"Alaiku salam Baba"
"Jidda how are you, ya aiki ya Maiduguri"
"Baba everything is fine Alhamdulilah" she knows if she tells him the number of death she sees every day he would be more worried than he already is
Its heart broken that the military personnel keeps dying and nothing is been done about it, the Bokoharam issue is going back and forth, back and forth
She didn't want to come here but being a Doctor in the army She had to come as a medical aid team member and she loves it here, she loves that she's doing her job effectively
"Please keep safe, I'm worried about you" he sigh
After she left Sokoto she only kept in contact with Dr nasir and Alhaji Bubakar, she went completely away from her husband, Alhaji Bubakar was not in support because she is a married woman and she is supposed to be with her husband because anywhere she goes without his permission the wrath of God is on her but living with a man like Imran is worst than hell
"Tau Baba, your prayers will always keep me safe, my regards to Everyone" She hangs up
"Dr Jay!, Dr jay!" A nurse came running
"There's an emergency" she rushed towards the ER while jidda followed
It's the same case but different soldier, the patient was shot very close to his heart
She see's so many cases everyday so she's not even startled
"He's unconscious, tear his uniform and get ready for an incision" she tell the nurses
The surgery took about 7-8 hours due to complications, there were no much doctors on call only her and Dr Micheal
Alhamdulilah the sugery was a huge success
"Well done Dr Jay you saved his life"
"Dr Micheal, we did it together"
"If you haven't given him a proper first aid he wouldn't have made it" he smiled and nod his head
After washing up and resting she checked her phone
"Imran came to the Office again" Dr Nasir texted
She sat upright on the bed frame and sigh
"You promised you'll never disclose my whereabouts to him" she typed quickly hoping he didn't tell him
"No jidda, I'll never do that to you"
She sigh heavily, after they exchanged compliments she went back to check on the patient, he is still unconscious his heartbeat seems to be more stable and she was relieved
This has been her dreams and her fathers dreams, to be able to save a life and stand by people who have no one to stand by them
She looks at the patient again, he is here risking his life for the Nation not caring about his loved ones, what if he died maybe his wife if any will be made a miserable widow and his child an orphan
She was so proud of herself for saving him, she knows she didn't do anything God did, but He did it through her and she's really thankful
She sat by his side for a while before sleep swept her away, she slept for more than an hour and when the patient woke up he didn't wake her up
"I can't believe I felt asleep" she said to herself wiping her mouth, she looked up and saw two pairs of eyes burning into her
"Are feeling alright?" she quickly stood up
"Is there anywhere you feel pain?" She Asked worried
He didn't say a word, he just kept look at her
"Is your mouth in pain? Let me see" she did a check on his mouth and found nothing wrong then it clicked to her that maybe he is deaf
"Let me call another doctor" she demonstrated with her hands, he didn't even nod, he just kept looking at her
"He is alright Dr Jay" her colleague said after cross examining him
"Maybe he is deaf" she sigh
"But do military accept deaf people" she suddenly became curious
"I don't think so" the dr said
"Do you think he has a family!"
"No Dr jay how will I know" he smiled and left the room
"I'm not deaf" a deep voice groan
She was shocked, he was pretending to be all this while and he has an annoying attitude for a patient
"Good for you" she said and started packing up her files to leave
"Why did you save my life?" He shouts
"Because I'm a doctor" she looked straight into his eyes
"I have no interest in this world, neither do I want to live but you had to intervene, who the hell do you think you are!" He shouts again and immediately starts coughing with blood, she rushed to him ignoring his madness
"Are you alright? Can you just lie down and shut your mouth" she trows a deadly glare towards him
People think life is easy and everyone is happy and having a perfect life but thats not the case
There will come days when you will feel like a collection of ugly things or a chapter with many unwanted scenes
This feeling might last a few days, a few months or even few years
But your zeal to live and strive harder make all this feelings a little bearable
He tried talking but she walked out quickly and asked the nurse to administer some sleeping pills to him
2 days later
The flashlight of her phone kept flickering, the screen revealed an unknown number, she hesitated before placing the phone on her ear
"Hello"
"Jidda please don't hang up" her heart skip few beats, its Imran it's definitely him
"I'm sorry it's a wrong number" she quickly hang up the phone
A text came that read "you are still my wife jidda, stop making things hard"
She reread the text for about than 3 times but didn't reply
Something deep down is telling her, no matter how far away she is from her problems they will always be part of her she has to solve them once and for all, she don't really know if she wants to accept Imran again or divorce him
She sometimes really wish he will just badge in here and take her with him, sometimes she wish she hadn't met him at all.
"Dr, the patient in room 104, is bleeding come fast" a nurse informed
She rushed straight to her rude patient
"I said I don't need this" he shouts and throw the dressing plate
Whats wrong with him, she walked to him In fury
"Stop being a brat!" She shouts
"What's your problem? If you don't value your life then leave don't die on me" she adds
She open his shirt with a scissors and examine his chest
"Take him for ultra sound if he misbehave tell me" she ordered the nurse
