"What!"

-I had already seen a whole lot of emotional drama back at my village--but guess what, now I had to bear one more shot.


This old lady went on pleading me for help, and chanting "Abraham don't close your eyes, please...don't!!" I know he was in pain but I din't know how to help.

Maybe I should call someone for help; 1122 or hospital or Idk who..?!!

A thought did cross my mind to step back and leave all alone without any help--yet again It was not me.


They were not supposed to be left helpless amid this dark hour...and at that moment I mustered up the courage and with the help of this pretty old lady we managed to put him in the car.

Yes! I was determined to save his life and bring a smile over the face of that old lady. It was the only moment I din't wanna think about myself anymore.

 
As I flashed an eye outside the car I saw no one...but the existence of dark and cold night was all I could feel at the moment.

"Relax!! He will be fine"-I only found these words to make her feel fine.

"It is winters and he usually gets chest and lung allergies during this time of the year. But I never thought his allergy could make him suffer this much today." She was almost in tears to share that.

Miss, where can we find the nearest hospital?? tell me fast so we get there ASAP.

Just take left and then go straight and you will see a board of the city hospital-the lady was sounded sorrowful while stating that.

As soon as we reached the hospital, everything was under control. Mr. Abraham was being medicated while his lady had my support outside his room.

While I was making up for my wasted energy by taking tea..in the hospital's cafe, I heard someone whispering 'thank you!'

As I turned back It was the old lady again. She hugged me as soon as I got up from my seat. She was emotional once again.

Hey, Miss! Please,do not cry--your handsome is all okay and he will be discharged in few hours--the doctor has assured me.-I tried to cheer her out.

She was quiet.

My child...May I know your kind name?

Sorrry, yes sure...It's Dua!-Err, first time felt awkward saying my name!

Dear Dua, thank you for saving us-she acknowledged.

But, I just, speaking, helped Mr. Abraham‽ Right‽ -humanity you know-I asserted.

She smiled...

Yes, but technically you helped Mr. Abraham and Mrs. Abraham, both...am I right‽
 

Haha...-I smiled back.

So, Ma'am...If it's okay with you may I ask, what's Mrs. Abraham's name?

(Nice switch from Miss to Ma'am there I noticed)

Oh dear...ahah...it's Sukaina.-She replied.

Ms. Sukaina, sorry for acting weird before. I was just having too much to deal with.

No, please! don't be sorry...we all have the right to act and react over whatever we feel...you did the same. Instead sorry Dua, for you had to get stuck with me and my husband, and this whole traumatic thing.-She definitely seemed sorry.

Nah, Ms. Sukaina...I can't say much but I felt good doing what I did.-I said what I meant.

Mr.Arbraham was discharged and I drove them home. Mrs. Abraham and I made him reach home safely--and with that led him to his bedroom--to enjoy a peaceful slumber.

Ms.Sukaina seemed exhausted so did I--the fatigue and exhaustion were pretty obvious from my face.

I had no stamina for another drive and maybe Ms. Sukaina did assume so--Because she opened a door to her guest room and asked me to take rest...she denied all sorts of excuses I made. Clearly, she was right so without uttering a single excuse I thanked her and headed to the guest room.

It was her generosity to let a stranger stay in her house...but again I wasn't any dangerous stranger right‽-I wondered in my head.

I know I had the worst day of my life...since I had to let go of my family...however, encountering Mr. and Mrs. Abraham, things did change for me a bit or to put it like this...yes, my heart and mind were at peace--even if it was just for a day.

I know my decisions were hard on my people but I couldn't let my dreams die for anybody.

And yes...same with this incident--I don't care what past had I left behind and whatever I was going through--It was the right moment to help someone in need and I did that.

Yeah, I left my village and people for my dreams yet again I stayed to help this couple instead of going far to chase my dreams. weird right, just weird.

It seems like my life is a voyage that topples in ways and degrees whenever the waves of emotions rush my way--leaving me surprised just like today.-Realization at that very moment before I went asleep.
