You were successful in convincing me ☺

Anyway, enjoy..

"Humza don't do this to me.

Please wake up." I found myself caressing his cheeks with my thumb. My hearbeat thundered and clamoured dangerously. The night sky daunting us even more. I struggled and grapple to open my eyes. Humza was almost straddling and bestriding me. His neck was bleeding and I knew he wasn't fine at all. An unsettling feeling erupted at the back of my mind, as if I was about to loose something or someone precious. All my life I Had never found a person who was ready to give his life for me.

If we die, we die together. His words kept on haunting my mind. Something inside me changed at that moment, never to turn back again but It all happened because of me.

"Please, I can't lose you now. Please wake up for me." I confessed. I wasn't sure but I think I saw a smile at the corner of his lips. His eyes were close. If I had not known better, I'd think that he was high on weed. I was crying hysterically. I could hear when people were calling our name but I couldn't think. My organs couldn't function properly. The back of my head felt extremely heavy.

I turned us upside down. The moment his back met the slightly damp ground. He whined like a wounded animal. I took his hand in mine, it was burnt a little and he grimaced at the contact.

"Humza please wake up. I am so sorry." I sobbed. His body was almost lifeless beneath me. I was crying incessantly.

ALLAH don't do this to me. I can't live without him. I cried until I could no more endure the pain. The last thing I rememberd was a blanket being thrown at both of us and voices from all around us, some known while some unknown. I clutched onto Humza's shirt for balance and so that nobody could take me away from him but it turned black abruptly and my head fell on his chest.

I Could hear the sound of a heart beating at an unsteady pace. I groaned as the sunrays were almost blinding me, even with my eyes closed. They were forcing me to wake up from my deep slumber and I didn't want to wake up as yet.

"I think she is awake." I heard a woman say. The sunrays were no more hurting my eyes as I think someone was standing right in front of me blocking the sunlight.

"Ya rab! I can't thankyou enough." Another female voice spoke from my left. Why aren't they letting me sleep?

"Anaabiya please wake up. Humza bhai needs you." It was as if an ice bucket was thrown at me. His name had jostled me from my sleep. I now remembered the night completely. My eyes flutter open almost immediately as I tried to adjust to the bright lights and the unfamiliar surroundings.

I was in a room which was just like my previous room. I coughed as suddenly my dry throat bothered me. I Couldn't even swallow the lump in my throat. Maliha who was sobing, scurried away to the side table, pouring me a glass of water.

Bibijaan helped me to get up a little. I felt weak like I hadn't eaten for a month or so. They helped me drink the water. I gulped it down hurriedly to quench my thirst. It was in that moment I wanted to thank ALLAH for providing us with water, a gift which we often forget to praise ALLAH for. I could hear my own heart beat thumping against my chest.

"How do you feel now?" Bibijaan probed. Tears of joy pooled in her eyes. "Better."I managed to reply.

"How long have I been sleeping?" I interrogated, running my right hand over my temples. "Just a day and a half." Maliha enlightened me. My eyes widened in shock. "Don't panic. It was just a side effect of the medicines." I nodded my head in understanding. I looked around for Humza but he wasn't there.

"Where is Humza?" I panicked as fear and trepidation filled my insides. I looked at both the women who stared at each other in confusion.

"He is out of danger now. Doctors said that he was lucky as he didn't have any concussion but he has lost a lot of blood. His back and hands were burnt. They said he is in deep pain right now. He isn't conscious as yet." Maliha's locution seemed to have suck the air out of me, making it impossible for me to breathe.

"I... I need to see him." I stuttered. "It's all right. You are awake. He'll be awake too." Bibijaan reassured me but it was a waste. I reached out for her hand so that I could raise myself from the comfort of the bed.

"You are not supposed to get up Anaabiya. Doctors said you need rest. Your leg is injured." Bibijaan scolded me. I looked at my leg and it was bandaged. It wasn't a fracture for sure but the pain was still intense.

