Dont blame me for the late update...blame aneeytah 😤
EID MUBARAK ANYWAYS.
Omar 's POV
I strapped in the belt around my chest,starting the Car immediately Othman got in it seconds later,i pulled out of the drive way were i had parked."What happened?" I asked him keeping my eyes on the road and my left hand on the wheels. "You won't believe this,Zahra and Mrs Zainab were so foolish to talk about there next plan in front of Haneefah."
"Woah, Wooah slow the fuddge down, Mrs Zainab? Marynn's doctor? And Haneefah? Your brothers wife?" I turned to him and i met him nodding. "Apparently, The doctor was the one supplying the drugs to Zahra, You know when we left Haneefah stayed with her before she wakes up, Then she over heard them." Wow! This is astonishing.
"I want to talk to my dad about the divorce,i already told Haneefah to narrate everything to him.." he placed his phone on his ear ringing his Father.
This was the second time my phone rang showing 'Fateemah's' name on my screen i was driving so i couldn't pick but the third ring came in when we stopped at a traffic light that was still counting down from 108 seconds.
"Hello" i answered smiling like a Cheshire cat "Omar? How is Marynn?" She asked in a worried tone. "She's fine,We are on our way back home." I informed her checking the number on the trafficlight and it was finally on 67seconds left.
"Oh wow, she agreed to come back?" I shook my head asif she was right infront of me,I actually miss seeing her beautiful face and that gorgeous smile "Helloo? Omar?" I was day dreaming again, I looked at the lights and it was still counting down from 35 seconds.
"Oh sorry,Othman was saying something." I turned to a confused Othman who furrow his eyebrows. "Er we would have come with her but its best we dont,I will explain better when we get back home." After Othman narrated what Haneefah said i completely agreed with Marynn' s staying and it's probably the best thing since she has a child with her.
"Ohkay then, have a safe drive."
"I can't wait to see you, I've missed you." She chuckled through the phone."You better stop lying and get home." She hung up before i could reply her.
I could imagine the smile that currently on her face, God i love her grin "New catch?" Othman throaty voice interrupted my little day dream. "Oh its Fatima Marynn's friend." He raised his eyebrows playfully at me "So you like her ay?" I turned to the road maintaining a straight face."Don't distract the driver." I spoke not looking at his side because he would make me have another full grin which i had saved for Fatima. "Fine i will drive,You drove whilst we came i suggest i drive back." I shook my head "I'm a better driver than you are but if you say so." I smirked at him anyway i would have said no but it was just an hour drive left but with Othman behind the wheels it would become 30mins, I looked for a place to park at the road side.
I found one and we both stepped out and exchanged seats i strapped my seat belt as i sat, i dont know why seatbelt is always the first thing i do when i get inside a car, only at the front tho, i dont strap sh#t if i seat at the back.
"So we didnt talk about Marynn,Does she know about this new prove." I opened the dash bored and got the popcorn i kept in there since Monday, I will still eat it because it looked some what new.
"I wrote her a text about it,explaining everything, And i didn't want her to come back until the divorce has been finished with,But i didn't tell her the second part, I want when she finally comes back home, She feels the same way she felt before coming home to no Zahra." I nodded in agreement so it would be some what a surprise for her. The car was silent again.
"But would you ever get married again." I asked him making a mischievous smile.
The thunder was like a gunshot to my ears when i turned to the window i noticed the small droplets of rain.
"Anything Marynn doesn't want. Is not going to happen from. now in Shaa Allah ." I'm sure she would love to hear that. "Ayy, Some one is in love." I smirked and he let out a short thoarty chuckle "I have always being, I'm just impassive ." More like Cold hearted.
"Me?" Darn it i said that too loud. "Im not cold hearted?" He laughed at me and i gave him a dirty look."I can teach you just stop hiding your emotions. The only emotion i know you never hide is your Anger." He frowned his eyebrows but i continued anyway taking my last handful of popcorn "Step two.. you have to admit i was taller than you in ninth grade." He had a full laugh now,obviously memories coming back to his head.
