RECAP:

*2 Weeks Later - January 8*

Ring Ring.

The ringing of the house phone awoke me at 1 am that night - well who am I kidding I wasn't asleep anyways. Like the past six months, I was laying in bed replaying the times I've had with Akbar, from our childhood to reuniting the past year.

I slowly grumbles a few profanities as I pushed my way out of bed.

"Hello?"

"Hello A-Aaliyah, h-he's a-awake!" That was the voice of his mother. A woman who had almost lost her one and only son. She was in tears with joy and that caused me to tear up too.

For the first time in forever, I felt alive.

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

I dropped the receiver and ran to knock on my parents' bedroom door and screamed "Alhamdulillah (thank God) HE'S AWAKE!" As expected both my parents came rushing out.

I explained to them about the phone call and the miraculous news and we rushed to the hospital.

"Ma'am, please refrain from running in the hospital please." The officer's words were ignored as I ran into the elevator and pressed buttons hurriedly to get to the surgical wing of the hospital.

As I arrived to the 3rd floor where I'd see him, it struck me that I'd left my parents behind - oh well, they know the way.

Aaliyah's Mom's POV:

My daughter smiled after days, I hadn't heard a single word from her for the past two weeks and I heard the words of been anxiously waiting for.

I know most parents would be strict with the aspect of love but the truth is, being strict doesn't always help. I have given my kids the freedom but also outlined the boundaries they must watch out for and so far, my daughter hasn't gone out of those boundaries l, no matter what happened - the love of her life went into a coma and she still didn't do anything drastic. I'm a proud mother.

My daughter's voice was like music to my ears, her smile a blessing and the colour returning to face - she had come back to life in a way and this had made me glow with happiness only a mother would understand.

Aaliyah's Dad's POV:

My little girl has grown up and I am still having such a hard time accepting that.

Of course like any typical father I hated the boy who stole my daughter's heart, but when he went into a coma u realized how much she loved him and that it was nothing wrong to love- after all, Nasreen and I had a love marriage too (a/n Nasreen is Aaliyah's mom) 

Today the boy she loves awoke from an approximately 6 month coma and I can't lie it is one of the happiest day of my life because I get to see my little girl smiling again.

Aaliyah's POV:

Just before I was about to enter Akbar's hospital room, I froze, what did he look like? Would he even remember me ? Does he know about 'us' how will he react when he sees me? How will I react..?

"Come on, let's go." My mother held my hand and squeezed it in assurance.

I took one last deep breath and walked into the room with my parents on each side to witness the love of my life fully awake and smiling.

As we entered, everything felt like it was in slow motion, his head turned and eyes widened in recognition, his mouth opening to form an 'o' shape.

My parents patted my back and left the room, leaving the door open so we could talk but still know the limits.

"A-Akbar..." This was so surreal.

"Aaliyah." He said and continues staring. It wasn't until I actually heard him speak, that I realized how much I missed his voice.

"Oh my God." I gasped covering my mouth and furiously tried wiping the tears out of my eyes, in the fear that if I blinked them away, he'd be back in the comatose stage.

"Come here babe, don't cry." He said and reached his arms out. I ran into them, desperate to know this was true- that this was not just a figment of my imagination.

As soon as I felt the warmth of his arms around me, I collapsed into him like my life depended on it and sobbed until I felt lighter. And he held me and apologized and cried with me.

We sat and talked a little and basically just stared at each other until morning.
