Hadizah was not comfortable since it has been hours they wheeled her into the hospital and none of them were telling her what was wrong. All she hoped and prayed for was her daughter and the baby to be fine, she knew the baby growing in her womb was what kept Summayah going, she was strong and ready to laugh again because of her baby. If anything happens, then Summayah will be broken, all her dreams will be shattered . The door to the ward Summayah was been attended to was opened by a nurse and hadiza quickly went up to her. 

Hadiza:How is my daughter doing?

Nurse:She...

(Dr Maryam came out too, the nurse left_she proceeded towards her to inquire about Summayah.) 

Hadiza:How is my daughter? I hope she is fine. 

Dr Maryam:Salam Alaikum ma, your daughter is doing fine. 

Hadiza:Walaykum salaam, her baby? 

Dr Maryam:Alhamdulilah,they are both fine.

Hadiza:Can i see her? 

Dr Maryam:Sure but she needs a lot of bedrest. Just speak to her gently and let her speak softly. She has a weak cervix, so please she needs a lot of rest and there shouldn't be any kind of stress for her. I know the child is like a treasure to her, we need to avoid any thing that can cause miscarriage. In sha Allah, everything will be fine. 

Hadiza:Jazakillah khair doctor

. Where can i get a praying mat? 

Dr Maryam:I will get one for you. 

Hadiza:Thank you.(She went to see Summayah, she looked at her with tears in her eyes. She looked tired even in her sleep, hadiza held her hand in hers.) Summayah, everything will be okay very soon.

(Dr Maryam came in with the praying mat and handed it over to Hadiza.)

Dr Maryam:This is it. 

Hadiza:Thank you so much, we are so sorry for depriving you of your sleep. 

Dr Maryam:It is my duty as a doctor to help my patients anytime, actually i wasn't even sleeping that time Dr uthman called me and i live close by.

Hadiza:I really appreciate it, sorry Miss or Mrs? 

Dr Maryam:I am a Miss. I'm Maryam.

Hadiza:Nice meeting you. By the way, I am... 

Dr Maryam:I know you are his mother, i have met you before.

Hadiza:Ohh, so you are the Maryam? 

Dr Maryam:Yes ma'am, any problem?

Hadiza:There is no problem my dear, you are beautiful and kind hearted. Summayah told me about you.

Dr Maryam:Thank you. I have to pray now, i will be back to see her. 

Hadizah:Okay.

(She exits the door, Hadiza went to the bathroom to perform ablution before praying. She spread the praying mat, prayed to her Lord for Summayah's health and baby. After praying her solah, she was about to call Maryam when Summayah called her, although she was weak but it was audible for her to hear.) 

Summayah:Mother.

Hadiza:(She quickly stood up) Summayah, Alhamdulilah you are fine. How are you? It still hurts? I will be back with the door (She turned to leave but Summayah held her with her fragile hands.) 

Summayah:How is my baby? Is she fine? Just tell me what happened. 

Hadiza:Alhamdulilah, she is fine. You need a lot of bedrest, i won't allow you to stress yourself at all. Your cervix is weak, i won't allow you to even think of doing any stressful work. 

Summayah:Alhamdulilah, she is fine! She is fine!! 

Hadizah:Yes,our baby is perfectly fine. 

Summayah:I am sorry for depriving you of your sleep, fadilah must have been so stressed out.

Hadizah:We are not doing you a favor just because you are not part of our family. You are my daughter and i will stay awake for days if i have to.

Summayah:You are a blessing to me wallah. Allah replaced a sand into a diamond for me. You are the best mother on earth and a role model to me. May He preserve your soul for all of us.

Hadiza:Amin...Get some rest. I will call Maryam to bring your clothes and food.

(She was about to call her when Maryam and Fadilah showed up at the door. Fadilah ran to her bed while Maryam gently placed the stuff at the bed side.) 

Hadizah:Fadilah, be careful Summayah needs to rest. 

Fadilah:I just want to see how mother is, she was in pain.

Summayah:(She was so shocked)Mother?

Fadilah:Yes, you are going to be a mother soon right? Sister Maryam told me that.

Summayah:I am not yet a mother, fadilah. 

Fadilah:You will soon be and i will be able to hold your baby which is my younger sister right? 

Summayah:Hmm,In sha Allah. You will be able to hold her. 

Fadilah:Then you are my mother too. 

Summayah:But...

Hadizah:Summayah, let it be and accept her calling you her mother, please. 

Summayah:Moth...

Hadizah:You know how persistent she can be, mothers are not only bonded with their own flesh and blood. We can be mothers to a lot of people out there, you will see it is a great feeling. 

Summayah:(She just nodded her head while fadilah was already holding Summayah's hand) 

Fadilah:How are you now? 

