Chapter Sixteen

~~~Beginning of Nightmare~~~~

Layla was trapped between these two men. One was old enough to be her father. Another was fit enough to be her elder brother.

"Submit or we're going to force you!" The elder man spat at her.

"Never!!" She spat back, earning her a heavy slap across her cheek from the younger man.

The elder man had a leather belt in his hand. He whipped her very hard with the belt, leaving a deep scar on her back thigh.

"Ahhhhhh! Leave me alone!!" Layla screamed out of pain.

"Strip or else, we are going to rape you right now!" The younger boy Sidiq threatened.

Her own uncle and cousin, were trying to rape her.

"Leave me alone. Please. Don't come closer" she pleaded. They walked towards her wickedly as they tried to hold her down to rape her.

"No!!!!! Mom!!!!! Help!!!!! No!!!!" She screamed her lungs out. Her voice box hurt as she screamed.

~~~~End of Nightmare~~~~

"Baby? Baby?" The voice of her saviour called as he tapped her.

She opened her eyes and found herself in the corner of the room screaming and crying whilst sleeping.

"Mikail! D-Don't l-let t-them t-touch me. P-Please " she pleaded as tears flow down her ears.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her on the head.

"I'm here baby. Don't cry anymore. I'm here" he console her.

"S-Sidiq and h-his f-father, t-they w-want to r-rape me." She stuttered as she held onto his shirt tightly.

She begun hallucinating them in their room sauntering towards her.

"No! They're here! Mikail! L-Look t-they're there! T-They're c-coming! M-Miikail! H-Help me! T-They w-want to r-rape m-me!"

Mikail, didn't know what to do. He knew that she was hallucinating.He also knew that she was bipolar. She needed to see a psychiatrist.

"Baby, I'm here. They won't harm you. They're not real. " he tried time without number to stop her from freaking out.

She suddenly got up and tore off her hair cap and took off the silk long robe she used to cover her nightgown.

Her legs and arms were in full show. Mikail had to control his urges. She threw one of her shoes towards the window, obviously breaking it.

The desktop didn't go scotfree. She threw it to wards the door.

Mikail marvelled at the strength she had. He knew it was one of the characteristics of being bipolar. She soon begin throwing things around, while screaming

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!"

Mikail had to act fast before she hurt herself. He rushed to the bathroom and searched through the cabinet. He found a sedative.

He quickly called Ali and Ali called the rest of the boys.

"Ali?! Come over. The doll has become a wild lioness. She's destroying the whole bedroom" he said in a panicking tone.

"What The Fuck?! I'll be right there with the boys " Ali answered quickly before hanging up

Mikail was smart enough to pounce on Layla and inject her with the sedative, before she calmed down and went to sleep.

The whole house went silent after that. She had created a great mess, but that didn't bother Mikail like how her arm was bleeding.

He picked her up quickly, while Mrs. Feyrouzah who looked terrified when she saw Layla's state, cleaned her wound up.

The Boys arrived on time to meet Layla being transported into Mikail's Rolls Royce car.

"Let's get her to my hospital. I'll stitch her up and transfer her to a psychiatrist I know " Ali the surgeon offered.

Mikail nodded as they all sped off to Ali's hospital at 4 a.m. in the morning. There was no traffic jam so within 10 minutes, they got to the hospital.

The gatemen, a few nurses and doctors  and a few janitors were around. Mikail carried Layla to the operation theatre. The wound on her arm was very deep.

The glass from the window had pierced very deep and almost cut through one of her veins.

"You have to wait outside Sir" a nurse led Mikail out of the operating theatre. He was confused. Mrs. Feyrouzah had called the Sheikh family and they were in the hospital in a jiffy.

"What happened to our daughter?" His uncle Rabiu asked.

"She had a nightmare and begun hallucinating things. She started throwing things around like she had gone insane and she got wounded. " Jamil answered instead of Mikail. Mikail was too terrified to speak.

Munaiya and her mother begun crying, that alone added to Mikail's fear. He didn't want to lose her.

It had been almost 3 hours since they got here and Layla was sent to the operating room.

Mikail couldn't think straight. He was scared of losing her.

كل نفس ذائقة الموت

"Every soul shall taste death"

Everyone turned to the direction of the voice and saw Layla with her arm in bandages. Her eyes were bloody red. She had been crying. The nurses were rushing to her side.

"Ms. Layla, you should be in bed. You are not strong enough. You've lost a lot of blood" the nurse tried to persuade Layla to go back to the ward.

