Twist of Fate

BK 2 Chapter 26

BK 2 chapter 26

Why did he have to come now!. 

Why is it that every moment of happiness, he always comes to damage it, I wondered. 

I couldn't move from where I stood, I was frozen. 

Abdulrahman was talking to me but I didn't respond because the fear I was feeling was greater than my auditory sense. 

I wanted to talk but my vocal cord to carry the sound was not working. I wanted to move my hand to point but my hand was not working also. I was feeling lightheaded, my breathing was coming out in a short pant. The world was spinning around

Not again, I thought. 

Today was going smoothly, I was enjoying today outside with my husband but I felt like puking. 

I didn't know how it happened but I was puking all the content in my stomach while Abdulrahman was patting my back softly. I groaned, he gave me water to wash the disgusting taste of the food from my mouth. I also used the water to clean my face. I felt dizzy. Abdulrahman had carried me to an open store, he took the chair for me to rest. The rain was still pouring all it might. 

"How is she now?" I heard someone asking Abdulrahman while he answered. The voice sounded familiar to me. I couldn't see that person because Abdulrahman was standing at my front. 

Our clothes were drenched, "S, how are you feeling now?" Abdulrahman asked worriedly while I shivered whether because of the cold or fear. 

I nodded my head slowly in answer. 

Maybe I was dreaming, maybe he wasn't the one. Maybe I was hallucinating, I thought. 

"What happened earlier?" he asked, "and I was talking to you, you didn't reply, it was like you were in some kind of trance," he told me softly while I wetted my dry lips.

"Nothing". 

"If not because of that brother, I don't know what to do. You just went down and collapsed before you started puking" I added, handing me the extra coat in his car to me. 

"Who?" 

"That brother" then pointed to the person that caused all these and he smiled at me. 

Smile! 

Those smiles that haunted me, that always made me check my back every time. 

Those smiles that made me jumpy all the time. 

He came forward, with every step he was carrying to us, my breathing was changing and it was hurting my rib cage. 

"I'm Khaled" he introduced himself and shook Abdulrahman's hand. 

What was he doing? 

Don't shake his hand. I wanted to say but I couldn't. 

Abdulrahman did not know him, did not know what he was capable of doing. He came to me.  I wanted to scream but I just sat without doing anything. 

"Thank you," Abdulrahman said while smiling at him. 

"It is a pleasure and nice to meet you" he bowed his head a little like a gentleman he was not. 

"And meet my wife - Um Abdullah," he said looking at me dearly. 

Cut the crap. Abdulrahman!. He knows me, I yelled out but in my head. 

Abdulrahman looked at me expectedly to reply or say anything. 

"What are you doing here?" I blurted out in my shaky voice which laced with fear. Abdulrahman looked at me dumbfounded. He was shocked while Khaleed looked surprised.
