Rahma

Chapter 4~pain

Rahama got out of the school building the 5 o clock sun was shining on her making her appear somehow red her beautiful clear skin was glowing ,she was absolutely stunning some of the students walking by thought she walked to her car as she entered she took out her phone to take a selfie she smiled sending it to her friend /cousin maryam ,she started the engine and drove out of the school parking lot ,
On her way home maryam thought about her dream once again how she'll make her parents proud it was her only goal now she mumbled "ya Allah help me achieve my dream help me make my parents proud they've done everything for her they provided and fed her ,her whole life the least she could do was study hard that's all her father wanted and a promise she gave to him last year she wondered what he'll ask her oh well whatever it was she would surely do it for her father ,she arrived home the gate man opened the gate and she drove into her fathers big house .
She found her mom in her fathers living room sitting on the couch watching her favorite cooking show baking with anna Olsen her mother loved to cook and bake it was her passion she tried new ideas almost everyday

They exchanged greetings and rahama went upstairs to change she was so hot and tired she needed to shower and pray first

*****************************

Bilal ran into the hospital as fast as he can he halted in his track remembering he had no idea where they were he dialed Ayesha's number his fingers trembling from fear and anxiety

"Where are you guys ? "

"Room36" she replied from the other side

As soon as bilal got to the room he halted at the door he was scared to enter he took a deep breath and slowly opened the door his eyes connected with his mom's she didn't look sad but she didn't look happy either on the other side of the room was aysha sitting on the bed holding ahmad hams who seemed to be not dead hopefully he rushed inside quickly sitting on the chair next to the bed he tilted aysha' s head to look at him as she looked in too her big brothers eyes a new set of tears rolled down her cheeks her lips trembling as pulled him in to a hug

" bilu he's Been unconscious since yesterday and the doctors can't do much for him we're just waiting for him to wake up she said In one breath ,

Bilal rubbed his sisters back to lessen her pain as she shook in his arms his heart squeezed as he looked at ahmad again ,his eyes began to tear up no no he couldn't cry in front of her he told himself ,he had to stay strong for her and his nephew

Normally when ahmad was in crises he'll fall unconscious for like 2 hours but he's been unconscious for almost 24 hours so he understood why aysha was extremely worried she was always worried

" why wasn't I told yesterday? "He asked frowning as he tried so hard not to let a tear fall

" it was around 10 we were watching trollz since it was a Saturday but he suddenly screamed in pain and fell on the floor unconscious I panicked and I picked him up got here as quickly as I can " aysha finished trying not to sob

His eyes softened at his little sister , at 25 she's suffered so much she's lost weight and her skins was so dull for the past 2 years she hasn't herself

" where's imam? He asked

" he went out for a bit aysha mumbled playing with Bilal's soft curly hair smiling weakly Ashe caressed his face

He blamed imam for everything he hated the man he's putting his sister through hell if only they had blood test before the got married but he insisted that he was AA and turned out he was AS when bilal found out ahmad was a sickle cell he had almost killed the bastard

Bilal turned to his mother who had been silent the whole time her tasbah on her other

"Mama barka da yanma (good evening ) "he greeted going down as a sign of respect she patted his head and continued with her tasbaha (supplications) he went out to get something for them to eat he went down to the parking lot and drove out

**************************

"Noooo please I'm too tired to go with you I got back from school like an hour ago my head is aching "rahama said whining she went back to bed and covered her self with the duvet

samira her big sister dragged her out of bed again " Wallahi you must escort me that's it come on get up " samira said entering her closet to get something for her to wear she chose a black abaya with white lines when she came out of the closet rahama was on the floor she covered herself once again when she saw samira

" rahama! " Samira shouted she was now angry " you still act like a child your 22 abeg get your ass up !!" She finished throwing her the abaya she chose

Rahama pouted she had no choice she stood up and wore the abaya she looked for her glasses and headed downstairs with samira behind her her sister always did this to her she was always her plus one at parties ,events ,weddings they said she stayed at home to much so they always make her go out with them she glared at her sister for the third time

Samira smacked her with the feeding bottle she was holding

"Owww!!! Yaya! It hurts " rahama said rubbing her arm she collected baby fadeel from her as they went outside samira started her car and gestured for rahsma to get in and they drove out

********************
Rahama hated the hospital because it had this smell she really hated she scrunched up her nose as they made their way inside the hospital building
" where are we going she asked for the 10th time ?

"We re going to visit my friend her son is sick okay ???? Now shush samira replied

They located the room and knocked

" Come in "a voice said from inside

The got in to the large hospital room why was the room so big rahAma thought she spotted her samira's friend and at the far end was a lady In a hijab her head was down they dropped the basket near the bed

Rahama greeted aysha and looked at the child on the bed he looked so familiar he was also so cute she prayed for him to get well and she took a plastic chair and sat down she played with areef as she made faces for him and laughed his baby laugh ,
Suddenly the door went wide open startling her , she immediately looked at the door her eyes connected to a pair of really brown eyes he seemed surprised And confused at the same time , she tilted her head trying to figure out where she had seen him before he was still looking at her his eyes held her eyes , she couldn't look away his mouth opened a little like he wanted to say something but nothing came out , who was this man ? and why was he looking at her like that she thought
