4.
They arrived at the hospital within five minutes. His mother was still unconscious and Daniyal was very concerned. He lifted his little sisters out of the back and carried them both into the emergency waiting area. The officer took his mother to one of the rooms and did not come back out for over fifteen minutes. Daniyal was about to panic when Officer Miller came through the swinging doors.
"She is in good hands," He stated. "Daniyal, don't mention about driving to anybody, okay?"
"Of course, sir," He tried to smile. "What did they say about my mom?"
"She is in bad shape," He sat down beside him and the girls. "We will wait a little while and then if they have to keep her, you kids can come to my house."
"Won't your wife get mad?" He asked, being nosy. The officer explained that he did not have a wife, but that he had a son and a daughter. His wife had died two years earlier with complications during childbirth. Daniyal felt compassion for this man. He could not understand why he felt this way for this stranger. He was usually cold to everyone except his family since his dad died., but for some unknown reason he felt a connection with this man. "I'm real sorry. My dad was killed a few years ago, too."
"I thought your dad was the one who beat up your mom,"He questioned. Daniyal explained about his step-dad. He told Daniyal he was sorry about his dad and sorry for how his step-dad had treated them. They talked for over an hour, Daniyal getting more nervous about his mom. The officer put his arm around his shoulder to reassure him. As he was about to respond, a doctor came out and walked up to Officer Miller. "Well, Doc, what's the verdict?"
"Yahya, you know I would get in trouble with Jamal if he finds out I took on another one of your charity cases," Dr. Sims was his name. Daniyal noticed his name badge. Daniyal felt anger well up inside of him. They were no charity case. He took out his wallet and glanced at the fifty dollar bill his mother had told him to keep. He took it out and offered it to the doctor. "Son, that would not even cover the walk through the door. Put that away."
"Daniyal," Officer Miller turned toward him. "He did not mean to offend you...."
"Yeah, whatever," He retorted. "Just take this money and I will get the rest somehow." Daniyal showed his bitterness. He kept holding the money out, but the doctor shook his head. He apologized for his remark. Daniyal felt bad for his attitude, but he did not show it. He did not want anyone to see his weaknesses.
