     ACT -I

      Loud sound of ambulance siren echoed in everyone’s head, it is an emergency someone said loud, take her inside fast to the ICU theatre. Fear and sadness took a phase on the faces of her parents. Doctor Adu Chen, her team, nurses, and everyone there was in a frightened mode because it was a rare condition. Adu Chen was an amazing doctor, she was educated from Korea, she belongs from South-Korea and now she resides in New-York (State), Golden hills (city). The Ever-Shine hospital has best records of all time. After 1 whole hour dr. Adu came out of emergency room and said Mr. & Mr’s Johnsen, it`s nothing to worry about, she is now in a better condition. And you both can go and meet Jesah now, but only for some time because, she just came out of danger so, she needs proper rest. After some-time, Sofia and John goes inside to meet Jesah, & as they enter the room, they burst into tears by looking at they’re daughter in such condition. As Jesah was really pretty girl, with long brown hairs with light brown highlights, brown eye color just like a pond of honey, with fair skin tone, slim trim and just looking like a model even in such condition. She was a very kind girl, she was just like a small kid with pure heart, she use to get happy on small things she didn’t ever liked to be demanding to anyone nor even her parents. Her mom was a house wife and her dad owned a mall, which was a heritage by her grand-dad. Jesah slightly opens her eyes while blinking slowly and gives a smile by looking at her parents, they came near her and lean towards her and kissed her forehead one by one. Jesah says (by keeping herself and voice strong) you guys don’t have to worry,

 I`ll be ok soon then we all will go to Disney-Land and will have an amazing candle light dinner together, I promise. Mr. & Mr’s Johnsen’s smiles with a drop of tears in their eye and said yes honey! We surely will. Jesah’s parents always took proper care of her but, still they were always worried, possessed and scared from the time they have lost their son Zayn, who was suffering from blood cancer. The Johnsen’s family was a high-class decent Christian family living in New-York (State), Golden hills (city). And then second day when doctor Adu Chen came back to see Jesah, she brought her reports in which it was clearly mention that, she was suffering from Cystic fibrosis (Lung disease). In which the patient can’t breathe the same air as the other common peoples, they need purified air and stay in a close room or else they have to carry the oxygen cylinder with a pipe connected to it till nose to breathe. They have to maintain at least 6 to 7 feet from other people while having a conversation, or any kind an exchange, work. Patient suffering from this disease can’t have any physical relation with a person suffering from same disease or any physical activity that have lungs, breathing system included. Cause they need to have the proper amount of oxygen all the time. Slowly, slowly as the time was passing, 1 month completed and Jesah was starting to losing hopes and strength by staying in bed 24/7 and still showed her parents and Dr. Adu as she was too strong and happy, just to see all of them happy and to make them feel better. She use to take a walk daily in the whole hospital and now she was also getting used to it. It was important for her too, as for the body motions and movements. She also started making new friends in hospital as it has been a long while for her. She got a girl named Ferheen Garcia, with long black hair fully white skin as milk, black eyes just like a deep well, a little chubby, full of joy and fun, in short you can say she was just like a small pack or amazing fireworks. She was in the hospital due to her surgery of back tumor, and now the water is starting to get filled up inside her back bone, it was very risky thing that is why, she has to stay in hospital under the observation of the doctor’s. her mom uses to take care of her as her dad recently died in army. Jesah and Ferheen became really good friends as it is said that sudden friendships are always the best kind of friendship. Jesah met Ferheen while she went to grab some evening snacks for herself in the hospital’s café and as there was only a single bag of potato chips left and 2 peoples wanted it so they started snatching it from each other hand then they both suddenly started laughing and decide to share it instead. So that’s how they’re friendship started. Ferheen even moved to the room next to Jesah’s room. Ferheen use to give a lot of strength to Jesah by sitting next to her and playing guitar for her and Jesah use to sit near her and sing with the tune of Ferheen’s guitar. That melody uses to give strength to a lot of peoples as they use to sing or play in the cafeteria or just in the hospitals garden area. Everyone started calling them flesh and soul because they were really nothing without each other. Everyone started knowing them, loving them and started waiting for them exactly at 5 pm in evening for their songs or poems. Even the old patients came in the garden area to meet them and to hear they’re voice, some said they give them strength & hope to live, some said they get peace of mind from they’re voice; some find they’re lost person in their voice and everyone starts smiling and enjoying the time. and as the patients were happy doctor’s and the head in-charge also allowed them for it. They both kept cute little short names for each other, Ferheen use to call Jesah Jen. And her Jen use to call her my panda as she was white, cute and fluffy. She they loved each other a lot, they were like sisters more than best-friends.

   Act-2

Soon it was going to be Jen’s B’day on 21 June so, Ferheen was thinking to plan something amazing for her birthday. But it was a-bit impossible to arrange things at the hospital. As noise is not allowed in-side there. Days passed and slowly-slowly they both started becoming closer and closer. So, for all the birthday stuffs, Ferheen told her mom to get them, but her mom was worried that if it won’t be allowed to do such things, she will be broken, still her mom did not deny and brought the things in the list which Ferheen gave to her mom: Balloons, Scented candles (as Jesah loved the scented once). The spiral-colored paper rolls, party pops, red velvet Cake and a lot more things which is needed in the birthday celebrations. So, on 20th June at night Ferheen asked for the permission of Dr. Adu Chen and she was so nice and pleasant she allowed them but just for 30 min or may be 40 but, not more than that as it was dangerous for Jesah. So as Dr Adu knew the surprise plan, she helped Ferheen and took Jesah for walk in the garden of the hospital, meanwhile Ferheen, her mom, Jesah’s parents helped Ferheen to decorate the room; with the scented candles, amazing-colored spiral rolls, balloons and the beautiful red velvet cake with white-chocolate swirl’s on top with cake crumbles on it. And Ferheen was ready with an amazing poem for her as she was really nice at writing. All the lights were switched off, only the candles where lit and they were burning with an amazing smell of vanilla & cinnamon while they heard her footsteps coming near to the room, and suddenly the door opened, Jesah came inside then went close to the plug board and suddenly a loud noise echoed – SURPRISE JESAH. And all the lights were immediately turned on, Jesah got tears in her eye and said I thought, I won’t be able to celebrate my birthday this year.

In that silence suddenly a soft slow voice came up.

        I’ll never let your beautiful face get dull or fade.

        I wish, I could take you to the moon,

       I’ll never let you cry or break-apart,

       and if you be sad, I’ll be there to make you laugh.

      I’ll be there to hold you…

     Even in the crowd of millions, if you shout my name out loud;

     I’ll be there to Hold you ... 

                              By: Jenniffer Khan.

And suddenly Jen burst into tears and ran to hug Ferheen as fast as she could then every-one clapped for her, then the birthday song began (Happy Birthday to You, happy birthday dear Jesah, may god bless you ….)

And then she cutt’ed her cake and gave the first bite to Ferheen then her mom dad and Ferheen’s mom she gave her lots of blessing as she was a typical Muslim mom believing in her dua’s and verses. Then Jen went to her best-friend and said thank you, thank you for everything. I really thought this year I won’t get to see my birthday and this amazing smell of candles is really changing the whole mood and this soft and slow music is like love in the air. And then suddenly her mom started some party music and then all of them started dancing, giggling and then suddenly a glass of juice felt down so Jesah’s mom just bend down to pick the plastic glass up, so no one steps on it and slips off. And suddenly she hit her back on the music speaker and the sound became from soft 15 to electric 100. and suddenly from that voice everyone in the hospital started gathering and from that rush, Jen suddenly started having low oxygen problem and fainted immediately. And everyone started panicking and calling the doctor. Dr. Adu came and took her to another room gave her proper oxygen, then asked everyone what exactly happen so, they said as it is, whatever just happened few moments ago. Then the Dr. took her parents out of the room and said don’t take her health lightly it is getting slowly bad day-by-day we have to start getting serious and find a best pair of lungs as soon as we can. And said them to let her sleep properly this night and not to worry right-now, and also said Ferheen not to blame her-self for all this. This isn’t your fault honey said Jesah’s mom to Ferheen. After the doctor left, Ferheen took permission from Jesah’s mom to stay inside Jesah’s room on the couch and sleep there so if she needs any-thing I’ll be right by her side. So, her mom understood her emotions and agrees to her. Next morning as Jen wakes up, she had a habit to drink water first, as she tries to reach to the jar of water as softly as she could. After having water, she goes and sit on the floor next to couch wondering and murmuring slowly, what were my truly good deeds, that I got a best-friend like you and kisses her forehead. Then she tries to go back to her bed by having the support of the couch she tries to get up and from that grip on couch, Ferheen wakes up and says good morning, how are you feeling my Jen are you alright, I’m really sorry for last night. Shh, my panda it was nothing caused by you. You made my day, you made it my best birthday ever so never think that. Your soul to my body, panda to my bamboo trees (they both starts laughing and hug each other tightly and whisper in each-others ears that please don’t ever leave me). I can lose anything but you. Then Jesah asks her panda that were you laying on this stupid rock couch all night?

