BK 2 chapter 17

I woke up groggily, I groaned tiredly, scrutinizing my eyes. The ray of light was too bright. The smell of disinfectant made my heart constrict.

I hated the smell of the hospital!.

I hated hospitals!.

They held too many unwanted memories.

But wait!.

Yusuf!.

Yusuf was alive!.

Where was he since all these years!.

My eyes sting with unshed tears. I felt turned and betrayed.

He left me.

He didn't want me.

Why couldn't he divorce me and tell me he wasn't doing it again?.

Why did he make me suffer so much?.

What have I done so wrong?.

I cried silently in my palms, my body trembling with different kinds of emotions.

I heard footsteps coming closer to me but I didn't raise my head. I wasn't ready to face the reality and truth that Yusuf was alive.

It must be a dream.

I must be hallucinating with all what was happening.

"Mom" I heard my boy's voice calling me out of my misery.

"Uhn?".