Bibijaan's words fell on deaf ears as I tried standing on my feet but a sharp pain ensued from my ankle and I sat back again. "Stop being so stubborn child. You need rest. I will go check on Humza and let you know." Bibijaan again began but I couldn't stop.

"Bibijaan he is my husband. I can't leave him when he needs me. Please take me to him. I beg you." Tears soon threatened to spill from my eyes. "I'll bring a wheel chair." Maliha said with finality. I Was never so grateful to her. Within a minute she was back with a wheelchair. Both of them helped me in adjusting myself to it before they began to push it in a direction.

We left the room and entered a neverending corridor. This place was massive and huge. "Who's house is this?" I interrogated. The ceilings were golden with antique chandelier hanging to it. Everything spoke of wealth here.

""This is Ahmed's house." I heard Bibijaan say but I had no clue as to who he was. There were multiple doors to my left and right almost like a hotel. I looked around and found two girls dressed in the same uniform. They were cleaning the doors and the other decoratives.

We rounded the corner and ended up into another corridor. I couldn't wait to see him. My heart hammered against my chest. Maliha ceased her footsteps in front of a double door. She then pushed the door open and I was greeted with a feeling of nausea. Huzaifa looked extremely disturbed as he sat on the small furniture in one corner. His hair was extremely disheveled like he was in deep agony. My eyes lingered to the only bed in the room.

Humza was laying on the bed, flat on his stomach. His back and head were both bandaged. An intravenous (IV) fluid was dripped through his arms to prevent dehydration and organ failure. I cringed back at the sight before me. I couldn't even think of what he must be going through. A nurse stood by the side of his bed. They took me to the side where his face was tilted. His skin looked pale and his eyes were shut like he was sleeping peacefully.

All of them left me by his side giving us some privacy. I looked at the door as it shut when the last person exited through it.

I looked at his face and studied his striking features. "Please wake up soon." I whispered, touching his cheeks with the back of my thumb feeling his chiseled jaw under it. I held his hand in mine, the one that wasn't bandaged.

I then rested my head on it and cried like a little baby letting my tears fall on his hand. "ALLAH please heal him. Please I can't take it anymore." I cried to Allah while holding his hands but all I got was absolutely no movement from him.

And just like that three days passed by with him laying on the bed with absolutely little or no movement at all. I had grown restless and impatient by now. The doctors said that he was healing but he had not once opened his eyes.

Huzaifa had once seen his fingers move and Bibijaan backed his words too. They saw it when I had gone to the washroom. A nasogastric tube was put through his nose. He was being fed through it. The drip on his arms were now removed.

My leg healed faster than I could think. It still pained but it wasn't that intense anymore. I could move on my own now without the help of a wheelchair.

I looked after him. The nurse had taught me how to clean his wound on a daily basis and so I did it on my own now. It felt as if I hadn't eaten for a very long time. I offered tehajjud every single night crying to Allah in sujood, asking for help.

I couldn't sleep at night knowing that he was struggling with the pain. I slept for an hour or two after fajir. It became a daily habit. I was sure of the huge bags under my eyes but that didn't matter. A lot of people came to meet him everyday. Not once did this Ahmed guy come in the room.

Even Ahad had come to see us. He was happy that I was fine and complained that I wasn't taking care of myself. I was already falling into depression. My life now was confined to this bed room alone. Bibijaan stood by us like a mother would. She helped me in taking care of Humza. Huzaifa was furious and brooding the whole time. He was busy in finding the cause to the fire. He thought it was suspicious.

When 5 days passed by, doctors said that he was healing faster now and the tube was removed the following day. I was so desperate that I didn't move from his side because I feared he'll wake up soon and wouldn't find me next to him. I didn't want to think about the newfound feelings that fluttered in my heart. I could ponder upon it later but I just wanted him to open his eyes and talk to me right now.

"Bibijaan just go and sleep. You were awake the whole night. You need to sleep." I looked at her with disapproval.

"And so do you." She pointed out. "Somebody has to be by his side." I Stated with convection.

