Salma

“So it was Helen who loved Protea flowers?” I asked the florist.

‘Yes,” he replied.

“Did you know if my mother had any special preference when it came to flowers?” I asked.

He shook his head, “She only ever came here to buy protea flowers,” he said.

“And she would come with just me?” I asked him.

He smiled before responding, “At first she would come alone. Then she started to bring a young man along with her, then she became pregnant and after that she would only came here with you.”

    Salma “Then I guess you can forget the private jet this morning!” he screamed, pressing me against the door. “No one wants your stupid private…” His tongue was in my mouth—uninvitedly plundering into the mouth and yet I did not push him away. It was only when a moan escaped my mouth that I realised what I was doing and stopped. “How dare you?” I accused him. “Don't pretend like you don't want me, Salma,” he said, looking into my eyes with unbridled lust. “Why do you have to be stubborn?” “I can't… I can't deal with you right now,” I said, trying to leave the room, but he had both his arms on the door while my body was stuck in between. There was nowhere for me to go. “We are going to stay here and fight this out,” he said, “you're not leaving until…” “So you're just going to kidnap me now? That's what you do now? Kidnap women?” “What is your problem Salma?” he demanded, “how come you're impossible to…” “I need to fucking leave so let me go,” I said, cutting him off, “if you

    SalmaI woke up the next morning groggy and even more exhausted than the night before. I saw the chandelier floating in front of my face and I was not immediately alarmed because it looked familiar. I had woken up in this bed before, even the bed felt familiar. I blinked several times, trying to wake myself up properly, then I stretched my right arm and I did not hit the bed—I hit something or someone hard. I turned, immediately alarmed, and right beside me was a man. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. I had somehow ended up in bed again with Brandon. I felt overwhelming shame at first that I had not had the self-control to push him away when he had kissed me. My head began to ring with a tremendous headache as flashes of the night filtered through my memory. I had been unable to sleep. Then I went downstairs, rummaging through the parking lot when I saw Brandon. Then we went for a late-night drive to clear our minds, somehow ended up in a bar to celebrate the transplant, then… “

    BrandonJosephine’s eyes were flashing with fury. I could not understand what I had done so wrong to deserve such a look from her. “I don’t understand,” and I was a little offended too. Since I had discovered that Leona had cancer, I had done everything I could to be there for her and our daughter. “If you are going to break her heart again, just let her be,” Josephine sounded frustrated too, “since I met her all she can do is talk about you and how you broke her heart but you did more than that, Brandon. You broke her and she was healing and then you come back into her life and everything goes downhill again.” “That is a bit of an unfair assessment…” “Is it?” she cut me off midsentence, “stop toying with her feelings, Brandon. She deserves better than that.” “I am not toying with her feelings,” I felt the need to defend myself. Josephine raised an eyebrow, “So what are you doing with her? Do you love her? Why won't you tell her why you left her abruptly five years ago?” “It's…

    Brandon“Don’t pretend like you give a damn about me,” Salma stormed off angrily. I looked at Elaine, wondering if she had no context for social and emotional cues. “I brought food for both of you…” she began to say but I cut her off, “never show up in front of Salma again. She’s been through enough.” I tried to walk away afterwards but she held onto my arm, “What about me?” she asked, “Have I not been through enough? What is so wrong about loving you?” I said nothing but only freed myself from her hold and walked out on her, hoping that I could still catch up with Salma. I got to her in time, just as she was about to enter a car. “Wait,” I said to her, “I’m sorry about…” “I don’t want to hear it,” she replied, “you’ve spent most of the day with me, you can go be with your pregnant fiancée.” “She’s not…” “I don’t care.” She was about to enter the car when I held her back by holding her hand, “What about my mom?” I asked, “Won’t you say hi to her?” I could see on her face tha

    SalmaIt was a very quiet three hours. Time passed slowly as the IV bag emptied. I watched in a blur as nurses came in and out of Leona’s room; as Dr. Hans walked in occasionally to check her vitals. I was scared. Scared that something could suddenly go wrong but nothing did. And when Dr. Hans finally announced three hours later that the transplant was done, I still did not sigh in relief. Instead, it was a different type of anxiety that clouded my thoughts. “Is that it?” Brandon asked quietly, still staring at Leona’s IV line as if expecting something more to happen. Dr. Hans nodded, “Yes. The infusion is complete.”Brandon and I exchanged looks before shifting our gaze to Leona. I looked at Leona. She was still asleep. She had not woken up even once this morning and that made me anxious even though I knew it was perfectly normal. “Why does it not feel like anything happened?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Dr. Hans gave a small, understanding smile. “The real work be

    Brandon“Is everyone ready?” asked Dr. Hans cheerfully as he entered Leona’s room in the morning. Leona was still fast asleep and so was Salma. I was the only one awake. “Late night?” he asked me and I nodded. Salma stirred in her sleep but did not wake up. “Can you proceed with the transplant?” I asked Dr. Hans. “Yes,” came his response, “but I need you both to change your gowns and masks. Do you wish to stay by her side while she's receiving donor cells?” I nodded a little bit too enthusiastically. “Yes,” I replied, “yes.” “We’ll soon be done collecting stem cells from Mrs. McClean,” he informed me, “I’ll be back within an hour to hook her up with an IV.” “Thank you, doctor,” I said, watching the man leave the room. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I stepped out to check if there was anything important that needed my urgent attention. It was Rose calling me. I answered on the first ring. “Rose?” “There’s a problem,” her voice sounded panicked. “What is it?” I asked. “O

    Salma I saw the punch coming but made no effort to sidestep. What I did not see coming though was the human shield in the form of Kane who took the hit for me instead of my pretty face. I heard Ariel gasp. She had just punched an attending and that would have severe consequences for her. “Dr. Ka

    SalmaMy blood went cold when I heard Brandon's name but I had a surgery to concentrate on. Even though I did not like the idea of Brandon with my little girl, she was safe with him for now.The second I was out of surgery, I searched for Dr. Allison so I could speak to Brandon. She gave me my phon

    Brandon I chuckled nervously as Mr. Summers made a joke I did not find funny at all. Things had been a bit awkward between us since he had flirted with Salma right in front of me. The tension had increased when he had tried to make me sell Leona-S to some shady people. In fact, I had avoided him s

    Brandon“Why can't you tell them you're at the hospital?” she asked me, her voice was still a whisper. “I just can't, okay?” I said, “Let's talk later.” I hung up the call and checked to see if Leona was still by my side as she had the tendency to disappear when she felt like it. “Do you have to
