A day after forever.

chapter 7

It was around ten in the morning, Sultana was preparing breakfast for them when she cut herself with a sharp knife, and blood oozed out, she scampered around the kitchen looking for anything she could use to stop the blood from overflowing. Sultan was  passing by when he saw her flustered state, so he hurriedly ran to her. "Sultana this is a lot of blood, why didn't you call me?" "It's okay Sultan, I did not know it was going to be as bad as this."

"We should go to the hospital your hand might get infected."

"It is ok it's just a small cut don't make it a big deal." She said lightly trying to conceal the pain.
"Sit Sultana." He knelt in between her parted knees and cleaned her finger like a trained nurse.
"Ouch! Ouch! Sultan! careful." "Sorry Sultana, you have to bear it." "Ouch, it is okay Sultan." She groaned painfully.
Hal who just came in was convinced it was not the best time to come to her friends' house. As she turned around to go back downstairs she saw the door open.

"Hey Hal, good morning, I didn't know you were here already," Sultan said.

"It is okay, I really shouldn't have come now."

"Why?" Sultan asked with a funny bemused expression on his face.

"Umm nothing, I don't think it is the perfect time."
"Okay, Sultana, Hal is here." Sultan looked skeptically at Hal and went to his room. "Everything okay, I heard you groaning seriously." "What did you hear?" Hal's lips curved into a mischievous smile.

"I heard you saying slowly, ouch, and the rest weird sounds you were making, I thought you guys were having a quickie." Hal said arching her eyebrows up.

"Hal, you and your wild thoughts, I got injured while peeling potatoes see." Sultana flashed her bandaged hand in Hal's face. "Oh, wow, now I get it, I gotta say I am a bit relieved, I just can't imagine you guys."  "Please don't, anywho, thank you for coming, but Hal, all this gayu for who now, abi you are looking for customer ne?" "You are mad I swear Sultana, you know I don't chase after guys, they chase after me."

"I can't deny that, but still." She pulled Sultana's injured hand slightly. "Hey, Hal that hurts."  "I know." They went to the kitchen. Hal helped her peel the potatoes, Sultana fried the eggs. As they ate, Hal came across some gist on social media.

"What the jahanam." "What is it Hal?"
Son of multi-billionaire Sultan Bashir Alico finally ties the knot with the daughter of business mogul, Sultana Sulyman. A source said they were arranged by their parents, and were said to have had their wedding on a low key with few friends and family. The two were seen holding hands after leaving a restaurant together. We are so happy for these new love birds and wish them marital bliss. We cannot wait to see their babies. But Young Irfan Bashir Alico is still single, we do not know for sure if he is ready to mingle yet, it seems we have only one Alico brother to look out for now, as his elder brother is off the market.

"Holy poraroes my friend is famous, now."

"Please cut the crap, I don't want this kind of things, they follow your everyday life and spread rumors about you that are not even true. Sultana shrugged her shoulders and let out an irritated sigh.

"Hal, I am going to Milan with Sultan next week."  "Aww, you should say I am going on a honeymoon to Milan with Sultan."

"You know better Hal, we are still getting to know each other." Hal shot her a questioning glare... "So you mean you guys have not like...?"
"Like what Hal?" "You know what I mean stop playing dumb."
"Nope Hal, we haven't done anything, we barely know each other, plus he has not requested for it so..."

"Aww, poor Sultan he must be such a gentleman to have waited, not all men can wait." "Is it bad Hal? I feel like I am denying him his rights, do you think God will punish me for that?"
"Not at all Susu, as long as he is okay with it, and has not said anything about it, God will not punish you it is an agreement of both the couples." "Preach sis."
