The doctors had already lost hope and given their final word regarding Mrs. Yousuf. However, under the immense pressure from family and relatives, and at the insistence of her eldest son, Hassan, she was admitted to a high-end hospital. Despite the pressure the relatives put on him, not a single one of them contributed a single penny toward the expenses.
All these costs were only covered after taking out a massive loan. The debt had grown so large—reaching $15,000—that Hassan didn't have the heart to tell anyone. In Pakistani currency, this amounts to approximately 4.2 to 4.5 million (42 to 45 lakh) rupees. I am mentioning this specific figure again because I referenced the $15,000 in previous chapters, and I want everyone to understand the gravity of the situation.
This debt was so staggering that even if we were to sell our house in today's market, Hassan's portion would not even come close to 4.2 million rupees, as the property is divided into four equal shares.
Finally, after the last round of tests, the doctors discharged Mrs. Yousuf. Two days before leaving the hospital, she had started giving strange, unsettling signals. Her first sign to me was: "Hassan, something is circling over me... take me home." It felt as though that 'entity' could no longer enter her body and was instead hovering around her. She couldn't speak clearly anymore; she could only communicate through these haunting gestures.
When we finally brought her home today, the relatives and neighbors all came to visit. By now, everyone knew the nature of her condition. Some people even had the audacity to say, "You shouldn't have taken her to the hospital. She looked better before she went; now she looks completely consumed by the illness."
Because the burden of the debt had become unbearable and I couldn't bring myself to ask that kind-hearted man for any more money, my wife sold the gold she had received for our wedding. It was a sacrifice made out of sheer desperation
