I hear the faint sound of something beeping, making me open my eyes but I close them a gain as the light seem to be too much for my eyes. I open them again blinking and all I see is blurriness, continuing with the act of opening and closing my eyes, until I am able to adjust my eyes with the light.

The first thing that i notice is the color white that seems to be the dominating the roof. Not only that but the constant beeping sound that increases as i move my eyes along the room. And the smell of antiseptic seems to be the natural aura of the room.

looking around i realise I'm in a hospital, but before my mind could wonder why, suddenly all memories of what happened, comes flashing back to me in full force .And tears begin to fall as i remember everything. My heart feels heavy as a feeling of betrayal sinks in.

"Ya Allah give me courage" i prey as i remember the one who was supposed to stand by me and protect me was the one who shot me in the end despite being innocent. The pain that i seem to endure increases if that's even possible, my breath hitches and no air seems to come into my lungs. Unconsciously i rub my chest the place where my beating heart is located as tears start falling down from my eyes, there's a sudden cry that is full anguish and heartbreak penetrates the silence inside the hospital room. As hiccups overtake my whole body.

Using my right hand, i lift it up to cover my mouth to restrain any sound that wants to escape.Flicking my eyes around the room, trying to control my sobbing self.

But suddenly i feel hands embracing me, bringing my upper body to a strong masculine body forcing my head to land on a warm chest. "Shh... There, there ....let it all out" a deep velvety voice says, calming me down. And the hand that was on my pack starts to move up and down on my back in a comforting manner.


My hands make their way to his jacket, as i let the my pain out. the sudden beeping sound is heard through out the room as my breath hitches and darkness surrounds me and all the noises become distant I can feel my grip on my husband's lawyer lessen and somehow I can hear distantly as someone yells to me about something but it all come to an abrupt stop as I see my self in a tunnel full of darkness and the only light comes from far away.

" hello is anybody here?" I find myself asking only to be met with the echo of my voice moving my self to follow the dim light that seems to come from the end of the tunnel. I follow it wondering where am I and why am I here. finally am able to reach at the end of the tunnel that has a beautiful gold glowing light that seems to be illuminated from the bulbs that surrounds a golden door.

Moving my hand up and hold the gold door knob that has diamonds decorating it, I hear a voice full of pain and anguish making me look back as if I could find where it comes from but I don't see anything moving my attention back to the door again and this time I twist its knob. Only to hear someone call my name " whose there?" I asked looking around me and found nothing again.

This time I managed to open the door but the anguish cry came again this time closer, tugging at my heart and it didn't stop until I knew whom it came from. moving away from the door I called the name of the owner " Anwar where are you?" but I got no answer and the door closed with it its light and as my consciousness. As I started to feel like am floating and a female voice whispered in my ear to sweetly and kindly with it, it brought peace to my restlessness " you made the right choice, he still needs you" and she continued "I hope you can forgive him" she spoke one last time before disappearing, leaving me confused as darkness fully took me to an endless void.
