IBRAHIM'S POV:

It is now 6:55 pm and Hauwa is still not back. It is not like her to not come home after 5pm which is her latest time of coming back late which she tries to avoid. I sat down on the living room with the kids waiting for her to come back. I am beyond worried right now so I decided to go to her office and check out what us wrong. Ahmed said said he will go with me and I agreed. We went to her office which is a 20 minutes drive from our house. The office was as silent as a graveyard and half of the workers cars were here. The parking lot was practically full.

We went in and found people lying dead on the floor with blood all over the place. My heart started beating very fast as I ran to her office. I found her lying down on the floor. I stood in my place, I couldn't take another step. I examined her from where I stood, her head is swollen and blood flowing from her side.
Ahmed quickly called 911 before rushing to her and started shaking her to wake up.
The police and the ambulance came a fast as they could.

I was still rooted to the floor. I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, I couldn't cry, I couldn't pray, my mind was blank.

I felt someone touch my shoulder, I turned to see Ahmed sitting close to me. I didn't even realize I was sitting down. I looked around and she was no where.

"She has been taking away by the ambulance" he said replying to my thoughts and cleaning my tears. I didn't realize I have been crying.

********************************

We are now at the Alexandria City Hospital waiting for the doctors to give us feedback on what's is wrong with her.
Whether she is going to make it or not. Which she will Insha'allah (If Allah wills)

I have been pacing back and forth restlessly. The green light has not turned on and I feel like punching the door open. As if the light was scared of me, it turned from red to green.
The doctors have been operating on her for 8 hours straight. Ahmed called the kids and told them to lock the house and go to sleep. We will meet them tomorrow.

In those 8 hours. We went to the mosque and prayed Nafila for 2 hours. We prayed and prayed till our weakness got the best of us.

"How is she doing doctor?" I immediately asked the doctor as she came out of the operation theater

"Alhamdulillah the operation was successful but I have some bad news" she said

"What is it doctor?" we both asked

"Your wife was one month pregnant"

"She was WHAT? How?" I asked

"Apparently the shot in her stomach caused a damage to the pregnancy she had and she has lost the baby"

"Innalillahi wa inna'illaihi raju'un" I muttered

"What is the other bad news doctor?" Ahmed asked

"The other bad news is that she has high chances of memory loss. The hit on her head was pretty hard. And she has lost a lot of blood and currently we don't have her kind of blood in our blood bank. "

"It's alright doctor, my daughter has, I'll bring her later." I said and she nodded

"But doctor what part of her memory will she forget?" Ahmed asked

"We are not magicians Mr. Ahmed. We don't know about it for now. After she wakes up, we will know" the doctor Dr. Hafsat said.

"Can we see her now doctor?" I asked

"Of course" she said and let us in.

We went in and my heart dropped. She was lying there helpless.

She looked pale and different. She really did loose a lot of blood.

*****************************

We went back home around 5am and told the kids about what happened. They all bursted out, crying

"Abba. Can I stay with Umma?" Afeena asked

"No you can't dear. You have to go to school" I replied

"But.."

"No buts Afeena. You are going to school" I said sternly and she nodded.

"By the way Afeena. You are going with me to the hospital before school. You are going to give blood to your mother" I said and she nodded. Her cries increasing.

All of them cried and I kept consoling them. Trying my best to be strong.

Ya Allah. Please make her recover. Please do not let her die.

I kept praying. I left and went to the hospital with Afeena and Nour. While the rest of the kids went to school.

She donated her blood and they left for school.

"Doctor when do you think she will recover?" I asked

"I think tomorrow or later" she said and smiled.

I smiled too and left

"Shukran (thank you)" I said and she
nodded

Guys. Do you think Hauwa will forget her family? I hope not. I hope she gets well soon

And I really want the twins to meet soon.

SUP EVERYONE!!!!!
