Aslam's POVThe usual hustling and bustling in a hospital causes me headache just like its doing now, I'm totally confused. The people that rescued her told me the hospital they were taking her to because I was still on call, I couldn't just hang up not knowing what happening to my wife.
I got the hospital a minute after the rescue team but the doctors wouldn't say anything to me, I helplessly paced around the lobby not knowing what to do, Haseenah's phone that was given to me on my arrival started ringing, it was Ameerah her course mate and friend. I wanted to ignore it but then I remembered she was on her way to meet them when the accident occurred.
I picked up not saying anything. "Hello Haseenah, you just kept us waiting when you know my lunch break hours is not much" A female voice said immediately. I kept mute not knowing how to reply her.
"Why are you quiet, I'm leaving if you don't come in the next 5mins" She says with a hint of anger in her tone.
"She's not the one on the line" I managed speak.
"Ohh ina kwa....wuni ya Aslam" She greeted.
"I'm sorry she couldn't make it, she... she was involved in an accident on her way. We are currently at the hospital but the doctors wouldn't say anything. I don't know what's wrong with her right now, I'm helpless without Seey" My voice breaking at the end, I didn't notice I was crying until i tasted something salty in my mouth.
"Inna lillahi, which hospital is that, we'll be on our way right now" She replied.
I told her the name before hanging up, it was then I remembered I have to inform Mamii and Abba so I dialled Mamii's number and told her, even though I tried not to make her panic she still panicked. Before 30minutes the hospital lobby was filled with our closet relatives Mamii,Abba, Baba, Mama,her friends,Habib and Aisha. Everyone was trying to comfort me but I didn't even acknowledge them, I never knew I was this weak until now.
After an hour of waiting the doctors decided to give us information, the only thing I kept praying for is the news shouldn't be like Dee's, I love my wife a lot and I don't want her to die.
"Mr Aslam" the head doctor called out.
"Yes.. Yes please tell me she'll be fine doctor" I said.
"Well sir we have good and bad news, which one would you like to hear first?" He asked.
"I dunno doctor just tell us what we need to know" I told him.
"First of all, congratulations sir you wife is 6weeks pregnant" He told us.
"Alhamdulillah"Everyone said at the same time.
"Does that mean she's fine doctor" Abba asked.
"The second news is that during the accident she hit her head but there was no concussion, but I'm afraid there might be temporary amnesia by the time she wakes up" the doctor said.
"We wish your wife a quick recovery sir....Do have a nice a day everyone" The co doctors said before leaving.
I turned to the head doctor to ask him the question that has been bothering "Doctor do you mean that she's not gonna remember everyone or things she's been doing for a while?".
"You see its a 50-50 thing, she might wake up to remember everything even the accident and she might not" He answered before leaving.
"Insha Allah she'll be fine" Habib said sitting next to me.
****
The only thing i do is praying I couldn't think of food at all, Mama tried and tried to make me eat but I just couldn't. It was around magrib Mamii convinced her friends to leave but they promised to come back tomorrow to check up on her hopefully she might have woken up by then.
After so much persuasion from me Habib left with Aisha, Mamii and Mama because Abba and baba have gone earlier leaving only me with her. I walked into her room and sat down on the bedside chair looking at her face, she's still as beautiful as ever even with the bandage on her forehead.
My hand unconsciously graze the side of her face down to her jaw before leaning to place a chaste kiss on her lips. I held her hand in mine and continued staring into her face.
"Baby, I hope you wake up fine with no amnesia. And do you know what? God has answered my prayers, I'm gonna be a daddy and you a mummy. I'm so glad but still sad because you're still unconscious, I love you so much Haseenah, so much more than I can I imagine. You brought love to my wretched soul, I never told you this when you were awake but i'm doing this now..... I prayed a lot for you today, I hope you wake up my darling" I said to her laying figure, bringing her hand closer to my chest.
I didn't know when I fell asleep only to wake up to the calling of the adhan on my phone I took off my wrist watch and performed ablution in the room's toilet and walked to the mosque beside the hospital to pray and staying there till sunrise reciting the Qur'an. When I returned to the room Mamii and mama were there already and they brought breakfast, I managed to eat a slice of bread and tea.
Mamii and Mama were chatting amongst themselves when I noticed her fingers moving, I quickly press the bell to alert the doctors, and before you know it her doctor and two nurses came in sending us all out of the room. They were still inside when Habib and Aisha arrived asking us what happened.
After 20mins of waiting the doctors walked out smiling "Alhamdulillah her condition is stable and she's asking for Mamii" The doctor said.
"Ohh my baby, can I go in now? " Mamii asked.
"Yes, you can all see her now but please try as much as possible not to make too much noise" He advised.
I was a little hurt she didn't ask for me but I felt she needed motherly attention now so I I ignored any mixed feeling, walking into the the room with the rest of my family.
She was sitting on the bed looking expectantly at the door, she smiled when Mamii walked in trying to get up but Mamii stopped her by sitting on the bed placing her head on her lap. Everyone asked how she's feeling and she replied them but the disturbing thing is when our eyes met she looked at me weirdly and looked away.
I managed to sit down on the chair beside her and the others took that as a cue to excuse us, so they all got up and went out including Mamii. I continued staring at her while she played with the ring on her finger, I couldn't say anything but it seems she was getting bothered with my stares because she asked a question that threw me off completely.
"Who are you and why do you keep staring at me?".
