Asem

Wednesday, 6 pm Ala sent me a message Asem opened his eyes, talked to me on the phone, I’m so excited, going to meet him”

I was near to flying when reading this sms.
A few minutes later Mira sms me “what about visiting Asem, to see us will help him a lot”
Thursday. 11 am, Jihan, Mira and me heading to the hospital, Asem is transferred from the ACU, Jihad was there in his room, we entered the room, not sure of what we will find, we first met his eyes, he smiled so his eyes, when his mom sw us she said “ah now I know why he smiled” I could tell how happy he was to see us all around, his mom asked him “can you recognize them?” he murmured “Yusra…Mira” then Jihan appeared he smiled “Hajje!!” he was so happy we talked and blamed him for leaving us 25 days scared and tensed!!! He smiled… a pale smile, his beard was long, and his face is too tired.
I couldn’t take my eyes away, is it true? Is that Asem the lively guy we know? It’s just unconceivable to see ppl you love and you used to talk with-DISABLED- and you doubt if they even can see you or recognize you!!!
