Faryah

27.

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

------------------------Lily's hospital ( Same evening)

" Faryah" I called as I happily walked into her room and found her groaning in pain and holding her forehead. " Are you okay?" I panicked as I rushed closer to her and tapped the red button on her bed that alarmed the doctor as I kept the coffee on her bedside table. She was in terrible pain. " Goodness, what's going on?" I panicked again as I watched her groan louder and the doctor finally arrived with nurses as they injected something into her. I watched as she finally calmed down and took a deep breath and batted her eyes as she looked at us well.  "I have been waiting for that to happen" Mike began as he looked at Faryah's eyes. " it came so suddenly, and the pain was terrible, I felt like my head was going to explode" Faryah whispered as I intertwined our fingers.

" the headaches have begun, did you try remembering anything, are do you remember anything?" The doctor asked her as he put the torch back in his pocket. " A name, I heard a name and the pain started" she answered quietly. "It's very possible that the name is part of something you're finding hard to remember" he answered and she nodded. She was falling asleep. " I administered her a pain killer and a sleeping aid, we can't really do much about the headaches, all we can do is to give her painkillers" Mike said as she finally fell asleep. " is it going to stop?" I asked. " It will when she finally remembers everything" he answered and I nodded. " Thanks doc" I thanked as I watched him leave.

She looked so beautiful even in her sleep, even with the pipes connected to her nose to aid her breathing well. I fixed her covers and used my fingers to move the strand of hair that was covering her eyes. I loved her so much. I could finally admit it to myself.

The way Pamela acted towards Faryah earlier today made me realise that I was done trying to make things work between me and her. It wasn't going to change because the new feeling I felt towards Faryah was sincere. It made me feel at peace . I was only going to be hurting Pamela more and more if we continued like that. I couldn't bear to see her hurt. Me ending things with her hurt me, but deep down inside, I knew that I was doing the right thing for both of our happiness.

I threw myself on the comfy couch in Faryah's room after taking my coffee from the table next to her. Work was going smoothly. Brandon had shifted the production of textiles to Africa and I was still finding the perfect models. The designers were Brandon's Job. All was moving smoothly. I heard the door open and saw Sophia walk in. She looked cute as usual. Not as cute as Faryah. " Hey, she's asleep?" Sophia asked as she walked in and I saw what she was holding. She was holding a pizza box and some Chinese food and a pack of three smoothies and another packed food. " Yeah she is" I answered as I helped her keep all of them carefully. " How did you manage to get here safely with all these?" I asked as we dropped them on the table at the centre. " Well it so happened that I did, why is she asleep?, Mother packed some fresh beef stew and fried rice for her, with veggies, it looked so good" She whined as she sat on the couch. " She had an attack, she heard a certain name and the pain followed with it, the doctor said it was normal, and the pain was going to stop when she remembered all she couldn't remember" I said as I grabbed a smoothie. " Poor girl, after all what she went through, are you going to help her find her real parents?" we didn't really have much. " We don't have enough details, we don't even have a picture, all we have is a name of a brother and a Nanny, and that her real name is Fauziyyah" I said as I took a slide of pizza. " She can't even remember their faces, but hey can't you try convincing her to you know describe the face of her rapist, even if he's dead, we can still identify him and maybe search for reasons and things that led to him kidnapping her" she had a point. Faryah didn't even like talking about him. I didn't want to pressure her.

" I'll try and see what I can do" I answered. " But not now, let her get out of the hospital first" I added. " She's definitely going to cooperate when we make her realise that she can find her parents by that means" Sophia added as she joined me, taking a slide of Pizza. " Sure, she has to, we need her to be fully alright now" I answered as I ate and looked at her sleep. " Yeah, did Pamela take care of her?" she asked as I remembered what happened earlier. How she was pleading. " She did, surprisingly" I answered again. " She didn't lash out at her?, well that's new "
