my corner and weep. I don't know how long I stayed there, maybe a day or two- but who cares.

* 1 Month Later*

"It's almost November and you haven't gone to school for ONE day." My brother lectured me one weekend when he was home from university.

I shrugged.

" it's your senior year you know."

I shrugged.

"You can't graduate if you don't attend school."

I shrugged.

"Aun's here."

I shrugged.

" I bought you a new car"

I shrugged

"Aaliyah"

I shrugged

"You love him a lot don't you." I nod.

"Aaliyah if you love Akbar then listen to me okay!" I nod.

Then he started the super long lecture that I should attend school and keep going with my life and all that crap because it would mean something to Akbar and that Akbar wouldn't want me weeping over him and all that bullshit.

But one thing was right, I had to go to school sooner or later.

"Ahmad, just stop. I'm giving up! Can't you see? I'm giving up on him, on me, on life. If he d-d-dies. I'm doing to die too." I say my voice cracking.

My brother wraps me in a tight hug as he watches me cry for the millionth time in two months.
