My Crush

Chapter 24

Third Persons POV

"Do you still feel any severe pain down your abdomen again?" Dr Adnan enquired, worriedly.

Reedah's lips curved into a smile. "Not really. I'm much better now Alhamdulilah. It just itches." She responded.

"I'm glad it's just that. It shows you're healing already. Just make sure you don't scratch it, please. Every time it itches, try to endure and clean it with methylated sprit." Dr explained to her.

"In Sha Allah, I will do just as you said doctor."

"Congratulation then! since the stitches has been removed and you don't feel much pain again, except for the scratches - which show it also healing faster. you will be discharged today Insha-Allah, and medicine to be use to heal the inner one will be recommended to you now. If any problem arises, you can always come to the hospital in order to have a proper treatment." He said and hand over a hospital bag containing the medicines recommended to her.

"Thank you doctor, I really appreciate your effort, may Almighty Allah reward you all."

"Ameen, but mind you, it is our duty as doctors to ensure the wellbeing of patients." He remarked and smiled.

She returned the smile. "Alright, doc." She stood up and sauntered to her ward.

"I'm going to be discharged today." she announced to her brother, excitedly.

"Wow! really? Are you feeling better already with no more pains?" He asked, visibly worried.

"I'm fine and can also walk perfectly on my own now without needing your help or leaning onto walls."

"Oh! that means someone can even run now without feeling tired." Khalid teased "

"Trust me, I can but when I fall you will be the one to help me up."

Yushraf on the other hand was just happy to see his twin sis finally getting back to her old self of being jovial and lively. If only life will continue to be like this forever! - He desperately wished.

"So let start packing everything" They said.

As they drove out of the hospital, Reedah was so lost. Different scenarios playing in her mind. She couldn't stop the nervousness as she kept fidgeting with the edge of her veil, draped on head.

"Are you okay?" Khalid inquired, through the rare view mirror.

She adjusted her veil very well and responded." I'm fine" she gave him a tide lips smile.

He drove into the house and pulled into the parking space. He came alighted the car and helped Reedah to open her side door while Yushraf came out too.

"Welcome, Oga Khalid" Mallam Ibro welcomed and collected the suitcases from them.

The house was a series of rectangles, constructed of steel and glasses. It was unapologetically modern and humongous. It stood admist the manicure lawn as it beamed there than constructed. The root was flat and there were no any visible chimney.

"Let's go in, please," Khalid stated and moved forward while Reedah held Yushraf hand tight, feeling more nervous as they walked closer to the door." I'm scared Yushraf, I don't want us to be rejected just like our uncle did." She revealed with teary eyes.

"Don't worry, Reedah just have trust in "Almighty the most knowing and hearing" Insha-Allah we shall not be rejected." He said and pecked her hand.

Khalid pressed on the lock of the door. The door with a slab of shinny stainless steel. A maid suddenly appeared just at the door "welcome" she said and ushered the new visitors in - inside was minimalist.
