Chapter 29

Samantha: Rose!

Samantha ran to her daughter hugging her.

Rose: Mom!

Rose hugged back and both women started crying.

Samantha: How did you ge- your eye!

Rose smiled a sad smile.

Rose: Let's go inside. We'll tell you everything.

Khalid, Rose, Samantha and Joe all went inside. Khalid and Rose started telling Samantha everything that happened since Khalid was kidnapped.

Khalid: Tomorrow I'll take Rose to a hospital to check on her eye.

Samantha: I'm sorry to hear what happened to you Joe. We'll take you back to your family soon.

Joe: Thank you, ma'am.

Samantha: Just call me Samantha.

Joe: Okay.

Khalid: Well, I guess we should go home.

Khalid said that and got up to call a driver. 

Rose: Yeah we should. I really want to rest.

Samantha: How about you leave Joe with me? I want to talk to him a bit more.

Rose: Joe is that okay with you?

Joe: Yeah.

Rose: Okay then. Good night.

Samantha and Joe: Good night.

The couple went home and each took a bath and tucked themselves in bed and slept.

The next morning Khalid woke Rose up.

Khalid: Rose. Rose honey. Wake up.

Rose: Nghhg..

Khalid: We have to go to the hospital.

Rose: Just 5 more minutes.

Khalid: No. Come on wake up.

Rose: Ugh okay okay.

Rose woke up and went to the bathroom to do her daily things. An hour she was ready and went downstairs to find Khalid sitting on the table reading a newspaper.

Rose: Good morning.

Khalid: Good morning. 

Rose sat down next to Khalid and made herself a cheese sandwich with some orange juice. Khalid had already eaten breakfast.

Rose: I don't feel like going.

Khalid: You have to. I'm worried about what he did to you.

Rose: What if it's something that can't be reversed?

Khalid: Don't say that honey. Kl shii byd allah.

Rose: Wa n3m billah.

Rose finished her breakfast and both went to the car. Khalid drove through the gateand was on the way to the hospital.

Rose: I think you need to do a body check. They beat you up badly.

Khalid: Nothing's wrong with me.

Rose: You don't know. Just do a check, please.

Khalid: -Sigh- Okay.

Rose: Thanks.

A few minutes later they arrived at the hospital.  They asked the receptionist for an appointment with an eye doctor. They were told to wait for a few minutes in the waiting room. Each went to a waiting room and waited. 15 minutes later they were called.

Nurse: Rose Alx.

Rose: Yes.

Both Rose and Khalid followed the nurse to the doctor's room.

Khalid and Rose: El-Slam 3leekm.

Dr. 3adl: Wa 3leekm elslam. Tf'9lw ejlsw.

Khalid and Rose did as they were told.

Dr. 3adl: So Rose, tell me what's wrong?

Rose: A few months ago I was kidnapped with my husband. The kidnapper did an operation on my eye but I don't what he did.

Dr. 3adl: I'm sorry to hear that. Can you tell me which day exactly he operated on?

Rose: 3 days ago.

Dr. 3adl: I see. It seems we'll have to wait a few days until I can actually open the band aid. I don't want to wound your eye.

Rose: How many days exactly?

Dr. 3adl: Maybe 4-5 days later.

Khalid: Why not check now?

Dr. 3adl: It might do damage to her eye. Though we can see what kind of stitch the kidnapper used and limit our answers.

Khalid: Will that affect her eye in anyway?

Dr. 3adl: No it won't.

Khalid turned to Rose.

Khalid: Wsh rayk?

Rose: I'll do it.

Dr. 3adl: Okay. Just sit on that chair over there and I'll be there in a moment.

Rose did as she was told.

Dr. 3adl: Shelii 7jabk.

Rose lifted her hijab. Dr. 3adl started loosening the band aid slowly so he wouldn't hurt her. A minute later the band aid was fully off. The doctor didn't touch her eye or anything. He just gave it a look and sighed.

Rose: What's wrong doctor?

Dr. 3adl: Let the nurse band aid you first.

He called for the nurse to band aid Rose's eye. A few minutes later Rose came back and sat on the chair she sat on before.

Rose: What's wrong doctor?

Dr. 3adl: For starters the possibility of face distortion is minimal. I think he just did an eye plant.

Khalid: How could you define it that way?

Dr. 3adl: There are no stitches on the outside. More likely they're inside. Either that or he didn't really do anything. But we can't take that risk.

Rose: I think it's an eye plant.

Dr. 3adl: Why say that?

Rose: I heard him say that a golden eye would look good on me. And also .. he ordered one of his men to catch a golden eyed wolf.

Dr. 3adl: If that's the case, it's likely you'll live with that eye.

Khalid: Can't we re-eye plant a normal eye?

Dr. 3adl: That's not possible. Eye plant surgery is only possible to blind or near blindness here and rarely possible to normal sighted eyes. Just doing one eye plant is dangerous nonetheless doing another one? I'm afraid her body won't take it.

Khalid: If this eye was a wolf's, won't it effect her?

Dr. 3adl: I don't know. I have never seen a case like this to judge what could and couldn't happen. I'll give you an appointment one month from now. By then your eye should mostly heal.

Khalid: Thank you.

Rose and Khalid got up and went to their car.

Rose: -Sigh-

Khalid: Don't worry honey.

Rose: 2 eye colours. That would look weird.

Khalid: You're beautiful in any way.

Khalid picked up her hand and kissed her knuckles. Rose smiled and Khalid smiled back at her. 

Khalid: 5lena nt'3da bra elyom. Wen tbeen?

Rose: Msht'hya ha4ak elm63m el9enii elli fe elrashid.

Rose: Ent wen btroo7?

Khalid: Broo7 elshrka. Lazm agoolhm eni rj3t o a5l9 km sh'3la.

Rose: Uha.

Khalid drove Rose home and went off to work.
