Everything is going to tumble after thisss

Haajara🌺

"Thank you so much Nana" I hugged her tightly after I stepped out of the car.

"Stop thanking me dumbo! What are best friends for? Get well soonest okay?! I'll come and see you soon InshaAllah" She said and I smiled at her. "Toh I'll be expecting you! Bye!" I shut the door and watched as they zoomed out.

I sighed loudly. "Home sweet home!". "Let me hold that" Salma collected the bag I was holding and we sauntered into the house.

Nothing changed, as expected. The living room was empty. Where are my parents? Aren't they happy that I'm finally coming back home? What am I saying, they didn't even come to see me at the hospital.

"Drop the bag in my room Sally, lemme go and greet Ammi and Dada" I walked to towards their room but I stopped in my tracks when I heard them discussing something that I have a deep feeling concerns me!

"Alhaji, who is going to tell her about this now?! I really don't know how to even begin telling her such a thing!".

"She has to know one way or the other, and if anyone is going to tell her then it's me and their is nothing you can do to stop me!".

"We aren't even sure if it's true or not, why don't you investigate it yourself Alhaji?".

I didn't want to hear any more so I simply knocked on the door softly, and opened the door after Ammi answered.

"Assalamualaikum" I put on a nervous smile and bent down, greeting the respectfully. "Waalaikumusalam" Ammi and Dada looked at each other before they answered me.

"I hope you're feeling better now" Dada said. "I'm fine now Alhamdulillah" I answered and he nodded.

I looked up at Ammi but she looked away immediately and walked out. Ya Allah, what's happening here?! What is it that they are arguing on whether to tell me or not?

I stood up and followed her to her room and there she was sitted on her bed with her face buried in her palms.

"Ammi" I called and she raised her head. "Hajar.." She smiled but I could see that it wasn't a genuine one from her eyes.

I walked further into the room."Yes Ammi, are you alright?". "Of course I am infact I should be asking you that my dear, how are you? I know that I've hurt your feelings by not being by your side when you regained consciousness".

"I know that you'll never do that without a good reason Ammi. We good!" I hugged her tightly and I felt her kiss my forehead.

"Okay I have a suprise!" I clapped my hands in a childish manner, with a giggle. "What is it??" I asked excitedly

"I made your favorite lunch, Fried macaroni with chilli sauce and meatballs!" I jumped up and did a happy dance while Ammi laughed.

"Are you trying to bribe me, Maa?" I raised an eyebrow. "Well...if you want to put it like that" We both laughed.

I held her hand and together we went to the dining table. I could feel her gaze on me through our journey, I didn't want her to know that I know something is up. One way or the other, the matter will be out as it either concerns me or Salma.

"Looks like Ammi made someone's favorite" Salma frowned. "Oh please lil sis. You can leave if you don't want to eat it!" I folded my hands as I sat down beside her on the table
