****3rd Persons P.O.V****
Salim followed the doctor to his office and Alhamdulillah it was nothing. The doctor said they'll just conduct some tests to make sure she's completely fine before thinking of discharge.
With his consent, the tests where conducted and Alhamdulillah she is fit.
"Doctor when will she be discharged?" Salim asked as he saw how tired she was already with the hospital.
" Maybe tomorrow Insha Allah since all her test results are normal, " He replied smiling.
" But she might experience headache when stressed out so I'll give you some medicines for her and After two months Insha Allah you should come back for another check- up, " the doctor added.
" Thank you doctor, " Salim said.

" Amal you see you're so clumsy just weeks after your wedding and you fell down the stairs. If not for God's sake you would have been badly injured fa,"Ummah who is just back from her sisters' place scolded.
Amal just kept quite not knowing what to say. ' If only you know how I fell of the stairs' she thought.
"How are my babies," she asked instead.
"They are fine and won't you ask of your sisters?" She asked.
"How are they? I want to go see them" She said earning her a glare from Ummah.
Not long Ummiey came with Fatiyyah.
"Ummiey Ina yini," she greeted shyly.
"Lafiya Amal, ya jiki?" She asked.
"Da sauki," Amal answered.
Ummiey exchanged greetings with Ummah and they stood up to go see the babies of course Fatiyyah too ditched her.
She sat in there tired of the place already, she felt suffocated and was on the verge of breaking down when the door knob turn and in came Salim.
He salamed and she answered almost not audible enough. He moved into the room and sat on the chair beside her bed.
"How are you feeling now?" He asked.
"Fine Alhamdulillah," she answered not sure if she saw concern in his eyes. Is he really concerned about her? She thought. No he will never be concerned she was just tired. She thought again.
"What are you even thinking about?" He asked and she just kept quite seeing as he was her topic of thought.
"You should stop being too clumsy. Why were you even running down the stairs in the first place? Do you have any idea what would have happened if I wasn't there. You could have been badly injured. You shouldn't play with your life like that and please be more careful," He ended his scolding speech with Amal already tired of the hospital walls. It felt like a prison to her.
"When will I be discharged?" She asked desperately.
"Maybe tomorrow or next tomorrow Insha Allah," he replied her face suddenly changed. She wasn't happy at all. She was disappointed.
"What?," He asked.
"Can I please go for a walk? I feel like dieing in this hospital and it is not like I haven't recovered," she asked, " please," she added which made him sigh in defeat.
"Only if the doctor agrees," he answered heading to the door.
That utterly made her smile, a genuine smile.
She waited patiently for him to come back hoping the doctor would agree. Not long, Salim came back and told her the doctor denied but she was sad and on the verge of crying so he convinced a nurse to remove her cannular with his charm of course and they sneacked out.
He dragged her to his car and she stared at him confused.
" They will easily find us here so it would be better if we go elsewhere," he explained and she nodded.
She smiled a mischievous smile. This is so gonna be good. She thought.
He opened the door for her and she got in. He got in too and started the car zoning out of the hospital parking lot.

Seated on the mat sprayed on the grass, Amal stared blankly at the trees.
"It feels nice," she said smiling absent mindedly.
"Yeah," he answered smiling at her.
That smile, it made her want to live in the moment. She felt something shift in her chest. The feeling was overwhelming.
"I'm sorry," she apologized and he look at her confused.
"I'm sorry about the other day. I really didn't mean to upset you that way. I was just tired of this, everything and angry," she added making him feel ten times worse than what he felt.
"You don't have to apologize. I get it, I was at fault, I really don't have the right after treating you like that, I never respected you, I treated you like you where not human. I am to apologize not you." He said taking her off guard.
" So I am really sorry for what I did and I would really like it for us to be friends," he added and that left her speechless.
" Friends?" He asked extending his hand.
" Friends," she confirmed shaking his hand.
They smiled at each other before bursting into laughter.
They calmed their breaths down and she put her head on his shoulder suddenly felling a headache.
"Ahhh!" She hissed in pain. She really didn't mean to show her pain but the headache was intensifying.
"Are you okay?" He asked worried. She couldn't speak so she just held her head while he scooped her up as fast as he possibly could and drove back to the hospital.
Amal's headache had stopped by the time they went back to the hospital but Salim won't take it. He tried carrying her into the hospital but she won't let him so he held her hand and led her inside. They were met by their families by the door of her hospital room.
"I guess she wasn't kidnapped," Fatiyyah said smirking turning everyone's attention to them. Amal looked down her face red with embarrassment while trying to tuck her hand away from Salim's grip but he just held her tighter.
"Ina wuni," she greeted her face still down and they answered.
" Here we thought you've gone missing but I see you both ran away. So tell me where did you guys go?" Fatiyyah asked wiggling her brows and Ummiey gave her a snack at the back of the head.
Amal felt like the ground should just swallow her so she won't have to blush that hard.
"We just came to check on you guys and we're just about to inform the doctor and here you are," Abbah started a smile on his lips too.
" How are you feeling now?" He asked.
"Fine Alhamdulillah," she answered.
Baba enquired on her health before they left with Ummah and Ummiey.
They went inside the room while Salim with Muhammad went to get the nurse.
At the room Aisha and Fatiyyah wouldn't just let Amal rest. They kept teasing her till the boys came back.
They talked a bit before they all left the doe.
