Drifting Apart ✔

21 || FINDING OUT (EDITED)

"What did you do?" Dina asked and Aysha was still sobbing not able to speak a word.

In shock and concerned over her friend strange behavior, Dina tried to calm her down.

"Calm down mana, what's wrong with you? What's happening? What did you do?" She asked gently while Dina knew Aysha was a great person but she does make drastic decisions.

"I...did it. I killed my child." Aysha sobbed. Dina was shocked. Killed her child? What child? What does she mean?

"I don't understand what you're saying Aysha. You know what where are you? I'm coming to you now."

Dina needed to see her friend to see if she still has her sanity. The way she was sounding, it was odd and not like her anymore. And her going on about aborting a child was just bizarre.
In less than ten minutes, she arrived in Aysha's office. Hurried to her floor and barged in through her door.
Aysha was sitting on the couch in her office. Her knees on the sofa and her head tucked in between. By the way her body was moving, she looked and sounded very worried.

"I know you're going to really hate me but I just need someone to talk to." Aysha sobbed softly.

"Okay. I got you. Stop crying and tell me what happened. You're scaring me."

"I.." Aysha rubbed her face. Unpinning her Hijab to make her feel more at ease. "I aborted my baby."

Dina jaw dropped. She was sure she heard wrong. Impossible. Her ears were playing tricks on her.

"What?" She shakes her head to relieve some of hee thoughts. "What did you just said? I swear I thought I..."

"Yes. You heard right. I just had an abortion." Aysha announced again. Taking in the reactions of her friend.

"I swear if this is a prank. I will kill you. Are you pranking me? Where's the camera?" She looked around.
Moving things that could block a camera out. When she didn't find any she turned back to her friend. "Are you being serious?"

With a no a nod of her head, Dina slumped back on the chair. Eyes wide and frantic. Her head was on turmoil. For the life of her she couldn't get why Aysha would abort her child. "Why?" She whispered.

"I...I just don't want a baby." Aysha started. Dina snapped her head up to take in her friend. "I don't, it was going to get in with my work, I just got a promotion as the managing director. Do you know how hard my life is going to be after this promotion? I'm going to get too busy for a child."

Slap!

It came out of nowhere. Dina couldn't remember when she raised her hand and slapped Aysha but she felt good. It felt good to slap her

Aysha looked at her friend through blurry eyes. It hurts. The slap hurt. And it was a wake up call.

"You're disgusting." Dina spat. "I seriously can't look at you right now." And then she left, leaving behind Aysha a sobbing mess. Sure she had differences with her friends before. But never have she been called disgusting.

"I'm back." Ahmad called out. Walking up the stairs. Aysha was on the bed. The abortion result on her hand. She was going through it and crying. When she heard him voice. She immediately spranged up and hid the results in her bag. Cleaning her face and parting her cheeks. So he wouldn't notice she was crying.

"Hey." He drew out. She smiled as widely as she could and moved to hug him.

"Welcome." He pecked her lips and dropped his suitcase on the bed.
"How was your day."

"It was fine." She replied as neutral as she could. "Yours?"

As good as a doctors life goes." He joked, making her smile. Ahmad looked at her. She looked off. "Are you okay?" He palmed her cheeks. Her eyes looked red.

"I'm fine." She immediately moved her face. Which made Ahmad more suspicious but he shrugged it off. It was when they were downstairs watching a movie that Ahmad asked for orbit.

"It's in my bag." She told him. He stood up and walked into the closet. After looking at to bags and didn't see it. He called out to her.

"Which bag?" He yelled.

"The one I wore this morning. The black one." She yelled back. It was quiet for a few minutes until like a light switched. Her brain comprehended what he what he did. She sprinted up the stairs, praying to God that he didn't see it.

But she was wrong, as she entered the room, the paper was in his hands and with eyes filled with tears, he looked up at her.

"Aysha..what's this?"

Oh fuck!