Hahaha, yea I was too scared last night so I took permission and slept near you. (doctor. Adu knocks the door) hey honey bunny sorry to interrupt you guys but, Jen I have to check you once please…

She checks her, then says yea you are now totally fine just take proper care of yourself. And take your medicines on time and tell me or the nurses if something is wrong or you need anything. Panda nods her head in up and down direction and says yea doctor I’ll make sure she is well and fine. Doctor smiles and says you little monsters take care of yourself I’m leaving you guys alone now.

(And then they spend a week like this by taking care of each other the whole time.)

   Act-3

(Then after few days, happiness gave a knock at Jesah’s door) Dr. goes in while Jesah was sitting in her room with her parents and her cute panda (Ferheen). Doctor said out loud by coming close to Jesah and said; honey I have one good news for you, (in soft voice she said) we have got new pair of lungs for you. Everyone got a shock and happiness reaction on their faces, everyone got tears of joy in their eyes.

(Dr. Adu asked Jesah’s parents to come out of the room) doctor said Mr. & Mr’s Johnsen now we have total 4 to 6 hours and you don’t have to worry or panic, we have checked the blood group, and everything and the lungs are in healthy condition too. Dr. Adu said nurses to get ready with the operation theater and other co-doctor for the transplant of Jesah. After half-an-hour the nurse came out of the operation theater and said doctor Adu; Ma’am the operation theater is ready. Doctor went to Jesah holds her hand softly and said honey lets go inside, everyone was sitting near her and after hearing these words from doctor everyone got tears in their eyes. Jesah said with smile on her face; don’t worry you guys, I’ll be right back ok so just keep smiling ok! And she went inside with the doctor to the operation theater the light out-side the theater went white to red (in-operating). The glucose bottle with anesthesia was injected on her wrist. And in few minute she became unconscious.

Her parents, her best-friend and best-friends mom was waiting out of the operation theater praying for her good health and successful operation and condition. After several hours and doctors hard-work, doctor came out and said the operation was successful. She will open her eyes in 30 to 40 mins, still she is just out from operation so, we have to keep her for week or two under our observation and then you can take her home but still she has to come for monthly checkup. Her parents agree with joy, doctor Adu also said them not to be too loud for a while with her cause she will not be in her proper senses today.

After sometime when Jesah opens her eyes, she sees a guy in black cardigan sweatshirt and beige jeans with jet black messy hairs, honey brown eyes, rosy lips and he was about 5.8 height; Staring at Jesah. Do I know you? Jesah asked… He smiled and suddenly someone knocked the door and while turning around and looked at the door, and there was her parents, Ferheen, and her mom at the door. And the guy who was just there inside a few moments ago isn’t there right now. She ignores that guy thing for a while. Mr’s Johnsen: honey is you feeling alright now, yea mum I said you I’m strong, I’ll do it. Yea my child you are but we were worried about you, as we are a parent. Jen my wonder women now, I can say you are really strong (said Ferheen while hugging her softly). Don’t worry you guys, I’m never going to leave you’ll. Then the doctor came and said sorry to disturb you guys but, now please let Jesah take some rest. Next day Ferheen knocked Jen’s door, came inside quietly and then waited for her Jen to wake up. As she opened her eyes her panda went running with a glass of water for her, as she had a habit of having water as she wakes up. Then they did a lot of gossip and then Jen also told her panda about that guy who she saw yesterday. His looks, his outfit, the way he looked at her and smiled. They both started laughing and Jen started blushing a bit, when her panda started teasing her with that guy but, then Jesah realize that she doesn’t even know his name. So, they both made a plan to start searching for that guy if he is inside the hospital till Jesah is going to be discharge. From the next day, when Jen got out of her bed, they both started searching for that guy and they also asked people by explaining his facial features and looks. After so many days and so many tries, and enjoying so much together, they got tired and stopped their search and the day when Jesah is going to be discharge came. While leaving, Jesah had eye full of tears as now she won’t be able to spend every moment with her panda. Yea Jesah was an angelic benignant personality that she doesn’t get attached to each an every-one but with whom she gets its whole heartedly. And now her panda was just like her sister, because they use to eat together, do fun together, gossip all time and also slept together at many times. But she promised Ferheen to come and visit in every week for sure. Then by hugging each other really tight, she sits in car with eye full of tears.

She reaches home, her beautiful 2 story house with amazing garden and swimming pool as soon as, she enters the house her dog was waiting for her, he started barking as, he saw Jen and started crawling on her with joy.

But her mom caught her dog and told Jen to go to her room and rest for now. And now everyone started calling Jesah as Jen, as they all got the habit of Ferheen and yea it was small and cute name too. After resting for an hour, she went to kitchen for drink some water and said her mom that she was missing her panda already, she was really soul to her body of flesh. So, her mom said yea I can understand but now you have to rest then you even have to go for your college’s 1st day on coming Monday and you can write her something and say to her, next time you meet, and for now just take care ok?

 Yea mum ok, I’ll surely, thankyou mum you are the best. And she goes back to her room and starts to think what she is going to write for her panda or give her something for showing her love. She starts writing a poem for her. And after a week, finally the day arrives when, she haves to go to college as it will be her first day and she was really excited for her first day. To see new environment, peoples, crowd and books. Finally, the day arrived and she was very excited, she ironed her dress that she is going to wear next morning the accessories and while doing these all it became almost 2 at night and she didn’t even notice. So, she kept that things aside and went to sleep. Next day she woke up late, due to that she wasn’t able to do the breakfast and left fast as she could, for her 1st day of college. While reaching for the bus stop it started raining and it was almost the climate of winter, it was really an unexpected rain so, she didn’t even have an umbrella with her. So, she saw here and there and found the roof of a café nearby then, she ran towards the roof and stood under the roof in the hope of a sun to arrive and rain to stop so, she can get a bus as soon as she can. While standing under the roof a guy in black cardigan, black jeans and long brownish beige coat came and stood beside her and smiled at her.

   Act-4

 As she starts thinking about who he is? And after few minutes of recollecting her memory, she realizes that, he is the same guy, she saw in her hospital room after her surgery. So, Jen asks him!

“hey, what is your name? I have seen you, In my room after my surgery” …

And after few minutes suddenly the rain stopped and sun came with its bright raise, she smiled and said bye. (Then she though it was a bit strange) And left for her bus. She took the ticket and sat on a window seat of the bus, as she loved to enjoy nature and fresh air. And then suddenly that guy came and sat next to her with the ticket same as her for Brookstone Oxy University. This time Jesah sat back quiet as she felt ashamed when he didn’t reply her question few moments ago. After 5 minutes he asked her, what is your name (she sat quiet for few minutes) then he saw her with a pleasing smile with a question mark on his face. So, she replied my name is Jen sorry I mean Jesah Johnsen, what is your name she asks? My name is Zayan Miller. Then she asked him where is he going? He replied, I’m going college. Oh ok. Then she said can I ask you one thing if you don’t feel bad, he said I think you like to ask questions. (So, in that awkward moment she gets quiet). Hehe, I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m sorry, you can ask me I’ll reply it honestly. That day in hospital you came in my room and smiled as you knew me, what was the reason behind that?

 Yea, I entered your room that day by mistakenly as, I was searching for someone else and by mistakenly, I entered your room, and as you’re really so beautiful that I wasn’t able to take my eyes of you for a moment; I’m sorry, if I made you feel awkward that day. While they were totally busy in their talks, the college’s bus stop passed by then after 5 minutes they realize that they have come a little far from college and then they got down right there then took a walk till college. After they entered the college and they were still so busy in their talks as they knew each other since long time. Jen felt amazing as she didn’t feel awkward to have this long conversation with a complete stranger. She spends her whole day in college with him as he was in the same class as her (literature). She came home with a smile which was wide from ear to ear. Then she went up-stairs got fresh and then called her panda & started telling everything she did and how she met that guy again, but panda do you know this guy doesn’t haves a phone but, he is really cute. Then they both talked for hours on call laughing, giggling together just like a young -teenagers. Jesah’s mom was really happy watching her daughter being so happy after a long while and now she is recovering faster too, and yea she was also excited to go college the next day. Few days later they both decided to wear same color cloths and do twinning it just seem like teen-to-do thing. Every-time she met him she asked him why doesn’t you use a phone? if you want, I can give you one and you can use it.

 Hehe no my Jen, I don’t use it because I don’t want too, and I don’t even like it. Because it takes our important moments from us, like while watching a sunset, without a phone I enjoy it and if I would have a phone, I will always try to capture thing rather than enjoying them. And it is always disturbing, as people are always calling you, texting you like; where are you? how are you? But no one really cares. But without phone you can know, as the person who really cares about you will still try to be in contact with you even without cellphone. From that very same moment, she stopped asking him questions about this and was happy to have him by her-side. They also went club and both of them enjoyed, sang a lot of songs in karaoke, danced, laughed. Jen became so tired that she wasn’t able to walk, so Zayan carried her on his back and gave her a piggyback ride to the cab, then dropped her to her house. She reached home safely.

