WHY MEEEE????

Twenty Nine.

Third person.

I still can't imagine who my life took a drastic turn all of a sudden. Hey, don't get me wrong.I love how everything is going smoothly with Ibrahim. I got to understand Ibrahim Now that he opened up to me. Although not all, I still appreciate the little he gave  me.

After spending two weeks at home, I finally resumed school and Ibrahim went back to work. He didn't want me to go back to school yet, to him I am not healthy enough. But for how long? I already missed a lot to begin with. Anyhow, I managed to change his mind and here I am walking to the parking lot where my driver is waiting for me.

My friends were happy to see me in a good shape again. I never knew I had so many loved ones until I came to see the better.

Flash back.

"What is taking you so long Dora? Dress to impress me?" He teased.

"That's not it Ibrahim" I answered shyly.

"Oh so it's not for me?" He raised his eyebrow eyeing me from head to toe.

"Noooo! I am just nervous." Yeah that's it. I don't even know why I am nervous, this is not my first time going to school, but I feel somehow, in fact I feel like not going anymore. I hate school, with all my life I swear. All I want to do is sleep at home all day and watch movie, maybe cook my favorite dish..... "

"Shhhhhhh Dora, you talk too much" he put his finger on my mouth to shut me up. "Everything is going to be fine" he assure me rubbing my back.

She didn't know how to reply so she nodded.

"Nervous of what by the way?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Uhmm..." She began to play with my fingers. "Honestly I don't know." She smiled at him.

He smiled back and shook his head. Without saying a word, he left the room...
Because if he didn't leave at that moment, he would have done something, which she wouldn't like. Or so he thought....

Maryam got ready and met him at the car already, and then they drove off in complete but comfortable silence. With both of them thinking of the other...

End of flash back.

"Maryam you need to visit your Step mother fah, let the bygones be bygones." Ibrahim suggested.

They are relaxing on the balcony of their house watching the sunset. It's been one hell of a stressful week for them, they never got time to sit with each other even though Ibrahim tried his best. Today being Friday, they both came back early and are enjoying each others company. Things decided to work out for them after all this times....

"Ibrahim I've forgiven them long ago, it's just that visiting them never crossed my mind." She replied him

"Though I never knew what happened." Ibrahim said in a low tune.  Even though Maryam assured him that she has forgiven him, he can't help but to feel guilty. Most especially when it has to do with her parents. He never knew she is an orphan. But no matter how hard he wanted to know every single thing that happened in her life, he couldn't. He's not ready to hear the wound he added salt to.

"Yeah, you never knew, and never want to know." Maryam replied with the same low tone. "But it doesn't change anything. The only thing I am still trying to figure out Is why you decided to play nice with me." She added and walked into the house giving him no room for reply.

Ibrahim didn't understand what happened at first, but then it clicked on him. His fear for not trying to listen to her is going to create a huge rift between them. And the last thing he wants now is to hurt her, or possibly make her sad. He wants to be the light in her life not the other way round. He wants to be the reason she smiles everyday.... And most of all, he wants to make her his...just HIS.
