Two in Body ; One in Soul

Chapter 9: Why?

Sameer rushed to the main door of his house. Everything around him looked so changed. It's because he hadn’t been home for such a long time. He started staring and blinking around. Suddenly his father's moaning sound came from inside. Sameer came back to his sense and hurriedly entered his house and rushed to his father.
His father was at his dead bed then. Sameer hugged his bed lying father.
Sameer: I'm sorry Dad, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry! I was too busy with my work. So I couldn’t give you enough time in these few months. I'm sorry dad...
Sameer's voice turned slow and heavy. His eyes started to fill with tears and teardrops fell upon his father's face.
His mother was staring at them.
Mother: Not getting you at the phone, your father called at your office. One of your colleague named Zohan received the call. He said that you had gone outside. He didn’t know when you would return as you had went with one of your friend named Zain. He said, you often cut your free time and go out with him. Who is he? He matters more to you than your family!
Sameer looked at his mother with a strange look in his eyes.
Mother: Why are you looking at me like this? Have I asked anything wrong?
Sameer lowered his head and took out a deep sigh.
Sameer: He's my good friend. But what you are saying... It's not something like this...
He looked at his father with pitiful eyes. He was going to say something but his lips paused at the air.
Sameer's father gripped Sameer's hand lightly
and started to moan in his deadbed.
Father(murmured): Sameer, son! I gave you opportunity to work there to have a good life and take care of us. But, see, I'm dying due to not having proper care from you. If you’ve come very often, I might not have been sick. This day wouldn’t have appeared. I know that I'll die very soon...
Sameer interrupted and with in a blink, kept his hand on his father's mouth.
Sameer: Please don’t say that, dad! Everything will be alright. I'll take you to hospital.
Sameer's father moved Sameer's hand from his mouth.
Father: Let me say. What if I don't get the opportunity to say it later! Sameer! Promise me, you'll take care of your mother, at least on behalf of me. And that Zain! If you weren’t with him, this day wouldn’t have appeared. Our family was too happy before that Zain's arrival into your life!
Sameer: Dad! (Voice turned low) Dad... You don't know, how much he had helped me. Please don't say like that about him..
Father: Why shouldn't I? What I'm saying, is any of them false? Can you prove any of them wrong?
Sameer's father got so tempered and angry. It made his condition worsen.
He pulled Sameer near to him.
Father(in a tired voice): Promise me, you’ll never long your friendship with him. Break it, at the sake of Almighty, and take care of your mother. I wished to see your mo...
No...No more word! Sameer's father's voice stopped at the middle of his saying.
Sameer started to shake his father's face.
Sameer: Dad? Dad! Da-a--aaad!

Sameer and his mother broke into tears.

Ahmed was moved to the ward, the bed beside Zain. The nurse set the blood in Ahmed's hand and stopped the saline of Zain's hand and after checking the ward, he left.

Time passed...
_
At midnight, Ahmed got back his sense. A dim light was on in the middle of the ward. He looked aside in that less brighter light and saw someone lying on the bed beside him. He started to blink to clear his focus, and saw that Zain was lying on the bed after him. A saline bag was hanging on a stand beside Zain's bed and there was a canola in his hand.
Ahmed looked at himself and got surprised.
One of his knee was bandaged. Both of his elbowsides were bandaged too. And a bag of blood was being given to him.
Ahmed(to himself): It's a hospital, right? Why am I in a hospital? Why is this man here too?
Ahmed looked at Zain's hand and twisted his eyebrows.
Ahmed: What happened to him?
He looked deeply, there was a bandage on Zain's hand.
Ahmed looked at the bag of blood hanging on a stand next to his bed.
Ahmed: He gave me the blood!! Ha..? Why? What happened to me?
Ahmed tried to recall what happened. A flashback passed through his mind. He was driving his car and going back home. Suddenly this man appeared, whom he had seen in a restaurant before. He let go of the steering wheel and his car crashed with a big tree. Someone was trying to break the glass of the car.

Ahmed(In a stunned voice): The accident wasn’t my dream, it was the reality!

He again tried to remember. Someone was trying to break the glass of the car. He slowly unlocked it. Someone opened the door in a flash and getting into the car within a blink of an eye, carried him. He couldn’t remember more.
Ahmed: Then? What happened then? How did I come here? He rescued me! But I can't remember anything! What happened after that?
Ahmed’s head started hurting. He hold his head with two hands and started to moan.
A nurse, sitting at the table of the ward, noticed it. He rushed to see what happened. When he saw that Ahmed had woke up, he called another nurses.
Ahmed was acting fiercely. The nurse got frightened at that sight. It was seem like Ahmed would destroy everything near him. He was trying to move the bandage on his head forcefully.
The nurse tried to stop him. But Ahmed started to scream out of pain. The nurse stopped in his position.
The doctor and the nurses came and according to the situation, they injected Ahmed with a medicine so that he could calm down fast and rest well more. Then gradually Ahmed calmed down and fell asleep.
Letting everything in position, they went back to their work.
