I woke up to someone stroking my cheek gently. I opened my eyes slowly, to see Hamdan's eyes looking back at me. I opened my eyes wider, trying to wake myself from this dream. He wasn't disappearing, he made his way to my hair, and started running his fingers through it. I didn't say a word, just stared into his innocent eyes. Was this a dream? Someone pinch me! He broke into a smile, and my heart skipped a beat. "I love you" Hamdan whispered. I smiled, and hid my face so he wouldn't see my tears flowing. "Layla" he said with a harsh tone. God, i missed his voice, and the way he said my name. I looked up and wiped my tears. "What's wrong?" "I love you, that's what's wrong" i replied. He began laughing, and squeezed my cheek. I was so in love. Do you know what i'm talking about? The kind of love where the sun could shine or not shine all day long and you wouldn't care. The kind of love that makes you want to jump in the pool on December. The kind of love that makes you want to dance in the rain. The nurse came in, and woke me up from my thoughts. "How are you feeling today, Mr. Hamdan?" she asked. "I'm good, woke up to her beautiful face, what else could i ever wish for" Hamdan replying while looking at me. I began to laugh, "Aakhhh i miss that" he blurted out. "What?" i said while laughing. "I miss your laugh" he said with a smile. "I need to check your blood pressure, sir" the nurse interrupted. She took his arm, and check his blood pressure and kept his eyes on me. I turned around cause i started blushing, he began to laugh. "Haa, you're blushing?" he asked. "Sir, you have a ring in your hand" she uttered. She showed it to him and he looked at my finger with the missing ring. He gently took my hand and put it on my finger. "I'm waiting for the day i'll get to put a wedding ring on your finger" he mentioned with a big smile. "Why was it in my hand though?" he asked.
Khalaf, Shamsa, Hamda, Nayef, and his mother burst in the room and ran towards Hamdan. "Habibi, my son, you scared me, i thought i lost you" his mother said with tears rushing down her face. "Oh mum, i'm okay, look at me I'm all good" he said while kidding her on her head. "You scared us, man" Khalaf said while hugging him. "Ah, missed you a whole lot" Nayef said while hugging him too. "Welcome back" Hamda said with a smile. "Shamsa cried so much for you, i started getting really jealous, thank God you finally woke up" Khalaf said while looking at Shamsa. "I didn't cry, don't lie" she replied. Everyone started laughing and it broke out the tense mood. "Are you feeling better?" Shamsa asked. "Yea, thank God" he replied with a smile. "How are you guys?" "Did you miss me?" he said with a wink. Everyone began laughing again. He turned back at me and smiled. "I swear Layla, didn't leave you for a second" "She didn't go home, and didn't eat for the past three days" Khalaf stated. "She kept sneaking in your room, thinking that we didn't see her" Shamsa continued. I began to laugh and said "I thought no one noticed." "We all knew" Hamda said while laughing. "Yalla let's go get you some food" Hamdan said. "Hey hey, you're not going anywhere, you're staying here till you get better" i said seriously. "Then go eat something, then Khalaf will drop you home so you can get some sleep" he uttered. "No" i replied while folding my arms.
The doctor stated that Hamdan will be able to leave home tomorrow. We all helped in packing the bags and Khalaf helped him shave and get dressed. Hamdan looked much better than usual, which is a great sign. Shamsa decided to go with Nayef to get some lunch for everyone. I stayed with Hamda and we talked about all sorts of things. Khalaf came out of Hamdan's room and sat next to us. "Thank God he's better now" he said. "Yea" we both agreed. "Where's Shamsa?" Khalaf asked. "She went with Nayef to get us lunch" Hamda replied. I still haven't eaten for three whole days, and i was ready to eat. I surely needed to go home and sleep, but i wasn't going to leave Hamdan all alone. Moments later we heard Khalaf screaming on the phone "Where are you?" It turns out he was talking to Shamsa, and was really mad at her for not taking permission from him to go out. He told her to rush back to the hospital before he does something she'll regret. She came back in about five minutes, and he marched towards her. He grabbed her from her arm and started yelling. "Where were you?" "I went to get us lunch, instead of thanking me you're shouting at me?" she answered slyly. "Don't answer back, or i'll cut your tongue!" "I swear to God if you ever go out without taking permission from me, you're not going to like what happens, understood?" "Hmm yea whatever" she replied. "Do you want me to pull your hair?" he shouted with his vein popping from his neck. Sweat coming down his forehead, and anger in his tone, he really seemed scary. "Sit down infront of me, c'mon" Khalaf continued. We calmed him down and began to eat our lunch.
