On The Wings Of Dream

Chapter 33:Can i move on?

Bilal...

   "Have you carried the water flask?".

My mum asked mashukhat as we all packed to go back home after Yusrah was discharged.

   "OK, please take very good care of your wife, her blood pressure is very high, about 200mmHg, she is now under medications but you need to make her forget about her loss. Please be very careful".

  I nodded my head and shook hands with the doctor before going out to meet my family in the car.

   "We will go with her in my car".

      I said, leading Yusrah to my car  and opened the passenger door for her.

    I helped her sit down and drove out of the hospital, with a hand over hers.

  
    ☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁

   "Mum please let me go home with her, i promise i can take care of her".

    "But...".

"No fateemah, let them go, she will be alright". Dad interfered.

I let out a sigh of relief and smiled while mum glared at me.

    I bade them goodnight and took my wife home.

   Yusrah still didn't utter a word since the incidence. I tried all i could but she didn't talk.

   "Sit here let me make your bathing water".

  After making a warm vanilla scented bath, i came back inside the room and met her where i left her.

  I kneeled down in front of her and started undressing her while all she did was stare at me.

   I picked her up in my arms and went inside the toilet and dropped her carefully in the warm water.

  After scrubbing and massaging her body, i wrapped her up in a towel and went back to the room with her.

   I dressed her in her nightgown and went into the kitchen to make food for her, but unfortunately i don't know how to cook.

  After contemplating on what to do, i grabbed a box of coco rice and made a bowl of it.

  "Here, get up and eat my love".

She shook her head and closed her eyes, tears streaming out of them.

   "Please baby, don't do this to yourself OK. Now get up and eat".

  She still didn't move so i gently sat her up and tried feeding her but she wouldn't open her mouth.

  I kept the bowl on the table and leaned her on my chest.

  "Baby what you are doing wont help matters. Starving yourself in your condition is not good. Please stop it. You know i love you so much and can't bear to see you like this".

  I whispered in her ears.

     I slowly brought my lips to hers and fought my way inside. Kissing her, i grabbed the bowl and scooped the cereal, releasing her mouth from my kiss, i shoved the spoon inside her mouth and watched as she gulped it down. That was how i fed her till she finished and helped her brush her teeth.

    "You want to sleep?".

She shook her head.

  I sighed and turned on the air conditioner and off the light, including the bedside lamp. I hugged her tightly and stroke her hair.

  "Sweetheart you haven't slept well for the past one week, please sleep".

   I closed her eyelids with my hand and kissed her lips, stroking her back and telling her soothing words, and within a minute, she slept off.
