We stood there looking at each other like lost lovers reunion moment.
“Habil..” I muttered as these sudden gush of guilt raining inside my guts. “I’m sorry..” I blurted.
Habil held his fingers and as gently as he could, he run them in between my hair. Such a beautiful and delicate feeling.. I feel so enlightened and warm.
“It’s all over now.. the important thing now is for both you and your dad to get the proper treatment..” said Habil with an earnest smile mark on his face.
He seems to read my thoughts as he begins, “The authorities doubt my story.. and true enough the CCTV had shown it all..”
“It was me.. I should be the one to be jailed not you..” I state.
Habil lightly shakes his head with a smile. “It’s nobody’s fault… things just happened… situation which we can’t control. Now is the time for us to focus on healing..no more lingering about the past.”
I nodded my head. “Yup no more dark chapters..”
“And..congratulations on your engagement with Ezra..” state Habil.
I smiled sheepishly with my eyes suddenly fixed upon the moulded cemented flour. “He’s been a great help to me.. he’s beside me during my darkest period and I believe he’s genuine with his feelings for me..”
Habil remain silent but from the corners of my eyes I could see grief sadness shrouding his features.
“However, the sacrifices which you have done for me and my daddy, only God could repay you..” I said as I lightly touches his hands.
He looked at me and said, “No it’s not about that.. there’s something which you need to know more about Ezra…”
“I think your job is only to look after the old man. I can handle Reem..” state a stern voice and to my dreadful flash, it was Ezra. Without second thoughts Ezra roughly pulled me away from Habil. “Because Reem is not as hopeless as what everyone thinks!!!” Marks Ezra much to my disappointment.
“You think I’m hopeless?” I asked as I stare hard upon Habil.
“I would never said or even think such things about you or anyone else..” sighed Habil with anguish disappointment mark on the tone of his voice.
“Come Reem we are leaving…” state Ezra firmly as he pulled me along with him. “And next time, make sure you tell me wherever you’ve decided to step out from our home..” hissed Ezra as his darken traits enraged his soul.
“Oh son of Aaron, why the need to rush?” Cried Ariel as he was suddenly awaken from his nap.
“Son of Aaron?” I asked as I look at Ezra.
“Oh sweetheart didn’t Aaron told you both Habil and Ezra are his sons..from his previous marriage before he met Leila that wreaked witch ” Asked Ariel as he walked closer towards us.
I looked at both of them. Habil had his gloomy side looking sadly at me while Ezra his darkening anger roams ferociously upon me.
In just a split second, Ariel charge forward and pounce Ezra’s chest just like a while beast. Ezra lost his balance and fall on his back. Ariel sat on him and continued to punch and hit Ezra chest as hard as he could. Habil quickly grabbed Ariel and forcefully pulled him away from Ezra.
“Quick Reem, bring Ezra away from him.. I can handle your dad here..” advised Habil as he hold on to my dad as hard as he could. Ariel was struggling in between Habil’s arm. “Go now.. go!!!” Cried Habil.
“Crazy, stupid old man..” snarled Ezra as he hassle to stand up.
“Mind your language. That’s my father you’re talking about!” I snapped.
Without second thoughts, Ezra roughly tugged me and took me away from that home, leaving Habil and my dad behind. I took a frantic look towards them.
“Be calm Ezra.. please!!!” Cried Habil.
“Like I said, concerns yourself with that old man..and leave my problem alone..” snarled Ezra.
