Chapter 75

Later at Night :

I sat on the couch, next to my siblings. Rajwan was trying to confront me, which I didn't let him anyway, I was thinking hard. Allison was scrolling down Instagram nonchalantly, not caring about my situation.

"Adelle, it's going to be fine. I promise."
Rajwan said softly, looking at me. I didn't gave him a glance, as I stared into nothing, thinking.
"Why do you think he's here ? Michael, I mean."

I asked, turning to glance at him. His lovely green eyes shone back at me, concern filling them.
"I don't know. But I don't want you to keep thinking about him. It'll be fine."

I smiled at his remark, and for some reason, I remembered that day in Egypt, when me and Aya were at Notre Dame, and I pushed Rajwan away for asking about Mariam.

Thoughts brought other thoughts.
Notre Dame..
Notre Dame..

We were walking in a very high pace, talking to Rajwan, then I hit someone.
I stared into the person's eyes, and noticed that they were full of anger, hatred.

That face..
It's Anthony..!

My eyes widened in shock.

I can get it now.
How could I forget ?
It wasn't that long of a while. I couldn't believe it..Anthony was in Notre Dame that night. He stared at me with hatred, and right now he's acting like a gentleman. Why ? It's obvious ! Because he doesn't want me to tell the others where I saw him. What was he doing there anyway ?

My thoughts snapped back at my brother, who was still staring at me with worry.
I felt guilty for pushing him away that day. To relief my guilt, I hugged him.
He flinched at first, shocked, but eventually hugged me back, rubbing my back gently.

Allison looked up from her phone and eyed us weirdly.
"What are you two doing ? Did you miss him that much ?"
I rolled my eyes at her comment, and let Rajwan go.

"It's getting late, don't you think ?"
I said, wanting to get out of there.
They both nodded, and we ended up going to bed.
I, of course, couldn't close an eye.

10 Days Later :

Me, Barron and the others were quietly working on our God-knows-what. I didn't have to study, because the finals finished over a week ago. But Barron had to, so I couldn't distract him. But I wrapped my arms around his waist as if I didn't want him to escape. I don't know why.

Judy and Anthony were sitting beside each other, talking about whatsoever.
From time to time, I could feel Judy's eyes burning on me, and I assumed it was because I was hugging Barron all the time.
She was jealous.

However, a noise made me snap out of my thoughts, losing all the concentration I had.
Familiar faces were entering the location, two of them jumping up and down in happiness.
It took me a moment to realize who they were. But eventually I recognized them, and I couldn't believe myself.

"Aya..? Basma ?"

To Be Continued..
