Prologue

I was moving toward my cabin. Then suddenly someone bumped into me.

The glass of water fell on the ground from her hand after drenching my white coat.

"I'm...sorr...sorry.." she sobbed.

As soon as her eyes moved on my wet coat, she grasped it from my forearm, getting panic.

"It's ok," I said in the most soothing voice and took back my coat from her.

She was still sobbing with a low voice, eyes stuck on the ground.

I looked around to find someone with whom she was. But I found her all alone.

"Umm...What happened?" I asked hesitantly.

She looked into my eyes with her misty and puffy eyes. Her Tears left their strains on her cheeks. Her nose turned pink.

I was getting numb.

May Allah give her patience.

She shook her head as no and left.

I made my way to my cabin. Her face was still fresh in my mind.

I took my seat at my desk and my eyes moved towards the window.

There she was sobbing, by sitting on the bench, cupping her head with hands, elbows rested on the legs.

Ya Allah, please give her courage and patience to face whatever situation she is suffering from.

Does something really bad happen to her?

I was feeling helpless, restless.

I can't take this any more.

So I went to the receptionist and asked: "who is that girl?" pointing out the bench where she was seated.

The receptionist replied, "sir there is nobody."

I turned to find her but she was gone.
