-----------------Los Angeles, California.

-----------------------Same night ( Ella's apartment )

" Hey" she called as she pulled me into a hug as she opened the door. I held her by the waist and hugged her tight. She fit perfectly in my arms. " Come on in" She said as she pulled me into her apartment. It was still the same, it was pretty big, it had a pretty nice balcony with a great view of the city. It was painted white, with pink square tiles on the walls and floors. " I picked some funny movies, Jumanji?" she said as she pushed me further in. She was wearing normal shorts and a white tee shirt with cute slippers. " I've been wanting to watch Jumanji" I said as I followed her to the kitchen. " There's also Johnny English and I picked Parabellum out too" she added as she handed me a plate of brownies and another huge bowl of pop corn. " Take these to the living room, I'll take four Cans of Soda from the fridge and meet you there" She replied and I walked to the living room and kept the snacks on the centre table. " You're ready?" she asked as she sat beside. I wanted her in my arms. " Come here" I said as I pulled her into my arms. " I missed us together" She said as she wrapped her hands around my waist and rested her head  on my chest. " Where do you want us to get married, you want a church wedding or civil wedding?" I really wanted to distract myself about the wedding for now. I didn't want to think about what grandpa Julius was going to say or do. I didn't know what to do, I wasn't prepared for it. " Well anything you want Ella" I answered and took a brownie from the plate. " Yayy, I want a big wedding, it should be on magazine covers and all over the internet" I really didn't want that, at all. paparazzi and the media, I would've prepared it to be something quiet. " Goodness Ella, let's watch the movie" I said and sighed. " Fine, I still want a big wedding, you're staying over tonight, you still have some fresh clothes here" I wasn't really planning on staying over but the idea was great too. " Sure at least you'll be with me" I answered and fed her my brownie. " So yummy, You need to bring these everyday for me at work"  I said as I ate from where she took a bite from. " I can bring cakes too, any day I'm free, I’ll gladly do that baby " she answered as I tapped the remote to turn the lights off and to start the movie. " I love you so much Khalid" Ella said as the movie started. " I love you more" I felt guilty for saying that.

GrandPa Julius was going to be seriously mad at me.

------------------Los Angeles, California

---------------------- next morning( Olyster residence)

Everywhere was filled with smoke, flames from the car was everywhere. I was groaning in pain from the glass that bore into my skin and burns I got. My head was aching terribly, It hurt so bad. I could only see darkness, I laid still in the bushes. I was so little, I couldn't move. " Ummah" I cried, that was the only thing I could clearly say. I could talk, I wasn't mute, I could talk. " Ummah" I cried again, this time louder. The pain was getting much more worse. I was sweating all over. I couldn't take it. " Ummah" I cried louder, this time waking up to find Khalid in front of me.

I was breathing fast, I was sweating all over. Khalid was giving me a questioning look. His hand was caressing my arm and it really made me feel better. " Are you okay?" it took time for me to answer him. I didn't know the answer, I couldn't answer him, I didn't know if I was okay or not. What was the dream all about?. " Faryah" He shook me lightly and I looked at his eyes, I felt my stomach flutter at how handsome he was. He looked at me with concern. I slowly nodded and watched him sigh. " I heard some funny noises from outside so I came to check it out, you need water?" he really was concerned about me. I was thirsty. Very thirsty. I nodded again and felt my hair loosen up. I wasn't in a hijab. He was my husband so I guess this was okay. I watched him stare at me and my long dark hair. He didn't take his eyes off me. " I'll go get you water, I'll be back" he said and walked out of my room. Why was I in an accident?. Why was I looking for my Ummah?. Maybe that was the accident that made me mute. But I could speak clearly. Maybe it didn't mean anything. It was just another plain nightmare. " Here" Khalid said, walking back into my room. I bowed my head in appreciation and took the cup from his hands. I could feel a strong connection when my fingers brushed his. I quickly gulped down the water and he took the cup. " You're okay now?" he asked and I nodded. " Good" It was 9:00am, I had already prayed Fajr, So I went back to sleep and I had the nightmare. " Are you hungry?" I nodded almost instantly. " Well Everyone is out, I'm sure the maids are busy, I'll prepare something for you" He was too nice. My goodness, how could someone like him have anger issues. He was handsome and considerate and nice, falling in love with him couldn't possibly destroy me.
