What is the purpose of my life, I can't keep friends anymore I have nobody to call mine.
I didn't wait for the car to full stop and I jumped out of the car with my bare foot. I pushed the door and ran to the receptionist.
"Mr. Salim?" She asked before I could say anything.
"3rd floor room 9" she said
"3rd floor room 9" I repeatedly said running to the elevator. After a lot of battle between me and my body to
Respond I walked out of the elevator looking for room 9.
"Here!"
I pushed the door to reveal a dark quite room only the sound of the air conditioner could be heard.
I walked into the dark room limping on the wall to avoid hitting any thing.
Suddenly the light's wet on.
"Happy birthday!!!" They all shouted
I was confused and scared they were so many people on seeing Mary, zufaya and lastly salim my mind was at peace. I couldn't understand what was happening.
They all walked up to me with flowers and boxes in their hands.
"What were you thinking?" I said throwing myself on salim making sure I squeezed him hard.
"What were you thinking!?" I asked again
"You got me scared, don't ever do such a thing please" I said wiping off my tears and wiggling my hands at bothe Mary and zufaya.
"Am not dead" salim said sarcastically.
"I will kill you!" I threatened.
"Woah! Easy man" he replied raising hi shands up to his shoulders.
"Don't ever do that again" I said quivering my lips trying so hard not to cry.
"Am sorry" he whispered into my ears making my body tensed.
"Come on girl, let's party!!zufaya shouted making all the audience quite and everybody starring at us.
"Come, let me introduce you to my friends" salim said dragging me by my hand.
We walked towards a group of guys dressed respectively and rich.
"Hello guys meet halima" he announced
"Halima this is Ammar, John, sadiq, Ahmed, and lastly my best friend Jamil" he said pointing at each guy but the last guy looks farmilair.
"Nice to meet you guys " I said waving.
"Happy birthday!" They all chorused.
"Thank you" I said bowing my head down to realize the trash I was wearing.
OMG! I was bare foot and in my bath rob and PJ. I touched my head to realise it was open and bushy.
"Ya Allah" I shouted putting both hands of my head to cover my hair.
"Its okay" one of the guys said.
I knew it! The guy from the plane.
"Oh, am really sorry I got...."
"I did this, am sorry" salim said handing me over a white cotton veil and I tied it around my head .
"Do I know you?" I asked.
"Maybe" he replied.
Arrogant!.
"Oh! It's you the girl from the plane" he said smiling.
"You know each other" Salim said.
"Kind of" Jamil replied.
"The girl I was talking about" he added trying to avoid eye contact with me.
What was he talking about? About me.
"Oh" salim replied snaking his lips.
"Yeah, umm happy birthday " Jamil said.
The birthday party went on with DJ playing loud music and food and drinks been served I and salim were sitting by the corner watching.
Is this not a hospital.
"What we're you thinking?" I asked
"Oh my! How many times are you going to ask me that"
"Is this not a hospital?!, what if the police get here and arrest all of us, an not ready to go to jail I can't! And how did you manage to throw a party here? What of the sick people? The music is so loud I can't even hear myself? What were you thinking?" I concluded taking a deep breath.
He was quite starring right into my eyes with a blank expression I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"I need to tell you something" came his sweet shaky voice.
"I don't want to hear it"
"And you didn't answer my questions" I said smudging my eyebrows.
"I will, just give me a minute I want to tell you something" he said leaning closer to me.
"Ewww! What are you doing?" I said pushing him back.
"Please, listen to me" he said.
"I see where you are heading to, I have to go" I said standing on my feet turning to leave.
"No wait" he said grabbing my wrist.
"Let go" I said clenching my teeth.
"Never" he said with a smile.
He dragged me to his arm, I could feel his warm breath on my face and his strong but sweet Cologne.
"I love you" he whispered into my ears.
Everything went on slow motion his lips were syncing slowly but very attractive. My heart stopped beating for a second and everything was back to life.
"I know" I replied trying to hide my smile but my heart took over my body.
"I love you! Halima mudaris!" He shouted making the music stop and a round of applause went on the room making my my spin in different directions I was happy, shy and felt bad not knowing why.
"I told you she has a great sense of humor" zufaya said.
He was standing there all this while video taping everything on his phone.
"Ya Allah" I said hitting my forehead.
"Okay it time for your birthday gift"
"Oh you don't have to do that, all this is enough" I said trying to hold back tears.
"No baby enough is ever enough for you" salim said.
For the first time I felt secured by him calling me baby.
"Mine first" zufaya said handing me over a box with "BRAIN BOX" broadly written in blue ink on it.
"Thank you love" I replied I turned to see salim heated up face. I laughed.
Mary, and many others including Jamil gave me gifts of wonders.
"Mine is special, come with me" salim said dragging me out to the balcony. The cool strong breeze and the heavenly view of the city made my heart scatter into million pieces.
"You didn't have to do all this " I said I interlocking my fingers with his.
" I had to"
"For you" he said starring into my eyes.
That eyes!.
"You know, I never thought I will be able to do this" he said.
"What? Standing outside with the love of your life?" I said giggling.
"Yes actually, confessing my feelings to you, I had to practice for 3 months"
Wow! He has been in love with me ever since!.
"You know, I was kind of crushing on you too" I replied trying not to look at him but GOOSH he was so handsome.
"Let's stay here forever" he said.
"And what about food" I said sounding serous.
"You and food! " he teased placing a soft pinch on my nose.
"We would order our favourite bread everyday" he said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"No touching" I said hitting his hands.
Ouch! You skinny, handsome man!" I shouted.
"You finally admitted it! I am handsome' he exclaimed raising his eyebrows.
" I always do" I replied.
