Moon and Stars

Chapter 18

Andalus's POV

Those blue eyes, as blue as the ocean, hypnotized me. I tried my best to lower my gaze and I 99.9% succeeded. But the unsuccessful 1% happened when I stared at Hilal when he was standing outside the room, impatiently waiting for Rayan to wake up.

Or probably for me.

You never know.

I'm sure you guys were wondering how I saw his blue eyes, how I even recognized them. Well ... they were glowing from afar, I even couldn't take my eyes of them. I felt an electrical chill running through my body which made me numb, number than I was, and this made me sleep, well made me pretend to be sleeping.

AstaghfirAllah, I said to myself as soon as I closed my eyes. But even when my eyes were closed, I still could see them. I still could see the wide ocean in front of me which made me feel like drowning, drowning in a good way.

Anyways, my days with Rayan in the hospital were pretty nice. Like yesterday he walked me to the hospital's park. We both sat next to a fountain and started talking about Hilal.

It was nice because we both sat next to a fountain, not because we talked about Hilal.

"So why are you mad at Hilal?" Rayan asked looking at me.

I looked at his hazel eyes, "I ... " My voice cracked " Well, you know, it is Youssra" I said but he didn't look at me "Never mind" I shrugged.

"Ah love, love and love" he said, rolling his eyes.

"What?" I asked smirking.

"You're the only girl in his mind, I guess so. Well you haven't seen the way he was looking at you when you were sleeping. You haven't seen him, waiting for you to wake up and to make his depressed face refreshed and happy." Rayan said rising an eyebrow "and you tell me you're mad at him" he continued, mocking the way I said the word mad.

If Hilal and I are going to get married, I shall sternly teach him how to lower his gaze.

"I thought you were sleeping" I said after a moment of silence.

"No, I wasn't. I was looking at both of you, you guys were so funny" he said laughing.

I rolled my eyes and then dropped them all at once.

Also yesterday I helped Rayan in texting his friends back since his arm was broken, luckily Hilal didn't text him so I was satisfied, after the talk we both had about him, I became more nervous, more than I actually am. I did him another favor and fed him vegetables soup, roasted potatoes and fruit salad, but he made fun of me saying that I won't be a great wife and mother in the future.

Well he doesn't appreciate anything, God.

My parents kept on coming and visiting us but I told them to not worry about us and waste their time by staying with us because everything seemed to be okay but they were so stubborn.

Aunty Iman and her husband did the same thing, too. She said that we'll be one family in the future so this made me close my mouth and stop talking.

I'm such a talkative person even when I'm sick.

Lisa visited me yesterday after she was done with her classes. I couldn't call her the day I had the accident because I didn't want to freak her nor my friends out. I know she would tell anyone who knows me and Rayan about the accident. Anyways, I called her yesterday and told her to promise me first that she won't tell anyone about anything and she promised me finally, after centuries.

On the other hand, Hilal, who visited us the day we had the accident didn't visit us yesterday. I don't know why.

Wish I knew why.
