Chapter 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.
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