A week and two passed by, then Zayan and Jesah planned to go on shopping then go for a weekend outing. So, they decided to meet at the center of the Ley-line mall. (As Zayan didn’t have cellphone so Jesah and Zayan always decided one day prior about the next day and plan) They decided to meet at 2 pm exact.

 Zayan was waiting for Jen in olive green sweatshirt and off-white pant with black long coat as winter was about to start. He was standing with a bouquet of red roses and sunflower waiting for Jesah to come. She came and hugged him from behind, he immediately turned around with a big smile on his face. He saw a beautiful girl in red dress full length with white furry jacket, with red lipstick and eyeliner simple and really adorable girl, Jesah. Then they both hold each other’s hand and took a walk to the whole mall in between, Jen saw a pair of gloves in pure white color with small fine cut black diamonds attached to it and she really loved white color so she saw it with spark in her eyes so, Zayan left her hand then went inside the showroom to ask for it but Jen kept on calling him back as it was quite expensive as they were extravagant. But he went inside and bought it for her, she got smile on her face but she felt a bit bad she thought that she is being too demanding.

 So, she promises him that now I’ll gift you first then only will take anything else from you and he agrees on it. So, she wore them immediately and got a big smile on her face just the same way as a small kid gets when they get a new toy they ask for. Zayan use to love it when he became the reason behind her happiness. After that, he dropped her home in cab and they also decided to go on outing and she also promise to make that day as his best day. She asks him for his address, so he gave his address to her and then left by saying goodnight by giving her a kiss on her forehead.

As she reached home, she was so excited, she asks her mom for the permission to go for outing, her mom asked with whom you’re going, she said a boy that I like, I’ll surely make you meet him soon and I promise you’ll love him. He is the best I ever had, her mom smiles and says ok honey just take care, and gave her some safety measures for emergency but, Jen kept on saying her mom, that he is a really nice guy, you don’t have to worry.

 Then she goes back to her room to prepare for tomorrows outing and also calls her panda to tell her everything that happened today and what she will do tomorrow, they both had a long conversation on call, while talking she also prepared her bag for the outing. Then they both hang up the call and slept.

     

  Act-5

Next morning, she woke up with a pretty smile by fantasizing about the way she is going to spend the day, she went and got fresh took a bath and wore an amazing baby yellow color dress with small white flowers on it and blue denim jacket with a messy bun, retro sneakers made it look perfect outfit for an outing. She took her picnic basket in which she kept hand-made chicken sandwiches, berries box, some juice cans, chocolates in a small cute box and much more. She went down-stairs and took her mom’s car then went to pick Zayan up at his place. She reached and waited for him to arrive, as he came, then they first went to tree light café where they both saw each other the second time, to grab some coffee for themselves from drive-through then took a turn back to the road. (A place where there is a pleasant vibe with pleasing view) She drove for 1 hour straight from that café to Kirei Shinzō (奇麗 思い) which is an amazing Sakura (cherry blossom) garden, they she took 2 tickets then they both went inside with they’re picnic basket. The Sakura flowers were falling over them slowly, the soft cold breeze was passing by their faces and people around were enjoying in peace and silence it was really very relaxing place. They laid their picnic sheet on the grass and then kept the basket above it, Zayan also bought her some amazing yellow sunflowers and red roses for her. They opened they’re chicken sandwich and a can of juice and started enjoying, they also did gossip about many things, she told him about her best-friend panda. after that Jesah suddenly stood up and then asked him will you be my love partner, I don’t know if it’s the right time or not but, I have really started to have feeling for you the way you care for me the way you look at me, talk to me.

(In medium tone)-

 Zayan hold her handmade her sit down then replied: see Jesah I can promise to be there for you when-ever you need but, I can’t say anything about this, as you know I’m practical person, I believe anything can happen at any moment and I don’t want you to cry for me ever. I really love your smile that means, I want this smile on your face now and always, no matter what is the reason is. She got tears in her eyes after hearing the reason behind his ‘No’, but also felt really special as someone thought in this way for her. Because in this generation people are all about body and lust, there are rarely some people left who really love your soul and your heart so, she agreed to him. But took a promise that as you said, you’ll be there for me whenever I think right? Yea my dear. I’ll always be there for you right beside you, no matter what. After spending the whole-day, they went to the seaside named as Lana Coraline. They saw sunset by holding hands and enjoyed each and every moment they spend together that day. While she dropped him at his place and told him my mom wants to meet you, she wants to see the real reason behind my smile. He said but I’m busy, she said, ok so just let me know once your free. And yeah, I will go and meet Ferheen tomorrow, if your free, you can join me too. Yea I’ll try too.

Then she went at home and her mom asked her; what she did the whole day? How was her day and everything, and she told her each and everything! her mom was really happy by hearing, what Zayan actually felt for Jesah! She said honey that is really good but now you have to go and rest and sleep and will go to meet your best-friend tomorrow morning and also for your monthly checkup. She went to her room upstairs and took a hot water bath, get dressed in her pajama’s and went off to sleep. The next day she wakes up and get fresh and goes down stairs for having breakfast and also to ask her mom and dad when will they leave for the hospital?

 They had waffles, pancakes some fruit and also had a nice talk with each other.

 “After 1 hour later dad asked her, are you ready dear?                           

Yea dad just getting down stairs just give me a minute.                           

Ok honey, I’m in car with your mom come fast.”                               

She goes and sits in the car, and they had some chit chats on the way to hospital. As soon as she reaches the hospital she runs as fast as she could to the lift (slow down honey you can get hurt) her mom said and while going on third floor the lift stopped on 1st and it was Zayan, she became happier to see him, she said; come I’ll make you meet my panda finally and mom is also coming. He gave an awkward smile to Jen. And when they were going to her panda’s room, he said I’ll be right here you come out if you need me in very low tone. She goes inside and Ferheen had tears of joy in her eyes she was attached to the glucose bottle in her wrist, still she got up took the poll in which the glucose bottle was hanging, then they both hugged each other very tightly and the saw each other continues for a hot minute like a mother sees her baby for first time, a thirsty person sees a river. They both had tears in their eyes which spoke more then they’re word would ever explain, that how much they missed each other. Jesah’s & Ferheen’s mom came and saw them like this they both also got tears in their eyes. Then they gave both the best-friends some private time together. Both of them sat on Ferheen’s bed then Jesah said; I left you here to be alright soon fast and come home not to get sicker,

 “why are you not taking proper care of yourself?

“Is the staff not taking care of you should I go and have a word with them?

 No, my Jen everything is alright it’s just I’m getting weaker day by day since the day you left but don’t worry all your prayers are with me, I’ll be alright soon and come out and we both will have a lot of fun. Leave this all and say what about that black t-shirt. His name is Zayan, he is an amazing person with best kind of heart. We went to the Kirei Shinzō.

“Oh, that beautiful Sakura garden we planned to go right?

Yea sorry nah don’t be mad now, I promise to take you there really soon and then we will sing one of your beautiful song right there. Ok I trust you, said her panda. Aye, you know I brought you some strawberry cakes and Oreo cheese cake, I know you love it a lot so, keep it somewhere safe and clean and have when no one is around ok. Ok my Jen.

  Act-6

 When are you making me meet Zayan? (asks Ferheen)

 Oh shit, shit, shit!                                                        

  I totally forgot, he is standing outside since I came in here, he said he will be waiting for me. Oh waiting, waiting I see! (her panda said in cheesy way). Jen started blushing and holds her hand and took her out to make her meet Zayan. They both went out in the hospital passage and Jen said yeah here you go, this is my Zayan; who is keeping me busy these days and also way from my panda at times.

(Ferheen gave really a downcast reaction with smile)

“My dear where is he why can’t I see him?

“Stop kidding panda, I know you like to make fun of me, but he is right here!

 “But Jesah I’m not kidding, I really can’t see him!

Ok wait let me ask someone else so she hold a nurse walking by and asks her:

 “can you see this guy beside me?

 “Are you alright?

 there is no one beside you!

Jesah felt weird & grave reaction and she ran as fast as she could and hold her mom’s hand and said she wants to go home.

“Honey are you alright did you had any fight with your best-friend, we also have an appointment for your monthly checkup?

Mom just take me home please!”

 Ok honey calm down, car is in the parking lot, you go and sit inside the car, I’m coming ok. (Her mom went to Ferheen and asked what have happened between them, then Ferheen said everything that happened just a moment ago and her mom couldn’t believe herself and ran to the car.) Then she calm’s herself down and asked Jesah, honey when will you make me meet that guy of your dream? Mom can we talk about this later on if you don’t mind?

Yea sure. (they drove to home from the hospital)

As soon as Jen reaches home, she gets down from the car, she goes to her room and closes the door of her room than just sat down next to the door and started crying then said:

Am I still so sick or is Zayan really not there?

As she raised her head up, she saw Zayan, she immediately hugged him as tightly as she could & said I thought everything is going to be shattered …

My small baby nothing has been shattered; everything is alright ok? (said Zayan by wiping her tears). After that he tucked her in her bed then, she went to sleep than woke up next day and saw her mom was standing in front of her with a cup of coffee, she kept the coffee on the table beside her bed and kissed Jesah’s forehead and asked is everything alright honey?

