“And never will you find in other than Him a refuge.” (QURAN 18:27)

I continued to stare blankly at the ceiling of this unfamiliar hospital. A cannula passed into my right hand was hooked up to an IV line. I had no regard of the time or days since that day. It seemed like last night but I knew it must have been a few days. I had no recollection of the events following that incident. Yet, as the memories of those days started to return to my mind, my eyes started brimming with tears. I closed my eyes and the tears slid down my cheeks, soaking the pillow.
"Captain!" His mouth forming into a smile when I called him out.
"It's a promise." His soft warm eyes as they looked into mine.
"You are no intruder." I wonder how I didn't realise the lies behind his words.
"You were playing around so I decided to play along." A sob escaped my lips and I shut my eyes closed.