Summayah:Fine.

Fadilah:Your stomach is not hurting anymore? 

Summayah:Yes. I am just weak.

Fadilah:Sorry, you will be out of here soon. We would go home when you are healthy. 

Summayah:Thank you. 

Fadilah:Can i touch your stomach? 

Summayah:Yes.

(Fadilah tried to touch her stomach but she was too short to reach her, Maryam gently placed her on her bed)

Fadilah:(She held her hands and kissed it before she kissed her stomach)Little sister, don't disturb mother again. She was in pain because of you, make sure to stay quite and gentle. 

Summayah:(She looked at the beautiful soul in front of her, she couldn't stop saying Alhamdulilah to Allah because of this family she was blessed with. The mere thought of her parents made her shed tears, it was a painful experience.)She is going to be gentle from now on. 

Fadilah:Are you crying? 

Summayah:No.

Fadilah:This are tears right? 

(Hadizah signalled to Maryam to take Fadilah out of the ward and she understood.) 

Maryam:Summayah needs to rest, we would come back to see her.

Fadilah:Okay, take care of yourself and don't cry.

Summayah:Hmm.

(They left and Summayah broke down in tears. Hadizah gave her a crying shoulder.) 

Summayah:I haven't done anything to deserve this love you have all shown me. 

Hadizah:Summayah, you have a very big heart. Allah has blessed you with a lot of goodness in your heart and who doesn't reap a good seed, wouldn't sow one. Your seeds are germinating and you see the results of being kindhearted. 

Summayah:Mother, my parents should be here too. I didn't expect this from a total stranger, they all abandoned me because i was a liability and my child would be an expense for them. 

Hadiza:I told you to forget the past. The present and the future is the most important. Now, you should only focus on your well being because it is a crucial month. You need to think about yourself and your unborn child for now.

Summayah:Yes, I will. At least i shouldn't worry about them since they have all forgotten about me. You are all i have after Allah. I will just pray to Allah to guide and protect them for me because someday i will prove to them that i am not what they all think about me, in sha Allah. 

Hadizah:In sha Allah. Just eat and freshen up.

Summayah:I will be going back home with you right? 

Hadizah:I will not let you go home, you need to rest. 

Summayah:I can get enough rest at home. I will be bored if i stay here with no one to talk to. 

Hadizah:Summayah, you are going to be a mother soon. Stop being childish. 

Summayah:I am still a child. (She smiled) 

Hadizah:(She held her hand)I know dear but you have a responsibility right now. So endure because of her, you will out of here very soon. That is when we are sure that you are perfectly fit. You think you are strong? 

Summayah:Off course, i am. 

Hadizah:Hmm,indeed.

Summayah:Just tell them i am fine. 

Hadizah:The tests will determine if you will be staying or going. 

(Summayah grumbles)

Summayah:Hospitals make me sick, the smell, drugs and injections are sickening. 

Hadizah:Just endure it baby. 

Summayah:(She nodded her head before looking at her stomach and she smiled)I will surely endure it for her. 

Hadizah:That's my girl. 

********

Summayah has been in the hospital for almost two weeks, she was growing inpatient since she was not able to help hadizah with her organization. They are a lots of people that have donated into her organization which made her happy and gave her more courage to go ahead with her plans. Hadizah has helped with a lots of things, she giggled while she was in her own small world. Dr Maryam entered into her ward. 

Dr Maryam:Summayah, what's making you smile like this. 

Summayah:(Her happy face turned to a frown) I won't tell you.

Dr Maryam:Why? Did i do something wrong? 

Summayah:Yes.

Dr Maryam:What is that?

Summayah:I begged you not to inject me again and discharge me but you refused to let me go and those injections are painful.I can't sit properly because it hurts. (Her eyes was watering)

Dr Maryam:Urghh, pregnancy hormones. It is very hard to pacify them when they cry, they need a lot of pampering. (She shaked her head)

Dr Maryam:(She moved closer to her)Summayah, stop crying. I am sorry, i only came to tell you that you will be going back home today with Uthman. 

Summayah:Yay.

Dr Maryam:How did you mode change so suddenly? 

Summayah:You made me happy by letting me go home. 

Dr Maryam:Or you were faking those tears. 

Summayah:(She started crying) I wasn't faking any tears, i really want to go home. I miss everyone. 

Dr Maryam:Eyy,i was only joking with you. Aunty comes to the hospital everytime, why do you miss them when they're always with you. She left this morning right? 

Summayah:Yes, but i still want to go home. This place isn't a home, i will feel complete there. 

Dr Maryam:I understand, i am letting you go if you promise me you wont stress yourself out. Your body is weak, it is best you don't think about anything. Use your drugs and sleep.