I take another hand full before specking "You have never been taller than me. Short stuff." Ohh! what a prick how did he...shoot..i hated that nickname in junior high, How does he still remember. "No, Short stuff here. Please." He laughed apparently we have been some what the same height since college so im no short stuff anymore. "Fine Im sorry, but you will always be short stuff to me." I can't believe he just said sorry.
He turned to me smiling showing his perfect white set of teeth before he turned to the road i screamed "OTHMAN!" Before he could find out why i screamed his name a huge truck rammed into her his side. I couldn't tell what was happening but we rolled over several times making me hit my head several times on the hard dashboard,breaking glasses and inflating the safety bag.
When the car stopped spining i opened my eyes and i was dangling only my seat belt held me from the upside down car. There was this non stop stinging pain on my shoulder i tried reaching to touch were the pain was but i only squinched from the pain,The engine smell of coolant from the broken radiator And the air-bag propellant a burnt-chemical smell. There was also a smell of gasoline. Which means there could be fire any moment, everywere was silent like a piercing sound in your ear except for the sound of rain outside. But all of a sudden Everything becomes still and quiet right after the impact.
I turned slowly turning my head to Othman's side it was hard because i could still feel the glass that got stuck in my neck. i couldnt tell if he was even in the car from the darkness that surrounded us I can't feel my leg or even my arm. The man who hit us was he still alive aswell and wants a revenge?
Why does it seem so dark?
"Othman?,Are you alright?" I asked him but the only answer i got back was slience i used my left hand and unplugged my seat belt and gravity did its job by dropping me straight on my face meeting the hard floor making my forehead make contact with the cement ground i felt something drip from my forehead but i couldn't even tell where it's coming from. It was like i was in a completely different place. A place where i didn't want to be.
I got out as fast as i could using my hands as the smell of gasoline trippled. I was finally able to feel my legs i walked to Othman's side limping all the way and almost falling on my knees,Clutching my right shoulder i felt my broken collar bone sticking out and poking my skin from the inside. Othman's window was scattered into many pieces when i looked at the door on the floor. I knelt down looking inside for him his door wasn't attached to the car anymore so maybe he might have flown out from the impact.
I felt his dangling body on the seat whilst the seat belt held him. I felt a hand on my shoulder and i turned i see two men in the paramedics uniform i stepped aside and they helped Othman out of the car strapping him on a bed whilst they wheeled him into there car. I didn't recognize him he was covered in blood my heart was beating so far like i just finished doing a ten mile run. Another man supported me as he came forth with a wheel chair and i sat on it. I also got wheeled to car. I looked for my phone in my pockets but i found nothing.
I looked to Othman's lifeless body as the paramedics tore his shirt open checking and examining him. "Is he alive?" I asked them and one one them nodded, the other one reached for his trousers and pulled his phone out from it before passing it to me. I quickly unlocked it he didnt have any password so i accessed it easily the screen was broken but you could still use it. I dailed Hassan's number first and informed him,and he said he would meet us as the hospital they were taking us.
I dailed Marynn' s number and she picked at the third ring.
I didn't know how to start telling her,I didn't even want to tell her but hassan told me to "Is this the part where you tell me there would be no driver coming to pick me, If yes then trust me you don't have too i already saw it coming." She spoke almost out of breath in an annoyed tone. A woman came to my shoulders and touched the collar bone that sticked out, Making me hiss in pain.
The room suddenly made me dizzy and i wanted to throw up when i saw one of them putting a knife on Othman stomach and tearing it open "Hello? Marynn..it's Omar, sorry i didnt mean to hiss at you, Othman and i just got into an accident and i wanted to inform you."
i heard her mumble a soft 'Oh My God ' "if its possible.." She cut me before i could speck again. "Please Give Othman the phone ...please where is he? Are you alright? Can i talk to him?" she added with questions , i looked to othman who had an oxygen tank placed over his nose to help him breath."I dont think Othman can talk right now." It's just hard to believe what just happened.It just doesn't register, but it's happening. I still think i must have had a nap whilst seating on the passengers seat. I just want to wake up from this awful nightmare.

