Second Marriage

Chapter 12 - 11



Everything happened in blur, I felt tighten in my c.h.e.s.t,throat as well as shortness of breath.

My eyes glued to the spot. Flashback of Yusuf's death replay back. My body felt like someone was controlling it that nothing can save me. I just wanted to faded into nothingness. My breathing became shallow and hyperventilating, I began to shake while my mind goes black, I was unable to think at all. I felt lightheaded and collapsed on the floor,crying uncontrollable and having breathing difficulties. My hands tensed up and went tingly from lack of oxygen due to hyperventilating.

I felt a worm hand,soothing my back and put me into s hug. I couldn't make out the person's shape or figure but the person looked familiar. The person instructed me to breath in and out. After my breathing has been back to normal, the person left. I wanted to tell the person to stop but my voice wasn't working.

I heard the ambulance blaring from afar. I looked at my boy with my blood shot,puffy, crying face on the ground; gasping for breath. He went pale and limp. A pair of hands pulled me back. His body was channelled onto the stretcher and into the ambulance with me. The van stack of sulphur-like and chemicals. I sat on the provided bench with my sweaty hands clambered together while the paramedics seizing up my boy for breathing.

The road to the hospital was terrifying with every potholes the ambulance bumped in,made my anxiety reeled up.

As we reached the hospital, the stretch in which my boy was strapped to was rushed inside. The nurses were running up and down.

I ran to the doctor and held his hand, "please save my baby" I pleaded in a hoarsely. "Please, save him" I whispered.

"We will try our best ma'am" he replied shortly before he entered the ER (emergency room) for medical intervention.

I've been walking to and fro the ER, praying and crying before I saw Abdulrahman,maryam,mom and Lut walking to me.

I bursted out another wave of tears.

I was scared !

Expect the unexpected!

Abdulrahman came to me and pulled me in a comforting hug while I accepted it.

I needed it desperately!

I wailed in pain while hitting him on his c.h.e.s.t,biting my lips and in and out breathing was hard.

"Wi--will h--ee be ooookay?" I hiccupped while he soothed and rocked my back.

"Sophia, he will be okay. Remember the boy is strong" she joked softly but I didn't see it as joke.

"Sis, my nice is fine. He is coming back" mg younger brother - Lut said smiling.

"Yes, he will be" Abdulrahman replied, his voice wavered while sniffing and biting his lips. I knew he was trying to be strong for me.

I smiled at them for having faith where I have lose mine.

After several hours of waiting at the ER door, still the doctor wasn't out. I started to feel a wave of panic again.

Was he okay?

What was delaying them!

Has he de--ad?. No it can be!

My boy was strong.

Maybe he has dea....

"How is my son?,is he okay?" I asked panicky.

"Ma'am" I held my breath, " your son is okay" I exhaled, "but.." My heart beats raised.

"But what?" Abdulrahman asked.

"He has lost a lot of blood. We need a blood transfusion from his father within twenty four hours or what we are saying, won't be what we will be saying" I screamed while Abdulrahman rubbed my back. I was very grateful he was here because I didn't know what to do.

"I'm his father" Abdulrahman said. The doctor glanced from him to me, I tugged his cloth while he looked at me with tears glistened in his eyes.

He left with the doctor to the laboratory but came out after some minutes, looking down.

"What's wrong" I asked urgently, feeling scared.

"Nothing, the doctor said my blood wasn't compatible with his" that was all I heard before I collapsed on Abdulrahman's hand.

He helped her with her panic attack earlier and called for the ambulance. He wanted to say with her now but didn't want to uncovered himself.

He took his phone out from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Hello doc" he said goofily.

"Find a suitable blood for the child. And if the boy die,All your family member will pay for it" he said dangerously and hung up.

"I'm coming for you soon Sophia" he whispered to himself.
