Surayya's POV

Today seems to be different from other days, not in a good way though, I've been feeling so uneasy as If something bad is going to happen.

I called Mami, Abba, and Ya Hanif asking if there all alright, and I kept getting yes, as an answer.

What of Ya Salim?, I've not called him, I dialed his number and he picked up in time, I also asked if he was okay, He also said yes.

I completed the little work I have left here in Real Mel and headed straight to Our Company, I can't abandon my work just like that, Nothing has changed, I'm still There Manager.I entered my Office and began working, it's not easy but I can still manage.

The sound of my call ringing tone attracted me to my phone which I placed by the side of My Desk. It was Ya Salim, he hardly calls by this time of the Day.

I answered the call expecting to hear his voice but I heard a different voice, "Hello, Hello" the person spoke, "Yes, Please who am I speaking with?" I asked.

"Hello, we are calling from King's Hospital, The owner of this phone got involved in an accident, please kindly come over" the person spoke again.

Did I hear him wright, he said Ya Salim....got.. involved in an accident, yes that was what I heard, where?, how?, Innalillahi wa'inna ilaihi raji'un, Did he survive it, I don't want to imagine this life without him, No it can't be, it can't.

~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes opened slowly, while my head ached, making me bit my lower lip and then everything that happen occurred back to me. Ya Salim got involved in an accident, Yes, The Man on the phone told me.

"Ya Salim!" I yelled standing up from the bed, I was in my room at home, who brought me home, did I faint, for how long did I slept?.

How is Ya Salim doing now?, why did I have to faint?, I have to go and see how Ya Salim is?, The Love of my life, he can't just go and leave me in this world, No he won't, nothing will happen to him, have faith Surayya,have faith, I consoled my self as I went out of the room and ran downstairs almost missing my steps, all I want now is to go to his place, and tell him how much I love him.

"Auta, Auta, wait!" Ya Hanif shouted my name but I turned deaf ears. "Wait!" He said holding me tightly, "Ya Hanif, leave me alone, leave me, I want to go and see him, please, please I beg you" I said breaking into a new set of tears, "Let me go and see him, A man called me and told me Ya Salim had an accident, I want yo go" I sobbed.

"Ya Salim" I repeated pointing toward the door. "I know just calm down, you've been sleeping since yesterday, you fainted in the office yesterday,that person called again and that was how we knew about what happened" he said with a saddened voice.

"Hope he is fine, please tell me he is alright, please" I begged him, "He is fine" Ya Hanif whispered. "Alhamdulillah, ok, let's go and see him" I said with a sigh of relief.
"Ok sure, I was about to go back, I just came to check up on you"

I went up to my room and took a quick shower and slip into a Black Abaya and veil.

After that I went downstairs and met Ya Hanif making a call. We occupied the back seat and let the Driver do the driving, on a normal day, Ya Hanif would insist on driving.

The Hospital was just some kilometers away from us, so in less than an hour, we were already in the hospital premises.

"Thank God you are here, he has lose a lot of blood, let's go and start the test" The Doctor said to Ya Hanif.

They Walked toward a Laboratory and I followed suit, series of tests were taking which took like almost a decade, is that really necessary, the blood at last was taking.

One could tell that Ya Salim is in a critical condition from the way the Doctor was rushing, we followed him, but we weren't allowed to enter the Emergency room.

I could only catch a glimpse of the room through the Glass mirror on the door, there, I saw him looking helpless, Doctors and nurses surrounded his bed.

The Doctors we're doing something on his head, while the nurses were attaching IV's, heart monitor, and Oxygen tanks to him, Is this him?, will he survive it?, Ya Ilaahi.

"They said he got involved in a car accident, the cab was on it way from the train station, did he mentioned that he was coming?" Ya Hanif asked. "No, he didn't" I said.

"Ya Salim will wake up, wright?" I asked ya Hanif, he nodded his head giving me a hug.

A nurse came out of the theater room,"How is he?" I asked.

Ignoring my question, she went and came back with Only God knows what, Tears cascaded down my eyes like the floor of a river, I never knew I am so attached to him until today, that I care so much about him.

I ran out of the building in search for a Masjid, "There it is" I whispered to my Self I prayed Two Raka'at and asked Allah the giver of life and death, whom health and wealth belong to, to heal Ya Salim, to give him the strength to over come this, I cried like a woman who just lost her husband, mine was different though, it was silent, words can't explain how I feel now.

"Surayya" someone called me, I turned and saw Maami with teary eyes, "Maami" I whispered and hugged her, letting more tears to fall.

"It's okay, I know, Just calm down, okay, he'll be fine, everything will be fine, just have faith, and keep on praying for him" she said and I nodded my head.My head was still aching but I don't care, all I want now is Ya Salim to wake up.

"Surayya you should eat something" Maami said, "No Maami, I'm not hungry" I said.

"I know, but you've not eating anything since yesterday" Maami said and began to feed me, I ate a little and took my medicine.

We prayed Zuhr and went back to the Emergency waiting room, no one was there, not even Ya Hanif, I saw a nurse and asked her where they are, and she told me has been moved to another room.

She guided us to the room, I wanted to enter, but the Doctor said only one person is allowed to, and I think ya Hanif is already inside.

He came out after some minutes with a smile plastered on his face, "Alhamdulillah" I whispered, Maami did the same but hers was louder.
"He is fine but he is still asleep, he will wake up soon" ya Hanif said.

"He came to my house three days ago telling me he will be going back to Kaduna, so what brought him back" Maami asked. "No one knows why he came back or why he used a train" Ya Hanif said

Even if it was something important wasn't he suppose to take a flight, I'll make sure I scold him when he wakes up, I'll not talk to him again until he apologizes, I almost had a heart Attack. I rested my head on Maami's laps, and in less than a minute, I dozed off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Surayya, Surayya, Auta wake up" Ya Hanif called my name. "You should go in and stay with him, I'll be taken Maami home, Take care" he said.
I nodded my head and hugged Maami, "Take care" Maami said.

I entered the room immediately they left, that's what I've been waiting for. I entered the room and saw him asleep, he had an oxygen tank on him. I rushed to the bed and hugged him, letting the desperate tears roll down from my eyes.

"Ya Salim please wake up, wake up, don't leave me alone please, I need you, I..I..Love you, please.. please" I whispered to myself. "Sorry Ma, he can't hear you, Don't worry your husband will soon wake up,but for now please let him have some rest" A nurse who just came in said.

I nodded my head and cleaned the tears on my face feebly, I sat down and watch him sleeping. I never new I've been sitting for long until I looked up and saw the wall clock saying the time is 1:23am.

I guess I dozed off a little, Didn't ya Hanif come back, I looked at ya Salim and saw that the oxygen tank has been removed, he is getting better, Alhamdulillah.

I heard the toilet door open so I checked and saw a strange woman, "Sannu fah,(well done)" she said."Sannu" I said back.

"I'm Salim's uncle's wife" she said.
"Oh well done Ma, Good day" I greeted.
"Don't you think you are going to far?" She asked, I really don't understand what she meant by I am going too far. "Sorry Aunty, I don't understand" I said. "Are you two in a relationship?" She asked.

I now understand where she is heading to, "Sorry please excuse me" I said and rushed to the bathroom. I came out after some minutes and thank God she was not in the room.

I used the telephone in the room to call ya Hanif, I asked him to bring my phone and some other stuffs.
The Nurse later came in and checked him. That woman came back and I had no choice but to pretend to be asleep before she bombard me with more questions.

In my heart,I prayed to almighty Allah to you give him good health, I prayed that he wakes up safe and sound.
