To Break the Jinx

Chapter 3

Meeting you feels nice...

The rest of the day was uneventful and night came so fast.
Majeedah spend the night at the hospital after she had called the office that she wouldn't be around the next day. She slept sitting on the chair and resting her head on the bed.

Majeedah left immediately after daybreak to make some food and got back just when she was opening her eyes. She smiled pleasantly like a child that was gifted a bar of chocolate and voiced a good morning.

All she got was a nod,at least she acknowledged her presence now...that's okay for a start.

Majeedah assisted her to wash her face and set a steaming bowl of rice and stew that carried an oh-so-nice aroma in front of her afterwards. Her eyes flickered when she saw the food,this earned a grin from Majeedah as she served both of them.

They ate silently,making sounds only with clicking of the spoon and at times their mouth as they chew at the food.

Shortly after the meal,Majeedah thought it was a good time to talk. She cleared her throat almost nervously, thinking again as she did. She didn't want to pressure her to talk but she needed a clue at least. She started anyways "what's your name? "

"Rahma"

Majeedah gasped,She didn't expect her to talk,she almost concluded that she's dumb. She guessed that Rahma was starting to get comfortable around her.
Noticing this,she continued delightfully.

"Such a wonderful name, but what were you doing on the bridge? Also,we've not gotten any news about a missing girl,are your family members not around?"

Rahma only shook her head and stared on.
Her guess was wrong,maybe it was time for a break...