"And that can be me. Look at you, what's even happening to your health? I am tired of you. You need to sleep as much as I do." She was angry now. This wasn't the first time she had brought this up in 5 days.

"I am fine bibijaan. See my leg is almost fine. Please go and sleep if you love me. When you'll wake up, I promise I will sleep." I assured her. She peered at me for a second and then heaved a dejected sigh. "Fine. I'll be in the next room." She spoke before leaving us alone again.

I turned my head to look at him. I placed my chin in my palms as I rested my elbow on his bed. I stared at his face longer than needed. A lone tear escaping my eyes now.

"Are you torturing me? Because damn this is working." I scolded him whilst sniveling.

"And you know what? You are a very bad husband." I accused him while wiping the tears that strained my cheeks.

"How about you wake up and we fight?" I proposed as I took his hand in nine and kissed the back of his hand softly.

I raised my head a little so that I could reach out to his face. I then kissed his forehead over the bandage.

My eyes ceased at his lips. They were still plump and an open invitation. I don't know what had gotten into me but I found myself leaning onto it. I then gave him a small peck on his lips and as soon as my lips met his, I felt an unknown tingling sensation throughout my body which lead to forbidden desires.

I was frightened like I had seen a ghost. My heart beat now on a riot. I moved back abruptly. What is happening to me? I am losing my mind.

My face was flushed as I turned around, my back now facing him. I breathed in heavily. I placed my hand on my rapidly beating heart to calm it down. "It's alright, he wouldn't know." I kept on chanting it like a mantra.

"What if he did?" A husky voice spoke from behind me and I felt as if all the blood from my body had suddenly abandoned me. My legs wobble as I tried not to collapse.

He was awake. A sudden happiness filled my heart but was replaced soon as embarrassment concealed it.

Ever so slowly I turned around, careful not to fall. He was almost trying to sit now. He scrunched his nose as I am sure pain must have serrated through his wound. I couldn't help but scuttle towards him to provide him my support. I wrapped my arms around his shoulder stopping him from getting up.

"You are supposed to rest." I spoke without meeting his eyes. I made him lay back on the bed. Please ALLAH make him forget about my stupidity. I will offer 20 rakat of shukrana.

"You didn't answer my question." His words made me meet his eyes and I regretted it instantly. He smirked and I realized that I missed his smile. My face was even more flushed now. Heat crawled up my cheeks as I looked around everywhere but him.

"I'll go call everybody." I declared almost splintering away when he caught my wrist tightly. "Stay." He ordered.

I then sat on the chair I was earlier seated on. "Can you lay beside me?" He questioned and I looked at him as if he had grown two heads. I hesitated, trying to think of an excuse.

"What? You can kiss me and I can't even ask you to sleep beside me?" Why don't I just die now? This was so embarrassing. He was sniggering again.

"Fine then I'll get up too." He began to throw a fit. "No please don't. Just go off to sleep." I said almost immediately.

"I won't until you lay beside me." What medicines were they feeding him? I looked around debating if I should or I shouldn't.

I lost the battle when he began to sit again. I quickly sat on his bed lowering myself so that I could sleep beside him, careful enough not to touch any part of his body. My palms began to sweat as I felt his intense gaze on me.

He did seem weak but the thought was replaced as his hand gripped my waist tugging me to himself. My breathe hitched and I had no clue what to do?

My body was now smudging against his bare chest feeling the warmth of his body. "So You can kiss me when I am asleep and not let me touch you when I am awake. Don't you think its unfair?" He chortled and I nuzzled my face in his chest trying to hide the embarrassment on my face.

"Why do you do that woman?" His muscles weren't tensed this time.

"I don't know what you are talking about." My voice was a little mushed. I didn't want to look at him. His breath was uneven. His fingers were drawing circles around my waist. I felt goosebumps on my entire body.

"Do you want me to demonstrate it then?" I could hear him chuckle and my heart beat escalated faster than I could think of. Damn! What do I do now?
