Chapter 56

"Ok" Umar said as he hung up on a call he was on

"Are you ok?" I asked when I noticed him looking more tensed than before

He nodded before he turned  left

We left the hospital some minutes ago to go back home

It was 9pm but Ya Abdul still wasn't up and after a lot of convincing from Aunty, Umar managed to drag me out of the hospital

I didn't want to leave Ya Abdul all alone but they insisted I go back home saying Aunty and Rumaisa were there to stay with him

"Are you sure?" I asked

"I said Yes!" he snapped 

I frowned a little before I kept quiet after that not wanting to make him angry

I wasn't exactly in a good mood myself

It was so obvious he was frustrated from the way his hand frequently went to his hair which was in need of a trim 

I started to get worried when I noticed how hard he was clenching the steering wheel

He suddenly stopped at the side of the road with a quick brake making me let out a gasp

"Take over" he said as he opened his door

I quickly went out of my door and we exchanged seats

I started the car again and I drove us back to the main road

I kept driving while stealing glances at Umar who was calmly leaned against the chair

But I knew he was nothing but calm right now

I can not see his eyes clearly but I knew they are filled with anger

That's one thing about Umar, you can see the fury in his eyes

I've never seen him this angry to be honest, even some months back when he got angry at me from barging into his meeting

It was nothing compared to this

I was genuinely scared for myself

We stopped at a traffic light

An Almajiri kid came up to our car with a bottle of diluted soap water ready to spray it on the windshield

I shook my head at him

He acted like he didn't see me

They never listen

Umar turned to look at him and the poor boy quickly stumbled back and he left immediately

Oh waton ni ba mutum ba?  he ignored me when I was telling him like I wasn't there mtchw (Oh so I am not a human)

I felt sorry for the boy, i would have laughed at his reaction if my mind wasn't too busy trying to think of things that could have made Umar this angry

His phone rang and he answered it immediately "did you find out?"

He froze for a second before he spoke "Thank you"

It was so freaking hard to keep my mouth shut from asking what was going on

"Hameeda" the way he called my name sent chills over my entire body

Why am I so scared?

Hameeda, This is Umar, YOUR Umar why are you scared?
I asked  myself

"Yes?"

"Speed up" he didn't have to say it again because I stepped on the gas

In less that 4 minutes we reached home
