2020-12-13 02:37:47Sarah regains her memory!
By the time Sarah woke up, Anika had left the house with his foster father. She tried to talk about the seemingly embarrassing situation as proof of getting back her memory, but Mr Barad and his wife were unwilling to give her a listening ear mainly because they were trying to ward off the thoughts of reality dawning on them at the time that they wished she stayed longer with them.
They were uncertain about what would become of the family if they lose the relationship that they have built with her when she regains her memories. Her presence had brought remarkable growth to the family, and letting her go might be letting go of the aura of blessings around them. Second, they were trying to pro

THE JOURNEY TO DELHIAfter five months, Delhi had not changed from sending good vibes. It was still bubbling with life as ever. Typical of the city, Delhi keeps its visitors captivated with interesting sights and entertaining activities throughout their stay. There is never a dull moment in Delhi, as Amira with Kamala could sight people at different points on the streets enjoying life to the fullest. The city’s unique distinction of having fun places all around did not cease to amaze them as they share their experiences. It is always full of life that it could give other great cities a run for their money.The houses were well arranged on the streets, and easier to identify despi

WELCOME TO MY WORLDGoing back to school welcomed me with the news that Mrs Ava was no longer my class teacher. The school management posted her to a higher class, which should have been the right position in the first place because of her level of academic qualifications. I had the privilege to have her as my teacher because she was standing in for my present class teacher who was yet to take up his post for official reasons, while also awaiting her retiring predecessor to clear her table as she relieves her from duties. So, the management took her to my class to close the gap left by my supposed class teacher till he was ready to take up his post. I don’t have details of why this arrangement had to

SARAH IS ALIVE!Friday was here, and all roads lead to Gechiya Hospital in Delhi. There were lots of delays and disappointments before Kamala and Sarah got to Chan’s place. At the time they arrived, Chan couldn’t hide his feelings of being upset with them for not keeping to the time. They had planned to meet at his place at 13:00, putting into consideration the distance from Koli village to Delhi before proceeding to the hospital together with Anika. But Kamala and Sarah arrived an hour behind time.At 14:15, they were already at the hospital, making enquiries about the midwife when they saw a group of people rush in with a girl on a stretcher. The manner with which they br

THE DISCOVERYAfter the exchange of greetings, Chan explained to the midwife they were in the hospital for Amara and would like to know her state. He didn’t want to disclose the primary reason for their visit.“She would be fine and should be up after the stitches. I have to go now,” the midwife replied politely. It was obvious she didn’t recognise them, especially Chan, who was her late friend’s husband. They liked it that way to avoid raising any suspicion that might ruin their plan. It is possible she might escape in an attempt to avoid being caught if she was guilty. So, everyone had to apply wisdom, and caution too, till they could get her to talk

THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE MIDWIFEIn the waiting room, Chan opened up a conversation about Nosocomephobia, which charged up the atmosphere with all kinds of emotions. Everyone had a thing or two to share with their medical phobias. Each experience came with either some cringes at some bizarre phobias or jesting at someone for the experiences that sounded ridiculous.Chan, especially, picked on Sarah after she shared how the name ‘Hospital’ made her feel sicker. “I have never visited a hospital, even when pregnant until the compulsory day of labour came. I had no other choice than to visit it for the first time just to have my baby. Here I am in the same hospital I gave birth, not feeling cranky at all. Maybe family matters have their unique way of t

THE SURPRISEThe hospital declared the private wards open for visitors, with rules stating they do not permit more than two visitors at a time. They advised the visitors not to stay longer beyond the visiting hours. Strictly adhering to these rules would provide the patient with an ample amount of required time to rest.Mrs Ava walked in first to see Amara, followed by Sarah. The rest would take turns to visit afterwards.“Hello, Amara! How are you feeling?” Mrs Ava asked. Without waiting for my response, she continued, “I sincerely apologise for our inability to help you out without any evidence against Adhira. On matters like yours, the authorities cannot swing in

It really feels good to be home with Mum; a dream that came sooner than I expected!My grandfather was as good as his words; he released the Mother deed through his lawyer for us to reclaim the ownership rights to all my late father’s properties.

THE REFLECTION‘Mind power is the most useful tool gifted by God in human’s possession. It can yield the greatest physical force one can ever imagine. With one’s mind and imaginative powers, anything can be created - obstacles or opportunities, failure or success, setback or progress, unhappiness or happiness, you name it. The thoughts that pass through your mind are responsible for almost everything that happens in your life. It all lies in your hand to choose the ones you want!’These re-echoed words from my mother had kept me going even as I stared at my Ninety-Seven-year-old mother on her death bed. I have passed this message to my children, my children to m
