Chapter 26

Farah

Aunt Khadija is getting better. She got discharged and will take rest at home. She insists she won’t stay in the hospital for more than 5 days, and to be honest, I also hate hospitals especially the food, it’s as if they cook the food without any seasonings.

“Farah please can you help me with those papers on top of the drawer,” Jawad said pointing to the top drawer while working on his laptop. I did as I was told, giving him the papers something I didn’t expect happened. He pulled me to him, my hands landing on his chest. I could feel my heart beating fast and I know he heard it too by the amusement look on his face. He inches his face forward, I can literally feel his breathing, I close my eyes ready for whatever he’s about to do to me when I feel nothing. Opening my eyes he was watching me too with a slight smirk on his face.

“Something fell on your hijab,” he stated.

Ya Allah, what am I thinking?
