At the hospital, I met a sleeping mom. Her right eye- the one with the problem was bound with plasters and one other object I didn't know its name. The kind nurse whose house I had my baths and ate, for the past twenty three days let me in. Her name's Nora.
"Hey Aria" she called as soon as I sat by my mom's bedside.
"Did you run away from school?" She asked holding my hands. She looked really concerned for me.
"I was missing my mom"
"You have to go back honey, your teachers would be worried, why would you do that?"
"I just told you, I wanted to see my mom" I repeated
"She's asleep as you can see. Don't worry honey, your mom will be fine"
"Please don't send me back. I don't want to go back to school" i pleaded with her. "Just for today please. I'll go tomorrow"
"It's okay honey. I'll call your teacher. Don't do that next time, okay?" I nodded, and so she took mom's phone and dialled the number I pointed to.
