This deserves bazillion comments lmaooooo! Okkk sorry :/ that was lame.

Five days.
It's been five days and she knows, she knows that he is yet to speak yet. The doctor told her he could speak, he can talk.
But for some reason, this Hassan is silent.
This Hassan is silent even when his parents visit. Even when his mother hugs him, even when his father leaks tears from his eyes.
This Hassan won't speak.
And she tries, Anaaya tries.
But this Hassan won't even look at her now, let alone speak.
She doesn't know why.
She doesn't understand why this Hassan won't say anything.
But she has patience.
And that's all she can have for now.
Ten days.
His mother visits him for the first time. She gently soothes his head, she kisses his face, she cries.
She tries to make him say something.
But he doesn't.
The doctor tells them he's not stable from the inside. He's going through an emotional storm and might breakdown.
They're scared he might get a nervous breakdown with the way he's reacting.
Hassan doesn't say anything. He stares into nothingness. As if his life doesn't have a meaning anymore.
Anaaya doesn't say much either.
She doesn't want to force him.
She wants him to take his time.
Fifteen days
It's their sixth wedding anniversary today. Anaaya remembers it. She's not sure if she does.
She wears the dress that he bought her on their first anniversary together.
He notices. She knows that he does because his eyes linger at her face, longer than they usually do.
The same brown eyes look at her, up and down, up and down. And then he looks away.
She bites her lip to stop herself from crying.
The doctor tells them that Hassan can walk, that he will be able to do so, he might need help at the start but he will be fine in a few more days.
That's a good news. Hassan should be happy. But he isn't.
Infact, he closes his eyes when the doctor briefs him.
Anaaya wants her Hassan back. This quiet Hassan is not hers. And she doesn't know how long can she take it.
Twenty days.
Today, when she visits him, for instance, he's sitting up, and he has the television turned on.
