I've never spent September's nights in hospital before, I sleep in room number 3 with 5 patients with me, every one of them has its own unique story. I'm crying again, I remembered how horribly I'm living, no one gives me a helping hand, reversely they're trying to vanish every breath of me. My goal seems far away as far as I'm thrown here for no reason. Years ago, I was fascinated by silence of the lambs, Hannibal and the woman covered with the sun. Today, I'm happily re-exploring the sacred world of William Blake through his poems. I remarked from page 635, Jerusalem: the emanation of the giant Albion " the long sufferings of god are not forever there is a judgment "
It's 9th of September, and I'm eating lots of chocolate bars, candys and junk foods, although I'm not eating whole meals or carbs, but I'm afraid I will get fat. I weighted 49.4 kg when I entered hospital, it's 51.8 kg at the moment. I don't know why there's trouble with the nurses in taking my blood pressure and heartbeat measures every time.
10th of September, I'm waiting for lunch on 12:00 o'clock, I slept in room number 2 and there's 3 patients with me, one of them is Amal. Amal changes her name to Hawra, she claims that Hawra name brings good luck, she's religiously fanatic but a very respectable woman, she's around 42 years old, a very restricted family, married twice, and took her master degree from Chelmsford university. I'm looking through the window the sound of Adhour call for prying in my ears, I'm calm waiting when I would be able to get of here and never come back again.
12th of September, its Eid Aladha today and Muslims celebrating pilgrimage rituals and traditions, on the corner of my bed here's my monthly readings, Einstein's dreams a novel by Alan Lightman, there's my silver metal glasses beside a punch of tissues, me lying on bed reading the most captivating piece of art written about time, that mysterious quantity, how we can imagine a life without time? I'm going to leave a space for remarks from certain books that interest me aside on my blog. First book will be this one, this book is full of precious information and many wise words that need a dignified pause. For memory he wrote: a world without a memory is a world of the present. The past exists only in books, in documents. In order to know himself, each person carries his own book of life. For the past he wrote: no person is whole, no person is free. Over time, some have determined that the only way to live is to die. In death, a man or a woman is free of the weight of the past. And for life he said: a life is a moment in season. A life is one snowfall, a life is one autumn day, a life is the delicate rapid edge of closing door's shadow. A life is a brief moment of arms and of legs.
Wednesday 14th of September, there was a party for patients, I didn't enjoy it, seconds are heavy on me, I can't bare it anymore. Time is cruel, time is order and meaningful.
Saturday 17th of September, and 'why have you left the horse alone' was completed in one day. These poems carried me new every time I read it, these poems are blooms in cherry trees on a spring night, these poems by Mahmoud Darwish.
Monday 19th of September, nurses took us to the entertainment lounge, to enjoy and dance, I drink coffee and few sweets doesn't kill anyone, we went around 10:30 a.m. and came back on 12:00 p.m. lunch was ready. It's quarter to 2:00 p.m. and I'm eating a banana after a short discussion with Dr. Mona and my social worker. I've changed with this medicine, I'm better, I told to my self be strong, I told to my soul pull me together again, it's a hard road to the top but it's worth suffering. When I'm in fine place later in my life if it's long; I want to laugh on these moments when I was pieces and I thought I won't made it. For the few weeks to come, it's a short resident and I will back to life stronger. I will solve everything by myself. I won't stop writing but I want my words wreathed with actions, powerful with results.
I was thinking about my career choices before all this things that meant to happen, if I were a little bit stronger and carful I could be a surgeon. I can't believe how much I have lots of wasted talents. I've never think about having full marks in every test but I can force myself to do that. I can be better by raising my social statue but I've never wanted lots of many or a materialistic life. Each month has its own feelings and atmosphere, I want to enjoy writing more than anything else.
Wednesday 21st of September, and another meeting with dr. Mona and dr. Effat. I didn't say much, they were also quite. Dr. Effat: how long did you sat in prison? (asked) Me: month and 14 days (answered) Dr. Effat: they want a report about your case and a psychological profile. Dr. Effat: what do you think about that? did you finish your sentence period? Is there anything else? Me: yes I did Me: if there's anything else, it must be my social worker; she asked my brother for papers from here, and he didn't bring it to her. Me: and that's it. Dr. Effat: thank you Somayah you may go now.
Thursday 22nd of September, its 4:00 o'clock in the evening, I just got up of sleeping, I was exhausted after a long conversation with Dr. Aisha and Dr. Effat I hope she will wrote discharged because Dr. Aisha is responsible on group B and she's a big consultant in this hospital. She told me: tell me everything, why did you ran out of your mother's house? What happened? From the prison until here. I told here almost everything and I'm tired now, specially after my non-attendance for the magnificent party of our national Independence Day as Saudis. On the other hand, my mom visit me today and my sister is not aloud to see me according to Dr. Effat orders. She brought an olive oil for my legs. an elegant meal from iBurger. plastic bag full of chocolates: sniker, twix, kinder bueno, mars, KitKat and much more. My personal care stuff: toothbrush, aloe vera toothpaste, and papaya soup. And finally a fresh mango juice. Dinner was around 7:15 p.m. and nurses raise the medicine from 4 to 6 ml.
Wednesday 28th of September, a phone call from my mom was around 3:00 o'clock on the evening. tears were dripping like ocean, on the other side my sister talking, powerful individual, silly game, turus, house three in horoscope, what! what! what! wait a minute! My mom also talking: you'll get out, we will get you out of there. Me thinking about Abdulrahman, and telling my mom to take his number from my small note or my phone and talk to him and tell him, if you love Somayah come and marry her, she has no one after god but you. I want to talk to my father telling him: you don't see your daughter going around and around herself in endless circle. Why can't you help me, what's going on! why you're silent? How these people can shut you down like this, are you afraid? If so, who are these people from? Government? from the royal family? Or the intelligence services! why can't you answer me?
