Unpredictable

Episode nine.

****************

It was a hot and lovely afternoon,the sky was clear blue as the town’s people decided it would be a good day to sun bath and have ice cream dates. But as far Abdulmalik and Amina, it’s like the busiest day of their lives.

Lately,they have been having hectic and boring days. Sometimes,they don’t even spare time to eat until the gods of the stomach show their wrath (I was just exaggerating. Lol.. smiles and winks)

To lighten the situation,Abdulmalik decided that it’s high time they give their brains a break. So he planned a trip for him and Amiina..

Amina’s senses flew to the moon leaving only her body on earth. She jumped like a first class squirrel on hearing.

Good lords Amina!!! Are you nuts? Don’t spoil my hearing pianos. Abdul cried.

Sorry. Amina managed to say. Her mind seems to be 300 worlds away.

I will be going to Paris,my dreams will come true,I will snap 2999 selfies on the Eiffel Tower, I will eat all manners of cooked cheese, visit all parks in paris,wear 24 sets of clothes in a day… well I’m going to do a lot of things (that’s typical Amina fashion?

Her surprise stimulators seem to came down a bit when Abdulmaalik told her that they were going there just for three days.

Don’t be a fun-phobic. She bellowed. Even if I’m going there to spend one milli-nanno second, I’ll make the most out of it. What matters most is that I’m going to Paris and we are together. She said flashing him a smile.

Well i think her stimulators are high again. Abdul thought to himself.

Can you tell me what you planned for us over there? Amina asked curiously.

No i won’t. It is a surprise.

Tell me a bit.

No it’s a surprise.

Okay give me a hint.

No for heaven’s sake Amina.

Okay give me tad bits. Amina said patting her lashes like a kid.

Oh my Allah I have landed my self in a trouble trailer. Amina I’m not telling you anything. It’s a surprise. And surprises are supposed to be kept as secrets until the d-day. Don’t worry too much,it’s going to be exactly the way you want it. Abdulmalik said and with that,he left. He needed a hot shower as a result of stress.

Well i don’t really care,I will know when the time comes. Amina said slightly irritated.

*******

When Abdulmalik came out from his comforting shower,he went straight to his closet. He took out his clothes hopping on his trousers. It was the he realized that Rufaida was sitting on his bed with chocolate all over her.

That’s my baby,the chocolate freak. He thought to himself.

She smeared the chocolate all over her face. She looked just like a clown.

I just pray your mom doesn’t scold you for spoiling my bed sheet. Abdul said as he scooped Rufaida into his arms.

Actually she won’t scold you since she gave you the chocolate herself. He grabbed the tissue box on the bedside drawer using it to clean her face and hands.

As he was cleaning Rufaida, Amina came into the room with two cups of coffee. Well,Abdulmalik was a coffee freak. Amina stood rooted to her spot when Abdulmalik flashed her a smile. He was holding Rufaida SHIRTLESS. They looked so cute.

Hey stop staring at me that way. I know I’m handsome and my body is well defined but you have to go easy on me or I will have to be self conscious. He said smirking as he turned his attention back to little Rufaida.

WHAT? Amina thought. So this is your revenge huh? She said. Too bad there’s nothing handsome and well defined here. She finished pointing at him.

Why can’t you just accept defeat for once Amina. He asked smiling. I know you love me. He said flashing her those pearl whites.

Alhamdulillah. Allah has blessed me with the most handsome guy on earth. Amina thought as she smiled back moving closer to give Abdulmalik his coffee. They are such an adorable couple.

**********************

Muhammad entered the hospital scared of what he was going to encounter with. He had been feeling depressed Since when he was called at home. It was Kamila’s brother, Yusuf. He informed him of the bad situation Kamila was in and it broke him.

Kamila had been coughing blood lately and she didn’t inform anyone until it got worse. Her hair had fallen drastically. She is presently in the intensive care unit.

