Ella gently opens the door and takes a peep for the fourteenth time. Abdullah is still sleeping peacefully on the couch. She found it very difficult to sleep without him close to her but still doesn't want to apologize. She reluctantly shuts the door but opens it again and summons courage. She walks straight to him with a straight face. "Abdullah." she whisper but no response, so she calls again but this time, with a gentle tap. "Abdullah."
He opens his eyes to see who is calling him. "What is it?" He fumes as he sees Ella.
She clears her throat and looks away. "Come to the bed."
"I do not wish too." He bluntly rejects and turns his back at her.
"What?!" Miss Smith asks almost loudly. "Fine! Enjoy your night on the couch." she turns her back to leave but then turns back to face him again and says not almost loudly but loudly. "And don't ever think of coming to the bed for the rest of your life."
"Your noise will wake everyone in the house." Abdullah says sounding less concerned about Ella's annoyance.
Miss Smith walks back to the room swiftly and bangs the door, she jumps on the bed and folds her arms then starts ranting. "Why is he acting up? It's not like I asked him not to sleep here, he just chose to sleep on the couch." she shrugs her shoulders. "So it's not my fault."
The door opens again and Abdullah walks In with a duvet. "Am I welcomed here?" He asks and drops the duvet on the bed.
"Why did you decide to sleep on the couch in the first place?"
"Because both of us appear to be mad at each other, I was just trying to avoid anymore dramas." He sits closer to her and pats her head. "You suddenly look more beautiful."
"I have been always beautiful." Miss Smith whispers a bit shy. "Maybe you just didn't notice."
He holds her hands. "When we return home, let's have kids."
Ella's eyes widens a bit. "What is that supposed to mean? A request or proposal?"
Abdullah smiles and pulls out a beautiful red ring box from his short's pocket.
"What is this?" Ella asks with a lot of excitement written all over her face.
He gently opens the ring box and the diamond shines to its full glory. "Ella Smith, will you marry me?"...
Miss Smith was smiling and admiring her ring when her cell phone rings. She looks in a bit of confusion and fright, she exchanges short glances with her fiancé. "Who do you think it is this time around?"
"I honestly have no idea." He whispers.
"Should I answer the call?" She asks again.
"Of course, how will you know who the caller is if you don't answer the call?" Abdullah asks too.
Ella takes a deep breath, picks up her phone and answer the call. "Hello."
"Am i speaking to Ella Smith?" Cecelia asks in her lowest tone, she is so tired and weak because the wound stings a lot.
"Yes, who are you?"
"I am Cecelia." She says shortly.
Once again, the lovers exchange short glances. A lot of questions travel around their head and mind. Cecelia? Why is she calling? At this time of the day? Did something happen to her? Why does she sound so weak?
"How can I help you?" Ella asks saying her words one after the other.
"I was planning to run away, but I tripped over a huge stone and injured the myself. The wound stings a lot that I can hardly move, I am bleeding profusely too." Cecelia narrates with the last bits of her energy.
"You should get a cab and go to the hospital, why did you call me?" She tries to act as if she careless.
"I can't move, I am too weak to do so."
"Then I guess you return to your boss, calling me is out the line."
"You know well that I can't go back there, please just help me. Linda put a lot on the line to get me out of the house, I can't fail her like this." Cecelia whispers sobbing.
"What do I do?" Miss Smith asks whispering to her fiancé.
Abdullah snatches the phone and says to Cecelia. "Can you just try to move yourself somewhere else, you are medical doctor right? Is there a way you stop the blood?"
"I have nothing here with me, so I just tied the wound with a piece of cloth and I already moved to a place better, but still around the vicinity.
"That means you need the anti tetanus injection as soon as possible."
"Yes." Cecelia exhales deeply. "I am getting really weak and tired."
"Text me the address of where you are, and make sure you don't fall asleep. Please."
"I will try not to, please be quick. I will text the address to you now." She says and hangs up.
"Do you think we should really go?" Ella asks.
"That shouldn't be a question, can't you hear how she is sounding? She is very weak and restless."
"Abdullah, she might be my father's daughter but she is still my enemy's offspring as well. We must never forget the fact that she might be used as a bait to catch me."
"Ignore your doubts and deny your instincts." He whispers and places his hands on Ella's shoulders, "I think your sister is in danger."
