What Happened That Time 2

''What are you guys doing?'' Inayah stood up and shook her head. She started going closer. ''Gideon, don't stand there. It's dangerous.''

''Go back, Inayah. Don't come closer.''

''Samantha, what are you doing?'' Inayah asked as she looked at them two of them.

When Samantha saw that Gideon was distracted, she tried to snatch the phone away and in the process pushed Gideon and his body shook, making him almost fall down.

''Gideon…'' Inayah rushed forward and held his hand as he fell down. She turned to Samantha and pleaded. ''Samantha help me.'' At that moment, the alcohol seemed to have dissipated from Inayah's eyes as she held tightly on to Gideon. But, his body weight was weighing her down.

If she made a little mistake, she could end up falling along with him down the storey building.

''Why should I help him? This is exactly where I wanted you. Scared and helpless and defenceless.'' Samantha said and dialled the district police number.

''Hold on Gideon, don't let go.'' Inayah said as beams of sweat formed around her forehead.

''Inayah, I'm tired. If I hold on any longer, I might drag you down with me.'' Gideon didn't have the strength to hold on anymore.

''Hello, is this the police? I'm calling from Fountain high. Two students are fighting on the rooftop and it looks like one is about to push the other down. I'm scared.'' She turned to Inayah saying, ''please Ayah, you will push him down at this rate.''

''Samantha, you bitch. How dare you do this?''

''Get this clear; I hate you…'' Samantha lifter her feet and stepped harder on Inayah's fingers. She applied pressured to the point that Inayah couldn't hold on to Gideon anymore and finally let go.

''Gideon…''

''Inayah…''

Inayah looked at her hands and rushed at Samantha, pushing her on the ground as they started fighting.

The scene before Bertha shocked her to the core and she stood static at the same place. She didn't know how to react.

...

Present Day.

Inayah opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She touched her forehead and heaved a relief.

..

It was a weekend, after taking her bath, Inayah got ready to go to the hospital to meet with Dr. Nick.

She had taken his number from Jasper and had arranged a meeting with him. She removed a bottle of juice from her fridge and picked her handbag before leaving the house.

After locking the door, Inayah turned to go and saw Noah at the entrance to her apartment. He was holding a bouquet of flowers.

''Noah?'' Inayah walked closer.

''Hi, Inayah.''

''Hi. What are you doing here?'' Inayah looked at the flowers and frowned.

''I can't even come here anymore?'' Noah asked in a pitiful manner. ''I thought we were friends?''

''No, that's not what I mean. Today is Sunday, so I'm just surprised to see you that's all.''

''Well, I realised I was being a jerk the last time. I'm sorry.''

After that night, he planned to change his strategy towards Inayah. He realised she was someone who didn't want to be pressured.

She wanted things at her own pace, so he was going to do that.

''Is okay. I shouldn't have spoken that way to you. I figured you were simply worried about me.''

''So, am I forgiven?''

''Of course. I don't even remember it now'' Inayah said and chuckled.

''This is for you.'' He handed the flowers over to her.

''You bought flowers for me? That's thoughtful of you. Thanks!''

''Where are you going?'' Noah couldn't take his eyes of her, because she looked beautiful in her outfit.

She was wearing a pair of light green Checkered skirt and top which fitted her well.

''I'm going to the hospital.''

''Hospital, are you sick?'' Noah touched her forehead and she stepped back.

''No. Someone I know is sick. I'm going to see the doctor for something.''

''That's a relief. Should I give you a ride?''

''Sure!!!'' Inayah hopped into the car.

.....

Hospital

When they arrived at the hospital, Noah pulled over and turned to ask Inayah, ''who are you going to visit here?''

''I'm meeting a doctor here.'' Inayah undid her seatbelt as she added, ''he is quite popular and also handsome.''

''What is his name?''

''Dr. Nick. He is the administrator here too. Young, rich and handsome.'' Inayah chuckled.

''Dr. Nick? You're here to see Dr. Nick?'' Noah tightened his fingers around the wheel but Inayah didn't notice it.

''See? I told you he is quiet popular. Even you know him. Well, he works as a private doctor for rich people.''

''Why do you want to meet him?'' His face changed slightly as he asked.

''This is about my privacy; you don't expect me to tell you that, right?'' Inayah laughed and shook her head.

''I will pick you up when you're done."

''No need, after here, I have to go and see someone.'' Inayah didn't want him to know all her plans.

''Who?''

"Noah, why are you asking me so many questions?" Inayah asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I'm just curious." Noah replied.

"In any case, I am going to meet Slsomeone who is neither my friend nor my enemy. I have people like that around me. You don't have to worry.''

''Then, when would you be free?''

''I don't really know; I think today is not a good time. I will call you when I'm free.''

''Okay.'' Noah watched her get out of the car with the flowers in her hands.

He picked up his phone and dialled a number. ''I want to know what relationship Inayah has with Dr. Nick and my uncle.''

..

Dr. Nick's Consulting Room.

Nick was reading when he heard a knock on the door. ''Come in!'' He closed the book when the door opened and Inayah walked inside. ''Miss Ibrahim, fancy seeing you again.'' He smiled.

''Hi. Just call me Inayah.''

''I was surprised to see your call?''

Inayah smiled. ''I know.'' She placed the flowers in her hands on the empty chair next to her.

''Flowers, your boyfriend bought them for you?'' Nick asked curiously.

''No. Flowers for apology.''

''I see. So, tell me. Why did you call me?'' Even though he knew the real reason, he still wanted to hear it from her own mouth. He realised she was even braver than he had thought.

''Can you remove tattoos?'' Inayah asked and he furrowed his brows surprised.

''Tattoos? Why? Do you have a tattoo that you want removed?''

''Something like that!''
