Chapter 34

He left the room in hurry and headed back to where he left the room. "What happened? Where did you go to?" Muhsin asked as he adjusted his Babban Riga. "That girl, dalia isn't feeling well. I'm going out to but some aspirin." He told him as he searched for his car keys. He took it and left in a rush without retorting to muhsin's question. He went to a pharmacy and bought the preferred injections, drugs, heating pad and also pad for her before he went back to the house. Most of the people, including the groomsmen and the brides' in the house have already left for the event. He met aunty still together with her. "Yusuf, you're back." "I'm giving her injection but has she eaten?" He asked. "She ate not long ago so I think she's good to go," she spoke worriedly. Even though she knows not much about Dalia, she admired the girl. She's very calm and kindhearted. He gave her the injection with the thought that she might throw a tantrum at least but she was calm. Just few minutes after the injection, she finally slept off. "You should get going to the event, Yusuf. Everyone has already left," she urged him. "Aunty aren't you going?" He asked but she shook her head. "We have some guests here so your mom and I are going to stay here with them." After they've spoken, he left and went to the dinner also. The music was as loud as thunder; it made the cutlery on the tabletops rattles. Neon lights flashed everywhere like police siren, but much more colourful. Everyone beautifully adorned in their dressed and Kaftaans. The whole time amira was with her mother, watching every move he made. Deep within she was boiling with anger by the way his cousin, salmah was clinging unto him the whole time. She hated her the most. She watched as muhsin spoke with one of his male cousins while salmah wrapped her arms around his arm. He looked at her smiled before looking away and continued talking to the person before him. A knot tied in her throat as she furious stood up and left the place. She has had enough of their stupidity. Burning rage hissed through her heart like a deadly poison. It was erupting like a volcano; furry sweeping off her like ferocious waves. The wrath summed like, engulfing her morality and destroying the boundaries of loyalty. She scanned through the audience outside and peered at Zayd. She walked over to him, "hey zayd, could you please take me home? I don't feel well and I don't want to bother your brother." He looked around first to make sure he was the one she was referring to. "Oh, sure, no problem. This way please." He spoke, giving her a weird look. He led the way to the car and they zoned out of the place. mommy sighed and shook her head. She knew if she had followed her out, it would only draw attention to them. Muhsin never noticed she had left till zayd called and informed him. He called her multiple times but she never picked. Whatever it was he would find out when he gets home. ** He walked towards the door and turned the doorknob but it was locked. He rubbed the back of his neck while he knocked but no response. He knocked again many times before she unlocked it. He entered and closed the door behind him. "Why did you leave without telling me? What if Zayd haven't told me you left? What do you expect me to do?" He questioned. She settled down on the edge of the bed as if she was the only one in the room. "Amira, I am talking to you," he spoke much louder. She looked up from her phone and glared at him. "I didn't think you'd even noticed that I was there when you were all over that old rag." She referred to salmah. He couldn't help but chuckle. She was jealous of her? "If you're jealous because I was with salmah then you have a lot of work in front of you. Salmah is only my cousin don't forget," he reminded her. His words made her more infuriated. He was supposed to be on his knees apologising for what had done but he was here laughing and smiling at her. "I will send someone with your dinner because I know your jealousy didn't allow you to eat there." He smoothly walked out of the room. She threw pillow at the door and shrieked. She had to learn how to control her feelings over him. She can't be the one always hurting. But how was that possible when she knew he wasn't in love with her. She was the one going nuts about him. It was already past 1am but he never came back. She roamed around the room, thinking where he could be. Maybe he was with his cousins but he never stayed that late yesterday. Why tonight? Or he was with that girl again? She swiftly wrapped her scarf and stepped out of the room. "Its not my fault that I fell for you Hamma Muhsin. I mean, how can someone help it if you are so handsome and breath taking?" She flirted jokingly. Muhsin suppressed his smile, "each time I look at your beautiful face, it makes me winder, what is an Angel doing among human?"
