Faryah

17.

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

------------------------------ Olyster residence. ( same morning)

" Son, how are you?" Mother asked immediately I and Sophia walked in. " I'm okay Mother" I answered as she checked my lips. " Mother he's okay, he just needs rest" Sophia said as she hugged her. " Yes, I'll stay with you, I'll call someone and ask them to fill in for me" She looked so worried. As if I fell off a cliff. " no need mother"

" oh yes need, go take a bath and change and I'll get you breakfast, your grandfather and Brandon are taking care of things in the company, so you should stay at home" she added as we walked up the stairs. I nodded and followed her. "Mother, I'm going to have lunch with Ethan today, my classes finish by 5pm, when I'm done, I'll head over to Faryah" Sophia said. " How is she?" my heart sank as she asked us that. " She's still under observation " I managed to answer. " She'll be fine, hopefully " Sophia answered. " She's suffering for us" Mother said as we got upstairs. " She'll be fine" I said and hugged her. " I'll see you guys later" Sophia said as she entered her room. " I'll prepare your breakfast, freshen up okay" Mother said as she left me in front of my room. Sophia had already handed my painkillers to me.

I took my bath and wore fresh clothes, I wore my socks and used my hoodie cap to cover my hair as I laid on the bed. I was sleepy all of a sudden. " Khalid, here, I brought you a bowl of veggie salad and a fruit bowl, with tea, milk and sausages, with soft coconut bread and normal bread and you could use the Jam " she said as she placed my food in front of me and sat on my bed. It looked much, but I needed healing, I had to eat. " It looks much" I said as I cut my sandwich. " you should eat much, eat and take your medicines" She said as she caressed my cheek and smiled as I began eating.

" How is Pamela?" she asked as I was almost done eating. " She broke up with me" my mouth was stuffed with vegetables. " she found out about Faryah right?" She asked again and I nodded. " The break up isn't affecting you" it wasn't really, cause I knew she was going to come back. " It is, but not much, cause..."

"cause you like Faryah" she cut me off. " No, cause I know she'll come back" I answered and gulped down my milk. " what if she doesn't?. You know I don't want her back, I like Faryah for you instead" Mother said as she poured a glass of water for me. " Pamela is the one I love, no take backs" I said as I ate my bread. " You're forcing yourself to love her, you do know that right?, and I want what's best for you son" Was I really doing that?.

Nahh.

" Mother don't worry, I love her willingly " I assured and watched her sigh. " But you and Faryah fit so perfectly, in every way, and you know the main reason why I like her, she's that perfect piece that completes you" she couldn't be serious right now. " Mother, No, I and Faryah, a No zone, Nehi" the veggie bowl wasn't that bad. " Fine, I'm done making you realise what you truly feel for her. But hey, one last question, why do you always go see Faryah at the hospital?" I had no answer for that. It felt like she was a magnet that was pulling me closer to her each day. " I can't say anything about that mother, but it's going to stop, I'm going to reduce the rate at which I see her, it's going to help me get Ella back" I couldn't believe I said that.

" Are you sure you can do that?" I needed to be honest with her. She was my mother after all , she had to know everything about me. " Fine, mother I'll admit it, I just feel attached to her, kind of. Not that I like her or anything, I just feel attached" I watched her smile widely.

" Son, I'm not going to say it again, you really need to calm yourself down and think about what you truly really want, who you truly want" She was caressing my cheek as those words escaped her lips. " I want Pamela, I want to fix my relationship with her" she placed a small smile on her face this time.
