Hadiza's Pov.
I kept my phone on the kitchen island and walked to the living room where my husband was too busy typing things on his laptop.
I sit beside him shaking my legs nervously and smiling like I was insane.
"Hadiza please tell me, what is it?" He asks and I smile.
"I invited Fuad for dinner" I say back turning my head to the window to avoid eye contact.
"What!?" He asks obviously pissed off.
"I'm so sorry I should have told you but he is really sorry about what happened"
"After what he said to us how could you just invite him to our house without consulting with me first?" He looked scary, he was raging with anger.
"I know but—"he cuts me off.
"—If he wants to ruin his life then so be it but he won't drag us with him, I warned you about talking to him and yet you still did"
"He called me multiple times and I didn't pick up but then—" he cuts me off yet again.
"—But what?"
"He talked to Rumaisa about it and she told him everything so he decided to leave her once and for all but baba told him to either choose to stay with her or leave her and forget the fact that he has a family. And honestly he is my friend I can't hear that and say nothing"
"Wait what?! How is he doing now?" He asks almost in a whisper.
"I told him to come over and have dinner before we solve anything"
"Okay after that he and I alone are going to have a man to man talk"
"You had to stress that I wouldn't be there?"
"Yeah man to man no woman no baby just two men talking privately from the other man's wife and child. let me get some water from the kitchen" He says and gets up.
He comes back seconds later throwing pillows around.
"Ismail! Ismail! What happened?" I ask frightened by his sudden behavior.
"Fuad. I went to the kitchen and saw your phone ringing. He was calling you so l picked the call and I was told he got in an accident and your number was the last one he called"
I stood still, shocked.
"Which hospital?"
"Garden City"
"That's not far from here Let's go" I say running in to pick up my hijab.
"What about khalipha he's still sleeping?" He asks when I come back.
"Munira can stay with him"
"I forgot she was here. Come on let's go"
:
Ismail was talking to the doctor while I stood there impatiently waiting for him to tell me Fuad's condition. Moments later he comes back walking slowly and an expression I wasn't willing to accept.
Just then Fatima and Momi run inside the reception panting heavily with dried tears on their faces.
"Where is he? Is he okay?" Mama asks him.
I was happy they were here I knew I wouldn't be able to take anything I hear on my own so I called them and Rumaisa as well.
"He had a cardiac arrest before the accident. And he lost a lot of blood from the huge metal scrape that penetrated his lungs. He died before he was even arrived in the hospital"
Momi falls on the floor crying heavily. Fatima kneels consoling her mother as she cried as well.
I fall on the chair tears gushing out. Ismail seats next to me patting me gently on the back.
"I'll go take care of his release" he says before he leaves.
Next Salis came running like a madman and approached his mother and sister who kept crying and couldn't say a thing to him.
I get up to follow Ismail but she stops me.
"Hadiza...Where is he? You're crying because he needs surgery right?" He asks with his eyes bulged out already with tears.
"He's gone" I say hugging him and he hugs me back.
"He's gone" I say again.
After a while I let him go.
"I have to go see Ismail"
"Where is he?"
"He...he went to prepare Fuad's release"
"You stay here I will go see him" he says and I sit back before he walks away.
