Chapter #3: Losing the Shadow over you

Yes Mom! I am on the way.... are you alright.. why are you crying...had something happened... I am coming donot worry. I am on the way".

"What has happened is something wrong" questioned Noman anxiously.

"I donot know. Mom will never tell me. She just wants us in the hospital" said Farhan accelerating the car speed.

................

They rushed into the hospital. Farhan's mind wasn't working at all. They were searching the hall ways and running here and there. Then Noman saw Mr.s Khan holding the door knob head down and wiping her tears from her eyes with the other hand.

"Mom what has happened" Farhan said anxiously.

" Oh dear your father is in the ICU. The doctors are saying that his condition is critical" said Mr.s Khan while crying and gasping.

Before he could say anything or react.ICU door opened and doctor came out and only delivered those word which shattered them into pieces. He was orphaned. He had lost a father, a friend and a supporter who supported him when he needed the most.

................

Words only words. Only words can change your life.

Those words were one of the reason why he destroyed his life. He felt like his whole life had been torn apart. He couldn't argued nor he could change anything. It was time when he could give anything to bring back his father but nature is brutal. It's the way life is. You can't do any this you have to just wait and watch until nature hits you hard and it never gives you time to react. A time comes when you thinks that nothing is left in your life and deep down it pierces you. Letting someone go is never easy.

.

................

Farhan never had time to react. When he heard those words delivered from doctor he stared his mother for a moment. Mr.s Khan couldn't control herself. It was never easy to loose someone who vowed to spend his whole life with you. It was measure of seconds when scenario changed and in blink of eyes Mr.s Khan hit the floor with a bang like a body without life and Farhan couldn't do anything.

He just watched. Noman rushed towards Mr.s Khan. How many families had lost someone in that hospital. Hospitals are one of the life destroying places where a new life roots to this cruel and merciless world and also a place where people feels that death is also a part of life which they have forget completely.

Farhan didn't care about anyone in that moment. He ran as fast as he could to get out of that place. He ran and ran in any direction he found and finds himself in a park outside the hospital. He could not bare those words and the sadness. His eyes were filled with tears and he cried as loud as he could. Everyone just looked at him as it was normal routine for them to see someone crying in pain because every days people dies in hospital.

Farhan's heart was pounding. His mind was not able to accept that his father had died neither he wanted to. He wanted to get out of that place. He went to his car while his hands were shaking. He somehow managed to open the door and ignite his engine. He accelerated his car and was driving his car very fast. He was driving his car as fast as it goes while tears still pouring from his eyes.

He didnot cared how fast he was driving or anything around his surrounding. He Suddenly saw his father in front of him. His father was standing wearing a black long coat and was smiling. He reflexed and turn his car off road where it was pits and bump. He car danced as its wheels were hitting the stones and other hard thing off road until he hit a tree. His car was completely squeezed from the front. Widescreen shattered and smoke started to rise from the front. Farhan's head was bleeding and his eyes closed. He was like a sleeping baby.

...............

When he opened his eyes he was sitting on a bench in a park. It was a very green park. Families were enjoying and he could only see greenery as far as he was able to. Then he noticed someone sitting alongside him on the bench. He turned is head and he was his father. He was wearing that same black long coat with a black hat with hands in his coats pocket.

" Father weren't you dead" said Farhan while staring him.

"Does it matters son" said his father in a calming voice.

" Nurse from the hospital told us that you are dead" said Farhan in a breaking voice.

"Death is just beginning of a new life son" said his father.

"I am sorry father. I was never a good son but I loved you and I will love you forever".

"You were always a good son from the moment when I took you in my hands. That day was the happiest day. You were looking at me with innocence not knowing anything".

"How does it felt dad" questioned Farhan.

"It was the most beautiful day of my life. I was blessed with a boy" said his father while smiling at him.

"Is this real father or its just imagination"questioned Farhan.

"Does it matter son" answered his father.

" How am I gonna survive without you father. You were my supporting system" said Farhan in breaking voice.

" I will always be there with you and by your side" answered his father.

"How? Said Farhan while crying.

"You just have to believe while pointing his finger towards Farhan's heart.

FARHAN!! he heard the voice from above he looked up towards the sky and when he looked back again towards his father he was still in the same position. Everything started to dislodge and separating into particles slowly. He could only heard his father saying BELIVE IN YOUR SELF SON BELIEVE.JUST BELIEVE.

...............

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself on a bed in hospital. He could see needles in his wrists and bandages around his body. He glanced to his right. He saw his Mr.s Khan sitting on a chair holding his hand. Alongside her was Noman sitting looking at him.

"Son are you Oky" said Mr.s Khan.

"What happened to me" questioned Farhan.

" Your car hit a tree. You are badly injured son" said Mr.s Khan.

"Fatherrrr????? he grunted.

Mr.s Khan shoved her head down and said in a low and painful voice that he is no more. We had buried him.

"Why didn't you..." and before he could complete the sentence she answered

"You were not concious".

"How many days has passed" he questioned anxiously.

"Four days son" she answered with a sorrow.

"Someone wants to meet you bro" Noman said with a hope in his voice. "Should I let them in"

"Who? questioned Farhan.

"Friend of yours" said Noman wait till I fetch them.

"I should see the doctor" said Mr.s Khan as she left the room.

Farhan saw Kristin and Molly entering the room. He was quite happy to see them. Kristin sit on the chair as her hairs waved on the side of her face.

"How are you" she said while looking at her with a smile.

"Pretty broken I guess. My body hurts" Farhan said while his eyes closed a bit and moving his body a little.

"Doctors told that you are gonna be fine" she said.

" Did not you went to college? He questioned.

"I guess it was better to ask about your health than listing to the bore lecture of Mam Rosy" said Molly while smiling.

"I guess so" and they all laughed. For a moment Farhan felt happy to meet Kristin and he was quite dissolved into her. He could feel her presence not less than an angel sitting next to her. He loved her smiling and liked her eyes.