“If you want so you can take a leave from college and rest …

No mom, I’m fine I have to go college, I have assignments to do.

Ok honey, I am waiting for you down stairs with your favorite breakfast, get ready and come fast. (with a smile)

 Yea mom I’m coming.”

After getting ready, she goes down and had her favorite waffle with maple syrup & chocolate and left for college. She met Zayan and then she also made little more friends, she started changing a lot in better way after meeting Zayan. She started talking to people, and now she also started laughing openly with her classmates, sharing her suggestions, being a part of things; now she isn’t shy for doing anything she have got so much confidence that now even, if she falls down in the campus full of people in the college, she uses to stand up again, smile and wipe her knees. And best thing is she had everything now but still, she still didn’t have any attitude or ego to talk or to help anyone. In few days she became really famous person in the college as she was beauty with brains and also the polite one in the whole college. She had her beatific mode on her face all the time.

She started becoming jollier day by day and also started enjoying things & taking part in extra curriculum, her parents were really happy by her this change. She also started partying with her college friends. Meeting them but they all acted strange at moments, when she was with Zayan maybe they don’t like him?

Jesah also started scoring good marks in class. Many days and weeks past like this happily.

(Suddenly dark clouds came over their heads)

The telephone rang and Sofia (Jen’s mom) picked up and just said hello and the news was so doleful, strange that she fainted, (Jen ran towards her mom).

“mom is you alright?

 mom?

(She picked the phone from the ground and said) hello who is this?

Sorry dear we are really sorry to tell you your dad got into a car accident and he is no more, Jen’s eye filled with tears…

 where are you calling from?

Can you send me address on my number 015 271 9143,

 Yea sure.”                                                                       

She ran to get her phone as well as a glass of water she sprinkled few drop on her mom and also gave her to drink some water.

   ACT- 7

Honey, I think I saw a bad dream!

“But why are you crying”?

Mom it wasn’t just a bad dream, it’s a truth and we have to face it together. That stranger has sent me the address, let’s go. And now give me the keys cause you’re not in state to drive, so please let me drive…

“Ok Jen just take me too your dad.”

She removes the car from the parking lot and took her mom to the accident spot. After they saw Mr. John (Jesah’s dad) in such a miserable condition from far, eyes were filled fully with tears just they didn’t let them flow. As her mom gets off the car, she ran too Mr. John (Jesah’s dad) and hold him in her arms and started saying

 “please John getup you can’t leave me like this …

 Please get up (flood of tears was running down from her eyes till the chin.)”

“mom please getup from here, we have to take him from here. This is the middle of the road said Jesah in breaking voice.”

Mr’s. Johnsen got up and hugged her daughter tightly and cried a lot then Jesah took her home and then went hospital to fill all the details and then took her dad’s body home. Then they put him inside the coffin and did the whole Christian memorial commemorate which is done after a person is died and made that coffin ready for burial in the grave-yard.

As it is said a father and daughter relation is more precious, than any treasure in the whole world. A daughter is the strength to her father and her father is like her super hero and even her first love, no matter how ever he stays. But once he leaves your hand you feel very low and weak even, thou you are healthy.

Once a great personality said:

“Once I hold my daughters’ hand and asked her who is the strongest?

I am; she replied

He asked how?

Then she left his hand then she said; now I’m the weakest thing in the whole world!

But why my dear?

Because you are my super power, my strength. Who-ever I’m, how-ever I’m, it’s just because of you! With you I am everything, or may be something but without you I am nothing.

In that commemorate Jesah said few words for her dad as eulogy:

“You always teach me how to learn,

You also showed me the world full of fun.

Whenever I did something wrong

 You made me run just to keep me away from mom’s anger,

Whenever someone was bad to me you showed them gun.

I am the proudest daughter any girl could ever be…

You protected me from the evil and monsters under my bed

And I don’t know, what I’ll do no, when your dead.

Wish you were here but you’re not 

But you’ll always be with me in my memories.”

I love you dad…

Everyone got tears in their eyes, then everyone came and slowly gave sympathy and wishes to Mr’s Johnsen and Jesah. And tribute to Mr. Johnsen by keeping flower on his coffin while burial ceremony. After everyone left, Jesah and Mr’s. Johnsen were still sitting near that place where Mr. Johnsen was buried. Jesah lay her head on her mom’s lap and from her eye slowly tears were running down her cheeks, non-stop but she has to control her-self and be brave and take care of her mom. As she promised her dad always that she will take care of her mother no matter what. After sometime, she drove her mom to home and they both spend some time also, she knew this will take a lot of time but it will heal soon. If she tries, her best. She woke up early made breakfast for her mom, she took her to hair spa, nail salon, brought the grocery helped her in house-hold and also managed her dad’s mall. She also helps the home-less people out there with food and shelters. She went for inspection daily after her college and she also decided to keep Ferheen’s mom as a head manager, as she was a single mom and it was too difficult for her to handle everything. She was a well-educated person but due to Ferheen’s health, she has to leave her old job and stay with her but now as Ferheen was a bit stable she wanted to do the job again, because the pension, which they got by her dad’s job was also about to finish as the hospital bills, demands and everything were increasing, and money was the only thing decreasing for her. Even she uses to get that pension but now that was not enough cause Ferheen was also growing and needs were too.

So, she kept Mr’s Garcia as head manager of the mall. And Mr’s Garcia also did her best at work and also took good care even after doing job. Jesah’s mom was really happy watching her daughter this way helping people and doing little things and making them happy. She also started recovering that moment from which she has been/gone through, because it was hard but not impossible.

 Don’t think about what they would say…

People come and people go,

 Maybe you’ll never understand or never know.

Whose last day is with you today,

if you would ever know, you’ll always want that moment to stay.

All you can do is to live your life at the fullest without thinking about other’s,

There is nothing to be tense for the things coming future.

Maybe you don’t realize it today,

Or you may realize when it would be your last day!

So, spend time with the one who loves you today,

Rather than thinking what would the people say 

                                 -Jenniffer Khan.

  Act- 8

After all this, Jesah goes and meet Ferheen and ask for apology for her taut behavior for that day. Ferheen smiles and says: my Jen I can never get mad at you, for more than few minutes, so don’t worry about it and thanks a lot for giving job to my mom. She needed it a lot but, she wasn’t able to tell me, as you know, I’m still recovering. Yea now don’t act like a brooding rabbit ok? Just take care of yourself and don’t worry about anything, I’ll take care of everything & also of your mom.

Jen can I ask you something?

Yea baby say…

Can you come and visit me every week till I’m in here?

Hehe ok, sure panda I’ll come but promise me, that you’ll have your food and meds on time.

Ok now, it’s time for me to leave. I have to go college then also to the mall to see that is everything is on line perfectly.

Yea, yeah business lady you too take care of yourself. (and kissed her forehead as a good bye kiss)

She went to the car in the parking lot, drove herself to college and as she reaches the gate of the college and as she saw Zayan there, she became really happy & excited at same moment.

“Hey Mr. black hoodie gets in the car (she said in very mischievous tone). Hehe Jen now don’t act like this ok (he said while getting inside the car). Oh, sorry I really forgot to tell you my dad pasted away few weeks ago and now I have to handle the mall, home and also my education that’s the reason why, I was not able to meet you. I’m sorry.              

 Nah, nah its totally fine,                                                

 I was busy too, don’t worry, can we have lunch today? (asks Zayan)

Umm sure, will have it but after the college please, I have my presentation in few minutes.

Oh, I see shy person is now getting mixed up with people yeah, and by the smile on your face I feel you’re enjoying too.

Yea, I’m but it’s all because of you, you made me think out of the box, to find rainbow in the rainy day rather than seeing the dirty muddy puddles in the road.

That was a nice one!                                                         

 I see you’re being a bit poetic these days, you’re really happy, aren’t you?

Yeah, I am but for now, bye I have to leave for my presentation.

 Ok then, I’ll love to watch you in that professional mode; said Zayan.

Hehe, ok come will go together then…”

And after she finishes her presentation, she came and sat near Zayan on last bench alone. The whole time while she was talking to Zayan, the whole class fellows and teacher was staring at her in awkward and strange look. She ignored it all and still continued her gossiping with Zayan and to tell him everything that happen in these few weeks. And people were talking about how crazy she was acting? Teacher went to the principal’s office and said all this and then the principal called her mom and also called her into the office,

“My dear are you ok?

Yea ma’am, I am totally fine” …

and then the principal asked her, if she had any problem so she can share with her or the counsellor in the staff room?

No ma’am, thanks now can I leave? I have many works to finish.

Ok dear you can go now.

As she leaves the principals room for lunch with Zayan, her mom calls name while she passes by her in the hall way quietly and smiling to her;

“where are you going honey?

Mom I’m going for lunch, I’ll meet you soon at evening.

Ok just take care ok.

Yea mom, (she lefts for the parking area.)”

“Hey Zayan get in the car, as I promised you for lunch today, let’s go!

Ok Jen (he sits in the car).”

