Me and my sister rushed to the hospital. All that was going through my mind was why did Samra want to harm herself?
As soon as I entered the waiting room, I looked around for Choji and found him sitting down, looking straight at the ground. His knee was bobbing up and down and he was chewing on his lip.
I could tell he was nervous and impatient.
"Choji!" I called out to him and his head whipped in the direction of my voice. Once he saw me he jogged over.
"Hey." His voice was hoarse.
"How is she?" Diana asked.
"Well I caught her in time. they said she will be fine but that she needed to stay in the hospital because her body is weak." He sighed. "So they are still treating her."
I frowned. "What happened? Why did she try to do that?" I felt like the world was spinning. I was still shocked because Samra was always happy and I've never noticed her motives.
Choji's sighed. "She found out Kareem wasn't planning on becoming her husband. So she wanted to hurt herself so her parents could feel the pain she felt." He rubbed his face.
"Are her parents here?" I looked around but I didn't see any sight of them.
Choji nodded. "Yeah they came here earlier. Her mom left a mess. And her dad was just angry the whole time."
My eyes widened. "Why?"
Choji ran a hand through his already messy hair. "Well, at Amir and Kareem. He couldn't the sight of Samra being ill and blamed them when in reality he can't face that it was himself who lead Samra to do this to herself."
I frowned and waited for choji to continue on. I was curious as to where this story was going.
He finally did. "He was the real reason why Kareem split from Samra. He terrified Kareem and vowed to destroy his family legacy if he didn't stay away from Samra. He only wanted Amir to be her husband even though Samra made her feeling clear." He sighed.
I nodded as my mind drifted back to what Kareem told me just moments ago. I felt horrible and guilty that Kareem said he genuinely liked me. Was this my fault? Did involuntarily cause issues between Samra and him?
Choji watched me as these thoughts crossed my mind. "No." He finally said. "You're not."
My jaw dropped. "Wait, how d"
Choji rolled his eyes. "I've only been friends with you for eight years." He scoffed.
I smiled weakly. "Yeah."
Choji clapped his hands. "Why don't you guys go home? I'll stay with Samra and once she's out I'll let you guys know."
Me and Diana looked at each other. "I want to make sure that she's fine. I don't want-"
"Are you all Samras friends?" A soft female voice spoke from behind me and I quickly turned around.
It was Samras mom who I've never seen on real but only on the internet. I quickly nod. "Yes."
She let out a breath. Her eyes were framed with dark circles and her skin was tired as was her frizzy hair. She looked so fragile. "Is there anything we can do for you?" I continued but she shook her head.
"No." She sniffed. "I'm just glad Samra has friends who worry about her." She weakly smiled. "Her and her father have been fighting a lot recently."
I felt my chest deflate. I felt so sad that her mom felt like this and had to go through this experience. "I hope she comes out stronger and that everything works out." I smiled weakly because I didn't know if I could hold that promise. It just felt like the right thing to say.
