Andalus's POV
One word explained yesterday, HORRIBLE!
What happened yesterday was that we had a car accident, but hey calm down! I'll explain everything.
So, yesterday after I finished my exam ( the one that Aya told us to study for ) I felt so tired. I was as usual sitting with Lisa and discussing the exam's questions and then the fatigue started occupying me. I couldn't concentrate nor walk so I told her to call my brother Rayan, she insisted on calling my mother but I told her it's better to not freak her out.
Moments later my brother came and wanted to drive me home but I told him to take me directly to the hospital.
" Do you still feel the pain?" he asked worried.
" A lot of pain." I said helpless and then started reading Quran inside my heart. I was satisfied moments later but Rayan shifted my mood all of a sudden.
"Hilal arrived yesterday!" he said teasingly, apparently from his voice he was trying to make me smile.
I'm not in the right mood for that Hilal. I whispered to my own ears.
"And so?" I said with a grin.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he said, quitely.
I was silent for a moment not knowing what to say.
"Don't talk about Hilal." I finally said.
"Why?" he asked not looking at me.
"Because I'm not in the right mood to talk nor think about him." I said aggressively.
"But isn't he going to be your husband?" he asked.
"I said I am not in the right mood don't you understand?" I lost control and yelled at him like a crazy maniac.
My brother stopped there watching me with his eyes, widely opened. I looked directly at my window so not to make an eye contact with him.
"A lot is waiting for him." Rayan said with a pity.
"I said stop it" I yelled, hitting the window with all the strength that I had and then there it all happened. A car that seemed to be racing in Fast and Furious came towards us in unexpected way, all I could remember was our car turning around and around and the sound of the car's horn was hitting my brain cells, annoyingly.
Pain, pain, pain and pain. If I could I would write the word pain instead of every word written here, I would even name this chapter pain.
I was lost in my own galaxy. The cold, bleak one inside my head, and I was the only star roaming there. But this loneliness seemed to have an end as soon as another star, which seemed to be lonely, too, came towards me and followed me. I then opened my eyes, finding myself in the hospital. It was Rayan, the sound of that annoying machine, and I in the room only.
I didn't realize that mom, dad, aunty Iman and her husband were standing outside the room waiting for us until I moved my head very slowly looking at Rayan and then at them.
"Alhamdullilah you finally woke up" my mother said with tears covering her face while entering the room with my dad and another doctor whom I didn't recognize.
I didn't want to start those dramatic scenes where you just start asking questions on what happened to you and how did you get here and stuff. Well I know what happened to me, to us, my brother and I. So instead I decided to keep quite, because I knew at the moment that I was about to kill myself and my brother.
I couldn't move my lips, I tried so hard to move them but when I was about to say something to my mother the doctor interrupted me. The doctor seemed to be like 50 years old. A white, tall and skinny lady with palpable wrinkles under her eyes, smiled tentatively at me since I opened my eyes.
"Luckily nothing that bad happened to you. Though you have blood cancer but nothing seems to be damaged, although there are no bad injuries, there are just some bruises and you can't walk properly so you need to use the wheelchair for like 2 weeks" she said reading from a paper "however your brother's arm is broken." she continued, looking at Rayan.
I turned my sight to my brother who was innocently in a deep sleep. I felt so guilty and miserable. I was burning from the inside. I wish I could scream from the bottom of my heart and say sorry to him. I wish I didn't hit the window nor acted in a silly, childish way in front him. Ya Allah what if he died? What if something terribly bad happened to him? What if he couldn't walk nor move his hand for the rest of his life?
You know I just need to stop saying what if, that's very annoying, I know. But accidents happen sometimes and you just can't trust them!
Alhamdullilah anyway, after all my parents are here with me, my brother is still breathing and aunty Iman and her husband are here too, showing some care.
"Everything's going to be okay Andalus, don't worry" my dad said holding my hands.
I closed my eyes in a fraction of a second then opened them, nodding. My mother was staring at my brother with sadness covering her beautiful, young face which seemed to be old at that moment, but it was still beautiful. She then stood up and walked towards him and sat next to him playing with his hair.
"I'm sorry I made you both freak out" I said with a weak, not very noticeable voice.
"Alhamdullilah it's Allah's will at the end" my mother said while gazing at Rayan's face.
"But it was me who made it all happen, it was me acting in a silly way" I said and then cried like a hopeless, lost child.
"Just say Alhamdullilah after all dear and ask for forgiveness from Allah and pray for your brother" my mother said "someone is waiting for you, Adam" my mother continued looking at my father.
"I've got a surgery to do, will visit you as soon as I finish." my dad said kissing my forehead, leaving the room and then aunty Iman entered.
"Thank God you're good." aunty Iman said cheerfully, looking at me with her astonishing blue eyes.
I'm not good, oh please! How come you people get to judge others by just what you see? I'm still seethed and irritated from the inside because of what I've done. Doesn't mean when I'm awake that I'm literally okay. Well I am okay but I'm not good yet. Just pray for me to feel good, aunty Iman and I'll be thankful for the rest of my life.
I smirked "Alhamdullilah." I said.
"Hilal just phoned telling me that he's on his way." aunty Iman said to my mother.
Oh no, please I'm not ready for another pain. Why ya Allah why? I told you I would write the word pain instead of every word written here but you didn't let me, people.
Agh!
I looked directly at my mother, I hope she'll get that language of eyes, I heard it works but it's been 3 minutes since I looked at my mother and obviously it didn't work with her, I was so disappointed.
"I need to go home mom, I'm okay" I said pleading her.
"You kidding? You need to stay here for two more days, the doctor said that." my mom said.
"But I'm not that bad, I'm all okay, see" I said moving my right arm and then groaned.
"It's okay, you just need to have some rest." aunty Iman said covering me with a blanket.
I moved my sight to my mother, hoping she would do something and then realized that there was a tall figure standing, watching us through the room's window. In a flush of shock; seeing him standing there and embarrassment; stopping there gazing at him, I dropped my eyes all at once and pretended to be sleeping.
