Fear - Chapter 18

As I walked away being lead by Nasser, I slipped my hand to touch Abdulaziz's, just reassuring him one more time. I didn't know if he understood what I was trying to show, but I sure as hell was going to let him know. I was going to let him know he's the one. 

--

I began to take a few fast steps ahead of Nasser, it was my way of figuring out what to say. I looked back to see him just standing in his place and staring at me while digging his fingers into his dark jeans pockets. I caught a glimpse of Abdulaziz behind him; his eyes filled with sorrow and misunderstanding.

It was then that my nerves stopped holding me short of what I had to say. I just let it out because of that man standing right behind Nasser... That man that was Abdulaziz.

Lama: Nasser ana asfa lakn I don't want to be with you. I forgive you because I'm a forgiving person, but I'm in love with your brother. 

Just as I said those words, his eyes filled with rage. He turned around and looked at his brother with eyes full of hate and despair. I could almost imagine the red horns sticking out of his head, and the steam storm out of his ears. But no, what I really saw was his face turn into a very dark shade of red, along with the strains in the eyes that also turned dark red, and I saw the sweat drops making their way down his forehead. 

For a minute, I thought he'd go and attack his brother, but no. He left me with some confusing words and he stormed out of the hospital. But his words.. They kept running through my head, and I knew they scared me because I felt tingles rush at the tip of my fingers, and I felt that slight burn fly through my heart.

I looked back and there was no sign whatsoever of Nasser, he was gone.

But his words weren't. 

"This isn't over." 

The words kept repeating in my head as I twisted my heels around to look at a confused Abdulaziz with one hand in his light jeans, and another running through his hair while huffing; obviously irritated and tired. 

I walked up to him very slowly, and stood in front of me trying to collect my words. 

It was then that I saw my father a few steps away from turning a corner into the sitting room I was sitting in. I panicked at the sight of my father, he'd misunderstand this! 

I tried to scurry away while pushing Abdulaziz out of sight by pushing him down another corridor. He stood there confused until he also took a glimpse to find my father and then he stood still; casually looking the other way.

My father made his way up to me, his eyes still filled with disgust as everything dawn upon me once again. Oh yes, I was the disappointment of a daughter I thought as he opened his mouth to speak.

My Father: Your mother woke up. We'll be taking her back to her house to rest and your sisters will take care of her. My wife and I will be heading back home to rest, as for you.. Find your own way back to some type of shelter because neither of us will house a monster and I'll be in contact with you in a few days about where I plan to send you. 

I didn't really concentrate on his last few words as the word "monster" kept repeating over and over again in my head. The next thing I knew, my waist was being twisted to my left side to find Abdulaziz looking at me with sadness in his eyes, with worry in his eyes. I quickly took a look back to see where my father was and I found him already in the room with the rest of the family.

I didn't know where I was going except for Abdulaziz driving somewhere while I sat there silently, unable to utter a word.
