33. A little break
Ikhlas POV.
Life went on with my best friend acting like my enemy. Despite the demands of life, I felt a deep rooted content with my circumstances and the people I surrounded myself with. The familiar sense of insufficiency sunk in, forcing me to feel more insignificant than ever.
Our husband is coming back home today and am more than excited. Maybe all these will phase out when he resolves it. I just can't wait to be back on track with Hannefah again. It's been two damn weeks since Haneefah declared me her enemy.
I don't know if you understand what i mean but it's just so hard... Like so damn hard.
I wake up everyday hoping that her anger will dissipate, she'll be relieved of her pain, her emptiness will fill but No, everything comes pouring back immediately she sets her eyes on me.

IKHLAS POV. I sat by the window staring at the dark evening skies, the angry clouds looked like it was going to pour out vengeance any moment. It's been almost two months now since Yaya left for New York. We do chat, call and FaceTime whenever he is less busy. The cloudy sky immediately started to send down heavy droplets which hits the roof before cascading down. The rain was heavily pouring as if the skies were at war with Earth. I wonder how Abass and Fawaz are, I miss those kids. They'll be seventeen tomorrow so I think it High time I stopped calling them kids. I munched on the last piece of grapefruit I had and moved down to my bed. Sleeping is the sweetest part of rainy weather. I missed the sweet scent the earth gives off after the first few rains.

I'll go there myself and talk to her" she said. "I don't want to be this vulnerable. I want to be the strong Ikhlas I used to be." I sobbed harder as she put an arm around me.

Haneefah POV. "Ohh yeah it's not true, sorry I made a mistake. I just remembered that you don't need a wizard cause you are a witch yourself" I spat back, my voice laced with so much venom. I could sense the hurt and anger in her. Why would she be hurt when she was the causative agent of all of this? This is what she wanted and I see no wrong in giving her to her fill. Even though I feel bad whenever I hurt her, it doesn't change the fact that I hate her for trying to ruin me."Assalamualaikum" I heard. I turned my head and my eyes met Ummah's, and my stomach immediately churn in fear. Ummah doesn't come to my house unless it's something very important. She always have me come over.

Haneefah POV. If you've never experience a deafening silence you're lucky. It could drive a person mad within few minutes. Everything was still, only the beeping sound of the heart monitor. Every slight movement could be heard and I felt like I was hearing my own thoughts. Trying to focus on one thing was hard as we all patiently waited for Ikhlas to wake up. It was eerie. Her eyes steered open slowly, carefully adjusting to the light that illuminated the hospital room. Everyone rushed Happily to her side as she held her head in pain. The doctor hurriedly came in and examined her before asking her some questions which she groggily answered. The next second, her eyes shot open and she looked at the doctor in sheer horror. "My baby doctor...... How is my baby" she said, almost screaming. " Your baby is fine Hajiya" you only broke

My appetite had dwindled, making the exhaustion even worse but I wasn't hungry.Maybe this wouldn't have gotten this bad if I was a little bit more patient, if I was a bit more understanding.

IKHLAS POV. I woke up the next morning to find a marker on my bed, I wonder how it got here. I helped myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom to perform Ablution for Subh prayer. I was about washing my other arm when I noticed something scribbled on my cast with black marker. Guess that was exactly the reason why the marker was on my bed in the first place. It says " Get well soon peaches" with a smiley face drawn on it. I was confused. Haneef also calls me peaches but the calligraphy was Haneefah's and she had no reason to come to my room talkless of writing on my cast. I stared down at it and I found myself swooning at the calligraphy. Although there was no denying the fact that she was different. I witnessed it in the hospital.
