LOST

Chapter 9 : A Journey To Heal

Haya's POV

After convincing Sarah to send my belongings, money and important document I packed my belonging along with Amma to prepare myself for a trip to find myself. I hope I find what I am looking for.

After packing I went to buy all the things I need to buy before leaving for Skardu. Our flight for Skardu was at 2pm. Hamza Bhai (brother) dropped us on the airport.

I was for first time travelling to some village area in Pakistan. I was so busy in exploring other countries that I forgot that I have a beautiful country.

As our flight landed in Skardu, Hamza Bhai already booked a taxi for us to drop us at home.

Passing by the field was an amazing feel that I never experienced. My heart was filled with joy. Moreover Skardu was known for its amazing lake it possessed. Most amazing thing was that , Amma's house was closed to a river. I always loved water. No mattered how much I am depressed water always made me feel good.

Here Amma had a beautiful small open house with a small garden in front of it. It had a big apple tree and some small rose plants here and there.

I never have been in a place like this before. It was most beautiful place I have ever seen.

For today we did nothing, we just ate and went to sleep in our respective rooms.

At night I woke up randomly. My room was pitch black. Seeing no light my heart started thumping loudly and body started shivering. I was afraid of dark which only Amma or Sarah knew. I placed my hand on my widely beating heart I called for Amma.

" Am...mma! Amma!" My voice quivered as I called her.

" Ammaaa! " My lips wobbled due to fear.

In less than a minute my room door opened and Amma came in with a candle in her hand.

" You got scared of dark huh " She said moving towards me.

I nodded.

" I thought your fear would go away when you grow up but you are still afraid of it. " She chuckled shaking her head.

" Why is it so dark here? I didn't turn off the light when I went to sleep. " I asked.

" Light has gone that why it's not working. Here light goes after every 2 hours. " She said while placing the candle on the table.

" Oh! What I will do when it goes at night I hate dark. " I said as I laid back down whilst Amma sat beside me.

" I will place a torch besides your bed so that whenever light goes my little Haya could turn it on instead of shouting my name in the middle of night. " She chuckled more caressing my cheek.

" Ammaaaa " I whined.

" Okay okay I won't tease you. " Amma she said while pinching my nose.

" I wonder what you did when I was not with you. " She asked laying besides me like old times.

" Don't even ask that." I chuckled remembering old days " I used to sleep with lights on but when light used to go due to rains I used to call Sarah just like I called you today and she would open my rooms door with a pillow and a torch in her hand. Even though she was 4 years younger than me I used to call her every time when I was afraid. "

" Poor girl. Who is she? " Amma asked .

" After you left we appointed a another care taker for the house and she is her daughter but now she works too to support her education. " I said as a yawn escaped from my mouth.
