Patience

chapter 1

"paaaaa"
"Papaaaa" I yelled on top of my lungs when I get back home from college I'm mad at papa I'm not going to talk to him ever he promised me he'll pick me up but he didn't come
"zahra would you please stop shouting." my sister said while sitting on the couch watching TV
"where is Papa? " I asked her didn't caring about what she said
"zahra shut up is this how you supposed to speak?" mom scolded me what the hell is wrong with everyone only papa can understand me where is he? 
I ran back to my room changed into my pyjamas and came down while dialing papa's number
"come here and eat" mom ordered me
"No I will not eat unless papa come" I said while giving every inch of attention on dialing papa's number
"For Allah sake zahra he's busy and you are no more a kid stop being daddy's girl all the time he has his own life apart from you" my sister said being irrated by me I know she really get pissed off by me getting stuck to baba all the time and she is jealous as baba loves me more but I can sense that she was a little worried right now
"so you again fought with your husband??" I asked her getting a bit calm
"zahra" mama scolded
"that's non if your Buiseness you are young so just know your boundaries" my sister spat at me
My sister, Saliha loves me I know it's just that she really get annoyed whenever she have a fight with her husband and me being the youngest in my family was supposed to stay our of these matters
Examining the heated atmosphere of the living room I decided to go back to my room and laid on my bed
"when will you come papa?" I mummerd to myself I miss him
My papa loves me more than anything in this world although I am 20 now he still treats me like I'm 2 years old
Baba and I don't eat unless we are together except for the  times when he is in office. I still sit in his lap even though now I'm a little big for that
The sleep was about to consume me when someone banged on my door it felt like it would break at any moment I immediately got out of my bed and rushed to open the door
My sister stood there breathing  and crying heavily like someone was about to snatch her soul
"what happend?? " I asked being panicked and hugged her

"Papaaa.......paa.... Papaaa" hardly any words where getting out of her mouth I was sacred. Sacred as hell I was trying to understand what she was saying when a voice gave me shivers
"ZAAAAAHHHHHHRAAAAAAA" mama yelled
I instantly left my sister and came down "Ya Allah mama what happened? Where is Papa? "
Where is Papa?? where is Papa ?? I was asking that again and again like my life depended upon it
My mom was crying tears were streaming down her face and there wasn't anyway they were going to stop
"Put on your hijab we need to go to the hospital " she said being as normal as she could "SALIHAAAAA COME DOWNNN"
That was the moment when my life took a pause everything seemed to be getting vanished.. And it did my life took a 360 degree turn and that was the time when I faced the harsh reality of life
