"Son, listen, I was just telling Yahya that because old Jamal runs this hospital,"He explained. "He is an old coot and he says we have to turn away patients without insurance or money. Yahyal here has a heart of gold and he would help anyone. He is always bringing in someone who needs help and usually they do not have either one."
"I will get the money,"Daniyal stated, trying to act like a man. "I can get a job."
"I am sure you could,"Officer Miller chuckled. "But, it would take a long time to pay back the kind of money it is going to take for your mom"
"Mom, oh, yeah, Doc," Daniyal put the money back. "Is mom going to be okay?"
"Well, son, that is what I was about to say,"He explained. "She needs emergency surgery. They are prepping her now. She signed the consent forms....but I wanted you and the girls to go in and be with her for a few minutes before...." He was interrupted.
"W-w-what? Surgery?" He felt tears welling up in his eyes, but he fought them back. "Why? Is she going to die? Oh, Lord, no...not mom, too...please...." The doctor put his hand up. He told him that she would most likely be alright if they hurried up and did the surgery. There was internal bleeding. He explained some other problems she had, but Daniyal had drifted into a world of fear. He felt panic swelling up inside of him like a balloon. He begged the doc to not let his mother die.
They went into to see their mom, the twins not really understanding everything. They cried for their mommy when they saw her with all the needles and tubes. Daniel wanted to scream out, but he held it together for the girls and his mom. He choked back tears as he hugged his mom. He kissed her more than once on the cheeks and forehead. She tried to reassure him that she was fine, but he knew by the way the doctor was rushing him that it was not good. He wanted to latch onto her and never let go. As they rolled her away, he felt his lip tremble and he knew he could not fight the tears anymore. He walked away from his sisters and turned his back to them. He had only felt this alone one other time and that was when his dad died.
He felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He figured it was just a nurse ushering him out. He was surprised to see Officer Miller standing there. He thought he would have left by now. The officer pulled him into his arms and he wanted to pull away, but something made him stay there. That something gave him a comfort he had not felt in a very long time. He found himself putting his arms around this kind stranger and crying like he had not cried in a long time. He wanted to feel ashamed, but Officer Miller never gave him a chance. He made him feel so much better about everything.
