MARYAM'S POV
Thursday THE 19th June.
"Bleep" I heard my phone vibrate on the overhead board of my bed.
"Hey" I read the pop up message and it was from Layla.
"Good morning" I replied her message as I dropped my phone back to the table.
"Knock knock" I heard a knock on my door and it was Jane's voice behind the door.
Oh they are back?
"Hi" Jane said as she walked into my room, i did not even give her the permission to enter.
"Hey babe" mom said as she walked in behind Jane.
"Good morning mom" I greeted her.
"Morning dear" my mom said as she began to walk down to my bed region.
"Layla how have you been?" Jane said interrupting my mom.
"I have been good mom" I replied.
"Dana told me you've been healing progressively, I am really proud of you" my mom said as she sat down close to me.
"Yes I have, I took some steps yesterday" I said as she gently stroked my hair.
"Oh wow, I want to see. Where is Dana? When is your session?" Mom said as she looked around the room, she was staring back and forth to the extent I thought she saw Dana's ghost or something.
"Well she just comes in whenever and we do it then" I replied.
"Sure, please let me know when she is here" my mom said as she gently stoped stroking my hair as she held herself to get up.
"Okay ma"
"Well also I would love you to accompany me to the mall later during the day, would you like to?" My mom said as she got up from my bed as she began to walk out of my room.
"Yes" I replied.
"Good then, I would see you when Dana gets here" mom said as she walked out of the room, I was left alone with Jane.
"Bleep" I heard my phone vibrating and I decided to check it and see what's going on.
"Incoming call from Layla" it wrote at the screen.
What could she possibly want? Besides wasn't she the one that was acting as if she did not like me, so why the change of heart?
"Hello" I said as I swiped up on my phone, picking the call.
"Good morning Maryam" she responded to me.
"Good morning layla, how are you doing?" I asked.
"I am fine, I was wondering if you could stop by the orphanage today, I have something I want to tell you" she said as she hanged up the phone.
"Okay" I didn't even get the word in.
What does she want to talk about? Is everything okay?
"I am done ma" Jane said as she walked out of my closet with a handful of clothes.
"Done? With" I was confused, what was she done with?
"Oh your mom had left, she instructed me to get your old clothes that you can't fit in so we would give it to charity" she said as she began to walk out of my room.
Charity? Does it mean we would be going to the orphanage?
"Oh sorry" I heard Dana say as she bumped into Jane who had a heep of cloth on her hand.
"Good morning ma, sorry I am late" Dana said as she walked into my room.
"Good morning" I replied.
"Let me go get your water ready and get your mom so we can get started" she said as she walked into my bathroom to go get the water.
"I don't think my mom needs to be here for the massage, she just wants to see me walk" I replied.
"You don't want her to?" She asked as she came back with the bowl of water from the bathroom.
"I do, I just think it's better if she is not here for that" I tried to persuade Dana, I don't want my mom to be here she would ruin the fun for me.
"Okay then" she said as she began to massage my legs.
"Beep" a pop of notification entered my phone.
"Hi" (10:00 am) after the call, the message was sent by Layla.
"So when am I expecting you?" (10:01 am) The message was sent again by Layla.
"Are you there?" (10:02 am)
"Hi, I know you can see this, respond to it" (10:05 am the current time)
"I don't know let me ask my mom" sent from Maryam's phone by (10:05 am).
"Okay" she responded to my message immediately.
I wonder what is going on with her, I really do, why is she so desperate for me to come and see her.
"I would go get your mom" Dana said as she got up to go get my mom, she was done with the massage, it was time for the hard part 'the walking'.
Sigh* I'm tired, is this how painful it is for a normal human to walk or it's just hard for me who is learning how to.
"I am here to get the rest of the clothes" Sarah said as she walked into my room.
Lol, my room is so busy today, lord give me a break.
"We are back" mom said in a high pitch as she walked in with Dana, she looked excited about it.
"Welcome back mom" I said to her.
"Okay, let me help you get on" Dana said as she brought my wheelchair to my bed.
"You know the usual, but just like yesterday you would try taking walking. Today you would be walking 10 steps" Dana said as she smiled, it always feels like she is happy to see me in pain.
"I know you can do it darling" my mom said cheerfully.
"Okay, now get a grip of your walker" Dana said as she wheeled me to the spot where it was.
"I want you to try and get up all by yourself, but don't be scared I would be here for support incase you can not do it" Dana said as she left the walker on my grip.
"Help" I mumbled under my breath as my hands began to shake drastically, I was unable to help myself up.
"Okay" Dana responded swiftly as she helped my up on my feet.
"Awwn you can do it dear" my mom was still at the back cheering me on.
"Put on foot in front of the other, the way you did yesterday" Dana said as I struggled to control the walker this time around.
"1"
"2"
"3"
"4, see I knew you can do it" Dana said as she continued to count the steps I was making.
"5"
"6"
"7"
"That's my baby girl"
"8, 9..."
"What's going on" I heard mom scream, why is my room upside down? No I just fell.
