Chapter 8

I've found ahmed laying on the floor 3la 6wl next to the door, with bruises and blood all over his face and body

"AHMED AHMED" my tears started to drawn like never before

the first thing i did is check if his heart still beating and it was the scariest seconds of my life.

when I was in high school i volunteered twice in first aid so i knew what i was doing el7amdellah

His heart was still beating THANK GOD. i threw water on his face immediately he didnt wake up, i knew their was something dangerous and wrong going on so 3la i called the ambulance. did somethings i learned like getting his legs up to make the blood flow w ketha.

The ambulance came, got him in the vehicle and ofcorse i got in with him, the nurses tried to calm me down but i didnt. I dont know whats happening to him or even what happened but the only thing i know is that hes alive el7amdellah! I spent all the time picturing what would've happened if ahmed left me, left his mom, friends and the whole world. 

Its been hours now, no news, nothing yet. it was unbearable so i decided to ask about him

"Hi i wanna ask about a patient in the ER"

"Whats his name?"

"Ahmed AlX"

"Okay one second please"

Okay great more seconds... and it turned out to minutes. minutes that felt like a hundred years.

"Oh yeah they're doing a surgery for him right now"

"WHAT SURGERY? NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT SURGERY? CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME GOING ON WITH HIM?" I talked really fast with deep sobbings, if she didnt understand what i said i dont blame her

"Are you his wife"

"Im his fiancee." It was the first time I say that. it felt really weird!

"Okay miss ahmed is great hes getting out from the surgery in 5 minutes you'll see him, he'll see you. there's nothing you should be worried about"

10 minutes later..

"Miss if you wanna check on him hes in room B38" 

I ran with joy mixed with sadness. joy that ahmed is alive and hes okay, sadness is that hes in pain.

I entered the room and ahmed was sleeping calmly.

I walked towards him trying not make any voice in every way, my steps, my sobbing and my prayers.

I kept staring at him for hours until he woke up.

"AHMED" I had a smile with puffy red eye from all the tears and a red nose from sobbing. I never looked like that in my whole life I haven't eaten in 7 hours tagreban bs I didnt even felt hungry.

my eyes met his and it felt like the first time we met.

"La.. lama" he stuttered.

and I can feel the pain in his voice

He moved his hands trying to hold my hands but he was very weak so I held his hands, i held it really strong and it was the first time ever ahmed hands and mine touch!! 

"What happened to you ahmed" moving my fingers along his 3 inches scar between his collarbone and neck.

"Its nothing" 

"Its nothing?" I cried out loud. "I saw you laying on the floor with blood, bruises and scars all over you I thought you were murdered for minutes! I was going crazy ah!" he didn't let me continue

"Hey Thank you for saving my life" and he kissed my hands

"you dont need to thank me! just tell me what happened"

"on my way back home, 3nd bab shgti b'6b6 w ana jay aft7 elbab jaw 3 maskouni w they started to hit me. I tried to defend myself bs I was one and they were 3, 3 held me and one kicked the shit out of me, w he had a knife against my skin were the scar is bs he didn't kill me he just blackmailed me"

"OH MY GOD" a heavy breathe came out. "b esh he blackmailed you?" my hands covered my mouth

"he stole my watch, wallet and phone hddni ma3lm the police"  he sighed in frustration 

"Do you remember how they look"

"I do and i got his keys out of his pocket bdoun may7s"

"We need to call the police! ma3ash men ysawi fek ketha"

"7beebti enty min jd esh aswi bdounk!"
