AN UNEXPECTED CALL

Monday, September
Manchester 8:47pm

I  wake up to hear the vibration of my phone

Someone was calling me.

I fumble for my phone to check the caller ID.
It's my best friend, Rayan.
Of course It's him, It's only Rayan that has the audacity to  call someone at this hour of the night. 

As soon as I answer the call, Rayan's voice blasts through the screen.

"I need your help" He says, his voice coming out shaky. He sounds so anxious.

"What's up?, you are making me worried." I say

"It's Mom! She fainted in her room, I was so scared I didn't even check whether she was breathing. She is currently in an ambulance they are rushing her to the hospital. And they won't let me in, I don't know what's wrong with her. I don't even know if she's alive" he says all this in one breath, the last sentence coming out as a whisper.

"What do you mean she fainted?"

"I don't know Nadia, I need help. I'm so tired and confused" He says

"I'm on my way, everything is going to be alright. Just send me the address to the hospital you are taking her to and I wIll come as soon as possible." I say.

Rayan sends me the address to the hospital.

So I quickly dash into the bathroom, brush my teeth, and rush to my wardrobe to find something to wear.
I quickly settle for a black abaya and a Veil to match it.
On my way out of my room. I almost forgot my phone but I rushed back to pick it.

I dash down the stairs,  to greet my parents and siblings, then rushed a the kitchen , to get a bottle of water and an apple from the fridge.

Not for me to reach the front of the house and my step mom held my hand and said that where do I think I am going to without doing the house chores and I was like then what is the use of all the maids in this house and I snatched my hands away from her grip and hissed at her before leaving the house.

I rushed into my car and asked Musa, the gate man, to open the gate and I sped off.

       10 minutes later I arrived at the hospItal and as soon as I entered the reception I saw Rayan pacing and crying at the same time.

So I walked up to him and stood in his front placing my hands on his shoulders, as an attempt to show my support.

"You need to sit down and think, for the sake of both you and your mother."

When he finally sat down I squatted in his front, wiped his tears and I asked him what's wrong?

"I–I don't know. I j–just entered her room just to see her o–out c–cold on her bed, not m– mo… Moving." he says

"Look Rayan, everything is going to be okay, Rayan. If you keep on crying It's not going to help her. We just need to pray for her."

He then stands up and asks me to stay there, and to handle anything needed so he can go pray.

"No problem, go ahead."
    
Few minutes later the doctor comes out of Mama's room (that's what I calls Rayan's Mom) I quickly rushes up to the Doctor.

"What's wrong? Is Mama okay? How is she? Is she going to wake up? When can we see her? When will she be discharged? Is it serious?"

Before the doctor can even reply to one question I bombard him with another.

"I'm so sorry but I can't share any Information about her condition. I need to speak with her family first.''
The doctor says, empathy clearly showing on his face.
