Chapter 15

Seandra

We were wrapping up on the set when Ahmad received an urgent phone call. I waited around to see what was going on. When he walked up to me I could see his weary facial expression.

I caressed his cheek. “Is everything okay?”

Tears filled his eyes, but they didn’t fall. Instead he took a deep breath and moved away from my touch. “Kristie’s in the hospital. She tried to kill herself, but she wasn’t successful.”

I was stunned, but then I thought about what my grandmother had said about the curse being reversed. Shit, I was at a loss for words. There was no way that I was going to tell him that his wife had put a curse on me and it’s reversal could’ve possibly been the reason behind her suicide attempt.

He ran his hand over his head and sighed. “I had tried to call her over the holidays, but she didn’t answer. Damn.”

Was I supposed to console him over another woman? At that moment I had no clue what my role was. Was I his girlfriend, or was I simply supposed be his friend at the moment? All I knew was the amount of love that I felt for him would allow me to be whoever he needed me to be. I reached out for him, but he moved away.

“Baby, I’m just trying to be here for you,” I said feeling confused by his reaction.

He turned his back to me and I could hear his intake of breath as he inhaled deeply. It was like he was trying really hard to control his emotions. I knew that he loved her, but I wasn’t prepared to see him take it that bad. To know that there was nothing that I could do made it hurt even worse.

“Talk to me Ahmad.”

“This is all my fault,” he said softly.

I closed my eyes knowing that it really wasn’t. I fought the urge to tell him the truth. “It’s not your fault.”

“Yes it is.” He turned to face me again. “If I hadn’t just rushed into a relationship before our marriage was over she wouldn’t have…”

“I know that your wife is in the hospital, but don’t insult what we have. What do you mean you rushed into a relationship? You’re the one who told me that it was more than one night. If you didn’t want this you shouldn’t have asked for it,” I snapped at him with an attitude.

He shook his head. “I’m just saying…”

“I understand that you’re going to feel responsible, but don’t blame our relationship for what Kristie decided to do to herself. She’s an adult and she’s accountable for her own actions.”

He nodded. “Yeah, well not every woman is as strong as you are Seandra.”

“What?” I asked getting more furious by the moment.

He shook his head in frustration. “I’m going to the hospital. I will call you later on.”

As he walked off I grabbed his arm. “Baby, don’t walk away like this. We need to talk.”

“Talk about what?” He yanked his arm away.
