Zohra
Nuaimat just like her brother were at all not excited with the recent development, i don't know if they are being modest or anything, those two are indeed brother and sister.
The night Nuaimat's awaken went viral, alot of people thought they could now visit her but, still they were allowed in, the normal us were allowed in.
While i was downstairs watching the normal activity in the main hall, all of them suppose to have gone already but Nuaimat's news was a Blast and no one wants to miss the whole ordeal for the world, So they stayed back,
Muayad was seated in the mist of kids like Tanisha, Tanisha was on his laps as he converse with the kids, every now and then they will all chorus with laughter, lots of the Aunties pass him with a pat, squeezing the cheeks or offering him sweets directly to the mouth, some of our younger female cousins will team up and approach him with a tray laden with maybe cookies or another kind of sweets or chocolates, he accept it with smiles and then he will share it among the kids, girls i muttered,
I decided to join him and the kids, come to think of i am yet to have a normal conversation with my newly found cousin
"Hey" i said on reaching them, they all turned to me, "aunt Zohra" they all chorused while only Tanisha said "Momma",
"Hey kids can i join you" i asked and they all nodded and made space for me in their circle.
"Uncle Muayad is telling us stories" said Tanisha and the rest nodded in Support of what she said "owkey, i will join in hearing" i said
"No since Ya Zohra is here, why don't she tell us her story" he added, "juice time juice time" sang Jameena in the hall, it was meant for the children, so all the kids swam up to her, "they all love Nuaimat" i said with a sigh, "how is she taking it" he asked now sounding worried, "still shock, she will get over it don't worry" i said trying to sound comforting, "i wish" he said sadly, He sighed and added "anyway thanks for everything"
I chuckled and patted him saying "you know what, don't make me blush, cause i won't look good, unlike your sister who i heard looks cute when blushing, my brother told me" we giggled at the same time,
"Don't feel bad she asked you out, she needs it and i promise you she will come around" i said reassuring, he nodded as we watch Jameena now giving the kids a cup of juice each, she approached us and gave Muayad a cup saying " one for the new handsome cousin" she said, Muayad giggled, Jameena is so blunt about guys,
i shook my head with a smile, she motioned to me if i want "orange juice, i will pass" i said, she stuck her tongue at me and walked futher.Just then Zaid came up to me, "i heard she is awake" he said looking as worried as ever,
"Am not talking to you" i said and turned to walk away, please i want to see her, i need to see her" he said
"Am not Nuaimat to answer that, excuse me, i think she is done showering" i said coldly and walked away without even sparing him a second glance.
No one's POV
The next day Nuaimat still said she wasn't ready to see anyone, only her brother was exempted, so when he was let in that morning by Aunty Yusrah, he headed straight to the bedroom, she was seated up on the bed, halve her body in the blankets, she was wearing a vest, and the female doctor just finished giving her some injections, "owkey, i will leave now, i will send down doctor Sameer with the evening dose" said the doctor and left,
Muayad stood by the door and watch her massage the arm she was injected on,
"Well come on in" she said inclining to him with her head, he sighed and joined her by the bed side, "Snickers, Tanisha snucked them for me yesterday" she said showing some chocolates, he chuckled and said "Cavities", "oh" she exclaimed, and set to open up one of the chocolates, "this was your favorite" she said waving a dairy milk chocolate bar, "no that was your favorite, mine was Mars" he said calmly, she giggled and said "i know, i just wanted to make sure you haven't forgotten about me", he also chuckled,
