My Salvation (CURRENTLY EDITING)

Chapter 58

WHAT! Another update!? Well, think of it as my late eid present for Y'all. *smiles smugly*

Nawal's POV

They kept staring each other for I don't know how long, and it finally dawned on them that they are just staring and not talking. Aadil was the first to break the stare and I felt like he was having trouble to speak currently.

"Mom.." His voice is so low and almost afraid that the scene in front of him might not be real but he didn't show it on his face.

"Why the doctors or anybody didn't inform me about you waking up? That you...you are finally awake from your coma?"

His mother's face was emotionless now. I was quite surprised knowing he and his mother share the same expression. She was still silent, looking as if nothing bothered her. But then came the most heartbreaking expression I've ever witnessed.

"The day you visited me. I was sleeping when you came in and talked about...everything. I almost opened my eyes and wanted to let you know, but I didn't."

As if the news wasn't enough for Aadil, hearing those words couldn't stop the tears that were fighting for so long. I was feeling so helpless right now. I wanted to do something, anything to make him feel better. Before I could go and hold him, his mother stopped me.

"You must be Nawal, his wife." She gave me a small, sincere smile. "I'm Noora Sheikh, his mother, who unfortunately wasn't with him when he needed me the most."

I understood few things - first; that his mother was in a coma and second she didn't seem to inform Aadil about it. I'm pretty much clueless about the rest. And I guess it won't be clear now.

"But WHY! Am I not that worthy enough to know that my mother is totally fine? Wait, let me guess, you don't feel safe with me. Is that why Dad and Mohsin didn't call me once? Didn't asked or got to know if I'm even alive? I almost killed myself with this fear of you not ever waking up! Are you going to explain or just..."

Aadil was literally out of words. I feel like I shouldn't be here, knowing it's a personal matter. His mother's eyes were glistening with tears, but she held herself. Aadil slowly turned to me, and I didn't expect to see him locking himself behind those walls again, but he did.

"Nawal, go and wait in my car. I'll back in a while." He said sternly.

"But–"

"Please, just go." His voice cracked at 'please' and all I wanted to do was pull him closer and hold him. But I did what he asked me to and made my way out of the room. But before I closed the door, I heard Mrs Noora say 'Sarah was there to inform...'

                        

                               °♥°

It's been 1 hour, 15 minutes and 49 seconds. Aadil didn't come yet. Not that I was counting each second. Or maybe I was. But I'm feeling a bit scared for Aadil now. What happened in the past? Why was his family not in touch with him? Why was his mother here? And why did he said that they don't feel safe with him? My mind is about to burst with these many questions. I kept looking at the hospital door, waiting for Aadil to come any second.

I almost screamed seeing Aadil finally come out. Not waiting for him, I jumped out of the car and made my way, but I suddenly stopped. Aadil just stood there, on the middle of the road, god knows what he was thinking. But he didn't move an inch. As I was approaching him, a black tinted car was coming our way at full speed. Aadil still stood there, oblivious to the car coming. I was horrified. If he doesn't move, he can get injured, or worse, killed.