Muhammad met with Kamila’s mother, she told him everything. He felt as if the world was going to collapse so he left them at the hospital saying that he needed to unwind. He couldn’t see her in that condition. It was so bad.

The doctor had said that she won’t live for long. Muhammad knew that so he tried not to break down in the presence of her family. He needed to be alone. It was so heartbreaking.

He went to the cafe where Kamila works and ordered for an Frappuccino setting himself in a quiet place at the rear end of the cafe. As he took his Frappuccino,he remembered the times when he visited Kamila there. He remembered her full blown smile whenever she saw him. Those were the times when they didn’t have to worry about anything. As he was remembering those beautiful moments,a hot tear trickled its way down his cheek. He was so hurt.

Yaaa Allah please don’t take Kamila away from me. He prayed. He couldn’t imagine Kamila dying cause is she does everything will be bad. He would be lonely then.

Ya Allah Kamila is too young for this. Take my life instead ya Allah. He couldn’t imagine Kamila dying because if she does everything will be bad. He would be so lonely then. Yaa Allah Kamila is too young for this. Take my life instead please. He kept praying as tears involuntarily flowed down his cheeks.

People passing by gave him weird looks so he decided to leave the cafe. After all it would only make him remember the good times. He called abdulmalik wanting to meet at a park near by. Abdulmalik sensing the tension came immediately.

They sat down quietly on a bench in the park with the cool breeze blowing upon them. If only everything was fine,then Muhammad would have enjoyed the breeze.

What’s wrong? Abdulmalik asked staring at the blank sky.

It’s Kamila. Muhammad said sighing/

Abdulmalik looked at him instantly. Is she at the hospital again?he asked with concern.

Yeah and this time it’s very bad. There is a low probability that she lives. He answered as he tried to hold his tears back. It’s very crucial. She is at the intensive care unit. Abdulmalik,I don’t know how to take all of these,it is too much.she is dying. What am i going to do if she dies? He said whilst rubbing his hands on his forehead.

There’s only one way to solve everything Muhammad. PRAYER. It’s the only solute. I’m sorry if this is happening but this is how Allah planned it. You can’t do anything. Abdulmalik answered feeling very bad and sorry for Muhammad. He knew how it felt to love someone and he knew how t would feel to loose that person. He couldn’t imagine loosing Amina.

Muhammad’s phone rang s they were conversing. He looked at his phone screen just to see that it was salma calling him. He disconnected the call and switched off his phone.

Abdulmmalik looked at him confused.

Why did you do that? He asked.

I’m not in the mood was all Muhammad said and Abdulmalik knew better than to question him again. He knew his friend so well that he can tell when ever Muhammad doesn’t want to talk.

***************

Salma and her mother Inlaw have been worried since Muhammad stormed out of the house. She had tried calling him but he disconnected her call.

Why was he shouting at the phone? Salma asked when he left the house.

From what he said,it must be that something happened to Kamila. Her mother in law answered. Ohh sorry, you don’t know her right? She asked.

I think i do. Is she a cancer patient?

Salma inquired.

Fatima nodded her head surprised.

We made acquaintance at the cafe she works. I guess she is the person he loves. He mus be hurt if something have happened to her.

Wow. Fatima wondered.

This woman must be very kind and reasonable. She thought to her self.

Yes I know salma. Look I’m really sorry. He can’t seem to forget her. I don’t want him to keep on thinking about her anymore. She will probably die soon and he will be heart broken. Fatima said.

Mama. Salma said paying her shoulders. You can’t help who you call in love with. Don’t force him. He is trying. Salma had nothing to say anymore so she prepared to leave.

Mama i will be going. She said to her mother in law.

What?? No you can’t leave alone. Wait for him.

Mama all the needs is space and time alone now. He will come around. Salma convinced. She always ended up convincing Fatima even though she her self, was not convinced.

Okay my daughter. Please be careful. May Allah bless you.

AN:hello everyone I’m sorry I know this chapter is boring. But please bear with me. The drama will soon unfold.