They she took him to a beautiful restaurant for having an amazing barbequed meat made with best Indian spices, with some amazing saffron rice and caramelized onion. Yea it was mouth-watering. They had a long conversation while enjoying the amazing meal together after that, she went to the mall for inspections of everything as she can’t sit there all the time but  Mr’s Garcia is there to look after everything and handle them too, as she is trust worthy too. After the inspection, she just wanted to go home as, she gets tired, as she gets no time to rest in the whole day. After finishing her work, she drove to her favorite ice-cream parlor took 2 ice-cream tubs: one of Oreo flavor and another one was salted caramel with roasted peanuts, she ordered from the drive through and came back home, she was feeling too drowsy but she needs to give time to her mom too, as she promised her dad and also because she is getting busier day-by-day and not giving her proper time to her. So, as she reached home, she kept ice-creams tubs on the coffee table and sat in the living room with her mom while turning on the tv and watching some Korean series named 2cops. Then her mom said

“Honey can I ask you something?

Yea sure, ask anything you want to know.

Whom you were talking to after the presentation? Sitting on the last bench?

I was sitting with Zayan. And we haven’t met for too, so I was sharing everything with him.

Ok! but why don’t you bring him home, I want to meet him?

Mom, he stays busy in work.

Ok if, I tell you something will you agree and do that thing for me?

Yea my sweet mommy. (by giving her one spoon-full ice-cream from her Oreo tub)

You have you come with me to the counsellor tomorrow, as I feel you have too much work load and you are tense, and stressed at times.

Nah mom, I’m not but still I’ll come with you, if this gives you happiness.”

(then she hugs her mom and as I said she was so tired she slept on couch on her mom’s shoulder right then& there)

Softly her mom gets up, brings blanket for her and cover her up then she keeps her hand on Jen’s face and looks at her with love and by staring Jen, she sleeps right there on the floor holding Jen’s hand. Next morning when Jesah wakes up an sees her mom like this, she just looks at her as she is the only person now on earth right-now and says softly in murmuring voice:

  “You don’t always need the whole crowd to look at you,

One person can cover the feeling which a crowd of peoples give.

You can’t get every happiness in once but you can hold the one you love in your arms and feel happy all at once,

Some people are like world for you,

One person’s name is enough to bring smile on your face & also one name is enough to make you feel tense. So rather than looking for dark side look for the happiness, nothing is harder to find.

In the glass of half water always look for the filled side rather than looking at the empty part.”

Her mom smiles, I see my daughter is now fully grown up and also becoming a good poet. Hehe nothing is so mom, now you take rest let me get you a cup of coffee.   Ok honey, and Jesah gets fresh and makes 2 cups of coffee, one for her mom and one for herself.

Here you go mom, black coffee with only 1 tea spoon honey, no sugar, no milk.          

 Oh, so you remember, I thought you would have forgotten.                          

Nah I didn’t.                                                                

 Mom now you also go and get ready, I’ll also take a shower. Today I won’t go to college, because, we have to go to counsellor as you said then from, they’re I’ll book a cab for you because, I have to go to mall ok?                                                 

 Yea sure my business baby. (They both got ready then, Jesah drove car to the counsellor office who was also a nice friend of her mom. As they reached, she dropped her mom at the front gate then went to park the car. She came in side knocking the door) May I come in? Yeah sure. she goes inside sits down on the couch.

“Hey I am Mr. Ahyan Miller.

 Hey Mr. miller, I’m Jesah Johnson.

That’s a nice name.

thankyou sir.

How old are you?

I’m 19, I will be turning 20 soon.

Oh, that’s really great, you’re so young and you handle so much, as your mom just told me.

That’s nothing sir. (phone rings) please can I take this call it may be something urgent? (she said)

Yea, sure go ahead.”

She goes out to take the call while that time Mr. Miller and Mr’s Johnsen’s starts talking suddenly Jesah comes and says sorry guys, I have to leave it’s urgent. It was really nice meeting you Mr. Miller will meet you soon I promise!                            

 And mom if you want to go home just call me, I’ll book a cab for you ok?

Sure, honey don’t worry you go and just take care of yourself.”

 

  Act-9

She rushes to the mall and checks all the wire and light settings now everything was back on line. As there were some wiring issues. After that she goes to her dad’s office which is hers now, it was just the same-way as her dad left. The photo frame on Mr. Johnsen’s table just brought tears in her eye, as it had the picture, when he held Jesah in his arms for the first time. Then sudden knock sound occurred, yea come in. Jesah it me Mr’s. Garcia. Yea aunty come nah, why are you looking so pained?                                       

Noting my dear just the doctor called me and asked me to come fast.                   

Ok so you should go, I’ll say the company driver to drop you there.                   

Thanks a lot Jen.                                                             

Pleasure all mine, just please can you call me, as you reach there and tell whatever the situation is of Ferheen ok? Yea sure I’ll now can I go?                    Yea sure you just go get your bag; I am calling the driver he will be waiting for you at the gate no 3.                                                      Thanks a lot Jen this means a lot to me.                                          

She calls and order the driver to pick Mr’s. Garcia from the gate no.3 and drop her to the Ever-Shine hospital and take her carefully.

Ok ma’am, I am waiting for Mr’s Garcia.

Then after finishing all her works, she drove herself to home, as she entered, she removed her shoes. (Mom I came back home, are you there?)

“Her mom also comes out from kitchen saying: honey I made you some amazing peri-peri cheese honey pasta go get fresh will have together.                     Oh, we are having some amazing inventions tonight!

 Hehe yea.”

 As she moves a step forward, her cell-phone rings;

Hello, yea Mr’s. Garcia, how is Ferheen now?

(Her voice starts breaking) She is in very critical condition. If you can come, so please come dear. I don’t know what happened to her …

Ok, ok you don’t worry I’ll be right there, just be calm ok!

“Sorry mom, I have to go, Ferheen is in serious condition.

Ok honey, just wait I’ll also come with you.

Ok mom, I’ll just bring the car in front of the door.

Ok honey.”

She drives the car from garage area to the door and her mom arrives, Sofia (her mom) gets in and says yea honey lets go. Jesah drives fast and safe as she could and reaches to the hospital. She drops her mom on the door and goes down for the parking. After she parks the car, she went for the lift but it seems to be too busy so, she takes stairs instead and runs to her best-friend.

She starts breathing heavily as she reaches the floor and enters the room and sees Ferheen in really frail and feeble condition. She holds her in her arms and starts screaming to the doctors, the nurses and the other stuffs there, I said you’ll last time only to take extra care of her. I’ll pay you’ll double amount of the bill but still you guys did this to her.

Hehe my dear, Jen don’t worry about It, I think it’s my time to leave, just promise me that you’ll take care of my mom and your mom. And yea don’t forget to take care of yourself she says with smiling face, Jesah gets tears in her eyes; why are you saying so you can’t leave me like this, why you all are leaving me, am I such bad person?

No, my Jen you’re the best anyone could ever have and hugs Jesah tightly…and all of the sudden the blooming flowers went dry, the sky full of clouds became the dark and dusty as her panda’s breathe stopped, her heart stopped…

Doctor! Doctor, see what happened to her please wake her up. (tears didn’t stop, even not for a hot second)

Doctor comes and checks her pulses; they were not working and the doctor replied

“I’m sorry, we couldn’t save her”

Suddenly the world stops for Jesah she fell down on the floor right down and there. And she rushes down and goes to her car and she sits insides and cries loudly, it was so loud that the sound was reaching of the car. People passing by were staring in the car, for what is wrong and from where is the sound of crying is coming.

  

 ACT-10

After that it was 10 pm, she drives herself to sea-side, keeps her cell-phone on silent inside the car then goes and sits at the edge of the stone near the sea. Jesah starts to recollecting all the memories with her panda (Ferheen), how they planned their lives ahead together, how they spent every moment in the hospital, how they kept nick names for each other. In every single thought, her tears fell down from her eyes as a fully blooming rose- petal slowly fall’s down from the flower. Whole night passed and the tears were not ready to stop. The people passing by, saw her with glance full of sympathy, some gave her tissues too. She sat for 6 hours straight, after that the night started to get colder, so she went to the car to grab her jacket and also to check her phone, as she presses the power button, she sees its almost 4:10am in the morning and there is 35 miss calls of Mr’s. Garcia & 67 miss calls of her mom. She calls her mom back and,

 Asks…

“what happened?

Honey! where are you, I’m calling you from long back.

Yea sorry, mom I was at the sea-side and my phone was inside the car.

Ok, but now come back it is Ferheen’s burial (in a Muslim way) in sometime, we were waiting for you.

Ok mom, I’ll be there.”

(Calls disconnected)

She washes her face with the drinking bottle water, which was in her car. Then drinks some water and then drives to Ferheen’s place, where everyone was in white clothing. They gave Ghusl to her body then tied her in green cloth. As she entered, she couldn’t counter herself and busts out of tears after watching her best-friend in such a condition, she sat near her saw her face & cried a lot. Then everyone there prayed for her and her after life and also gave her Funeral prayer (صلاة -الجنازة) Namaz-e-Jhanaza. Then the men of her family like her uncle, cousins’ brothers, hold her on their shoulder in the coffin and took her to the grave. Jesah still didn’t stopped crying and she became a bit unconscious. She came out of the house and suddenly, she fainted and a guy hold her, then her mom came and hold her in her arms sprinkled some water then took her in the car and drove her home.

