Just as the words left the doctor's mouth Adal stared at him blankly, right now he just wished he was dreaming and if it were a dream he wants to wake up as soon as possible.
He had even forgotten the doctor was still in the room though he was looking directly at him, until the doctor decided to speak up that was when he'd remembered and realized he had tears in his eyes.
''You have to be strong Mr Adal, i know you muslims are taught to accept destiny, do you want me to tell this to your wife or any of your family members?''he asked.
''NO!don't tell Afreen, don't, don't tell anyone ''he said immediately.
''Okay,but you know you will have to tell her right? If not your family she has a right to know''the doctor said and Adal looked at his badge.
''I know dr.coloso, thank you. Please excuse me for sometime i want to be left alone and please, don't let anyone in till I'm ready, tell them I'm sleeping or resting or anything ''Adal said turning away and the doctor nodded and patted his shoulder before exiting the room.
As soon as Afreen saw the doctor coming out of the room, she stood up and hurried towards the room but he stopped her from entering.
''I'm sorry ma'am you can't go in right now?''the doctor said and she looked at him in confusion.
''What do you mean by i can't go in?''she asked.
''Because I've given him a sleeping dose and if he gets disturbed right now it might harm his health ''this was the best he could come up with, he could see the love in their eyes and he knew she wouldn't do anything that would harm him in any way, this was the least he could do for him.
''Oh okay, I'll let him rest''Afreen said sighing as she turned back and walked away.
He felt numb, he felt sad, angry, disappointed but most of all guilt that he just snatched away her happiness of being a mother, he couldn't face her right now, not now not ever, what would he possibly tell her?
'Afreen I'm sorry but your dream of having a princess and prince to play with will never come true???'
'Afreen i would never be able to give birth '
'I'm sorry you won't be a mother????'
He already felt dead thinking about all these. What would he do.
He sat up and stared at the door, he had heard the conversation between the doctor and her and he knew her too well to know that she just didn't want to argue with the doctor and knew he wasn't sleeping or anything but just didn't want to see anyone, he felt even more guilty pushing her, but that is the best he could do.
He decided that if he is going to tell her this then he would have to push her away completely, he wouldn't be able to do it, it would kill him inside but he loved her too much to snatch away her happiness.
He had to let her go.
He picked up his phone and went straight to his pictures and stared at her for long, it felt like forever until his phone began ringing.
Mom
He wasn't ready to talk to her, or anyone for that matter so he just dropped the phone aside and laid down looking up to the ceiling.
He knew this wasn't the best way to handle problems, but he was still in shock that he couldn't cry, he couldn't really cry to remove all the pain and heaviness in his heart.
As time went by he was just there in his hospital room and bed.
''Afreen baby, Assalamu Alaykum ''afreen rose her head to see her mother in law approach her looking worried.
