The Straight Path

A glimpse:

"You're not moving until the doctor says that you can! " There was something about her tone that Haleema couldn't reply. Haiqa could feel Hashim's eyes on her, she knew he'd find out soon enough. She reached for Haleema's hand. "I can't loose you, I just can't!" She squeezed her hand. "Your face is so like baba's," She paused. "You won't leave me! THAT'S AN ORDER!" She screamed the last bit.

She was breathing hard. She raised a hand to stop Haya from coming closer.

"I'm fine!" She rubbed at her eyes with the sleeve of her shirt. "You're the rope holding my sanity in place. If you die; I'll lose myself!" She placed Haleema's hand onto her chest and covered it with her own hands."Don't you dare die on me!" She screamed. By now her head was feeling heavy.

"I'll never forgive you, if you die!" She felt Hashim's hands on her shoulders. "Get away from me!" She tried to push him away, but he was too strong.
