Adah sat in the dim hospital room, the rhythmic beeping of machines a constant reminder of the fragile life before her. Amar was beside her, silent, both their hearts heavy. 'He' was admitted, and outside, his two best friends and family waited anxiously. His mother, eyes red from weeping, rested her head on Adah's shoulder, sharing an unspoken bond of grief. The pain was theirs alone, yet deeply shared. Years ago, everything had been different-college days filled with love, friendship, and laughter. Golden memories that seemed like a distant dream now. How had it come to this? How had everything changed so drastically? "The unexpected turn of events had led us here, and the weight of it all was overwhelming. I glanced at Amar, his usual playful demeanor replaced with worry. He met my gaze, and for a moment, we shared a silent understanding of the uncertainty that now loomed over us. As we waited, my thoughts drifted to the person in the hospital room-a connection I never expected to confront. My bond with them was complicated, a mix of memories that were both beautiful and painful. How had our lives changed so quickly? Who was I, really, in the face of all this? Life, once predictable and full of routine, had been irrevocably altered. And as much as I tried to cling to the memories of that carefree day, the reality of what lay beyond those hospital doors weighed heavily on my heart." -Adah.
