London,United Kingdom.
September,2011.
"Hello Rukayyah"I heard my mum's voice
"Hey umma" I was quiet still and was waiting for her to speak out
"Am sorry I didn't call back earlier"
"Umma what's there to say sorry about? I have been calling you for the past one month and texting you" I started crying "this was the same way you left me with Abu Zakari i should have known, am your child for pete's sake you even forgot I existed and thank you I dont need to talk to you I have nothing to ask you or tell you" I spoke out angrily
"We lost alot money"she said
"Mum stop lying you wasted alot of money I saw you guys traveling around the world with Amal with that money my education is important I got this school because I want to make you proud and give you hope but am wasting my time"
"Do you have any problem?"
"No and Goodbye" I cut the call and mrs margaret came into the room
"Rukayyah, lunch is ready"
"Am not hungry" I said without looking at her
I sat down on the white couch facing the large window all I could see was the sun setting, I was automatically lost in my thoughts.
Night came,dinner passed, midnight came, i was still seated on the couch thinking "suicide" I said out finally "am tired" I finally screamed
"Am tired of everything" I screamed "why me?" I shouted
"I hate myself" I bursted into tears "I want to die" I said squeezing the bed sheets.
"Lord why?" I looked up with tears in my eyes
"Am tired of seeing everyday as the same" I walked to the bathroom and opened the cabinet then brought out some pills.
I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection, i looked pathetic then I opened the tin and poured half of it into my mouth and drank enough water.
I was on the bed seated crying and the door opened then Muneer walked in "Rukayyah are you alright?"with his Arabic accent and I just laughed and pointed the tin of medication.
"Rukayyah"he shook me "no dont do this, dont give in" he said and I mistakenly kissed him then he pulled away and was staring at me which I was too.
"Lets rush you to the hospital"
"Every teardrop is a raindrop from hell"
"Its okay am here now"he picked me up in a bridal style
"Dont give in okay"he slowly whispered in my ears
"I care about you" he said as he laid me in the back seat of the car and sat down there with me too.
"Umma"i called out trying to pass out "umma, I need you! You keep leaving when I need you the most, I want to leave the earth"
"Shhh... dont talk"Muneer said and patted my cheek
*****
Rushed into the emergency unit and my life was what the doctors tried saving because muneer had to do anything for me to survive.
After five hours of trying to sustain me, my system came back to normal but there was effects of the drugs still.
"She just needs to rest she was traumatized" the door spoke out Muneer looked at me and I did too then I turned.
"Rukayyah"he said and sat down near me on the bed, I was just mute.
"Hey"he touched my face and I turned to look at him.
"You should have talked to me on how you were feeling"
"And what could you have done?" I questioned
"We should have talked about it"
"Am tired of talking and everyone telling me is going to be okay" I stared at him
"Stop saying that"he held my hand and i pulled out "believe in yourself and God"
I laughed that the statement God "I don't think he knows am existing exactly the way everyone is acting towards me" I turned to the other direction
"He knows what you reveal and conceal" he said before getting up from the bed
"You are not willing to help yourself so I give up" he spoke out near the door then went out of the room.
Then a tear dropped from eyes "if only I could make everything easy"I swallowed my saliva "Ya rabbi help me"
Muneer went back to the mansion so stressed out and laid down on the couch in the living room so frustrated and what came to his mind was the kiss that happened earlier he rubbed his hair.
"She's lost, I dont know from where to start helping her"
"I know how to help her"he said out to himself
Xxx
"Good morning" I said to Muneer and he didn't smile
"How you doing?"he asked touching my cheeks
I pulled away "am good I guess I want to go home thats all"
"Can we talk about something?"
"Yeah,Go ahead"
"About yesterday you said you didn't believe in God"after him uttering this question I became mute.
"See "he held my hands in his and I was shocked at what he did "no matter what happened in your past life just believe that Allah will always be there for you,He knows why all this are going on"
"Do you think he will forgive me?"
"Why wont he? He always does that"he smiled at me
"and at every step I will help you get back to him"
"Muneer" I called his name out
"Yes Rukayyah"
"Thank you"
"Stop thanking me you deserve it and about yesterday's kiss, I really liked it"he said then my eyes were wide as saucers.
"I think we should try that again"he came closed and grabbed my chin then smirked.
"You are beautiful"he whispered then lean in
"Muneer" I said scared
"Uhmm"he raised an eyebrow
"What are we?" I asked him
"I dont know but no one has to know what we are"then he leaned closer and his lips brushed mine and I didn't give in, I was just lost and couldn't believe what he just did.
"Never knew you could do this type of stuffs" he said then the doctor came in and he stood up to leave the room.
We kept looking at eachother till the door was shut.
