Chapter 4 - old friend , new friend

"Really, you had to fall while taking you to the bath." Yacoub held his laugh, trying not to show any sarcastic moment, but it was too much, so he finally burst out laughing at Raed's luck.

« Don't remind me man, whenever I remember that, I want to dig a hole and bury myself in it » Raed replied, laughing, too. The embarrassment he suffered today will haunt him for the rest of his life.

« Thank God you didn't take off your boxer anyway. »

Their words were interrupted by the nurse who asked yacoub to go out to examine Raed

He stared at her for a long time, she kind of familiar to him, to finally wake up from his absence and whisper to the person lying on the bed, 'Have a good time', concluding with a wink.

Yacoub ran away from the pillow directed at his face to listen the how nurse scold his friend the stop him for any sudden movements

Yacoub sit on the waiting bench in front of the raed's room

He feels the coldness of the wall creeping into his bones, making him feel sick

And what increases it both is the smell of detergents that makes him want to vomit

Mostly he hates going to the hospital, but sometimes he has to, like now

He endured it for a while and the nurse finally came out telling him she gave a sedative to Raed that made him sleep

Yacoub nod and thanking her , contemplate her features for a while not knowing why he knows why she looks so strangely familiar

She smiled at him asking him to sign some papers for the patient

He Complete the form to sign the last of papersand give it to the same nurse in charge of Raed

"Then Yacoub ben Hadi, you don't remember me now." She looked with a gentle smile that she had drawn on her mouth, not knowing that the gates of Hell had opened for them from this moment on.

He looked at her with a number of question marks in his head. Yes, she looks familiar. But he does not recall where he has seen her so far.

« My name is Sara, does that remind you of anything ? »

Yacoub try to deny what he's thinking, but his fucking mind keeps leading the same person

Sara's childhood friend

Sur watched his reaction with a chuckle, she too is surprised sometimes when she sees herself in the mirror

« je t'aime – I love you – « he said a password between them to quickly reply to him is « avec la crème – with ice cream –«

He hugged her tightly to move away and looked at her from top to bottom, seeing how she had transformed from a manly girl into a beautiful and elegant woman.

« You've changed » yacoub whispered, he can't believe it now

"Yes, I became more feminine, right." She said unless he dared to say it, and Jacob agreed with her strongly on her words

« I've always imagined you as a soccer player or a boxer, you know, with your usual short haircut, I never imagined becoming a nurse, without insult. »

He stated what was going on in his mind to make him laugh. His fantasies are completely compatible with her personality in the past.. but as they said, time puts its mark on everyone , and she is no exception.

The nurse in charge interrupted their words make sara return to her work quickly and tell him that they will continue their conversations after the end of her work

Walking around the hospital trying to find the way out

He denies it himself, but he's already lost

He saw children, old people, people mourning the people they lost

« yacoub, stay with me, please. » In a terrified tone, a miniature version of his father yelled as he caught up with the cart with his child on it.

The child extended his hand weakly trying to hold the teenager next to him in any way

He feels that if he can't catch him now he will lose him forever, but unfortunately his strength has betrayed him so that the boy's image disappears and he is admitted to the intensive care unit

Yacoub's body stopped freezing for a moment, not understanding exactly what he sees, it's strange to him yes and scary too

This was the first time he remembered the scene before he entered a coma

His shoulder was hit by a woman running ,yacoub fall and she curse him with continued running away

A hand reached out of the void for him to hold on to and return to get up

He looked at someone who helped him to find a handsome brown man wearing a white aprons for the doctors

Sharp features and his gray eyes screaming not to approach me, but his smile broke the cold air to show his dimple

"Have you come to visit someone ?" He tilted his head as he asked, and yacoub answered yes

« Oh, it's rare for someone to visit this ward, » he said with amazement. This ward is for alcoholics, so it's usually either abandoned people or vagrants.

"Actually my friend is in another wing, my feet somehow led me here." He lowered his eyes to the floor, avoiding looking into the doctor's eyes. He doesn't know why, but his looks make yacoub feel completely exposed and he doesn't want to confess to a stranger that he's lost in a hospital.

"Then do you want to go to the garden ?" The doctor asked him, keeping a little face for yacoub, and the latter agreed firmly

He put a can of Coca-Cola on Jacob's cheek, which made him panic

"Put it on for a while so that it doesn't swell up later." He saw Yacoub's bewildered face to continue explaining to him, "When you fell, you hit your left cheek hard."

"By the way, which suite is your friend in ?" He asked, out of a little curiosity, while looking at yacoub intently

"Fifth ward, I think," he said with some doubt, still not understanding how this hospital works. After "Room 564," he told the room directly to find that a doctor was laughing.

« Do you mean the boy who fell in the bathroom and nearly broke his spine ? » he said sarcastically, to find that yacoub's features were confused.

« Is his condition that bad ? » He asked worriedly, to quickly deny the doctor and assure him that Raed's injury was not strong and he only needs a few weeks and he will be discharged from the hospital

"How do you know about that anyway ?" yacoub asked this time, realizing that he was a doctor but knowing his friend's condition in a rather strange detail.

« Oh, sorry I didn't know myself, I'm Jasser, who seems to be the doctor in charge of your friend's condition. » He reached out to shake hands with yacoub, finding the latter with a blank face.

Moments to realize that he left the doctor's hand empty « I'm a yacoub » shook Jasser's hand quickly to smile at him

« Nice to meet you, yacoub. »
