A happy ending?

I tell her everything

After a few days the doctor allowed me to go back home.

Last time when the doctor told this to a patient the patient he was very happy but when he told me that I can go home suddenly the image of my gloomy house came to my mind. It feels like a grave built like a house.

When we got home abra and fariha also came along with me.

'you have moved into a new house? You never mentioned that.' - fariha

'hmm...ya.' This clearly showed my disinterest into explaining why we moved in but fariha was never good at getting the hints.

'this is such a nice home. It's huge and has a nice location, in the best area of the city.'

She has starting to annoy me now.

While peeking out of the window she said ' wow! It has such an amazing view. Why you didn't mentioned about moving in this house it is so cool'

'BECAUSE WE ARE HERE DUE TO THE GODFORSAKEN PATHETIC PLAY THAT LIFE IS PLAYING WITH US.' I yell out my anger on her.

'whoa how could your life be miserable if you are living in such a nice house in a posh area?'

Fariha asks me the question that anyone else would because I sound like the most ungrateful person in the world.

'you won't understand. Let it go.'

'Okay' - She didn't ask me further anymore questions because she knows that I have not recovered from my accident yet.

It's 8 PM and we are all having a conversation meanwhile fariha gets a phone call and it's from her father. I am sitting right next to her and his father id so loud that I can hear him.

'Where are you?' – he asks

'Dad I told you that I will be having a sleepover at hina's place. Remember?

'Well I remember not to give you the permission for a sleepover and you promised to return before 7 and it's 8 right know. I want you be home before 8:45.'

'But dad ple...

And he hanged up.

'I hate him so much. – Fariha

'What are you saying Fariha? Don't you think you should be more respectful towards your father?' I am mad at her for being so disrespectful.

'NO! he hates me and that is the reason that I hate him back. My step mother has taken him away from me and I don't want to talk to him anymore.' – Fariha

'You said it yourself that your stepmother is the wrong person than why you hate your father?'

'For believing her. He could talk to me about stuff but he will not because he believes everything she tell him' - Fariha

'You are her daughter you dumb shit. No matter what he loves you and even if he don't that could be because of your behavior also.'

'You cannot talk to me like that. You know nothing. No one can fix anything now.' – Fariha

'At least he is alive!' I tell her this to explain that everything can be fixed because she can talk to him and will be able to have answer at least. But she was not ready to listen to me and she left. This conversation made me mad as well so I got up and went to the roof top again and abra came following 'Hina that's not how you should talk to your friend. She was sad already that she has to leave and you talked to her so rudely.' – Abra

'Yeah right. I am the wrong one I am always wrong that's why everyone hates me.' I broke down into tears while saying that.

Abra looks into my eyes and says 'tell me what exactly has happened to you.'

I kept crying

'leave me alon..'

' no I am not tell me everthing you get that? Tell me why you are so depressed.

Tell me why you are so rude to everyone.

Tell me why you have changed so much.

Tell me why you tried to kill yourself!' - Abra

I looked up to the empty sky and gathered the courage to let my heart out maybe this is the only way I can get rid of the guilt that is making my heart heavy as a mountain.

And then, I spoke up

'It all started a year ago when one day when I returned from the college I saw everyone was a little stressed out Mom was nowhere to be seen I asked my sister that where is she told me that mom got hospitalized.

'what? Why? When?' I asked her. Meanwhile dad entered and aeesha, my elder sister asked him what the doctor said.

'He said that she's suspicious of..Of..Cancer.'

My world stopped. I stood there in shock. This word 'Cancer' scared me. The things this disease has done to people terrifies me.

I step backwards, entered my room and shut the door. I am shocked that how such a thing can be happened to us? We have already suffered a lot in life especially last year, it was torturing as hell and now this? Cancer?

Tears started running down my face.

No this cannot happen she will be alright nothing will happen to her she is just suspicious of cancer her reports will be alright I know that. When I come out of my room aeesha told me that we are going to visit mom in hospital.

When we reached there and opened the door of her room mom suddenly broke into tears.

I tried too hard not to cry because I know that if she'll see her kids crying she will even lose the last bit of hope left in her heart. I sat beside her in silence. So does wahaj but aeesha kept talking as she has her own ways into comforting someone.
