The
eight year old Khadija was backing home, after a long day from working in the
field. Although, it was five o'clock in the evening, she decided to celebrate
the feast in her own way, as it was her only chance to celebrate it, right now.
She got her red dress from the cupboard, worn
it and took her old toy with her outside. Khadija thought that it will be dark
when she gets back, so she re-entered her house, to get her lantern. And that what she remembered after five weeks
in hospital.
Hassan,
the doctor did not know what to do. He thought, he might go to the mayor, and
confront him with the truth, which he has been dealing with since he worked in
that miserable city. However, he thought "It is not a practical solution
or a safe one…. You have been safe for too long; you have to get out from your
cocoon".
While
he was heading to talk to the parents, he found them on their way entering
Khadija's room. Khadija started talking, with her eyes gazing. "I went
home, found Mr. Boray in the house. He…..and tore my new red dress".
Hassan
was not shocked like the parents anymore, he was decisive and determined. He
started collecting all the files about same accidents, and he used red charts
and files. Few days later, in front of the mayor's villa, Khadija was standing
there, with her friends, smiling.
