Chapter 26

Safeeya's POV

"How do you feel?" This is the thousand time he is asking this question.

"I feel Good" I replied softly.

"Do you remember anything? "The doctor asked and i nodded, how can I forget my dreadful past.

"like what?, Firstly what is your name?" Aadil asked. I am even shocked as to how i know his name.

" Safeeya" I said.

"Safeeya!" He called my name so dreamingly, I am beginning to think he is weird.

"How many days have I been here?" I asked. My hausa accent was still quit audible and i cursed myself beneath my breath after speaking.

"Not days, years and some month. Two years and three month"Aadil said.

"Years?. I don't understand"I said softly.

" The thing is...."Aadil was speaking but the Doctor Cut him off.

"Not now Aadil, she needs to Rest" the Doctor said, giving me a motherly grin.

"You feel okay right?" She questioned calmly.

"Yes I do"I smiled.

"Okay then, I'll be taking my leave now. But do not hesitate to call me if any crises Arises"The doctor said.

"Thank you Doctor Vivi" Aadil said "and the nurse, they'll be here right?"

"Of course" she responded.

"okay then, thank you so much"Aadil thanked her and she smiled.

" Bye bye safeeya"she said, her accent with that of Aadil was similar.

"Bye" I smiled.

She left with Aadil who Immediately came back to the room after some minutes.

"Miss beauty, uhm I mean safeeya. Hope you are okay?" He asked. The phrase miss beauty didn't seem old to my ears, it felts like I have heard it countless of times.

"Yes" I replied in a breath.

"You are a Muslim right?" He asked and I simply nodded while shuting my eyes.

"Aadil what I heard is it true?" The voice of an elderly woman Echoed through the room and I  flanged my eye lids open, only to meet with a beautiful Elderly woman, just like my mum.

"Yes Ammie" Aadil responded.

"Alhamdudilah" she said walking over to me, she cupped my cheeks with her palm and smiled so Lovingly at me.

"How are you habibty?" She asked.

"I Am fine" I said.

"Ke hausa ce ko  (You are hausa right?)" She asked. probably because of my Accent

"Ai, ni hausawa ce (yes I am Hausa)" I responded.

"Oh wow, that is nice. You see Aadil, you've gotten a friend" she said and he smiled.

" How old are you?"she asks, which Got her a scolding From Aadil.

" Mum let her be, she is tired" Aadil said.

"Twenty two" I whispered.

" Wow, you are a young girl, let me let you be before Aadil losses it" she said jokingly.

She left after saying something to Aadil which Got him smiling like a loon.

"I'll let you be now, I guess you are tired" he said and i nod.

He left me alone in the room, where I laid my head on the wooden plank of the bed as all my past flashed before my eyes.

"She is my maid" His voice Echoed in my ears and a tear slipped down my eyes. Humaids voice.
