Fairy's Death



Life's been on a smooth track till 15th of October but a single sad incident had changed the whole scenario. The ruthless jaws of death had engulfed my fairy that was very dear to me. An orphan girl of age 6 who was struggling for her survival.

How I met her? That's the story.

Her orphanage was nearby my Medical school. She was a special child not 'coz she was a dumb or a deaf, the only thing which really pinched me that she never ever used to play with other children of her age. Until one day her care-taker told me that she's a blue baby having a hole in her heart. She was going to have a heart transplant. I was really shocked when heard this horrible fact but at the same time I got interested in her case. I really wanted to study her case as I was a Medical student and eager to become a cardiologist.

She was a Jew but I had nothing to do with her religion as I'm not a hard core Muslim. She was just an innocent child who was un-aware of this term "Religion''. Her father was a Jew but her mum was a Christian. Her father died in a road accident & after father's death, her mum got married to a Negro & as his step father wasn't ready to accept her as his daughter, she was sent to an orphanage.

She always used to ask me that why she can't run? 15th October was her operation's date. My aunt didn't allow me to be with her 'coz of her religion and she thought that I had nothing to do with her death or life as many Palestinians are dying due to Israelis. I was mentally turned and my heart was filled with anger but I was un-able to do anything. After sleepless night the dawn of 16th October was even more cruel. I went to the Dallas heart Center along-with my cousin. Doctors were just hoping to not have a tissue rejection. Next 48 hours were very crucial for her and what happened after 24 hours was even too horrible. Tissue rejection occurred and on 18th of October she lost her life.

I just lost hope in everything. I was a very jolly person but after that sad incident I forgot to smile. I lost interest in my studies. I don't wanna stay in Texas as this cruel city is gonna remind me of her. I still do remember her and her innocent questions about her disease. One day she asked me about her disease and I told her that I’m just a Student of Medicine and I don't know much; she said to me : “ You're plum”. I still do love her and I didn't forget to visit her grave.

At her funeral her mum was there with his hubby crying crocodile tears. I immensely hate her but what can I do?!

I'm helpless and I think each and every one of us has to bow before the nature and the rules Almighty has set for us. God rest her soul
