Farrah was so indulged in her work,she didn't care about the people that were passing so she didn't spare any of them a glance.

"Dr Farrah can we talk?":She heard the voice she really didn't want to hear.

One thing about her is that she is very simple and free but that doesn't mean you should take her for granted,she knows that she deserves respect,care and love and anyone who is not ready to give her that she let that person be,she cannot force someone to like her.

"Am working":She replied without turning around.

She wasn't looking at him but she knew that he sat down because of the squick a chair made indicating that someone sat down on it.

"Am so sorry for not coming that day, I had somewhere important to go":He said and she finally turned around coming face to face with Dr Walid who was looking so handsome but she decided not to drool over him for now.

"My problem is not the fact that you didn't come Dr Walid,of course you have your own life and schedules and emergencies do happen,it is just the way you cancelled it"

"That message was so rude and it indicated how much you really didn't care about how I will feel"

She closed her eyes frustratedly and then open them.

"You didn't apologize and say it was something you had to do,you just said "I can't make it,maybe next time" like Dr Walid what do you really think of me?,a doll or what"

"I have feeling am a human being and am not perfect how do you expect me to understand that message of yours"

She was on the verge of bursting with anger,she knew what he did was wrong but right now that she was reminiscing it she realized that he really treated her like she was some sort of a doll,scratch that dolls are important so he really treated her like she was some sort of an unimportant thing.

"I want to show you something,please follow me":he said and she rolled her eyes turning back to her work.

"Farrah please":he pleaded.

She turned to look into his eyes,after all she is good at reading the sincerity of a person through his eyes and today when she took a closer look into Dr Walid's eyes,she saw nothing but pain which she have no clue about,she have always seen anger in his eyes,confidence and rudeness in his eyes but today this pain in his eyes made her feel like she have failed in really studying people when it comes to eyes.

Because those eyes right now says the total opposite of what she have been thinking all this while.

"After you":She said without second thought.

He gave her the most brightest smile he can ever come up with which made her also smile.

She needed to know why he didn't come,maybe after knowing she will find peace with herself because it has been bugging her for a while now and it is really time she let it slide but that will be after knowing his reason.

They reached the car and entered and both of them were very quite,had it been with Mubin then definitely the car ride would have been so amazing,he would try to annoy her and she will have a better comeback for him but now it is so boring because it is Dr Walid.

"Why am I even comparing both of them?":She asked herself slowly and silence was her answer.

No matter how talkative she is,she only talks with people she is free with and moreover she likes Dr Walid so she needs to act calm in-front of him even though she believes in the fact that you should always be yourself but she still thinks she needs time before she shows Dr Walid her crazy side.

She looked at him in confusion when he stopped in-front of a hospital which is a private hospital in-fact it is the biggest hospital in the whole of Adamawa.

"What I want to show you is here":he clarified even though she had tons of question on her mind,she just nod her head and followed him inside.

They walked side by side inside the hospital and they climbed the stairs them made their way to a corner where no one was there,just a few nurses were walking around the ward if she may name it.

They reached a room and he opened the door and asked her to come in.

A girl of about 13 years old was lying on the bed and she sat up when she saw him,she smiled and hugged him but when she saw Farrah her grip on Dr Walid tightened and she began to cry,it seemed like the girl is a special child.

"Dahlia it is okay,she is my friend which means she is also your friend,look she have even bought this chocolate for you":He said bringing out a chocolate from his pocket making Dahlia smile.

"Hello Dahlia,am Farrah":Farrah said smiling as she looked at the beautiful girl who looks like Dr Walid.

Dahlia took time before she became free with Farrah and they played and even ordered food to eat but it was only Farrah and Walid that ate because Dahlia doesn't eat food,she is only allowed to take chocolate once in a while,Dahlia finally slept off holding Dr Walid's hand.

"She is my sister":Dr Walid answered one of Farrah's question which she didn't ask.

"Dahlia had special problem since from birth,after my father's death mom neglected both of us and got married again,she left Dahlia with me and her problem started worsening,she cannot talk or eat,she cannot even walk some of my relatives started helping but they stopped and I had to engage myself in small jobs so that I can take care of Dahlia,she is scared of people and she also have leukamia":He kept quite and Farrah was silent,many problems all at once for a little girl like Dahlia.

We all should really thank God that we are healthy.

"Am sorry about what happened":She was good at consoling people but now that Dr Walid was breaking down she have lost all her words of encouragement.

"On the day of our date Dahlia got really sick and I had to run to the hospital that was why my message was short, I wasn't in my right senses because I really thought that my baby sister wasn't going to make it,I thought she was going to die Farrah"

"She was laid there looking like a lifeless person and I just couldn't think right":he said shaking his head with utmost pain.

Farrah couldn't help but feel bad for being angry at him,she should have been a little bit patient but she added tons of weight on his shoulders even though he was going through alot.

"Doctor Walid it is okay,Allah is with you and insha Allah all your sorrows are coming to an end":Farrah said smiling a little and he nod his head in agreement mouthing an "Insha Allah".

They got back to the hospital silently because she had a therapy session with Mubi aka her friend aka Mubi aka genius.

She sat down lost in her own train of thoughts,Doctor Walid is really a strong man because he have never shown any sign of distress.

Mubin walked majestically into the cabin with a smug smile on his face.

"Mr Mubin we are here":he heard Kamal's voice and he smiled then sat down on his chair.

"Is Farrah here?":he asked and Kamal answered with a yes.

Farrah looked up at Mubin and a smile caressed her face.

"Mubi do you know what today is?":She asked and he gave her a confused look.

Farrah felt a pang of disappointment due to the fact that Mubin forgot what today is to her.

"Is something special about today?":he asked showing his non interest in the topic.

"Today is a very special day to me":she replied praying he gets the hint.

"Today is not the day we met since it hasn't been upto a year, I would have said it is your special day because you met someone as handsome as me":He flaunted smiling sheepishly all in the name of trying to annoy her.

Farrah huffed in anger as she eyes him.

"I just eyed you and please stop thinking you are handsome because you are not":She said rolling her eyes.

"Well someone whose name starts with F told me that am so handsome and she is even jealous of my handsomeness":He said fanning his face with his hands.

"Well F doesn't have eyes":Farrah replied internally regretting that she called him handsome because she fed his ego.

"Well F is you,so you don't have eyes":he said laughing and Farrah decided to change the topic.

"Let's be professional":Farrah said clearing her throat.

"Changing the topic huh,what about the special day":he asked emphasizing each word.

"Forget about it,it was my mistake to really think that you did remember":She huffed as she opened his file.

Moments of silence prevailed them,Mubin was waiting for her to talk and she was thinking of how to be professional with this stubborn patient turned friend of hers.

"So Mr Mubin is there any progress?":She asked.

Of course there is progress since he even told you about his past and even how he got blind now you just have to convince him about the surgery in a way he would easily agree to.

Well that was her inner voice.

"A little":he replied and she felt like slapping him like what did he mean by a little.

"Good at least we are making progress":She said sarcastically.

"So can you say out one sentence with ten words which describes how you feel about being blind":She said as she adjust herself on the seat.

She was expecting him to say "I am not hurt about being blind it's my punishment".

Mubin smiled sadly as he carried a cup of water from a table and gulped it down,Farrah is used to him keeping quiet and taking time before he answers but today is entirely different,he took a lot of time that she really thought that he wasn't going to answer her.

But then he said the sentence that will be embedded into her heart forever,the sad smile that was caressing his face and the weight of the emotions in his voice makes her feel those words shoot her like a bullet of emotions.

"Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."

"Perhaps it is"
