Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

SOME GIRLS TALK

Mariam’s P.O.V.

“Have you thought about this seriously?” mom asked me in a worried tone. I sighed and then closed my eyes. “What do you think I should do in this situation, mom?” I asked her instead of answering her. She was worried about me that I knew. I was her only child and there was no way that she would be at ease after knowing about the risk of the operation. “It’s not about my opinion, Mariam. You always do things that you want to do. You never listened to me in the past. I know that if you have decided that you will help Rehaana then there is no way that I can stop you but you should understand me too”, she said in a bit cracked voice at the end.

I opened my eyes and looked at her with a calm gaze. “I asked about your opinion here, mom. What should I do now?” I asked her again. She pursed her lips into a thin line and looked away. I waited for her answer because that was important now. She was also worried about Rehaana and didn’t want anything bad to happen to her, but when she came to know that both of us had the same blood type and I could donate my bone marrow to her in order to save her life, she was now worried about me too. She knew me well. Of course, she is because she is my mother. She knew that I would not back away now.

“I am not the one who will be in danger here, mom. I will recover in maximum ten days? Think about, Rehaana. Her life still be at risk after the transplant. I searched about the operation and I can’t describe how horrified I was when I read those articles”, I wrinkled my nose while thinking about those articles written on bone marrow transplant on the search engine. “Will she be okay?” suddenly my mom asked me with worry about Rehaana. I smiled internally. She was my mom and I knew that she was also caring by nature and she couldn’t’ help it. “You can read by yourself”, I said while moving my shoulders a bit. I was still lying on the bed due to my back injury and now it was really irritating me. I wanted to stand up or at least sit down for a bit.

She immediately picked up her phone from her lap as she was still in the wheelchair. I closed my eyes again and sighed internally. It would take time and that was enough for me to think about something else than this operation. I didn’t know why Demitry and Rehaana were so worried about the donating part in this operation. All I had read was that there is no danger for the donor. The donor can have pain in his or her lower limb and hips for some days and then he or she will be as good as they are before. A small smile crept on my lips. To be honest, I believed that he didn't love me the way I love him after what happened in our last encounter before my accident. I never thought that he would confess his love for me.

Suddenly I opened my eyes and knitted my brows. “Mom.. did you get any news on Warrick and Valerie?” I asked her as Demitry had refused me to tell anything about them. “O yeah… Serena called a few days ago. She told me that Warrick and Valerie fought over something a few days ago and You won’t believe”, she immediately looked at me with wide eyes. “He even hit her”, she said and my eyes widened in shock too. “What are you saying?” I said with disbelief. “Yeah… I am telling the truth, honey. Warrick is having some problems with his business and Valerie made some issues about his financial situation. She said that they were so loud that the whole street heard them”, mom told me further and I took a deep breath this time.

“Ask aunt Serena to keep an eye on them. I am sure that Valerie must have something in her sleeves by now. Warrick was not violent towards me in our relationship. She must have crossed the limit and has pushed all his buttons that he acted like this”, I said to mom. She furrowed her brows while looking at me annoyingly. “You are still defending that scumbag?” she said angrily this time. “I am not defending him, mom”, I immediately denied her accusation. “I am just stating the facts. You also have witnessed his nature before. I don’t remember if he has raised his voice on me during our relationship”, I stated the fact but felt inside that I was really defending Warrick. It was so wrong, but I couldn’t deny that Warrick was never violent or impulsive towards me. In fact, he was always cheerful and understanding before.

“Still I felt no remorse for Valerie. She is a snake and someone has to smash her head (she was looking so angry right now). I got a call from your father’s lawyers too”, she said and this time I raised my brows at her. She suddenly pursed her lips into a thin line as if she didn’t have to tell this to me. “Mom” I called her again and this time, she sighed aloud. “Demitry asked me not to tell you about this matter. He said that he will take care of this matter. The doctor has strongly suggested keeping you away from worries and trouble”, she said in a tone filled with guilt and worry. I sighed aloud this time and looked in the other direction.

“I need to talk with Demitry on this matter”, I said after a brief pause. “Mariam… let him handle this matter. This is about the property that your dad has purchased with your uncle in partnership. Although your dad has paid the maximum for this property, they were equal partners. Now”, she paused and gulped down. “Valerie has shown some papers that stated that your father has paid a very low amount for that property and it was her father that had paid the full amount. She has changed the paper and according to those new forged papers, the whole property must go to her. She has contacted the lawyer to transfer that piece of property to her”, the worry was dripping from her voice now.

