KHAIRS POV

I was asleep next to aunty kamila when I felt someone grab my hand in a torturing manner.

"Subhanalah" I exclaimed silently in other not to wake aunty kamila.

"Aaron" I said silently, he pulled me to the parking lot where he banged me against a car and I could feel pain which meant that I might be wounded. He told me all sort of things that I couldn't even imagine of doing, his last statement made me shock.

'how could he say that to me' I thought as I fell to the ground and suddenly it began to rain, it was a very heavy rain but I sat there on the floor crying like I've never done before.

"Hajiya you'll get sick" a ward boy from the hospital spoke to me but I ignored him because being wet in the rain is nothing compared to the pain I am feel right now.

"Hajiya" The man said again and I almost slapped him. what the fuck does he want!

"Leave me alone you fool, please I want to be alone. Don't you understand" I said and he walked away while muttering curses at me.

I cried my heart out and thank God it was raining, the rain washed away the sorrow and pain that came down from my eyes.

***

The sound of a car horn came in loudly, i opened my eyes to find myself on the floor laying in a puddle of muddy water.

"get up!" A man from inside the car was just screaming at me.

"Sorry sir" I said standing up, I wiped my wet cloths and tied my hair properly before leaving for aunty kamilas room.

On getting there I saw that aunty kamila and my mum were awake , they were just laughing and conversing, they looked so happy.

"Asalamualaikum"I  said the moment I walked in.

"Walaikisalam Khair, why are you wet and dirty" my mum said immediately I walked into the room.

"Mum where's Aaron?" I said, I needed to change the topic.

"I'm here "he said making me turn to where he was .

"Ummie how's your health today?" He asked with his eyes glued on that of his mum's.

"I am okay " she said, she was staring at me as though she saw my inner pain. She knew I was sad.

"Aaron take her home please, she's wet she needs to change her cloth"  his mum said and he nodded.

"Alright, Let's go! "He said and I nodded and followed him. aunty kamila threw me a beautiful smile that said, it'll all be fine.

The drive to aunty kamila's house was a long one but finally we arrived there and he and I got down and went straight into the house, but it was empty. Which meant the maids had gone to their homes on aunty kamilas order,  I guess.

"Go and change into your cloth" he said bringing me out of my thought.

"Uhm...m.. I didn't bring my cloth"  I said with my eyes glued to my shaky feets,.

"Wear mums cloth then, am probably sure there's one that will size you" he said without Sparing me a second glance.

"OK" i said before walking to aunty kamilas room which was locked, so I decided going to Aaron's room in other to ask if he had the keys.

"Asalamualaikum" i said in a whisper.

"Open" he yelled and I walked in only to find him wearing a boxer and singlet.

"Subhanalah" I exclaimed and immediately covered my eyes with my Palms.

"You fool, what do you want ?" He snapped at me.

"I have no cloth to wear, mummy's room is locked" my voice sounded Foreign to my ears.

"Okay, go into my closet and check if there's any clothe that'll suit you"he said as he wore his sweat pant and a black tee shirt.

I nodded walked into his closet and the only cloth I could find were sweat pants and some plain shirts. So I just decided on wearing his purple sweat pant and his plain black tee shirt .

"Khair be fast please " Aaron yelled and I nervously began undressing . I was only on my panties and my bra, God I just hope he doesn't come inn.

"Kai ... Dan Allah be fast mana we're getting late" he said and suddenly the door came open. and I was only wearing a shirt which was just covering my back but my knee and lap were exposed to his burning gaze.

"Sorry I thought you didn't know what to wear" he apologized sincerely while staring at the ground.

"No!"I said while using a trouser to cover my bare laps.

"Well kiyi Sauri muje (be fast let's go)"  he said and he turned arround and existed.

Immediately i wore the sweat pant I made way out and he was staring at me for the first time not with anger but with hope.

"I'm ready!" I said.

"Oh, but first you have to cover your hair" He said while walking over to me with a black knitted cap.

"Take, wear this" he passed the cap over to me.

"Okay" I said.

We decided to walk to the door but we were met with a closed door. We tried pushing but it all went to no avail.

"Who locked us in?"Aaron while trying to open the door.

We went to the back door but it was also closed, we tried making a call but I didn't go through. There was no network.

We tried all we could do but it all went to know avail so we just decided to sit in the livingroom.

The room was a hot one, we both sat fiddling with our cell phone in our hands. I didn't know what to do, I felt extremely nervous.

"Why did you call my mum?"Aaron asked, breaking the silence.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what was wrong with me" I said in a whisper, I knew I was in tears.

"Khair!" He said while walking to where I sat, He grabbed my hand and I let out a yelp because I was hurt. My hand was wounded.

"What happened?" He asked while gently rolling up my sleeves.

"Oh my God, you're injured " he said. He walked over to where the first aid box was popularly kept in the house.

"Did I do this to you?" He asked while wrapping my hand gently.

"Uhm... N...no..no " I stammered, I was a bad lier.

"I  am sorry "he said while looking up to my face. "I  know I've hurt you allot but please don't blame me, I was angry at that time" he said, I couldn't control my tears which were falling badly.

"Don't cry please, I'm sorry for all what I did. I'm not that bad" he said while throwing me a Charming wink.

"Sorry"  I said while leaanig on his chest. and for the first time he held me tight and wiped my tears.

"Don't worry, it'll all be fine inshaAllah" he said and all I did was to nod and nutter and Ameen.
