Heartless Love

Chapter 14

BILAL-

I'm in the middle of a very important meeting. Apparently, my enemy is planning something against my team and we are trying to figure it out. We don't know if we even have enough time before we figure out if he's done something or not

This thing is stressing me out. I can't have them hurt anyone on my side.

Not anymore at least.

I've already lost lots of important people on my side

And I'm not letting that happen again...

I hear 2 light knocks on the door, "come in" I say. Zahra shyly opens the door, not wanting to disturb us, "Bilal... I can I tell you something" she asks mumbling her words. "Can't it wait" I reply not looking at her

"No... It's important"

"Zahra... I don't have time for this, I'm in the middle of a really important meeting, it'll end soon can't we talk then? "

"But-" I cut her off, "Zahra please, not n-"
I hear a thud. I turn to look at the direction of the sound and it was Zahra laying unconscious on the floor

"SHIT" I yell dashing towards her. I kneel down and gently pat her cheeks repeatedly, trying to wake her up, while the members of my team are all just staring at Zahra and I wide-eyed.

"Zahra wake up"

Nothing

"Zahra please ...wake up"

Nothing again

"Shit shit shit..." I whisper "please wake up, love... please"

Still nothing

What have I done

I could've simply asked her what's wrong, and this wouldn't have happened.

What. Have. I. Done

I'm such a horrible person

I'm trying to find whatever way to wake her up hoping that she will, but nothing

"Z...I'm sorry for not listening to you....please please wake up, darling"

Nothing again

"Yunus, get everyone out of the room. I'm postponing the meeting... but for now I need everyone out, including you" Yunus, my most trusted assistant, and practically my best friend, does as I say and orders everyone to get out.

I call him "practically" my best friend because he's always mocking me about my kindness towards Zahra.

Although he's not wrong...I rarely, and I mean rarely, find anyone to be kind to.

I carry Zahra and place her on a small couch that was in the meeting room and put a cushion under her head so it won't hurt.

I noticed her hijab was still on because of the men who were here, so I carefully removed it.
No one was here other than me anyway...

I place two of my fingers on the left side of her neck checking her pulse, and thank God she's still alive, but why did she go unconscious?

What should I do?

Wait?

Yeah. ..I'll do that

I just have to keep track of time to know if it's been more than 1-2 minutes so I have to call an ambulance

A minute has passed and I'm constantly looking at my watch, then back at her, then at my watch, then at her, and so on...

Okay... Should I call an ambulance?
