(Pic of Aliyah's dad on the top.)
The doctor requested for my family to go out for a second so he could ask me a few questions."Aliyah ,right now the people that came in, as your family, what do you remember about them?" the doctor asked. "Absolutely nothing."I replied."What do you remember about your friends and your life?"he asked."I don't remember anything about my "friends", but I do remember the basic things like going to a mall, what a doctor is, eating a hamburger,what school is and those type of things." I said to him."I see, my theory is that since you hit your head in the car accident,that's why you lost your memory about people, like you know about the things you used to do , but forgot the people you used to is it with, like you said remembering to going to the mall, but forgot that you go to the mall with your friends." I sank in the hospital bed after hearing that, my memory was the most important thing what would I so without it?"Do you know when memory will come back to me?"I asked the doctor. "For some it takes days, for some weeks for some years; and for some people,unfortunately, never." I started to fear, what if my memory never came back? Don't think like that, think positive, Aliyah. "Is there anything that I can do to help return my memory"? I asked him. "Yes, you can, spend as much as time as possible with your friends and family, look at your pictures with them, ask them what you guys did together,ask about previous events, and go to the places you used to visit most often."the doctor said, then there's a better chance. "When will I get out of the hospital? I asked."As soon as your test results come." I'm going to call in your family, one by one, they will introduce themselves, and tell you how they're related to you." Is that okay with you, or do you want some time alone?"he asked."I think I'll like some time alone" I said to the doctor."Okay, just press this button when you're ready to meet them, okay?" "Yes doctor." I decided to sit and watch TV the remote was right by me, after one hour of watching an episode of Supernatural, and eating some chocolate yogurt I decided to ring the bell,(I mean it wasn't like I'd be able to avoid my family.) forever and tell the doctor I was ready to meet my "family" so I did it. In a few seconds the doctor was by me and said "Are you ready,?. "Yep, I guess." Okay let me go get them.
Doctor Wellington's POV
I was a little scared to see how Aliyah's family would react after seeing her and speaking to her. All of them had been crying and comforting each other, but Aliyah's mom was the worst, she was sobbing and saying "what if her memory never returns?" and sobbing. I went to them and said "Excuse me Mr.Ahmed, Aliyah is saying she's ready to meet you guys."Mrs.Ahmed leapt to her feet and said " Come on Hussain, what are you waiting for?" Her friends, Amiyah and Falah, I think, we're waiting but I told them to let Aliyah's family go first, they'd been crying as well, and their eyes were puffy and red. I led their family to her room, and told them " When you guys are going to greet her, introduce yourself first and tell then you relation to her, just like how a teacher would, because in her view you guys are tools strangers, so act like your meeting for the first time just with your old memories okay?"Yes, we understand Mr. Ahmed said. I led them and her father came first and said " Hi, Aliyah, I'm Hussain Ahmed, and I'm your dad." I was surprised that he was taking so calmly, which was good otherwise Aliyah would get confused. "Um, hi what should I call you? Aliyah asked. "You cns call me Dad." Ok, hi dad." The atmosphere was pretty awkward, but it's always like this whenever I person lose their memory, I was sure that normally Aliyah and her dad wouldn't greet each other like this. But if they greeted normally then Aliyah would get confused. Then next came her mother and said in a shaky but almost calm voice "Hi Aliyah, I'm Liyana Ahmed and I'm your mother." Hi, mom."You can call me mama that's what you used to call me. "Oh okay, Hi mama". The rest of her siblings greeted the same way. "Now let's talk Mr.Ahmed said
Assalamualaikum guys!