“Let me talk with Demitry first. I am sure that you have passed every detail to him. I can’t sit or make any move right now”, I said helplessly. I have been doing nothing but self-pity for the past few months. I really wish that I wouldn’t get involve in any more accidents now. It was really hard to stay in the bed all time. I really missed my time in the forests. I felt free and happy there. The world said that the forests are very dangerous places if the wild animals are roaming there freely. But my experience with humans suggested another way. I was more afraid among the humans. I came out of my stance when I heard the opening of the door. I smiled when I saw Rehaana coming inside the room.

“Hey…. Wanna watch a movie?” she asked me with a cheerful smile on her face. “Uhhh… I think… I can do this”, I said with a pout and she knitted her brows while looking at me and my mom. Mom also shrugged her shoulders. She waved her hand in the air and then sat down near me. “Anyways… I talked with the physiotherapist today. The doctor said that soon they are going to start physiotherapy. You will be back on your feet soon”, she clapped her hands cheerfully which made me smile more. “That’s great. I really sick being on the bed”, I whined while looking at my pathetic body now. I was still covered with so many bandages all over my body. They shaved my head because of the head injury. I still didn’t understand how I could look beautiful right now. I remembered that Demitry still called me beautiful the other day. He was still reserved towards me but I was glad that he also want me the way I want him.

“Earth on girl…. Halo”, I came out of my stance when Rehaana snapped her fingers in front of my eyes. “Uhhhh”, I looked at her blankly. She gave me a look and I immediately looked at her apologetically. “Sorry… I zoned out”, I said while lowering my eyes. “Still thinking about, Demitry?” she teased me this time and I heard my mom giggling too. “Hey… are you two planning to make babies?” she suddenly jumped on the bed folding her one leg. “What…. No?” I immediately yelled while looking at her with wide eyes in shock. How could she say like this? “Whynot? You two are already married and… you love each other too”, she started whining now and I rolled my eyes.

“Rehaana…. Do you think that I am in a condition of making babies?” I asked her irritatingly while stating the fact. “O come on…. It’s his job… not yours…. That part of yours is still intact… all you need is”, both I and Rehaana snapped our heads towards my mother. “Mom” I yelled at the top of my lungs in horror before she could finish what she wanted to say. “Auntie”, Rehaana also yelled with me but in shock. “What?” she looked at us annoyingly. I almost stopped breathing because of the bluntness of my mother. I meant it was not like I didn’t know how to make babies. I was in a relationship with Warrick for more than seven years. We didn’t do anything more than kissing, hugging and cuddling but I knew what she wanted to say here. She didn’t need to be so blunt.

“Hey”, I looked up and my face went pale. Demitry raised his brows on my reaction and his gaze moved from me to Rehaana and then to my mom. They were also looking at him dumbfounded. “Did I interrupt something?” he asked in confusion while looking around at us. “No…. no….not at all”, it was my mom who immediately sounded enthusiastic. I could see that he was also startled by my mother’s reaction. He came near to my bed and then sat down near my legs. “What is it?” he asked in a concerned tone this time. “Uhhh…. It’s nothing”, I tried to get myself together. “We are just talking… you know girl’s talking… ha.ha.ha”, Rehaana stuttered nervously while looking at me and I immediately nodded while blinking rapidly. “Yeah…. Yeah… girl’s talking”, mom also chimed in. He was now suspicious about us. “Who is going to tell me what is going on here”, he then gave all of us a stern look and I immediately looked at Rehaana in horror.

“O come on, Demitry… can’t we gossip and all like normal girls and women? It’s a normal trait of a woman, you know”, for the first time during the whole day, I saw my mother as our life saviour here. Demitry looked at me as if I had stolen something from him. “What?” I asked him innocently. I knew his look but there was no way that I was going to tell him what my mom said a few minutes later. “Actually I need to talk with you, Mariam”, he said after a short pause. “What is it?” I asked him and he took a deep breath while looking at Rehaana. I looked at her and could see that she was also uncomfortable right now. “Oliver and Sasha want to come here”, he said and I huffed in annoyance.
