He walked and walked far away from the room he had exited. He found himself outside the hospital then took a seat within the hospital premises.

Ahmad rubbed his fingers over his head as if that would dissipate the thoughts in his mind. He had always had impressive self control but what was that back there? If one counts as a mistake...then... If he had his way he would have avoided her heck, he would make sure their paths never crossed again! The scent that lingered on his nostril invalidated his claim. He was mad at himself at how insensitive and reckless he had been. How could he have been so affected by her that he lacked the thought to know it was wrong to..she had nearly drowned, then he senselessly made her breathless for reasons he couldn't fathom all in one day! There were so many thoughts running through his mind. It was just too much for him to handle at once.

The image of her lying lifeless before him threatened to bring back chapters from a phase he had buried deeply within. He had never performed so poorly as he was doing as her husband. The culprit for the office break in was still at large, she wasn't even done recovering from that then this happened. Destiny was  a thing he believed in strongly still somehow his incompetence was to be blamed. 

A persistent sound caught his attention all of a sudden. It had been playing for a while. Ahmad looked around him but all he saw were people going about their business. The sound came again, this time he realized it was coming from his pocket. He reached for the device in his pocket. The name that popped up almost made him drop the phone back in his pocket but he knew better.

"Are you tired of me already?" the silk soft voice came through.

It had always been pleasing to him except that moment it made him want to scream.

"I can't do this right now, I am in the hospital."

"Oh my God! Is Mammy okay?"

She knew how dear his mother is to him so that came to her mind first.

"Yes. Its my wife on admission."

"Oooh!" There was a pause "Sorry to hear that. I hope it isn't serious?"

She couldn't believe the words were coming out of her mouth. But then again it didn't matter, she would do anything to get back her rightful place.
