Hamdan was finally leaving the hospital today. We helped him pack his bags, and asked the doctor to have a final check up. The doctor prescribed some medications for Hamdan to take daily. I was running abit late, cause i went to the flower shop to get him some flowers. I know it's weird to get a guy flowers, but it was a change. I ran to his room with the big bouquet of white lilies. The door was open, so i walked in while saying good morning. God, i was so happy he was back. "Good morning Habibti" he said with a big smile. "These are for you" i said while giving him the bouquet. "Aww, you shouldn't have" he uttered. He made his way to my cheek and pecked me with his soft lips. I smiled, and heard the nurse tell him he had to get up and take a few steps. He slowly removed the cover, and moved to the edge of the bed trying to stand up for the first time. He pushed himself to stand up and walk, but his legs were too weak and forced him to fall. I immediately held his arm and pulled him up. "Let's take baby steps slowly" i mentioned with an innocent smile. He began to walk step by step while holding my hand, and gradually began walking normally. "See you did it!" i spilled. "Yea, wouldn't have done it without you" he replied. I walked him slowly towards his driver's car, and placed him in the back. His mother was sitting next to him in the back, and she would be taking care of him from now on. I walked to Khalaf's car and sat in the back next to Hamda and Nayef. Shamsa was sitting next to Khalaf and she turned to greet me. "I'm glad he's better now" Shamsa stated. "Yea, thank God" Khalaf answered with relief. We made our way to Hamdan's house and played some music.

As soon as we reached, we all helped with the bags and so did the maids. Hamdan's sisters ran out and jumped to hug him. They began to kiss him many times on his cheeks and played with his hair. "We missed you" the little one said. "I missed you more my little princess" he replied. When i saw that sight, i didn't want anything but to see him a father to my children. The way he was carrying his sisters with both arms, you could sense the safety and protection. His mother invited us in, but we apologised. Hamdan needed to rest and so did we. He hugged Khalaf and Nayef and thanked them for all their support and for standing by his side. He shook Hamda and Shamsa's hands and thanked them too for everything. As i went to him, he just stared and smiled. "I'll talk to you soon" he stated while slipping a note in my hand. He blew a kiss to me and i caught it and placed it on my heart. I watched him holding his sister's hands and walking into his house. 

We rode in Khalaf's big black Toyota Land Cruiser. "Want to get some food?" he asked. "Yea let's go to Shakespeare" Hamda suggested. "Yalla" Khalaf replied. As we were leaving we noticed a strange car parked in front of Hamdan's house. It was a silver Porsche Panamera, with the plate number 12345.

"I recognise that plate number from somewhere, but i don't remember where?" Khalaf stated while squinting his eyes. We all looked into the dark tinted car, to find two people inside. It was really weird, all cars in every neighbourhood were known. This was the first time we ever saw that car. We ignored that sight and drove to Shakespeare to get some food. We were singing along to some of the newest songs, then suddenly Khalaf turns the car and speeds super fast. "SH*T!" he yelled. "What's wrong?" Shamsa screamed. "Why're you going so fast?" "Slow down!" she shouted with anger. "That was the car i saw in Yas, after the accident." "The guys who got Hamdan into the hospital, own that car" he barked with his face red, and eyes so black. When we reached Hamdan's house the car just left. Khalaf quickly followed the car and tried not to make it obvious. We kept following them for an hour, until the car finally stopped in the middle of no where. Two men stepped out of the car. One of them was tall, dark, and had a really big body covered in a yellow Kandora. The other man was almost the same height as his friend, but he was wearing ripped jeans and a black T-shirt. "Please don't go out there!" Shamsa spat out with her hands clinging on Khalaf's Kandora sleeves. He pulled his arm away from her grab, and stepped out of the car. We were all scared, terrified another accident would soon take place. The two men both walked towards Khalaf and smiled. Shamsa began to cry. We just got out of a harsh time with Hamdan, we didn't need another person to mourn about. Nayef stepped out of the car too and walked towards Khalaf. I was sitting in the car with Hamda and Shamsa, and they were both panicking. The men walked towards each other and began to talk. The one with the ripped jeans put his hand on Khalaf's shoulder and he immediately shook it off with anger. This was going to get rough.
