On the other hand, Aliyah is sleeping and having a bad dream again as usual.
Whenever she sleep she always have a bad dream.
Her dream is always about the little boy and the girl name Haya.
Who are they? And how are they rted to Aliyah.
Well even Aliyah don’t know why they appear on her dream almost every night ever since she is a
teenager.
BUT whenever they appear on Aliyah’s dream, Aliyah can barely recall what the dream all about.
This night, in Aliyah’s dream she is seeing these scenes:
HAYA have been running errands all day.
And it’s already evening but Haya is still doing many stuff.
She felt very tired but her Aunt Selma sent her on an errand to buy food at the market.
As usual Haya walked fast so that she can do the errand as quick as she could so that her Aunt don’t
get angry.
Haya was on her way home when she saw a familiar face of a woman.
Haya saw Am, their housemaid when she was with her grandparents.
Haya felt very happy when she saw Am. She is close to Am when she is a little girl.
Thest time Haya saw Am was when Am attend on Haya’s grandparent’s burial to pay respect to
her former employer.
Before Haya grandparents died on a ne crash Am stopped working as their housemaid and
returned to her hometown for her mother is sick and no one will take care.
After Haya’s grandparents burial, Haya never saw Am again.
Am was walking down the street heading to the market where Haya bought food.
Haya approached her.
“Am! I’m d I see you again”, Haya eximed when she got near to Am.
“Haya! Is that you?” Am was so surprised when she saw Haya.
“What are you doing here in Zenica? I thought you go home at your hometown on Mostar when you
stop working as our housemaid in Grandma’s house at Sarajevo.” Haya asked Am.
“I’m here to find the father of my only son,” Am answered.
Haya noticed that disappointment crossed Am’s thin face.
“You have a son? So where is his father? He didn’t marry you? He leaves you when you are pregnant?
Why?” Haya asked too many question to Am.
“No! I’m the one who leave for I don’t belong where he belong.
Alem the father of my son is rich and I’m just belong to a poor family. I met him in Sarajevo during your
parents’ burial. We easily get acquainted to each other until we fall for each other and I got pregnant.
For I am a coward I leave Alem and never returned to him.” Am told her story with regrets.
“You leave? Then why are you looking for him now?” Haya asked. She is confused on what Am said.
“For I am sick and my condition is worse. And sooner orter I will die Haya. I have lung cancer. I want
to give my son to Alem so that when I’m gone there is someone who will look after him.” Am
exined.
“So did you found Alem? Asked Haya.
“Yes, but it’s toote to give him my son for he died three years ago because of brain cancer.” Am
said in sad voice.
Am is about to cry and Haya noticed it. Haya knew that Am is worried about his son.
For Haya is a kindhearted girl she offered help to Am.
“How can I help you Am?”
Without any hesitation Am said what help she needs for she knew Haya could help her.
“Can you please take care of my son if I’m gone Haya?” asked Am.”
Am took something from here sling bag. Here please take these picture of my son and some
evidences that he is son of Alem. And here is the address where my son and I is residing at present.
We shared a house to one of my friend near here.”
Haya took what Am handed to her.
“Okay I will visit your ce if I have time.” Haya promised to Am.
“Thanks Haya. I’m d I see you here.”
“Me too Am. But I have to go home now for sure Aunt Selma is looking for me now.”
“Take care Haya. I’ll wait for you to visit in my ced.”
“Take care also, don’t worry I will take care of your son when you’re gone.” Haya said in soft voice
holding back the tears in her eyes for she is sad because she knew sooner orter Am will passed
away.
They waved goodbye to each other.
Am took a deep breathe when Haya walked away but she is happy for she knew Haya will do what
she promised even though Haya is just an 11- year old girl.
Time goes by without a trace.
Haya didn’t knew that Am was already dead.
Am’s son is nowhere to go and suffer from being cold and hungry out in the street for he was
abandoned by Am’s friends to whom they shared a house for rent.
Am’s friend considered that Am’s son is just a burden and the child is good for nothing for the child
is only 5 years old and cannot help them to earn a living.
So one night Am’s friend sent Am’s son out of their house even it’s a cold winter evening.
That night Am’s son started wandering’ on the busy street of the city.
Haya got busy and she was not able to pay a visit to the house where Am residing.
In addition to that Haya also have her own problem that’s why she almost forgot the condition of Am.
Four months had passed and Haya still can’t visit Am’s ce for her Aunt Selma don’t allowed her.
That four months Am’s son suffered the hardship in life at his young age out in the street.
One day Haya decided to escape from her Aunt Selma to visit Am’s ce.
To her surprised when she reached Am’s ce, Am was already dead.
Haya don’t knew where to find the son of Am.
He is not in that ce now.
BUT Haya didn’t stop until she found the son of Am on the nearby ce.
