Mentally Occupied

- Your statement does not sound very convincing to me. You are the son of Ashjan; is not it? I know that nurse doesn't want to help me and she got tired of me yesterday and told Dr. Sharif about not taking my medicine and what happened to my hand was because of her. Look.

She took her arm out of the window and lifted the sleeve of her shirt to show him that dark blue spots on it. She was not trying to arouse his sympathy for her, but she was trying to delay his conversation with him about what he lost due to her. Fouad looked at her in astonishment. She denied speaking after returning her arm to its normal position next to her:

- But I have no choice but to believe you anyway, Because I can't hear you.

- hear what?

- There is confusion.. I don't know the reason for it.

Fouad started rethinking, is she deaf and can't hear him? But how does she respond to his words and understand what he says! Perhaps she can read lips, but she answered him even though he spoke to her while he was looking around and she did not see his lips, so she hears him and yet she says that she cannot hear him, is this a riddle?! Malika did not answer him and jumped out of the window. He grabbed her hand and went together to the quiet back door.

He stopped looking at Malika. He was surprised by the way she responded, spoke, and realized what was happening around her, he said in a whisper:

- I'm going to pick you up now so you can jump out, okay?

- Well, how about you?

- I will go back inside To tell my mom it's done. Do you have a place to go after escaping from here?

- Not really, but I'm going to look for a temporary place to stay tonight.

Fouad looked into her eyes and asked:

- What about your old house?

Malika's eyes sparkled, then she answered him in a trembling voice, saying:

- No, I will not go to there.

Fouad looked at her eyes once again regrettably long and approached her. She thought he will carry her to jump up and evade out of that sanitarium hateful to her heart. But only at that moment was she able to hear him. Now she can hear what was going on in his mind, that ability that had completely ruined her life and made her lose herself over time heard him say to himself "I'm really sorry for what I did to you, but I had to do it for you, forgive me." Then she turned away from him and looked at him angrily shouting:

- You lie, who are you?

Fouad looked at her with astonishment and a strong question:

- what happened to you?

- Why are you apologizing to me? What did you do? Did my mother send you to kill me?

- what?! When did I apologize to you? Why would your mother kill you?

Suddenly the earth was split and two nurses came and grabbed Malika and pulled her inside again. She returned to her room, her heart split in two, after she thought that she would get rid of her confinement in that room. The two nurses dragged her hard. Fouad also agreed with Dr. Naim to put Malika in that case even Fouad can talk to her by his own way, but he was still amazed by many things. She told him a while ago. Did she really manage and be able to hear his ideas in his mind? He stood looking at her helplessly while she was screaming and looking at him angrily saying:

- Leave me, let me go.. I don't want to go back to that awful room.

- You are a liar and a deceiver.. I will never forgive you for this.. and I will undoubtedly take revenge on you.

They dragged her to the door of her room, pushed her gently inside and closed the door behind her, but she did not stop screaming for a long time.

Rufayda was not used to getting up early, she often wakes up a little before noon, she does not know the reason behind her intermittent sleep that night, in fact she knows but she tries to evade thinking about this, one day she met Malik at a friend's birthday party, she did not He lifted his gaze from her and continued to follow all her movements and stillness throughout the ceremony, and suddenly he approached her and asked her to dance. She did not mind. He charmed her with his looks and his follow-up to her.

There were many meetings between them until one day she dared to confess her love to him. He held her hand at that time and brought her close to his mouth and kissed her quickly. She got attached to him and thought that he was her property. They did not stop meeting and she did not stop telling her her love for him. The relationship got closer, but suddenly Malik felt apathy. This feeling arrived quickly, though she was young and did not go through many experiences, but inside her was a little woman who was able to understand the change of the man who was with her.

Anxiety and tension accompanied her from that moment on. She did not know the reason for his change and apathy, but she was confident that she would be able to get him back, even if it cost her to fight him personally.

Hana got up early. She was in a good mood but she was a bit anxious about the job interview so she tried to play a little time on her violin. It reduces her stress. Then she ate her breakfast, put on black pants and a pink jacket, and let her hair down because her mother always told her that she looked prettier like this. She was looking to the ground as usual on her way to the company. She tried as much as possible not to hit anyone by mistake. She was careful not to look anyone in the eyes of the passers-by, lest something unpleasant happen to her. When she arrived at the company she asked about the owner. The employee of the Information office guide her to a young woman who approached her and grabbed her hand while she was frowning. She thought that Hana was blind because she had not lifted her face from the ground since she entered the company. She led her to the door of Malik's office and told her that she was now right in front of the required office and left her. Hana knocked on the door and entered. She was still looking at the floor, Malik stood up. He had a friendly smile his co-workers weren't used to.

- Hana! How are you?

- Now I'm fine.

Malik walked towards her until he stood in front of her, saying:

- Try to look into my eyes, you may not see something.

Hana gradually started to raise her eyes up. She looked at Malik's face and waited for a while, but she didn't really see anything, she said with a gentle smile:

- Looks like today isn't your day.

- Didn't you see anything?

- Not fortunately.

Hana examined the office with her eyes and found it exactly as she saw it in her vision when she first met him. Malik interrupted her looks by saying:

- Doesn't it happen all the time?

- I can see for once only one per day and sometimes I don't see anything at all.

- Hana.. You must deal with people here and look into their eyes. It will not go this way. You have to face it.

She sighed and crossed her arms in front of her, saying:

- You don't know what it looks like command exhausting to see someone's future, they won't believe you when you tell them about. But you can't be silent and overlook either!

Malik sighed too, as he suffers from a similar problem and knows how people view everyone who has a special ability. They often do not believe him and always accuse him of being crazy or mentally ill. He said while trying to encourage Hana:

- I understand, but this is a workplace, not a jogging route or a shop where you can shop your needs and hurry up and leave, this is where you will stay most of the time! You also say that it is only one vision, perhaps the choice will not fall on someone here, and if the choice is made, the vision is good, not necessarily bad, and you should say it.

She smiled and said obediently:

- Yes you are right.. I will try, now tell me where should I go to apply for the job?

- You mean where do you have to go to pick up work?

- What does this mean?! Won't they test me first to accept the job?!

Malik laughed as he sat behind his desk and motioned for her to sit down. He said:

- No, I told them about you and they already agreed without the need for an interview. I hope you won't let me down in front of them.

Hana sat on the end of the chair in front of the desk and said:

- Thank you very much really.. you are a good person.

- I know this.

He said that and burst out laughing. She shared him laughing as she said confidently:

- No, I'm not that good.

- Seems like it would be best if you were interviewed first.

- Okay, okay, I was joking, don't be so serious.
