Chapter Fifteen – He Was Gone

(Ayaat's Pov)

I twist and turn in bed trying to sleep but I couldn't. I couldn't sleep. I had to see him. Komal didi was right, I had to see him.

They can't take him off life support!

How can they do this, how can the doctors just give up!

How can he give up!

I got out of bed and watched Atif sleeping soundly.

I quickly change and head downstairs into the kitchen. I pour myself a glass of water and think again if I should go or not. I knew if I didn't go now I would definitely regret it later on so I wore my shoes and head outside.

As I entered the streets, the lights were dim, barely anyone was around. I saw a yellow cab passing by and I called out, he stopped and I took a seat inside telling the driver to take me to Westmield Hospital.

Ya Allah please give me strength, enough strength to let him go. I pleaded inside my head.

"Ma'am" I heard the cab driver speak interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked lost.

"We're here." He replied

I smile at him and hand him the money, opening the door and walking out of the car I stare at the entrance of the hospital. Hesitantly I walked inside, taking small steps down the hallway.

I knew the room number, it was the same, it has always the same.

Number 102.

I was near it but I didn't want to move further.

No perhaps this is a wrong idea. Maybe I should head back!

"Ayaat, is that you?"

I heard someone speak interrupting my thoughts, I turn around to see Dr Hussain.

His eyes widened as he saw me.

"Wow, it's been years, you've grown up so much," he spoke looking at me.

"How, how have you been?" he asked

I put up a smile and replied "Allhumdulilah."

He smiled at me and spoke "you haven't changed a bit, the same Ayaat who I remember."
