"What do you mean it was your doing?" Eugene stood up.Daniel shuffled his feet as he felt Saira's hand leave his. "I... I'm sorry." He apologized. "I was angry because he was going after Saira so I... I had someone hack the onboard system of his car. His brake failed and..." He had more to say but a resounding slap landed on his cheek which made him stumble on his feet."You tried to kill your brother because of a girl?!" Eugene roared. "A girl!"Eileen couldn't believe her ears and she slowly moved backwards until she slumped down onto the recliners in shock. If anyone had told her that the boy she'd welcomed into her home with open arms would be the one to take away her pride and joy - she'd have called that person a blatant liar but now she'd heard it with her own ears."I'm sorry." Daniel apologized tearfully. "I only wanted to hurt him..."Eugene slapped him again. "Shut up!" He ordered. "Nothing you say will justify what you've done!"Eileen clutched the edge of the recliner sh

Saira trudged up the stairs to her hostel room feeling very exhausted. Her relationship with Ethan had caused Daniel to become a criminal overnight and Ethan... thankfully was still holding on.He'd flatlined but the doctors were able to bring him back so she was hoping that God had heard her prayers and was planning to wake him up soon because she wasn't sure what she'd do if he died.She unlocked the door, went in and closed it gently then crossed the latch and locked it back again. She leaned her forehead against the door as tears pooled in her eyes and she sniffled. She'd turned to a cry baby now which surprised her because she'd expected the well of tears to have dried up."Saira." Anne called. "Are you okay? Is Ethan okay?"Saira wiped her tears and turned to look at Anne who was sitting up in bed dressed in pink pajamas. "He's fine. He's in a coma but he's fine.""Anyone who is in a coma is anything but fine." Anne informed her. "It's like saying they're alive but dead.""He i

"Why did you let her leave?!" Darina yelled at Anne. "Just one simple thing I asked you to do but you failed!""I didn't know when she left and even if I did, what would I have done to make her stay?" Anne retorted.Darina grunted in frustration. If you wanted to get a job done and done well, you had to do it yourself."She's coming back this afternoon. You'll see her then." Anne told her."I hope for your sake that she doesn't change her mind Anne or else what I did to your cousin will be like a caress compared to what I'll do to you." Darina threatened her."There's no need for threats." Anne snapped. Darina huffed and stormed out of their room slamming the door hard behind her."Nut job." Anne hissed. "Get rid of Saira for me and when you go to jail... Ethan will be mine. All mine." She grinned evilly.~~~~Saira hesitated outside of the door of the ICU as her hand rested on the door handle. She'd promised God she'd stay away from him but it wouldn't hurt to see him just this once

Two weeks later"Good morning sir." Two men in black suit walked into the hall and greeted Professor Matthias."Morning. How may I help you?" Prof Matthias looked them over wondering who they were and who they worked for. "We're looking for Saira Anderson sir." One of the men replied. "We were told she's in this lecture hall.""Why are you looking for her? Is she in trouble?" Matthias inquired. They could be government agents for all he knew."No, sir. Mrs Delnoi sent us to get her and bring her to the hospital right away." "Okay but hope no problem?" "Everything's fine sir.""Saira!" Matthias called. "You're free to go."Saira gathered her books into her bag, zipped it up and walked down the aisle to meet the men."Hello Jackson, Jonas." She greeted the two men with a smile."Hello." They smiled back at her. "Shall we?""Sure." She nodded and walked ahead."Have a nice day." Matthias called after her."Why does Mrs Delnoi want to see me?" Saira asked in the car, on their way to th

Eileen looked everywhere else but at Ethan. She was scared to tell him about Daniel's involvement in his accident for fear of him suffering another cardiac arrest so she told him a little white lie."Eugene?Oh! There was a situation that needed his attention so he had to travel." She said. "It'd take him about... two months or so." She shrugged."Okay." Ethan said."Why do you ask? You don't like him remember?" She teased."I still don't, but he's like your shadow so I was wondering why he isn't here." Ethan replied. "How long have I been asleep?""Two weeks and two days." She answered. "You don't know how happy I am that you are awake baby. I was going out of my mind with worry.""When can I see Saira Mom?" Ethan asked."Ethan..." She sighed."You promised." He reminded her through gritted teeth. "You can't take it back.""She's... someone's girlfriend Ethan." Eileen said. "What's so special about her?""Everything Mom. If I can't be with her then I don't think I want to live anymore
HIS AND HERS Chapter Thirty One
The next daySaira was in her room in the hostel reading when a knock sounded on her door. She'd been wondering where Anne was a while ago but decided not to bother herself since they weren't friends anymore. She got up from her bed and went to open the door and was surprised to see Eileen standing in front of her door."Mrs Delnoi? Um.... Please come in." She stepped aside for her to enter."Thank you." Eileen walked into the room and Saira closed the door."I'm really sorry about the furniture..." She made a face."Don't worry about it. I'll sit here." She pulled out the chair in front of her reading table and sat down."Can I get you anything ma'am?" She asked politely."I'm fine." Eileen smiled.Saira sat on the edge of her bed. "How's... Ethan ma'am?""He's fine. He woke up really cranky this morning because he didn't sleep well." Eileen told her. "He had a nightmare.""About what?" She asked."About you leaving him. Look Saira, I know you said you made a promise to God and all t

Ethan was silent for a long time as he stared at her hoping he'd not heard her correctly. She really didn't want to be with him?"Do you mean... No you can't be my girlfriend or No you can't marry me?" He inquired."Both." She answered somberly."Oh." He said. "Okay.""I'm sorry." She apologized.Ethan took a deep breath, held it for some seconds then let it out. He couldn't let her see how hurt he was. He guessed he should have listened to Anne when she told him that Saira was only playing with him."Karma is such a bitch." He chuckled dryly. "The player just got played.""I like you very much Ethan..." She started to say."Don't lie to yourself Saira." He cut her off harshly. "I'm sorry I came between you and Daniel. I won't... bother you anymore.""Ethan...""It'll be like before. You'll be a stranger to me and I'll be the same to you." He told her. "I can't stay where I'm not needed.""I...", She sighed."I want to be alone." He said and turned his face away from her.Tears pooled

"Anne." Saira breathed. "What are you... doing here?""Last time I checked, this was also my room but... not anymore and you know why?" Anne asked."You'll tell me." She said."Ethan not only told me to evacuate the room but also to transfer. Can you believe that?" She laughed shortly. "Because of you.""I doubt it was because of me. Darina claimed that you were working with her which was how she knew I was in school that day and tried to shoot me." Saira snapped. "Have I ever wronged you Anne?""You don't know?" Anne looked surprised."What?" She bit out."Surprise! I'm also in love with Ethan Delnoi!". She shot up from her seat. "I told him about my feelings for him but do you know what he told me? He said that not one of us compares to you."Saira was stunned. "He really said that?""He said and I quote; And like I always tell them... I'm saving my heart for the one I'm looking for. I'm sorry but there's no place for you in here." Anne cited. "When I asked him if you were better th
