She woke up to find herself lying so close to him and all she could recall was her food flask. She struggled to stand up but she couldn't because of the bruises on her legs and an ankle dislocation. 
Ohh my, how are you feeling now, are you alright, can you walk? He started asking her several questions but her mind was stuck on her lunch box, give it to me she managed saying. What? He asked, looking very confused, my food flask beside you, she answered.
Oh wait, is this girl really a human being, isn't she feeling any sort of pains in her body, look at how I ran into her but she’s still looking for her so called food flask, he thought.
Ya Allah help me out, oh you mean this, he said, pointing at a grey food flask, a water bottle beside it and a bobo drink in a basket, all packed together. Yes give it to me I need to go to school, I’m getting late she said grabbing on the lunch box. Hey are you alright? He asked, wondering what kind of girl she is. Can’t you see that you’re bleeding? You were involved in a car accident so I have to take you to the hospital before you start thinking of going to school, He said, trying to take her in his arms, but she pulled back saying am fine leave me alone, he did not listen to her, rather he took her up like a baby and started walking towards a black Audi Ar27.

can someone please help me open the door, he said, looking at his side, a 20 year old young boy opened the back door, there he gently dropped her on the backseat and ran to the driver’s side, he got into the car and drove straight to Al- Ameer hospital; his family's hospital, where she was immediately admitted in the Emergency ward.

*Ok, I know everyone is curious about this lunch box and all but just breathe in & out please, you’re about to find out what’s going on.*

After giving her anaesthesia, he head to the parking lot and left the hospital. It was 6:57pm when she woke up and her hair was all messed up. Ya rabbi what is happening to me, she said, scratching her messy hair with her right hand stuck with an intravenous medicine flowing from a drip, she looked around and realized she was in the hospital. Ohh my, what am I doing here, she cried, her eyes filled up with tears ready to drop down her cheeks, wasn't I going to school, she said, ummmmmma she shouted, her scream alerted the nurses and they quickly ran into the VIP room she was admitted in. Nurse what’s wrong with me? She asked, trying to remove the drip needle in her hand, take it easy, one of the nurses responded, you got into a car accident but you are going to be fine. How are you feeling right now? A slim and kind nurse asked her robbing her back, am okay, I just wanna go home she said sobbing. In a shaky voice, she asked, who brought me here? Surgeon Mubarak, he left for some work but he will be back soon I believe, the nurse answered. Can you borrow me your cell phone, she pleaded, yeah why not she put her hands in her lap coat pocket and brought out her iphone 6+, here, she handed it over to ZUBAINA, thank you, Zubaina echoed as she immediately starts to dial her mom's phone number.

Zubaina’s dad, Alh_kabeerTangaram walked into the living room to speak with his wife. Mamman zubaida, have we heard any news about this girl yet? He asked in a state of panic while sweating profusely, nothing yet but we have already notified the police about it Jafar just reported, she responded. Ya Allah ka zaba mana mafiAlkhairi he said wiping up his sweat with a Burberry designed hanky. But where could she possibly be? Nothing of such has ever happened with her, he said, dialling his phone. Maman Zubaina was sitting opposite him, with her eyes burning she was deep into her thoughts *ya Allah* she murmured.

It was a silent moment before Ateria ringtone took over the room, ohh, my phone, said maman Zubaina as she stood up, walking to the side of the TV stand where she dropped it. 
She grabbed the phone and saw "unknown number" on the screen, swiped the answer button and placed it over her ears Ummaaaaaa...., the voice on the other side screamed out, Zubaida, the mother said in a surprised tone, are you Ok, where are you, what happened to.... before she could get to ask the last question, Alh kabeer slipped the phone from her ears and placed it in his, Zubaina where are you? Disturbed Baba asked, he screamed again, where are you? I’m at the hospital, she said finally. What?? Why?? Which hospital??  I don’t know either, ask someone please, she turned looking at the nurse by her right who was adjusting the speed of the drip, it is Al- ameer, the nurse blurted, Al- ameer Baba. Ok, we are on our way he said, pressing the end button. Let’s go, he ordered mamman Zubaina and headed out
