Chapter 53

Amira Sultan p.o.v


 

  My back landed on water but it hit like a very solid ground knocking the breath out of me , the light was fading away from my eyes blurring my vision . I can feel water going inside my eyes , mouth , ear making it impossible for me to breathe .

  I tried to swim upward but my arm was very difficult to move , I wanted to breathe , I was desperate but I couldn't slow down , the energy in me for surviving fading down before my eyes about to close , a strong pair of arms grip my waist strongly taking me to the surface .

  My back lay on a solid ground , the light was fading away from my eyes while I was trying to concentrate on the bright sun above me , it was appearing and disappearing like a flickered .

  Nothing was making sense where I was and why .

  I felt someone tapping my cheeks , I could see a figure hovering over me but blurry vision didn't let me see anything .

  I tried to move but my whole body was in pain . Suddenly I felt my gut twisting and water came from my mouth making me cough miserly .

  " Thank God you are okay" I heard Khalid's relief voice .

  I can see his face now , his warm hand cups my face.

  " Are you alright? '' he asked in a faraway voice , he was so close to me yet felt like miles away .

  " Hmm.." I grunt in response, feeling tried to move any muscle.

  " Alhumdulillah you are alive , I thought something happen to you " 
  Warm and solid arm circle around me pulling me toward his strong chest , A sigh left my mouth as I struggled closer to him to receive more warmth .

  " Say something " he said cupping my face and making me look into his eyes , I stared into his eyes .

  Suddenly , I felt sleepy … " Khalid, " I whispered .

  " Yes '' the way everything is walking around I realised he is carrying me in his arms .

  " I am feeling sleepy '' I snuggle closer in his chest .

  " Sleep tesoro" that's the last thing I heard .
 

 

 

 

  A sudden jolt woke me up and my eyes snapped open . I am still surrounded by long dry trees . I was lying on the ground trying to remember everything . I noticed my head was resting on something , so soft yet strong , following the thing my gaze fell on Khalid's handsome face.

  My eyes widened as I remembered everything , in pure panic I scramble away feeling scared , he pushes me off the cliff . He tried to kill me . My movement woke him up and his eyes searched around taking an instant position to fight .

  His eyes landed on me letting him sigh .

  " You are awake " he let out a sigh of relief .

  There was a small cut on his forehead , which had dried blood on it . His face has small , blue , purple bruises .

  " Amira, are you okay , do you remember everything? " he asked, looking at me sceptically .

  I glared at him " yes I do "

  " You tried to kill me " I yelled , hot tears burning my eyes .

  " I tried to do what ?" He looked taken aback by my accusations .

  " You '' I poke his hard chest .
  " You tried to kill me " I spoke with each and every word .

  " Amira listened to me " he tried to reach my face but I shook my head vigorously.

  " You pushed me , I could have died, " I sniffled.

  " You betrayer, " I shouted in anger.

  I don't know why but his body got stiff .

  " You are right, " he whispered .

  " I am a betrayer " with that he walked away , I don't know where to leaving me alone in the jungle .
 

  


 

 

  " Hey ! Wait '' I shouted as he continued walking deeper in the wood .
 

 

  I caught him up. " First you " heavy breath " tried to kill me " he kept walking " then you are leaving me alone in this JUNGLE "I yelled dramatically .
 

  He stopped , turning with his classic poker expression " I am not leaving you alone , I just want to be alone " he stated .
 

  I glared " look Mr. Khalid Mirza " I poke his hard chest closing the distance between us " we are …. In the middle of the jungle , all alone … with goons behind us …. I just fell on the cliff from so high …..So SORRY! if I don't want to understand your emotional CRISIS….. " I yelled at his face, breathing heavily .
 

 

  He kept staring at my face then tilted his head slightly cupping my head between his hands ,  checking something .
 

  " What are you -" I pushed his hand away .
 

  " Your personality changed in the jungle " his lip twitched thinking something in his mind .
 

  I put my hand on my waist. " It's called surviving a crisis " I said with all seriousness.
 

 

  Even though he tried his best , a chuckle erupted from his throat " idiot " he muttered starting to walk again .
 

  " Khalid !" I groan. 
 

 

  I started walking beside him with a grumpy look on my face .
 

 

 

  Any shrubbery that would have grown has been trampled down and all that is left is a very narrow path, overhung with branches from the trees that mark its sides. As I start down the trail, I begin to feel the trees closing around me until the house can no longer be seen. We follow the trail to where it stops at the creek's edge, 
 

  As we walk further , Khalid moves away some thin branches of trees blocking our away , the moment he removes it an awe gasp escapes my lips .
 

 

 

 

   I was standing in front of a waterfall. I saw the beautifully harmonious view of the waterfall and the colourful trees and flowers. I also heard the sound of birds waking in the morning, and the rush of falls. It made me feel like I was in a fairytale.
 

  " Alhumdulillah ( all praise belongs to Allah ) " I whispered at the awe struck view in front of me .
 

 

  " Is it for real? " I grab Khalid's arm…. A huge smile appeared on my face . I never thought I would experience this type of thing in my entire life .