The next day she felt so heavy after she woke up so, she just laid on the bed for the rest of the day, her mom came to check up on her.

“Sweetheart, are you ok?

Will you go to mall today?

No mom, please can you call the manager and tell them to cover up today soon and go home early.

Ok honey, I will do that but, do you need anything? Shall I get you a coffee?

Yea mom, and I’ll go to church in few hours.

Ok honey.”

(Her mom goes down stairs and makes coffee for her and by the time she gets up and then takes a bath.) After she gets dressed up and she sat near her mom to have coffee, she asks, Mom why do-good people have to leave us soon? Why don’t god take away all the bad people from the planet… Yeah! I know, I am sounding like a small kid but in really less period of time god took 2 really special people of my life. Why only us mom?               

I totally understand but we can’t ask question him like that jen.                        

Ok mom now I should leave for the church.

Then she gets in the car wears the seat belt and driver herself to church with a bottle of red wine in her hand, after she reaches there she buys candles & goes inside and sees the church was fully empty as she imagine it too be in the evening time, she lights up the candle inside the church, in the name of her best-friend & dad and keeps them in front of god, she closes her eyes and sits on her knees as the whole church is empty, she start murmuring and crying in low tune and also starts drinking the wine, then starts asking god why did he take them from her, why did you do this to me? Why? Why you took my dad and also my best-friend away from me in so less period of time? Am I not you child? Ans me! I want to know by the time she finished almost ¾ of the bottle and she got fully drunk …

As she opens her eyes which were full of tears, she wasn’t able to see the guy next to her he was really close to her and she was in such a situation, she needed someone to hug. Without thinking second time, she closed her eyes, hugged the guy tight after that she by mistakenly kiss him softly. After that when he opens his eyes to see, he sees that the girl who kissed him is now drunk-slept in his arms just like a small baby sleeps in their mom’s lap in peace without any worries.by the time Jesah’s phone rings: honey where are you? are you ok? It has been a while you left…     

 Hey, Mr’s Johnsen, we met in Ferheen’s funeral when she fainted. Yea my dear, how are you? Is Jesah with you? Yea, she got too much drunk and slept inside the church only, so can you just guide me the direction so, I can bring her home. Sure, my child. (she guides him to the direction of their house) He drives Jesah home on the way even thou she was sleeping and drunk, she was still questioning god. Why this, why did you do this to me. Then finally he reaches her home rings the bell then holds her up in his arms and Jesah’s mom guides him way to her room then, he lays Jesah down on her bed then covers her up in blanket. Her mom keeps on thanking him to dropping her daughter home safely. She asks him for coffee, please don’t say no its cold outside too. Ok Mr’s Johnsen. Then they both have a little conversation over the coffee together and her mom tells him about why is she so anxious these days, as her dad died then now her best-friend too. Then after the long conversation, he left and also thank her for the coffee. It was just a regular coffee my child you should come home often it will be my great pleasure to serve you. Hehe sure. Bye, drive save dear.

Act-11

The next morning when she wakes-up, she sees her mom sitting beside her bed and slept last night that same way. She smiles and puts her hand on her mom’s head and says; I’m really lucky to have you mum!

“Honey, are you awake?

Are you alright?

Yeah! Mom just having a slight headache …

Did I do something last-night mom?

Nah, you just got drunk nothing else.

Ok, I’m going to get fresh, I’ll meet you down stairs sometime.

Ok, I’ll make something yummy for you, then you have to leave to meet the counsellor.

Ok mom”.

She goes to take shower and starts to recollecting her memory from what, she did last night, she remembers that, she did something to a guy and now she doesn’t know him, nor his name, or even remember his face. She gets a bit ashamed and guilty that, she did something to a stranger, she doesn’t even know and now she isn’t sure that they both will ever meet…

After the shower, she got dressed, she goes down stairs and have breakfast with her mom, after having an amazing coco-chip pancakes with maple syrup and a cup of coffee. She kisses her mom on her forehead and leaves for the office of the counsellor. She gets in her car, ties her seat-belt and drives herself to the counsellor’s office. She also had in her mind that now a days Zayan is rarely meeting her. Umm, he might be busy (I’ll meet him afterwards in college, she whispers softly to herself). Then she reaches there and goes inside everything was going well, she greets the Mr. Miller then sits they had some normal conversations then Mr. Ahyan Miller ask her about Zayan; how is he? Where did you me him?          

 She replies him gently with a low smile. Then he tries to say that, what she is having with Zayan is totally wrong. That very moment she gets peeved and starts arguing with him that now, what do you expect me to do? Can’t I have friends? My dad passed away few weeks ago and now even my best-friend and now I have only close friend left and you are telling me now! That, what I have with him is wrong. Do you even have emotions, do you even understand any human relation? Do you even have someone? Do you ever have lost someone who was close to you? (In Hostile way, she leaves the room by kicks the lamp and slams the door badly on his face.) Mr. Miller calls Sofia (Mr’s. Johnsen) and says her that, Jesah is not under his control and she have too much anger issues and he also tell Sofia about her behavior, how she acted few moments ago, and what she just did few moments ago. Sorry I can’t help you! You should see another doctor …

No, no it’s totally fine. I understand still thank you for the help. I’ll pay for all the damages, which she caused.                                               No need for that just take care of her and show her to some good doctor as soon as you can and also see to it that the doctor is someone, whom she is close to or else it will be totally hard for you and her also.                                                          

Yea sure, thankyou once again.

After that all, she goes to college and she sees Zayan at the gate and tells him to get in the car as he gets in, she tells him all the things. My dear will you listen to me carefully? (said Zayan)                                  

Yea sure say.                                                                    

Please take all the treatments properly and also listen to your doctors and your mom, you have just got cured few months ago, you have to take proper care of your self don’t think of me all the time. I’m here today, maybe I won’t the next morning... he said while getting off from the car.

So, you are also trying to get rid of me, right?

No, nothing so my dear, let me explain myself… (Zayan said but she didn’t listen and removed her car from parking and drove herself to the mall for the inspection as she didn’t even go there yesterday.) She checked-up on everything, then signed all the documents after reading them, which Mr’s. Garcia kept on her desk. Then there was knock at the door and Mr’s. Garcia showed up: how are you my dear today? Yeah, I’m good; what about you are you feeling alright? You should have taken more gapes and stayed home and rest nah. No, Jen I feel good, when I see you, as you are my second daughter, thou and I feel proud to have you and I can say that too that Ferheen would see you from heaven and she would be proud of you the way you do and handle everything. Hehe, oh so you think that. Yea! I do baby, so keep going ok. Yea ok she says with a smile.

“Are you seeing Dr. Adu lately?

Nope but thinking to go to see her in sometime, after I get free from this paper works.

Yeah, you should.

Yup, and yea please if you need anything just call me, I’ll get that for you as I’m your second daughter so, you can’t deny to me.

Hehe, yeah sure, now you finish your work. I’m going to the camera room to see is everything alright.

Yeah, sure just take care aunt.”

After she finishes her paper work, she saw 3 missed calls from her mom on her phone popped up, so she calls her back: Hey mom, how are you?

I’m good, but are you?

Ok, so you got to know about that mess, I’m really sorry but that time he became too rude so I couldn’t stop myself.

Its ok honey, just take-care next time and how is Mr’s Garcia?

Yeah, mom she is alright.

Ok honey.

Mom I’ll be little late tonight, as I’m going to see Dr Adu in sometime.

Yeah, sure no problem just drive-safe and call me once you get free.

Ok mom, bye!”

She drives herself to the hospital and goes up and meets Adu, she really becomes really happy to see her there.

“Oh my gosh look who came here to meet me, 3B girl.

3B? Jesah asks.

 A busy-beautiful-business girl.

Oh okay. (says while giggling)

Let’s go and sit in my cabin.

Yeah sure.

While they were sitting inside Dr. Adu’s cabin a tall guy with olive green knit sweatshirt with black faded jeans and red shoes with black hair with a site of brown reflection. His eyes were just like an amazing spark of brown just like an amazing romantic sunset full a shining sun. Jesah just drown herself in his eyes just like a dolphin swim slowly at the time of purple sunset. For 2 sec she didn’t even listen anything,

“Hey, hey? Jesah?

 Yeah Dr. … (she replied)

Are you ok? (she woke up from her day dream.)

Yea doctor I’m totally fine, she said with a pleasing smile.

 Meet him he is now your new doctor, for your procedures ahead.

Ok Dr. Adu.

  Act-12

“Hey, my name is Sahlaq Khan, you can call me Dr. SHL or Dr. khan

And you might be the person of hundred versions.

 What?

Nothing! Nothing! Your name?

My name is Jesah Johnsen you can call me Jen”.

I think, I have met you before! (said Jesah)

Oh, so you don’t remember?

