After about thirty agonizing minutes later, the doctor came out and Zara alerted both boys who stood up so fast and approached the doctor.
"Good day Doctor, please how is she doing" Bilal implied
"Good day gentle man, I am doctor Anderson, and how are you related to the patient".
"We are all her friends" Zara replied
"There is not much I can say but, the patient is a sickle cell anemia patient, and as you all know already due to been a sickle cell anemia patient, she was already having symptoms of their general crisis and also been starved, dehydrated and the lack of sleep, with the fresh mosquito bites on her , all this might have triggered the whole Crisis stuff and now we need to give her additional blood. So we need a donor, because am sure you are all students and won't have money to buy a blood bag for her , unless you want to call her family, then please decide fast and let me know, she needs the blood urgently".
On a normal note, everyone will let the news sink into their brains ,but not today , Fahad just realized how he feels for the girl , and Zara has never asked her about her family also they have not been good friends with her, so they all knew nothing about her family, this is the where the problem will come from, Zara doesn't even know her genotype, what are they going to do now!?.
" Um, excuse me doctor Anderson"
" Yes dear, what do you need"
"I do know my genotype, and I am ready to donate the blood for her sir."
"Perfect my dear, please come along with me so we can run some tests and then proceed"
And with that they both left with the doctor leaving two people dumbfounded.
They both came back some minutes later while the doctor went straight to the patient room, the other one joined both siblings on the chair.

Afifa felt like she had been ran over by a car over and over again. With great difficulty she opened her eyes and was meet with white ceilings, she looked at her surroundings paying more attention to every single detail.
After some few minutes she concluded that she was in the hospital, she began to rack her brain, thinking about the reason she was here, while racking her brain, she noticed a lady dressed in scrubs smiling at her.
"Hello dear, am glad you are awake, am nurse Claudia, how are you feeling"?
"Bad" I replied while coughing. she nodded and went out and came back with a man whom I assumed was the doctor and also with a glass of water.
"Here , drink these first, and the doctor will check your vitals". the nurse said with a smile
I replied with a nod while the doctor stepped forward.
"Hello Miss, am doctor Anderson, and I have been the one taking care of you, am happy you woke up early, you gave both I and your friends quite the scare."
"my friends!!?".
"Yes dear, do you want me to call them in?"
"No doctor, thank you for everything, can you please tell me how long I slept"
"Oh, yes , you slept for two days dear, with the reason been the sedatives and lack of rest."
"Oh, okay doc".
He kept checking my vitals, and I kept looking around and that was when I saw a blood bag, hanging by my side.
"Uhm, excuse me doctor, but are my family here already"
"No miss, no one knew how to reach them, do you want to call them". I nodded and he told the nurse to come with the phone. While she was dailing the number I gave her.
I asked the doctor about the question that was on my mind.
"If my family is not here, who payed for the blood sir".
"It was one of your friends, and please don't ask me, I was told to not let you know".
I was surprised, because nobody knows my genotype aside from the school authorities.
I decided to forget about it and wait for my family to arrive.
Although I already know my uncle will be the one to come so I was rest assured, I wasn't going to call my mom, because she worries alot.
