after the doctor left i saw a tall pretty girl coming towards me .She had a very inspirational personality and confident friendly smile on her face was supporting my weak isolated existence amazingly .
She walked like she was princess ,as the whole world will do as she will say to do .As she was winner of hearts and no sadness ever touched her .
She sat confidently on the desk at side and asked "are you okay ?
Is there something wrong sorry i am asking because i saw you from there as you were arguing with doctor just left "
Her warm friendly accent and caring behaviour encouraged me to tell her what happened. At the end of my talk i realised it was hard for her to hide her smile or may be it looked that smile was strong part of her appearance!
the photo above is of one of our t.v actress but she resembles in her features with aadila so much ,specially the attitude.
She said that " if you come out of your nest you have to prepare for such behaviour from most of men around".
"you can not finish it though you can reduce it by making your presence strong and confident "
"The weak ,shy or low you look men will try to take advantage of you because they are made this way ,they are totally wild when they see women specially young girl around"
She told that her mom is in same ward at other corner ,she is suffering with Hepatitis C and is in great pain as it was late diagnosed disease though doctors were trying their best.
Daily a very expensive injection was brought by plane from Karachi and her body was attached to a plastic bag which was to receive a yellow coloured fluid draining from her body .
I went with her to see her mom and i realized that she was in very serious condition. I prayed for her health in my heart as i liked aadila and i wanted her to be happy .She was an ideal girl .I found such girls only in stories or novels.
She was truly a delight ,full of life .Among all the misery that life was giving her she was still happy and energetic . I was amazed with her confidence ,her dare and bravery .
Each day she got up before the sun ,now she was my friend so she took me each day with her from the secret emergency exit which was not known to other people .We go out .She would meditate to thank God for new day ,then she would pluck flowers form the wide spread huge lawn of hospital.
It would made me terrified as it was written all over that plucking flower is forbidden .But she would say " they will fad away anyway .people outside who can see them are healthy and don't have time to look at them"
"can you imagine when sick people laying inside on beds since long will see them around how much nice they will feel " These flowers will give them happiness and delight " they will evoke life in them"
We bring lots of flowers in ward and she distribute them among all patients .I saw that she was right flowers brought beauty and smile on their faded faces .
I met also her elder sister who was very stylish and confident girl .She was working as manger in bank of Rawalpindi. She also had a brother who was also doing job in private firm .Their father was died years ago and their mother brought them up with great effort and hardwork.But now she was ill and her kids were struggling for her life so in this part of life they can give her some joy and rest.
I hardly spent two weeks with aadila but in those few days i learnt lot from her . Though i cannot change my outlook yet i learnt that you should react when someone is actually a threat for you otherwise ignoring is best for ignorant acts of ignorant people .
I learnt that anger shows that you cannot do anything else except being angry . Store your anger as amount of energy and turn this energy to empower yourself.
I learnt that fear is good ,use it as fence around you but always keep one exit open to jump out of it so you can see what is behind it.
I learnt being sad is okay but wearing label of it and asking for sympathy or self pity is shameful thing to do because by doing so you show that you are helpless and useless even to face your own problems .
She always said crying and complaining is only waste of time .Let's do our best and then except what comes to us with open heart.
And she proved her words when her mom could not make it and died front of her eyes in spite of all efforts .
I was crying as my own mom died but aadila was calm though tears were dropping from her eyes yet she was trying to look after her elder sister and brother who were crying screamingly .Her face was flat and emotionless.I wondered what made her as strong and mature ,may be the death of one of her parent when she needed him badly or may be the struggle and sufferings of her mother who brought them up all by herself in this male dominated society .
I could never forget aadila,, her smiling face who had power to change people's life and perspective as she changed mine
love you all friends!
please take care stay positive ,life is too short and has no description when suddenly it will end!
God bless you all!!!
