Patience

chapter 2

The taxi came and we proceeded towards the hospital I didn't dare to ask anyone about papa
My mind was thinking about any least possibilities that could happen he may got sick or he may met a small accident or may be someone was got hit by papa and he took them to hospital but why anyone wasn't saying something. My sister was just sobing I wasn't asking her anything because I was sacred, hell noalot of scared that she may say something which I didn't want to hear
The car haulted in front of the huge hospital which was covered by blue mirrors people where rushing in and out of the hospital stretchers were being moved, ambulances were taking the patients out I just hate this site
My sister rushed inside leaving me and mama behind mama chased her after paying the taxi driver and I followed both of them Saliha went to reception and said "Waseem Ahmad?" the receptionist checked through the computer for a while and then those destructive words came out of her mouth which finished my life
"The one who got expired?"
I stood there dumbfounded how can she say that there must be some mistake she was wrong. This may be someone else. Idiot she was mistaken
They didnot know how to do there work properly thousands of positive thoughts came to mind but  destroyed in a clip of a second when I saw my mom nodding at her question and tears where all over her face
"He was shifted to morgue.  you can go there and identify the body" the receptionist said
Mom gestured me to come while I stood there shaking my head she came to me and held me by my both arms "Don't make this difficult for me. Just come we need to take papa home"
Mama said I can see the concern she held for me in her eyes but I couldnot do this I know I couldn't
I shrugged my arms from her grip and sat on the waiting chairs in front of reception while continously shaking my head indicating her that I'm not going to come at any cost
Not even a single tear was coming out of my eyes even though I was dying from inside. I waited for half an hour when a stretcher came in view my mom was standing beside it and my sister was leaning on it crying her heart out I stood from my chair and took a few steps towards the stretcher the body was packed with cotton and a white cloth and when I moved a bit forward I saw my dad's face
My breathing accelerated and river of tears brust out and the next thing I remembered was my mom yelling "ZAHRAAAA... " and with that everything went blank

When I woke up I found myself on my coazy bed. my head was hurting alot and my eyes felt alot heavy. The door of my room creaked open and I blinked my eyes multiple times to see who was there, when I found my aunty standing there with watery eyes and and pity radiating from her face.
I didn't want it, I seriously didn't want it I didn't want her to console me and talk to me
I wanted to be alone right now
"zahra my baby" she hugged me and was crying "I really don't know what to say I know what you are going through but trust me everything will be fine " she consoled me but I knew the truth nothing is fine nothing is normal and is not going to be anytime soon....