Layla stared at Mikail as he stared back at her. They continued to stare at each other for a long while before she said fraily

"Death seems more inviting than life "

Mikail rushed to her and hugged her tightly

"Please don't say that baby. You can't leave me. I need you please. I love you " he didn't mind the shocked looks on the faces of his family. He just wanted his woman to stay with him

"We'll all go someday. Very soon Mikail, you're not going to see me anymore. Because I'll be 6 feet under. I want you to be happy, even after I'm gone. Promise me " she said as she cried softly into his chest.

'Baby please don't do this " he cried softly.

She looked him in the eye and saw his tears. She quickly cleaned up her face and consoled him

"Please don't cry Jammy. It hurts. Please" she never liked to see him cry.

The onlookers stared at them lovingly yet pitiful of what they were going through.

"It's obvious they're in love" Memuna;Mikail's mother whispered to her brother Uncle Rabiu sadly with tears in her eyes.

He nodded as they all stared at how Mikail carried Layla back to her ward.

"Please forgive me for everything that I've done to you. I need you baby, I really do" Mikail pleaded.

She smiled and for the first time ever, she gave him a kiss on his lips.

Words can not describe the joy that shone in Mikail's eyes. All the lights of heaven shone lucidly in his eyes. He couldn't help but kiss her passionately back.

A nurse suddenly walked into the ward.

Mikail smirked and exclaimed

"Good timing. We were just expecting you!"

He was very happy because his love had shown him one act of her reciprocal love for him.He got up to leave, but not without giving her a peck.

"Is that your boyfriend Miss?" the nice nurse asked.

"Not necessarily" Layla answered

"Tell her the truth will ya?" Mikail said as he poked his head back into the ward after leaving.

The nurse and Layla giggled.

"He's my husband" Layla said.

"That's better." Once again Mikail poked his head into the ward and said again.

The women both laughed out loud. The nurse checked her vitals and gave her, her drugs.

Layla seemed go be healing, until she saw it again.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!" Her scream echoed through the whole hospital, making everyone rush into her ward. Layla had a broken voice box, so that scream was way too wild to be normal.

When they all arrived in her ward, she was trembling tremendously and was sweating profusely. She was on the floor with blood coming out of her mouth. The intensity of her scream was so much that her inners begun bleeding.

"Muhabun! Baby! Baby what's wrong?!" Mikail carried her in his arms while panicking. She looked at him with petrified eyes and hit him at all sides to let her go.

"Get your hands off me you Paedophile!! Leave me alone man whore. Leave me alone you clown. Bitch! Pervert! Rapist!" She abused him with every insult that crossed her mind.

No one had ever seen her that aggressive. Then something hit Mikail. He remembered something about her writing that she was an aggresive child.

Before her could think of what to do, the lioness had manoeuvres out of his grip and picked up a lancet( an extremely sharp knife used by doctors during surgeries) and stabbed him right near the heart drawing a whole lot of blood.

Everyone was shocked out of their wits, including Ali, the surgeon who just arrived at the scene.

Mikail smiled at her as she realised what she had done. She was in tears as she saw the love of her life feeling weak and slowly feeling faint.

"Bleeding for Love" Mikail said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Please don't leave me Jammy. I beg you. I need you. Jammy! I'm sorry. Please." She wept as he fell onto the ground, but she was fast enough to save him by taking the fall.

Mikail fell on her as the family members now returned from their shock and begun screaming for the nurses.

Munaiya was crying her heart out as Layla was holding Mikail's head near her chest crying.

"Please don't leave me" she begged him as the lancet was taken out of him slowly and he was carried onto her ward bed.

Layla felt like dying after she saw how Mikail was bleeding and it was all her fault.

She suddenly run out of the hospital with her arm in bandages. She was surprisingly too fast for everyone to comprehend. She never stopped until she reached their home

She got to their home and rushed to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife. She run like a psychopath back to the hospital. She was not in her right state of mind.

Everyone backed away from her. She saw fear in her eyes. She detested herself for that. When she stomped into the ward where Mikail was being treated, she saw that he was alright, but she didn't like the nurse that was standing beside him. It made her jealous.

"Layla stop!" Munaiya screamed.

"Layla calm down!" Mikail who had a bandage around his whole chest tried to calm her down but she glared at him.

She smiled at the nurse wickedly and walked towards her.

The boys tried to pull her away from hurting herself and someone else.

"Get away from my husband Bitch!" She won't at the nurse with an evil voice. Her eyes were red as scarlet. The nurse was frightened and tried to runoff but Layla caught up with her.

The whole family were soon running helterskelter all over the hospital trying to pin her down.Including the injured man Mikail.

Before Layla could harm the nurse, she felt a very sharp prick on her neck. It was a sedative. The last thing she said was

"M-Mikail, it h-hurts"

Mikail swept her off the ground, even in his wounded state.

"Stay with me girl!" He said.

But all she heard was silence.

Bleeding for you is small. I can die for you my love.
