About us.

Back again.

It was one of those days again. My favourite kind of days. Hussain was fast asleep when I woke up.
early the next morning. The serene look that he had on his face melted my insides like chocolate on heating.

I got out of bed,went to the bathroom and then hurried to the kitchen to make something that Hussain loved. I don't even what he'd been living on since the past whole (almost) week. I made his favourite food,boneless chicken with boiled rice and a bit of salad. It wasn't breakfast time,that's why. I knew Hussain was going to wake up pretty late because he was so tired last night. And it was already 11 am so yeah. For dessert,I made red velvet cupcakes with my easy and quick recipe. I was busy doing everything and setting the table when he came out of his room. His hair was all ruffled and he was holding one of his legs,limping towards me. I felt so bad for him,my poor baby. I quickly rushed towards him and helped him get to the sofa where he sat,his 'apparently broken' leg on the sofa.
"I'm sorry that this is what you have to deal with,even after going through hell the past week."  He said.
I gave him a weak smile and kissed his head,walking towards the kitchen again.

We ate food and laughed and acted like nothing had happened in the last week. But both of us knew that it was going to come up one time or another. And maybe this was the time. I just had so many questions.
"So,about last week..." Hussain said,almost reluctant to talk about it but also realising the importance of talking about it.
"Haan,aap mujhay batana chahain gay?" I said,sarcastically. I was just trying to lighten up the atmosphere. This much pressure and weirdness is so not what I can deal with right now.
Hussain laughed lightly and then sighed. He then started talking about it all.
"So basically,that night..you know? The day I got 'missing" (he made inverted comas in the air with his fingers) "well yeah. I left my office a bit early. And then after that I decided to go to see Ali,remember? My friend who got married last year? I tried calling you but my phone had died,so I decided I'd call you when I meet Ali,at his home. He has been diagnosed with cancer a month ago. I thought it was important to see him. I hadn't seen his new home,so I got lost on this weird looking road. That's where my car hit another car and I have no idea what happened after that. Luckily,the road was busy so there were some people who took me to the hospital. His house is actually really far away,I don't why I didn't realise that earlier. Its like 2 hours or something from our house. Anyway,yeah. I went to the hospital and apparently woke up after 2 days? And it took me some time to recover and the doctors wouldn't even let me talk,let alone get up from my bed and go out to get a new phone or something. Shehry came last night,I met him." He said and I gasped,almost angry that Shehry hadn't told me about Hussain.
Then Hussain laughed,as if almost reading my mind and said,"I told Shehry not to tell you about me. I asked him to take my car home because I'm not allowed to drive. Yet. So yeah."
I only shook my head and whispered,"Please. Don't ever do something this stupid again. Ever. Okay?"
"Okay,baby." Hussain said,sounding sarcastic. And then we both giggled.

Hussain had called his parents and all his close friends,who knew about him going missing,and told them that he was completely fine.
The next morning,I woke up feeling restless and nauseous. I rushed to the washroom and puked for 2 minutes straight. I was coughing inside when I saw Hussain coming inside,his hand on my back,holding my hair back. I felt so weak,like I'd faint any minute.
"You okay?" He whispered. I merely nodded and washed my face and went to the bedroom. I sat on the bed,Hussain beside me,holding my hand.
"Chalo,doctor kay paas chalain." He said,getting up.
"Hussain,no. You're not feeling well and I-" he cut me mid-sentence saying "Hani,please. I don't want any excuse right now. Get up."
I sighed and said,"Okay. But you're staying at home and rest. I'll go by myself."
"What?! No way. I'm driving."
"Hussain,I can drive. And anyway,you're not allowed to drive anyway. Aur agar tum ao gay tou mein nai jaun gi."
"Hania,tum bohat ziddi hou. Okay,go now. And drive safe,alright?"
"Drive safe like you?" I laughed.
He laughed too then and started tickling me.
"I love you,please take care of yourself." He whispered in my air,almost out of breath.