I was in a completely different place blue walls light sheets and a heavy smell of disinfectant"Broken collar bone two fractured ribs,they made a quick surgery on your broken parts good thing for the Anaesthesia it helps with the pain, Did you take the aspirin given to also help you." Fatima spoke to me and i nodded to the questions she asked. I looked down and i noticed my shirt has been changed which covered my bandaged stomach
"How many hours have i been out." She looked around probably calculating "er..15-20 hours."i raised my brows in disbelief "Do you remember anything that happend?" I didn't forget a thing im just trying to take things slow, i nodded to her and she gave me a light smile. "Well i asked because the doctor said something about you guys having a little amnesia." What if Othman gets amnesia and forgets about Marynn i hope if he forgets anyone it would be Zahra. "How is Othman, What about him? Is he fine? Does he have blackouts ? Where is he?." She smiled again "We can go to his room its just the next door." I followed her because i only had problems with my upper part i had no surgery on my lower part even though as i took a step i began feeling pains on my thighs but i blame muscle pull.
Fatima pulled out a wheel chair and i sat down on it,she wheeled me to Othman's room which was the door after mine,we entered the room and everyone turned to us just Marynn who sat beside Othman holding his hand also the man who we met at her Aunty's house and my other cousin Hassan Othman's brother. Her eyes were blood shot red and the only thing making a sound in the gloomy road was the sound from the beeping monitor.
"Omar." I heard someone mumble from behind me. I turned to meeting Fatima 's beautiful eyes "I forgot to mention when Mr McKinney heard about the accident..he had..er..he didn't take it well and now...now he has a heart attack he is in the room opposite this one." Ya Salam what day is this what kind of a sad day is this i looked back at Othman he was smiling not hours ago to me and now he was fighting for his life on a bed.
My eyes got teary from sight and i whipped them before anyone could see me. I wheeled my self to Marynn who looked like she has been crying blood.
"Marynn." i mumbled to her, She sniffed rubbing her nose "How are you?" She asked me in a sore throat voice . "Alhamdulilah. Marynn he would be fine In Shaa Allah." She nodded mumbling 'In Shaa Allah' "Abdullah?" I asked because Zahra just came to my head "He is with Mrs McKinney." She mumbled. I looked at Othman who looked almost lifeless "They said he broke a rib,his femur was fractured, his left Humerus was broken as well and his-" She busted into tears whipping Her tears with the hand that wasn't holding onto Othman. The pain must have been too much for her to bear.It was obvious she had a hard time with facing reality and so was everyone in the room.
I stepped back while Fatima kept on calming her tears down. I wheeled my self out of the room with the help of Hassan pushing my wheel chair, i mumbled a 'Thank you' to him and he nodded i have never thought that one day I Omar would be on a wheel chair because i couldn't work properly, i had no phone, so much pain fr so many places on my body when though my body had a whole lot of pain killers. I cam only imagine what Othman is going through.
I turned the door handle and Hassan wheeled me into my uncle's "Omar" Zahira came from were she stood to my side. "How are you,How are you feeling?" She asked letting go and i examined the room everywere one was gloomy except for Ali, Abubakar and Abdullah who was in Ali's hands. I greeted Mrs McKinney still wondering where Zahra was,where could she be really?
I got wheeled out of the room by hassan and Zahira followed "What actually happened?" Hassan asked and i let out a sighed and the memories flow back"A truck hit us..the truck hit Othman's side." Zahira's eyes became teary all of a sudden "Who was driving?" Zahira asked this time.
I wish i never gave him thr wheels i wish i was the one driving my car. I wish so many things.. "He was." I lowered my eyes from them "They said he might not make it, he broke two ribs and one of them punchuged his lungs so he is finding it very hard to breath." Hassan tapped her shoulders trying to consoul her "He will be Fine In-" i started then immediately his room door slammed open showing a worried Fatima. "He..he is not breathing." She didn't wait but ran to a nurse who stood on hallway.
I didn't know where energy came from i stood with my two legs and entered the room i couldn't careless of the pain i felt i entered and the sound i continuously heard was the nonstop beep from life support.
'Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep'
The nurses rushed in checking his pulse but there was nothing they could do.
Othman was gone.