Summayah:(She nodded) 

Dr Maryam:I noticed you don't eat much. 

Summayah:Everytime i eat, i always have the urge to vomit and i don't want to stress mother out with that. 

Dr Maryam:You still need to eat, eat a lot of fruit. I will get some vitamins for you, it really helps you to regain your strength and you will be able to eat. 

Summayah:Thank you. 

Dr Maryam:You are welcome dear. (She brought her hands forward and handed something to her.) Take this. 

Summayah:What is this? 

Dr Maryam:Take it and open...You will see what is in it. 

Summayah:(She removed all the wrapping paper on the box, she opened the box to see a photo frame.What she saw made her gasp)You really made this for me. 

Dr Maryam:Remember that i told you i will give you a gift that day i did the ultrasound? 

Summayah:Yes

Dr Maryam:This is the gift and i made it specially for you. Do you love it?

Summayah:Yes! Yes!! I love it and this is the most expensive gift i received all my life. Thank you so much. 

Dr Maryam:It's nothing dear but anyways welcome. I printed it out, got someone to help me put it in a frame. You can actually wake up and look at your little baby from this picture. This should encourage you to eat, take maximum rest and use your drugs. Your little one will be here soon, no mistakes okay? 

Summayah:Yes. (She turned to her stomach and placed the frame very close to her stomach) Hey there, i hope you are very much okay. You should wake up right now if you are sleeping. I know you can't say thank you to aunty right now but you can when you are born. She is just amazing, isn't she? 

Dr Maryam:Summayah, you are funny. 

Summayah:I will make her say "Thank you" when she is of age, in sha Allah. 

Dr Maryam:May He spare our lives till then. 

Summayah:Amin.

Dr Maryam:I have to get going. 

Summayah:Bye and thank you. 

(As she was about to leave, Hadizah and Maryam came in with her food.) 

Hadiza:Salam Alaikum. 

Dr Maryam and Summayah:Walaykum salaam. 

Hadiza:How are you my dear doctor?

Dr Maryam:(She smiled) I'm fine and you? 

Hadiza:Fine too. 

Dr Maryam:You can talk to her, i have to go check on other patients.

Hadizah:I actually dished some food for you, i hope you wouldn't mind? 

Dr Maryam:I don't mind aunty since it is made by your amazing hands, i will gladly accept it.

Hadiza:(She smiled and handed it over to her) Keep up the good work, may Allah reward you for your good deeds and forgive your shortcomings. You have helped Summayah recover very well.

Summayah: Mother, see what she gave me. 

Hadizah:(She looked at it and gasped) Jazakillah khair dear. 

Dr Maryam:Wa iyakii. 

(Maryam handed Dr Maryam the food flask and she left after saying her salaam.) 

Summayah:Can we leave already mum. 

Hadizah:Very soon. 

Summayah:I can't wait to go home. Ramadan is starting in a few days and I'm not really prepared. Sadly, i can't even fast. 

Hadizah:You can't but there are a lots of good deeds you will be doing. 

Summayah:I still feel bad. 

Hadizah:This is Allah's commandment, it is not bad since you have a tangible reason not to fast. 

Maryam:Mother is right. 

Summayah:(She smiled) Yes, She.Is. Always.Right.

Hadizah:You shouldn't worry about the preparations, Maryam has helped with that, you have gotten a bus to transport the food, volunteers, caterers too. Everything will be fine. 

Maryam:Do you know a lot of people contributed too.

Summayah:Alhamdulilah.

Maryam:Mother told her friends and they added theirs too. 

Summayah:Masha Allah. Jazakillah khair to everyone, i will forever be grateful to Allah and i will pray for those that donated to the cause of Allah. 

Hadizah:In sha Allah dear.(She turned to Maryam)Start packing. 

Summayah:(She giggled)I can't wait to see the four walls of my room, i missed it so much. Mother(She turned to her) 

Hadizah:Yes.

Summayah:Your house is not just a house but a home. I am the luckiest girl on earth. 

Hadizah:Alhamdulilah, my home is your home. We are bonded by destiny and we would forever stick together till our last breath. 

Summayah:Amin.

(Hadizah pulled her into a hug.) 

Hadizah:May He protect you from any evil, my daughter. Stay blessed. 

Summayah:Amin.

(Hadizah was about to free herself but Summayah tightened her hands on her wrist.)

Summayah:Mother, i want us to stay like this. It is so warm and comfortable. 

Hadizah:Okay.

Maryam:The two of you can stay like that tomorrow but don't forget we have to go home. 

Summayah:This is one of the safest place for me and it is a hommmmmeeee. (Stressed it) 

(They all burst out laughing)