Nope…

Never mind will see that later on, let’s go in my cabin and now decide the schedule for your meditation and your medicines.”

Then they both went together to his cabin for have some small talk.

If you are ok, we should become friends first it will be easy for us to carry the meditation forward.

Yea sure “she replied”

So, they start with the normal conversations like:

“What’s your age?

What do you do?

Where do you stay?

Who, who is there in your family?

She replied him with all the honest answers, then she asks him about himself too.

Then the main question pops up!

Do you have any close friends?

Yea I had one best-friend but she died lately.

Ferheen right?

How come you know her?

I saw you at her funeral.

Oh ok!

So, any close friend beside her?

Yeah Zayan, but I don’t know why. When I am with him people really act strange, I don’t know why. All thou he is such a great person, that words can’t explain.

Ok, ok no problem it happens at times, will talk about it in tomorrow’s session.

So, tomorrow 9 am will be ok for you, for your first session?

 Will do in the Kirei Shinzō (奇麗 思い) is an amazing Sakura (cherry blossom) garden, I have heard it is a really beautiful garden.

Yea it is! Ok so will be waiting for you tomorrow at 9am (Jen said).

Sure, so I’ll pick you from your place, is that sound alright?

Yea, sure Dr. Khan. (she replied with a smile).”

After that she goes back home happily and as she enters her mom was waiting for her and she was glad to see her happy even after having such a rough day.

How are you honey? How was your day and meeting with your new doctor?

Just a second, how do you know about my new doctor mom?

Yes, I have even met him before and even you have. Do you remember when you fainted after crying so badly in Ferheen’s funeral?

Yea I do, but how is Dr. SHL is connected with that matter?

Honey when you fainted, he was the only guy, who caught you up and brought you back home safe with me. And yea even after that when you were drunk that day, inside the church and slept, he only picked up my call and he brought you home safe that night too. he is really an amazing hearted person and finest doctor too.

Oh, okay so he is that person. What do you mean by that person jen? Asks her mom.    

Mom that day after I passed out after drinking so much, I think, did something to this guy, I don’t exactly remember but maybe I told him something stupid or hugged him or something that now is making me feel guilty. How am I now supposed to face him?

Hehe, that you must have thought before honey. Now you should go and sleep.                

Yea mom, he will come to pick me up by 9 am. So please wake me up by 8, so I can get ready on time.

Oh, so is it a date? (mom asked)

No mom, it’s just our first session of my treatment.

Okay, so you should sleep now honey, it’s almost 12am now or else how will you be able wake up early?

Yea mom going, good night.

Good night honey.

(the next morning her mom knocks at her door)

Wake up honey, it’s almost 8:30 I have been waking you up from the last 30 minutes.

Oh my gosh, mom I’ll be late.

No, don’t worry go get fresh and take a shower and take care ok? It’s better to be late then to get hurt.

Yeah mom.

Ok, get ready and come down stairs I’m making your favorite waffle with Belgian chocolate and maple syrup.

Ok mom coming.

Then she takes shower, gets ready and goes down and sees Dr. SHL is already sitting down stairs on the dining table and waiting for her.

                

 Act-13

Hey! (Jen said in shocking voice)

Hey, your mom told me that you are getting ready and also invited me to have your favorite breakfast, I should tell you that, you really have great taste even, I love this combo too!

Yeah, it is a great combo, that’s why I love them so much.

Yeah, lets enjoy it then go to our first meditation process ok?

Yeah, that will be amazing.

They both had butterflies in their tummy as they both started having feelings for each other, no doubt Jen was equally attracted looking same as Dr SHL, they just kept on giving smile to each other on the table while her mom was noticing her and also happy in the moment as her daughter was happy or will be going to be happy in a long term may be. Jen was quite curies to know what happened with her the both the times she met him before, and SHL was happy as he had an amazing moment of his life in that two meetings.

They finished they’re breakfast then Dr SHL thanked Mr’s Johnsen for such amazing breakfast, really you have magic in your hands I had something good after so long. OH, then you should come and join us whenever you are free, I will be happy to welcome you all the time.

Thank-you, really thanks a lot Mr’s Johnsen.

Yeah, mom thanks for the amazing breakfast, I will meet you in the evening and call me if you need anything ok?

Yea sure honey I will, you just take care of yourself, feel free and enjoy your day.

Yea mom you take care too.

Beep, beep (Dr. SHL blew up the horn of his car)

Yea coming. (said Jesah)

I think you are too close to your mom…

Yeah, I am (she said while sitting inside the car), after my dad’s death I became her best-friend, her adviser or whatever she needed me to become I was always there and I will always.

In Sha Allah (إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰ).

What that means? (asked Jen to Dr.)

It means if Allah wills (God wills), he will surely provide you with what you ask for.

Oh okay, it’s such a sweet word like small word with such an amazing phrase.

Don’t worry you will hear many words like this ahead.

They didn’t realize when they reached the Kirei Shinzō (奇麗 思い) in all they’re long talks. They got down and went inside it was the same time of the year when Jesah went with Zayan and told him those words, so she got a little upset so Dr asked what happened? Is something wrong we can go somewhere else it’s totally ok. No, it’s just some memory just get stick to us and don’t leave our back several times. Yeah, it does happen but, is there anything such so you can share with me, as we are friends too. Ok so, basically last year I proposed a guy right over here but he rejected in such a way that, he thought me the new meaning of the life. Oh, I see that sounds good and a little sad at the same time, yea it was but it was for my good may be. Yeah, that can be a point. Then slowly, slowly Jesah started opening up with Dr. as they started growing feelings for each other but inside something deep down inside was hurting that was not seeing Zayan now for a long time now, yeah, she had Dr. Khan now but Zayan was the only person who thought her how to be happy and how to face the world. They both were lying under the Sakura tree she was in a white dress he was in his black sweatshirt with brown pants, the moment was perfect just as they both were. They both just lay there for next 1 hour without sharing a word with each other just by looking at each other, but as slowly and gently the petals of the Sakura flower were falling on Jesah’s face, she was smiling with joy and SHL was happy to see her smiling even after she have faced so many bad days and problems, she was really a strong woman now!

 

“As slowly as the petals are touching your skin 

I can feel it by inch and inch, just by looking at your smile.

That how small things can matter you the most and,

Even a biggest thing in your life you got can make you feel lost.”

                                      

After an hour he got up from there then, he gave his had to her to get up,             

Thank you she said with a pleasant smile.                                                   

Now, let me take you to my favorite place. But I am already late I have to go to mall for inspection, I have already bunked my class of today. Its ok to take a break. Please don’t spoil the moment now please (he said with his cute puppy dog eyes) oh my god how can I say no to this face, ok stop I will come but tomorrow you have to spend a day with me the way I say. Ok, Aye-Aye Captain now come on. Then they both went to the seaside and sat there. You know whenever I am tense, I come here to relax, to listen the seashore. Oh, that’s so calm maybe it can be my new favorite too. Yeah, maybe it can happen. By the way you didn’t tell me about your family.

Ok so you want to know?

Yes of course, I want to you are my doctor but, you are my friend as well.

Ok, so I don’t have any one just a small brother whom I have adopted he is really sweet and cute if you like kids I will surely make you meet him.

Yeah, sure why not I would love too.

Okay now it is getting cold we should go back home. Yeah, but I am loving this (he said with a soft freezing voice). Hehe you will but if you will get sick, have cold and cold I wouldn’t love that to happen. Oh, so you are being caring now…. Why can’t I be? No, no you surely can. Then he holds her hand and took her to the car make her sit properly inside and closed the door for her then went and sat in the car and drove, while driving, talking and suddenly when he turned to see her, she already slept with a cute smile on her face. He reached and then tried to pick her up (wakeup jen he said softly). But instead of waking she hold his hand and slept more comfortably, he just sat back and saw her the way she was sleeping so calmly like a small baby. Then he holds her up in his arms and rang the bell her mom opened the door. Oh, is she alright? did she fainted? No, no Mr’s Johnsen she slept, I tried to woke her but she didn’t so I hold her up in arms. Ok, ok can you please take her to her room its up-stairs. Yeah, sure why not, as he tucks her in her bed, she holds his hand very tightly (dad please don’t go) she said in murmuring sleepy voice so he sat back there on the floor near her bed holding her hand. And he didn’t realize he was sleepy too so, he slept too just after 5 minutes of sitting. The next morning her mom came and saw them both she smiled watching both of them holding hands and sleeping and said honey wake up it’s 10 am now!

 Act-14

Good morning, Mr’s Johnsen I didn’t realize when I slept. It is alright you must be tired. Yeah, I was but we enjoyed, Mr’s Johnsen I want to talk to you about that file. Will talk about that later on if you don’t mind? Yeah, sure no problem. Which file (Jesah said with her sleeping voice).

Noting it was just about your meditation. (her mom interrupted with and irregular tone.)

“Okay, by the way you didn’t went home Dr.?                        

You didn’t leave my hand so, how can I?                                           

me your hand?

Yeah, honey you were! (said her mom)

She felt a bit shame that her mom saw that all.                                      

Ok you both get fresh; I am waiting for you’ll at the breakfast table.

