Chapter 21

Ruma looked tired, she felt at peace at the news the doctor had just passed to her and Mynah.

She looked at Amir and he was moving his lips slowly in his sleep, he looked so peaceful.

"He is okay, this is a miracle. Seriously he had died, his pulses stopped" the doctor was so surprised.

"It was Allah" Ruma said while holding Amir's hand.

" Your faith is strong, may God Bless yololovove he says and ruma muttered an Ameen.

" Mynah can you excuse them, I don't want many people being in this room with him" the doctor said politely and Mynah nodded.

"Okay no problem, Ruma  take care. I'll be outside if you need me" Mynah said before exiting with the doctor.

They locked the door,  leaving a sleeping Amir and Ruma  in the room .

" Amir you scared me" Ruma  said, though he was asleep.

"But I am very happy you are okay, Please wake up let us go back home to Abba" she said smiling.

She laid her head on Amirs shoulder,

"But I want to stay with you forever" Amir muttered making Ruma seat up .

"Amir" she was so happy to see him awake l.

"Let me call the doctor" she said trying to get up from the chair but Amir stopped her.

"No no, can't you see i am okay.  please I'm tired of hearing that doctors voice,  now all I want to hear is yours " he said.

"Well Mr Amir sheikh you are not well and you need a doctor and I don't look like a doctor,  do I ?" She said jokingly.

"Well you are the doctor of my heart so all i need is your love and Affection to serve as my medicine" he said.

"Well what if I decide not to give you my love and Affection, what will you do?" She said.

"Then I'll simply just die" He said calmly.

"And if you die, I'll die along with you so don't say that again" she found herself in tear.

"I was only joking, you are such a crying monster" he joked.

"And you are such an annoying person, i almost lost you three hours ago and you are here making jokes, as a matter of fact I need to get the doctor so stay here and don't even try to move" she says swinging her hands and walking away.

''Bring me water" he yells , though the place where he was shut still hurts .

" Stop yelling " she yelled back and exitef to get the doctor.

"Beatrice, please bring in the wheelchair"the doctor said to a nurse.

" No doctor,vI can walk"Amir said.

"Are you sure?"the doctor asked.

"yes, absolutely sure" he said.

"Then walk from there to here let me have a look"the doctor said and he nodded while getting up.

He walked down to the dispenser which was a little away from the bed where he laid.

"You see,I am all good" Amir said which earned his a smile from ruma.

" That's a good sign then" the doctor said.

Mynah who had been outside came in, in other to inform them about the car which was brought to take Amir back home.
