Ignored Innocent Heart novel Chapter 53

After waiting for more than two hours, the doctor came out of Zamid’s operation room.

“Doctor, how is he? How is my brother?” Zayn was the first one to approach a male doctor in scrubs.

“He is out of danger now! Alhumdullillah everything went well! He will have to stay in hospital for three more days so that we can monitor him for sometime! After that we can say wheather he will need a psychologist or not! You know that it was a kidnapping case! And on top of that, the patient was shot! He is bound to be traumatized! But for now, let’s wait for him to wake up! For now, he will be shifted in a private room and he will wake up by the morning, In Sha Allah!” Doctor smiled assuringly and explained. After explaining all this in a detail, the doctor patted Zayn’s shoulder and nodded at the other males of their family that had also joined Zayn when the doctor started explaining.

“Thank you doctor Fahad! But before you go, can you tell me what the condition of the other patient is? She is also my cousin!” It was samman who asked her senior doctor. The operation theaters were separated by a glass window which enables the doctors to see in the other room.

“Doctor Samman, and Doctor Zarmeena, I can’t say anything right now because my own patient was in a very bad shape but I think they were also finishing up with the operation! You will have to wait for a bit more to ask Doctor Hamna yourself!” Doctor Fahad told both of his junior doctors and nodded at them in greeting and went away.

Soon zamid was shifted in another room and a lady doctor came out of the joint OT. She greeted them politely and told them that hana was also out of danger and she will wake up by the morning. Everyone thank the God and gave sighs of relief.

“There is only one thing that I need to inform you! The patient’s sugar level was extremely low! Does she not eat sweet things?” Doctor hamna asked no one in particular as all were crowding around her. At the doctor’s question, they were all confused as hana always opted for sweet things. Everyday, she ate enough sweet things to last her a lifetime but then why the doctor was asking that! They had no clue!

“Doctor hamna, I don’t know what to say as she craves sweets more than any of us! And she also eats a lot of sweet things on daily basis! But maybe for the past some days she was not eating them!” Zarmeena replied on behalf of everyone and then looked at Hanan and Ibrahim for futher details.

“No, there is nothing like that as she had a lot of chocolates and ice creams in all these past days! She even ate sugar at night! With all this sugar, I don’t think that should be the case!” Ibrahim explained to the doctor while thinking more about it.

“Ahh okay! Sometimes our bodies crave the things that we are lacking! Like glucose! She craves these sweet things because her body is not able to produce enough of that glucose on its own. Some kids that are born premature have these types of issues! If there is more than one baby like twins or triplets, then this also happens because one or two babies are weaker than the other ones!” she explained further the issue with her sugar level.

“She is my twin, ma’am!” Hanan provided anxiously as he wanted to know if it was a big problem or not.

“And she was very weak too at the time of her birth!” Ibrahim further added and patiently waited for the doctor to explain more.

“That explains it! Don’t worry though! Just make sure she eats sweet things! Try to give her natural things like fruits! Add fruits in her daily diet so that she can get enough sugar to maintain her balance!” she told them with a polite smile and asked Samman and Zarmeena to accompany her in her office.

Within minutes, hana was also brought out of the OT. They saw that she was wearing a hospital gown and her hair was open. Daniyal looked away to provide her with the privacy even in her vulnerable condition. Rayaan was openly looking at her face as there were so many bruises. Her left side of the face was purple at the eye area and her cheek of the same side was angry red. Her lip was busted but there was an ointment. He was looking at her face with pain but then turned away and clenched his fists after looking at her neck which was also bruised red and purple.

“Ye kiya tareeka hai! (What is this nonsense!) Why is her head not covered?” Hanan angrily asked the nurses that were pushing her bed towards the private room. He was angry as his sister who never showed her hair to anyone other than her brothers (Both, adopted and biological) and her parents, was showcased without her head cover.

“Calm down!” Ibrahim stoped him from moving towards her bed and let the nurses to push her bed. He knew that his brother was being irrational right now as the doctors were more busy in saving her life than looking out for something like head cover.

Hana was also shifted in the same room as Zamid’s on the request of Samman and Zarmeena so that it was easy for the family to meet them. Doctors had asked everyone to not to crowd the patients so everyone was outside of the room except Hiba and Asfand. After 10 to 15 minutes, a crying hiba came out of the room followed by Asfand.

“I think you all should go back! I will stay here with them!” Ibrahim said to everyone with a solemn expression. Everyone looked at him and before hiba could protest, he interjected.

“Aunty, I know you want to stay here but please, trust me! I will stay for the night and you can come back in the morning! It will not be good for your health and I know she is going to need some clothes too! You are the only one who can pack for her! Please take Hanan with you! He has to pick Nushwa from your place too! She will be very uncomfortable and will never be able to stay there without hanan!” Ibrahim tried to explain to hiba and then told them to send her and zamid’s clothes with hanan.

“Who Nashwa?” Hiba asked with confusion. She nodded at the clothes part and staying the night at the Villa but when Ibrahim said someone named Nashwa, she voiced her confusion. Everyone else was also looking at them with confusion.

“Nashwa! Hanan’s wife! Don’t you know this! I thought you guys would know as she is at your place at the moment!” He answered back with confusion of his own and then looked at hanan in questioning.

“Actually, Nashwa is my wife! I was with her at mall when all this happened! I mean kidnapping! When I and Nashwa reached back to the apartment, we saw that the door was broken and the place was thrashed. I called the police to inform about the incident. Before the police reached at our place, I received a call from the kidnappers. They were my wife’s brothers and some of their people! They told me that they will marry hana! And I heard the Qazi who was asking her to accept the nikkah! But I think she was not complying to their wish so they started to beat her! I heard it in the phone but then they cut the call. When the police got there, I told them about the phone call and they tracked the phone number! They kidnappers were pretty dumb or we were lucky because they did not think of turning their phones off! We tracked them and went with the police. Before going to the location, I had left Nashwa at our office! I knew she would be safe there due to protection from police as well as our own guards outside of the office building. Then, I got to the location and saw that there was shooting going on and the police had already entered the building. I followed the path and then heard hana’s scream. When I ran inside the basement, I saw that Bhai was incapacitating someone and punching him. Police was also there and they were trying to stop him from killing that person. It was one of Nashwa’s brothers. That’s when I saw Zamid bhai and hana on the ground with blood pouring out of them. When I shouted at the police to call for ambulance, they told me that it was on its way and it was torturous to wait for it’s arrival. When they were finally taking both of them to the hospital, bhai asked me about Nashwa and asked me to inform you guys. I picked her from our office and went to your place. On our way, I called you guys to inform you and by the time we reached your place, only Zeeniya appi and honey’s aunts were there! So I dropped her there and came here! I don’t know why but I reached the hospital right at the same time as the ambulance! And everything else you already know!” Hanan explained everything from his point of view. Now that everything was cleared, they all nodded and the main question came.

“Why your wife’s family was trying to harm hana? And aren’t you a little too young to be married?” It was Zayn who asked the question that was on everyone’s mind except Ibrahim.
