Then came you

Chapter 37

"Babes!!" He said.  Nasreen walked up to him and engulfed him in a warm hug, she wept hard, Irfan rubbed her back soothingly. "It's alright Nasreen." He said calmly.

"Ha...beee...bb!!" Nasreen stuttered.   "What about Habeeb, oh my God did he hurt you?" He pulled apart the hug and scanned her appearance, checking every part of her body.

"Don't worry Irfan, he didn't hurt me, he is gone for good."  "Its alright babe, everything is going to be alright."  He placed her head back on his hard chest, and Nasreen continued crying.  "Stop crying Nas." He too cried a little. Rubbing her back soothingly.

"Hafeez where is your friend Nabeel?" Muhsin asked. "They have come to pick him up already."  "Seriously, did you happen to see who came to pick him?"
"No, i didn't,  miss Debra only took him out of the class."  "Okay then lets go home."
He walked the two of them to the car, where Amani was waiting. When she saw only the three of them. "Where is he Muhs?" "I don't know, they came to pick him earlier today."  "This is all messed up now."

"I know right Amani, but it isn't  really necessary for us to kidnap him, i mean we already have enough money that can change our lives."

"Speak for yourself Muhsin.. don't you know one day the money is going to finish?"  "Of course yes Amani, even if he gave you all the money in his account one day it will still finish, you have to find a way to invest this money, its quite plenty, this is something we didn't work for, and he gave you whole heartedly, without you stealing, or asking for a ransom."

"Aww Muhsin, that's my problem with you, you are so empathic."

"What ever Amani, am just saying the truth, now let's get out of here before that lunatic of a guy finds us, he has been acting off these days.."

"I know right, that means we have to hasten our roll, and know what to do with our  guy.."

"Speaking of Nasreen, when was the last time you saw her Muhs?" Amani asked.  "Its been quite a while, oh poor Nasreen she must be going through a lot."

"Look if you are going to be so empathic, i suggest you leave my house ha'an what is the matter with you?"

"Am going already, you don't have to kick me out, see the fine apartment Irfan got for you, for your safety, and yet still you are not content, you have a very comfortable roof to sleep under, you have a car and you have money loaded in your account all based on a lie, hmm i want to be like you when i grow up oo." Muhsin teased.

"Eyaah, you can't be like me if you are behaving like a duns..."

"Okay i have had enough of your insults am leaving, wait didn't you cook sef?"

"Cook what, are you mad, i just had my child ripped out of me.."

"Oh yeah Amani that was two weeks ago, and plus it was your choice."

"If you are hungry, Muhsin  go to the kitchen." He went and got a drink from the fridge.  "See you later Amani.."

Around eight pm, when Nasreen's stirred from her sleep, and saw herself on her bed. Oh my God. she said, running her hand in her hair, rummaging the bed for her hair ruffle.

When she found it she tied her hair with it and blew out a sigh, thinking of her life, her new life with Irfan, to be precise.
This was the rain after the storm, she had learnt that it was okay to forgive and let go, in fact that was all she had to do to be happy again. With that thought, she freshened up, wrapped herself in a pink and purple robe,  and strode to the downstairs.
