Chapter Twenty

Time had elapsed. The sleeping beauty, continued to sleep. Her womb escape day had passed. Her lover was mortified. He had not taken a good night's slumber, since she had gone into a slight coma. She had left everyone saddened yet optimistic about her recovery. Her lover's birthday was here and he wanted to spend this day with her especially. He didn't celebrate birthdays but he wanted to dedicate his birthday to her and their future. But here lies her body, on the verge between life and death and only God was her Healer.

Mikail wished he could take this pain for her , but he couldn't. He had been by her side since she was home treated. He didn't want to evacuate her side. He had to be there for her during the remaining days of her life and marriage. He couldn't believe that it was only 4 months left for their contract to end and she would be departed from his life and could either choose to love someone else or do anything with her life. He felt thwarted because he didn't get her to confess she loved him back. He believed that she had some feeling for him but she was squabbling with her sentiments. He stared at the body of his lover.

She looked so at peace. He wasn't good for her. Such an entity like her didn't deserve such a devil like himself. She deserved better. A good person. A person who would give her everything. Love, Care, Reverence, Pleasure, and a sense of Security. He has all these but he was too dangerous. He could easily lose it and hurt her in a lethal way. He was a malignant man and didn't balk (hesitate) to hurt someone. He never wished or even imagined her getting hurt because of him. He wanted her to be happy always. He wanted to see her smile all the time, was that too much to ask for ?

"Hey bae, today's my 26th birthday. I wished you were awake to spend it with me. I miss you so much. I don't know if I can cope with this. It's very hard living without seeing your beautiful crystals. That angelic voice and that beautiful mesmerising smile. I miss them all. I miss you baby. I don't know if you feel it too. My soul suffocates without you around.

Dazed and burnt out. Tired and lonely. Silently suffering. In this wretched agony.Weakened from the core. I don't know what to do. As I count the stars, I'm thinking about you. Baby, I love you " that was the most powerful and touching words Mikail had ever spoken. And that, to , his lover.

He was oblivious of the presence of his family just starting at him and Munaiya recording this emotional moment on his phone from the door where they stood. They were touched by the words he spoke. His eyes were bloody red from dearth of sleep and shedding tears for his lover. Then a miracle happened. Her hand moved slightly against his hand. Her thumb slowly caressing his palm. A placid smile appearing on her face. Her lips parting slightly. Her eyes struggling to open. Her breathing becoming even. The whole family rushed to her bedside. Only then did Mikail realise that they had been there all along.

The sleeping angel's eyes opened slightly, revealing the first glance of immaculate blue eyes. The eyes of a tiny angel. She had a slight smirk plastered on her face. Her fingers brushed against her lovers palm drawing a little heart. He understood. He was beyond cheerful. He hugged his woman tightly. He had no control over his urge to kiss her. She giggled lightly. Her voice was a bit too dim. She gathered a little of her strength and hugged him back.

"I thought I lost you baby" he cried lightly into her chest. She patted him slowly as she smiled at the sky. She was grateful for the chance to see him and those she loves once more. Before anything, the weeping Munaiya hugged her boyfriend very tight, despite the fact that the family tried to pry her off her. She was very thankful that her bestfriend had made it.

"I missed you too " Layla whispered into the love of her life's ear. He dropped a tear of joy and kissed her on the cheek once more. One by One, the all hugged her. It was such an emotional moment. When it got to Ali's turn, he was the last. He had red eyes. It was obvious he hadn't slept for a while. She didn't hug him. She stared at him for a very long time, before smiling at him and shook her head meekly.

"I never knew that my brother would be so much overprotective over me. Especially how you treated the doctor back at the hospital" she said in tranquillity. Everyone was shocked that she had heard that. He smiled widely and it was a beautiful smile hiding behind emotions of all sort. She opened her arms for a hug. She gave him a very tight hug. Mikail was green-eyed. It was obvious, even though he tried to hide his growl, his nose flared up. It was really funny to see him that jealous.

"Thank you Ali" Layla whispered into his ear. He smiled at her. The nice nurse also got a hug from Layla. She didn't seem to understand why. She was at least happy that she got a hug from such a beautiful diva.

"You helped me Aisha. Thank you so much " Layla acknowledged. Everyone looked very shocked. How come she knew the nurses name? Something was definitely up.

"How do you know my name Layla?" The nurse asked. Layla smiled and said "I could hear what all of you said. I just couldn't react or open my eyes to see you. " she revealed. Everyone gasped after that confession. Mikail was especially surprised. Didn't a coma mean being numb to everyone and everything around you? What kind of coma was that, she went through?

After, the family left the room for Layla to rest. But she didn't she just started at Mikail. It was a romantic scene. She smiled at him and patted the space near her. He lay beside her. They both stared at each other for so long with smiles on their faces. Such an awkward yet romantic scene.

"Did you mean everything you said?" She asked him. He smiled at her and kissed her passionately. She was submissive. He loved it. He kissed her for a long while. He wasn't one who loved kissing his bitches. He would just fuck the hell out of your pussy and kick you out on the streets and leave you suffering from the immense pain, your pussy went through. But Layla wasn't a bitch. She was a wife and a loved one too.

"Every fucking word Baby. I meant every word with all the passion and love I have for you" he confessed. She dropped a tear of joy then kissed him back. She rested her hand on his head while he lay his head against her tummy. He kissed her tummy and whispered to it.

"Daddy loves you children" she was excited yet scared. He wanted to be the father of her kids? That was so sweet. She knew that she had no option now but confess her reciprocated feelings.

Before she could speak, he looked up at her and smiled. She only then remembered that today was 29th July. It was his birthday. He was Leo and she was Gemini. She had to speak up and fast.

"Happy Womb Escape Jammy. Your family and Kids love you " she whispered into his ears. He was astonished. What did she mean? Was she confessing her love for him? He didn't know what to think. This was so above him.

"Do you mean our kids or just mine?" He asked. She just smirked at him and said

"Maybe? How do you want it to be?" She asked him He was now very much confused.

"Are you confessing your love for me?" He asked again. She chuckled and replied

"Nope " popping the P. He knew she was just teasing. He smiled at her and lay his head back down on her tummy.

She smiled and inwardly thanked Allah for being there for her and for making this happen to her. Now all she needed to do was to wait for the right time, before she told him what she felt about him.

Time, Time is all I need, to show you how much I love and care for you. Just Time ❤
