I woke up when my sister came and almost jumped onto me early in the morning.

"Good morning sis " She said.

"Good morning pumpkin " I told her.

"Aggr will you stop calling me that, my friends will laugh at me if they hear you calling me that " She said.

"Ok dear don't worry I won't call infront of others but now only both of us are here so I will call you Pumpkin " I said and pulled her cheeks.

"Sis I am grown up stop treating me like a little girl and yes you have to stop doing this as well " she said getting annoyed.

"You mean this ? " I asked and pulled her cheeks again. And with that I ran to the washroom without waiting for her to come back at me.

I took bath and changed into pretty pink polka dot top and matching dusty pink pants with darker shade pink hijab. Once I pinned the hijab and looked at myself in the mirror I was reminded of last night's nightmare. It almost felt like nightmares because when I woke up everything is back to normal.

It keep replying in my mind the words. " I did for my mother and...

"Sis hurry up we are getting late " Deena called from downstairs.

"Coming, give me two minutes !" I told and went downstairs and packed my lunch and went to the guest room to take my things. And I took my coat and handbag. But I couldn't find the card. "I dropped it here last night where can it go !"  I thought to myself and started to search in the room and I found it near the window with something else. I took it and realized it's a watch covered with blood. I took it and put in a plastic bag to clean it and return to mr stranger. But how to find him. I didn't know his name or how he looks like....

"Please sis hurry up.. " Deena said and almost stopped when she saw me standing there and doing nothing.

"Is everything ok ? "She asked me and I just nodded because I couldn't trust my words. I won't be able to tell her the truth it will scare her and if I lie the guilt will kill me from inside.

I passed warm smile and collect all my belongings and stepped outside and she followed me behind and I locked the door and as we walked out of our gate Mrs Layla greeted me loudly as if I am in another planet.

"Good morning girls !" I saw it more than normal greeting and I was right.

" Last night I saw cops in your door, There is something you are hiding from us ! " Mrs Layla almost accused me as if I am drug dealer or some murder.

" Mrs Layla it's time you get
Your glass checked " Deena was instantly replied in a sarcastic way. She can't stand Mrs Layla's insults even though she is an old lady living all alone after her husband was killed in a car accident few years ago. She have got grumpy and never let anyone live peacefully she feels she is needed to comment even though it's not her intention to hurt others but she ends up doing that.

"Behave Deena !" I said sternly and apologised to Mrs Layla on behalf of my sister. However she doesn't look convinced to leave the topic.

"Yes, last night cops came looking for someone who have stolen in one of the house in this block but nothing serious " I said and ignore my sister's stairs because she is preparing with her rapid fire questions. Which I don't want to face at the moment.

"I hope cops find him and give punishment" Mrs Layla cursed and walked back to her home.

I felt to stop her because he shouldn't be punished for what he did. But I stopped myself and start to walk and I heard Deena calling me to stop and explain what's happening.

"Please not now , I will explain everything once we are back in home at night. " I said and held Her  hand and gesture to walk.

"I can feel it's much more than what you told back to Mrs Layla but whatever You have to tell me everything because I am capable of handling these things. So don't even think of cooking different story in your mind" She said and started to walk.

"I will, but make sure not to talk about it with anyone in your school. " I said and let her go into her school. It's a walking distance from our home so we both walk and I drop her there at the entrance and leave to the hospital. Which is after two building.

I checked into the hospital and started the busy day. It's a Friday so very busy day before the weekend. Emergency ward is crowded as if a patient is refusing to obey to the doctor. I slowly start to move forward and saw an old lady crying out calling for her child. And nurses are struggling to control her. I went and asked the nurses to shift the lady into a room where she can rest without public attention. She stated to feel calm once she was inside the room. The doctor already gave the drip and few medications so she is drifting into sleep. I quietly left the room and stopped the nurse and asked the details regarding the patient.

"Dr Huda, Mrs Zaynab is diabetic patient, Mr Burak called earlier when she fell unconscious in his shop, we took tests and found she is a diabetic and having some kind of memory loss. She can't remember her name or anything but keeps calling her child and keep saying to call him " The nurse said.

"Him ! You mean her son ? " I asked puzzled.

"Yes Doctor, shall I call the police because it can be serious if we can't find her son! " The nurse said.

"Don't call the police" I said quickly.

"I will handle it , but make sure to take care of her, I don't want to get any complaints from other patients regarding her. " I told her and went to my cabin.
