3li’s side:
I opened my eyes and my
vision was a blur. The world was spinning. I blinked a few times for my vision
to settle. I felt as if I have run around the world non-stop, pain taking over
my body. I felt paralyzed. What happened? The room I was in was so white that
it hurt my eyes. I was wearing a hospital gown. I suddenly felt that my life
has passed right in front of my eyes without me knowing. The room was simple;
bed, dresser, window and a TV. Waini? Sh9aayir? I ran to the door and started
hitting the door with my palms
And screamed: HAAAAYYY!
6AL3OONI MIN IHNII! ‘3AL6ANEEN MUKANI MU IHNIII!
I peaked through the little window on the door w shift wa7da
mit7ajba; she looked like a nurse. I hit the door once more and got her
attention. She turned to and looked right into my eyes. Her eyes widened and
she started screaming out words I couldn’t quite hear as she ran.
Mariam’s side:
Finally I’m fully
recovered from the accident and back at home safe and sound. But the thought
fills me with guilt. I’m back home safe but Sara and Ali are still deeply
affected by the accident, Ali in much more ways. But, I can’t reverse fate, I
can do something to help create a better future. I’m at a point where I’m
hanging off a wall, if I let go I fall and plummet to the ground. If I put all
my strength to push myself up to see the other side, the side that I still have
no clue about it’s when I will achieve.
A call interrupted by
train of thoughts. It was the house phone.
: Alooo?
I said while balancing
the phone between my shoulder and check to tie my brown, curly hair into a
messy bun.
: Maryoom, ana 7anan.
Lazem inru7 3ind 3li il7een il7een, ildiktor daaag 3alaai yabeena inkun
mawjodeen ihnaak asraa3 ma yumkin.
(7nan was one of the
passengers with us in the accident; she luckily had her seat belt on so no
major injuries happened to her il7mdilillah. She’s also 3li’s older sister. Has
his light brown eyes, 7n6awiya nafs 3li, and both have black hair. But, she’s
short for a 26 year old, which makes her adorable. He, on the other hand, is
tall 6ali3 3ala uboo.)
: okay ashufich ihnaak
3ayaal.
7nan: okay bye 7abeebti
deeray balich bil 6reej.
: inshallah lat7ateen ya
bint il5ala.
I closed the phone and
ran up to my room. Snatched any comfortable sweats that were in my sight and a
long sleeved (its fall and the cold is starting to settle in Kuwait) purple shirt
that says “Don’t worry” written in an Aztec pattern. The irony I see in this
shirt since the color that represents worry for me is purple. Anyway, I put
them on quickly and closed my room’s door behind me hearing the dream catcher
chimes work their sound. As I sprinted down the stairs I called out one of the
worker’s names: Arsal!
Arsal: Yes Maryam!
: can you please tell the
driver to get ready? Thankyou!
She saw the worry in my
eyes so she ran outside to the driver. I walked past the kitchen to see my dad
having his afternoon fruits. I ran to him kissed his head goodbye.
: yuba, baru7 mukaan wiya
7anoon w arid love you.
Ubooy: wain ray7a? *with
that smile he always wears around <3
: I’ll explain later cuz
im in a hurry its urgent.
He looked at me and I
knew from the way he looked at me that he trusted me and believed my words.
Ubooy: deeray balich 3ala
nafsich w allah w mu7ammad wiyaach. Don’t forget your seatbelt.
-à I entered the hospital and knew by instinct
inni aru7 ‘3urfat diktor 3li. I knocked on the door and heard a: come in.
I opened the door to see
7nan and the doctor in a deep serious discussion.
Diktor: oh Maryam! 7ayach
tifa’6ilay
He looked like he was in
a good mood.
I took a seat.
: bashir ya diktoor inshallah
good news?
I felt that it was from
the vibe in the room
Diktor: il7mdilillah ya Marya-
Athaan il ma’3rib and I heard
the beautiful words of the athaan from the masyad near the hospital.
Diktor: waagt munasib 7ag
ilathaan li2ana ma3a hal athaan iljameel bshaara 7ilwa.