Mr’s Johnsen, I have to reach hospital, I am already late!

 Nope you can’t go like this have something then only you can.

Alright!

Did I really hold your hand all night? (she asked after her mom leave the room)

Yeah, you did why would me and your mom lie to you about it.

Oh my god, ok can I ask you one thing?

Yeah ask.

Did I do something to be ashamed of that night, when I was drunk at the church?

Nope you just kissed me!

I kissed you? (she asked with a shock and red tomato face.)

Why am I that bad looking that you can’t kiss me?

No nothing like that you are really hot (she said in sudden way); but I kissed you when, I didn’t even know you.

Yes, and I can say you miss your dad a lot, you were imaging me as him and asking me to stay.

I am really sorry for that! (she said with low tone)

He hugged her and said no, you shouldn’t be sorry for that ok, you can ask me or say me anything you want. She smiled and said yeah sure.

Then they both got fresh and went to the table and sat, as Dr. was already late so, he just had his coffee and ask for the permission to Mr’s Johnsen as he was late and now, he have to go at his place too and get fresh then run to the hospital.

No, it’s totally fine just drive-safe (Mr’s Johnsen replied).

I will meet you at 2 or 3pm after my class at hospital.”

Yeah, sure will be waiting for you he said with a smile.

Then after he went, Jesah went for the shower then kissed her mom’s forehead then rush for her class, she was damn excited to meet Dr SHL. she finished her work in the college and then she got in her car and drove herself to the hospital, as she reached, she went to Dr SHL’s cabin. As she went, they did hey hello, then a nurse came and told him something slowly. He said her to wait just 5minute cause it’s an urgent work, I will be right back you make yourself comfortable here. She sat on his chair happily and she didn’t had idea that a file can change her whole life. Then she saw file with her name and with Zayan’ name. She became very queries as in the morning her mom was talking about it, so she opens the file and she saw her name her age everything was normal until, she turned the page and saw something, which was to shocking. Zayan was the guy who died on the same day, she had the lungs transplant, and he is the only guy who’s lungs where transplanted inside of her. She became heart-broken and her eyes filled up with tears then she turned the page then she saw it was written that she had and disease known as Schizophrenia; which is when a person imagine things and think it is in real life. It really broke her heart by realizing that Zayan was just an illusion all the time, and he was the son of that psychologist Ahyan Miller that’s why, he was helping her but at a point he busted out in his emotions by listing about his dead son from her mouth and now, she realized why people use to stare at her whenever, she used to talk to him because, he was never there all the time she thought he is. It was just her thinking and people found her crazy, she burst into tears and she couldn’t control herself she tore the files, she threw everything, which was on the table and she ran straight to the terrace and sat on the roof with the bag of her memories, which were sweet just a moment before and now it is hurting her just the way a broken glass can hurt a person walking bare foot. Dr Khan went back in his cabin after his work and saw that mess she did and he immediately got it that, she has read the files and now she knows everything, he searched for her in the whole hospital and also asked many peoples and staff they said they saw her near the terrace, he ran to the terrace and then saw her sitting on the roof upside at the edge. Crying sniffing very badly like a small kid cries, when he slips off her mother’s hand and they get lost in the crowd of people. He went up and sat near her. Why are you even here you hided these things all the time from me, even thou you knew everything and I said you that he was my only friend! I was going to but, I needed some time and I can’t hurt you Jen I really love you that’s why, I was really a little scare that how would you react to this because, I know how you reacted to that psychologist after he tried to tell you this thing. No, you are same as the other people. (They both stood up and Jesah was full in anger and sadness she never stopped crying) Jen but…

He tried to hold her and hug her but she pushed him a little far but instead his leg slipped and he fell down on the terrace floor and it was all blood, blood.

 Act-15

She ran down from the roof to the terrace floor, her ankle twisted and became red still, she got up and ran to him, SHL are you ok? (whole floor was covered with the blood and even his eyes were closed) she really became scared, she asked for help. She kept his head on her lap, her whole dress became red with his blood.

Help! Help! Someone please Help!

Then she called Dr. Adu and just said her to come up at the terrace with the nurses.

And Dr. Adu and a nurse came they became shocked, Dr. Adu asked nurses to take him fast in the emergency room and get ready with it as fast as you can. As Dr. Adu holds Jesah as she was shivering and crying as she was too scared, Dr. took her in her cabin and gave her water then called her mom. Jesah keep on asking to let her meet SHL, Dr. Adu said he is not in a stable condition and even he is going under a surgery so you have to wait as, he finishes his surgery you can see him but exactly what happened?

So, she said Dr. Adu about the whole incident that took place, how she got to know about that Zayan is her donor and then she became angry then she cried and went on the roof to sit and Dr. SHL came behind her and then they had an argument and he tried to hold her and instead his leg slipped and he felt down its all my fault, I shouldn’t have argue with him on the edge of the roof top. Ok my dear calm down you don’t need to worry it’s not your fault and your mom will also be here in a moment so just chill. After 30 minutes her mom arrives and she ran to her hugs her mother and tells her it was all my fault mom, I am so sorry! So, Dr. Adu explains her everything and by the time her mom gives her new dress to change as her dress was fully covered in his blood. As she comes after changing her dress her mom holds her tight and says honey it was not at all you fault and then after waiting for whole 3 hours Dr. Adu said now honey you can go and meet SHL as he is in a bit stable condition so, you can go and meet him but don’t force him to talk as he have went under surgery just now. It’s better, if you just see him from a little far. So, she goes near the door and just have a glance on SHL from a little far distance. Then she drives to the grave-yard where, Zayan’s body was buried, she sees the name stone and starts crying and couldn’t control herself so, she comes back to the hospital. She goes and stand outside of SHL room she didn’t have the strength to face him after, what happened few moments ago. After staring at him for an hour, she stayed in the hospital overnight and send her mom back home as she can fall sick. She went inside his room at the night when he was sleeping, she holds his hand and apologize and tries to leave softly but instead he holds her hand back tightly and ask her to stay she says I am still angry from you so, don’t try this. Ok but can you stay at least for 5 minutes? (he asked her in low tone) Ok just 5 minutes, (she hold his hand and sat back and by the time she would realize that it’s too late she woke up in the morning holding his hand next to him by the time, he was looking at her and that moment was so pleasing as the slight sunshine was coming from the window from between the curtains). Ok now I am leaving! (She said in hush tone) why can’t you just stay instead of saying to leave me all the time?                             

And while they were arguing a small boy of 5 or maybe 6 years old came in, he was really too cute with his cute little messy hair and pink rabbit drawn dungaree with white t-shirt inside it, he had blue eyes and cute little charming smile!

Bhai why can’t you take care of yourself you always tell me and now you are laying here, he said with cute angry face (with a small uhm!) Jesah and SHL both laughed. Jesah asked SHL, who is he?     

 He is the only one about whom, I said you that night.                                

Oh, so you are that mystery box, what is your name?                                 

My name is Lee Doo-Chan but bhai calls me meow, and are you the beautiful girl my brother loves?                                                        Loves?                                                                      

Yes! Can you come out? I want to talk to you.

Ok Lee Doo-Chan.

My brother really loves you and if he has done any mistake, I am sorry from his side but, I want to see him happy just the way he keeps me! And I know he is happy whenever he sees you or be with you and I promise you to always be at your side in every argument ahead. But please don’t leave him. I don’t have parents and he have always taken care of me as my father and mother both. Now it’s his turn to have happiness so, please don’t do this. She gets tears in her eyes by listening these kinds words from a small kid’s mouth so she says ok I promise to stay with him. Then Lee Yoo-Chan holds her hand and takes her inside the room so, she sits near him and asks but I don’t understand if Zayan was illusion how come I still I have that Red gloves which, he brought for me! Can I tell you something? Yea sure say. I was on my medical study visit and I saw you for the first time and I got you that but you were in that illusion period, so you don’t remember but you were standing out of the store and cherishing for that gloves so I got them for you as from the first time so that’s why you didn’t recognize me, because all these times you were imagining Zayan, when I saw you in baby yellow color dress with small white flowers on it and blue denim jacket with a messy bun, retro sneakers-I fell in love with you, when you fainted in my arms that day- I fell in love with you, when you kissed me in the church- I felt in love with you again. Every single time I saw you I loved you a little more! After that moment she kissed his forehead and took care of him the whole time in the hospital and after the discharge and total recovery. Meow, SHL, Jesah, her mom went to the Disney Land as she always wanted to and Dr. Sahlaq Khan get on his knees and proposes Jesah Johnsen with a beautiful diamond ring to be her life partner forever! It was a perfect moment any girl could ever ask for, the sun was setting down, the clouds turned purple, the yellow lights turned on of the park.

        Someone truly likes you…

Somethings are late, somethings you try to let it fade,

Longer since I called you mine,

The clock stops ticking and stuck at the same time.

He is a love I always wish to reminisce,

His body feels like home and my premises.

I spent my nights writing poems for you, 

Rather than spending night out and falling for another sight of view!
