Pearl (on hold)

Chapter 40

Wow,, fajr..
How long has she been sleeping? And in her room? At first she wanted to stand up and go back to their room but something stopped her, maybe he needed space away from her.

She definitely is extremely tired, which explains why she had fallen asleep without even knowing, she hadn't gotten enough sleep ever since the incidence.

Sighing she stood up and performed ablution and prayed her fajr prayer after which she recited qur'an and went back to sleep, well more of just laid in bed lost in her own thoughts.

Adal had just finished praying his Fajr prayer, he didn't even need anyone to ask him how his night was to know it was completely terrible.

He had laid in bed for at least three hours before finally getting some sleep, he just wishes in the middle of all these he wouldn't have to go back to the hospital,that would be the end of him,well technically.

He couldn't go back to sleep so he just decided to recite qur'an.

Afreen woke up and took her bath, she checked the time and it was pass 10, oh God she had slept for so long, and stella wasn't going to show up today.

She quickly wore a pair of shorts and tank top then tied her hair up in a high ponytail and dashed downstairs.

She was going to cook for him, despite the fact that lately he has been acting like a complete j.... Astagfurillah she wasn't going to insult her husband, but then he had to eat he was hungry afterall.

Minutes later, she was almost done cooking when she saw him coming downstairs, he didn't say a word to her, but she swallowed her pride and said good morning to him, and guess what? He replied with a nod.

Just great!

She was so angry, so frustrated with him, why would he treat her like that so suddenly, they were okay, in fact everything was okay before the doctor went in but things changed,well more of things changed between them, his behaviour towards other was still the same, in fact if she were to tell anyone this is how things turned out to be between them people might call her a liar.

He wasn't the same old Adal that she knew and she wasn't going to let him take advantage of her quietness, she was going to confront him and when she means confronting him she means now.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she had forgotten she had food on fire, suddenly when reality hit her it was too late as the food had already burnt black, everything just happened in a blink, more of confusion that she put her hands directly and almost immediately gave out a loud cry and moved back making some plates behind her come crashing down,turning to look at the mess she had made she mistakenly stepped on them causing her pain and then blood from her leg,she was scared, terrified,in pain that she just stayed rooted there,the close contact of the fire plus the pan and oil with her hand and the broken pieces of plates on the floor to her leg all came too sudden, the pain was too sharp her eyes started welling up.

Adal heard her scream and the sound of plates breaking from the kitchen and he immediately stood up and ran towards the kitchen ignoring the pain he was feeling, he was really scared thinking of worst things happening.

Immediately he reached the kitchen he could see how scattered things were around, broken pieces of plates on the floor and...blood?

He was scared to death as he rose his head and saw her looking fragile holding her hands, weeping and rooted to one stop.

''Ya Allah! Baby, what happened?''to hell with staying away from her, he knew this is completely his fault, everything.

He ran towards her to take her hands in his but she drew her hands back''don't touch me''she whispered silently, but a warning type of silence.
