"Zyn is right, am going to explain it" said yazeed

"Okay, am listening please you can start"

"Mr Rheema, you've to abide by certain rules to keep your health away from deteriorating"

"Comon doctor everything will be fine ,I hardly break any rules you gave concerning my drugs or diets . But anyway, I will still try and be extra careful, so goodbye I'll see you next time" the gentle old man with soft brown eyes and grey hair said to the doctor sitting opposite him

"Sure,please take your drugs on time" said the doctor

Mr Jalil Rheema walked out of the doctor's office,walking through the corridor he almost bumped into someone who's having a call

"Oh sorry I wasn't checking the way cause I was reading this prescription..."

"Oh Mr Rheema it's you" said the tall middle aged man in suit

"Mr Sultan Malik you're the one, what are you doing here, hope all is well" asked Mr Rheema softly in a worried tone

" yeah, everything is fine, I came to visit a friend's child who has been in this hospital for quite some time now,and you?" Mr Sultan asked

"Of course it's the usual check up"

"I hope you're taking care of your body Mr Rheema, you know health is very tricky"

"It's normal after all the human lifespan is not very long" Mr Rheema lamented with a chuckle

"Hmm so when are you leaving?"

"Am leaving now, so see you in the city"

"Okay Mr Rheema, safe trip I'll be heading home later"

Mr Rheema walked out of the hospital, on sighting the older man the driver opened the car door for him to step in

"We're going to wait for Jackson, he's collecting the drugs for me " said Mr Rheema from the backseat

"Okay Sir" the driver answered

After about five minutes, a tall muscular man dressed in black suit with a pair of black shoes and eyeglasses came into view

Mr Rheema slide down the window glass and said "have you gotten it Jackson?"

"Yes Sir" answered the man who was referred to as Jackson

"Then enter the car we don't have all the time "

"Okay Sir" he stepped into the passenger seat and sat down stretching his suit,the driver drove the car leaving the hospital behind.

Back inside the hospital in one of the rooms, Mr Sultan sat on a chair close to the bed where a little boy laid down on the bed sleeping peacefully with an innocent looks as if he wasn't the one in pain some minutes ago

"So what's the child's condition, what did the doctor said about it?" Mr Sultan asked

"His condition is better than the last two months ago " the kid's father answered sitting at the edge of the bed stroking his child's hair

"I hope all goes well with his health"

"I hope so too, when are you leaving?"

"I guess now, so we'll talk over the phone sometime"
