I woke up finding myself in a hospital while medicine scent filled my nostrils, i tried moving my head but i felt a sharp pain on my forehead that i touched it finding my head was wrapped in bandages. I tried moving myself in a good posture when i heard a door knob opening the door i was in and someone entered and for the look of it she was a nurse, she has a polite smile and asked, how are you feeling miss?i tried talking but my mouth was dry to talk, immediately the nurse help giving me a drinking water bottle and i drank without hesitation! When i dropped my hand with an empty bottle i realised how i needed that water, Then i remembered something! Not something but someone important! My mother! I tried moving my legs and my whole body while asking the nurse with a trembling voice. The nurse tried her best to calm me down i just kept asking the question which i needed answers from it.
Just then a male doctor came in and talked to me in a soft and calm voice, Sorry miss, we couldn't save your mother due to asthma which had erupted before the car accident that made her more vulnerable and weak to withstand the impact of the car accident hence died few minutes after reaching to the hospital. I listened but i didn't get it! Doctor what are you even saying? I wanna see my mother please! I begged tears dripping from my eyes, Please doctor i beg you! The nurse and doctor carried pity faces which started made my legs and legs trembling slightly , i didn't even know was it from the impact and injuries i faced or from the from the fear to accept what the doctor told me.
My step sister Violet and step mother Vivian along with my father whom i didn't seefor two months came into view,after entering i saw faint smile from Violet's face the same as to Vivian, i looked at them with my eyes full of sorrow and grievances!The doctor and nurse went out leaving space for family to talk. Dad! I called with a trembling voice, my father didn't even have the guts to face me, i thought to myself how could he have guts as we both knew what he did for my mother to be in a bad condition for the past two months! Am so sorry Azra i, my father's voice trailed off without even completing one single sentence.
What are you even sorry for Robert? Asked Vivian, what could you do to an already dying woman laying on the bed? Yes dad even doctors could do nothing! Added Violet. I wondered if these two intruders in our once happy and complete family had humanity at all. Father what now? Why are you even here? I asked between faint sobbs and added, my mother is dead! She is dead! What am i suppose to do without her? For crying out loud Azra stop creating a scene here! Said Vivian in angry tone, can't you see even we are helpless? putting our family name into chaos just for an already dead woman! How ridiculous!
Yeah! Am ridiculous! So what? I burst into a fiery with unshed tears that threatened to come out at any moment, You home wrecker! Why did you even appear into our Morgan family which was so damn peaceful? For a split second the room went silent as i never been in such rage! Robert do you hear that? Your daughter is being disrespectful again! Vivian said with her crocodile tears poured from her eyes. After few minutes a loud slap was landed into my cheeks which was still aching from the injuries i got during a car accident few hours ago, i felt physical pain but it didn't match how my heart ached at that moment.
Violet who stood up there calming her mother who cried as if that slap had reached to her cheeks and not me, smiled and quickly changed her face into an aggrieved one. You better use that mouth of yours to eat only if you can't utter good and respectful words! Shouted my father. I didn't raise you to be a crying baby even after reaching 20 years! Added my angry father. For a moment i wished i was dead during the accident accompanying my mother to the grave,instead of witnessing how my dad treated me without a care! My feets crumbled to the cold floor. My father turned into his feets and stormed out the hospital room i was admitted leaving behind my step sister and step mother, well Azra i told you several times never go against me but you don't seem to get my true meaning said Vivian, and you know what big sis you won't match with me in terms of my beauty or confidence so stay there and know your place just like how you're down the floor right now!added Violet, after felt like my world stood still i felt a sharp pain in my arms to realise violet had stepped into it, i cried and she merciless said, keep pushing your luck but you will never get any sympathy from dad! Then both of them got out from the room and i was left alone on the floor.
I tried dragging myself up from the floor while using the hospital bed as a way to steady myself and soon i was able to lay on the bed thinking what my life would be without my mother beside me, how would i perform my mother's burial ceremony? I shifted uncomfortable on the bed as my back was aching too. I knew another chapter was to be open and i had to stay strong for the storm coming ahead of me. I needed to change my demeanour so as to not being bullied by my step sister and step mother in which for a whole 10 years i have endured their harsh treatment and my mother taught me to be calm and polite towards them and i never tried even defend myself when i was spanked by my father for mistakes i didn't do but my step sister Violet did.
