Article 402: The Mystry of Aging: After Forty Years: Short Story
Hasan Abdul-Qader Yahya
-"It's time for medicine, dear." My wife reminds me everytime. Time was evening and I was setting on my wheelchair.
- Thank you, dear!.... I raise my hand to take the six pills, I usually to take every night. The pills in my mouth, I raised my hand again, as if it is hapitual action, I took the glass of water, usually carried with the pills to find their way to my stomach.
For the last three years, my wife was taking care of me. She played the role of nurse in our empty nest, near Lansing Lake.
I married Sarrah, forty years ago. We both were young and expecting a long active life. When I proposed to her after two years dating I was graduating from Michigan State University. She was very happy much more than me. She graduated two months after me from the same university.
We both accepted offers at Michigan State University. Sarrah was a staff nurse, and I was assistant professor at the history Department.
When our first baby arrived.. I remember I slept on the chair at Sparrow Hospital, Michigan Aveneu. Forty years passed now.. we have another son, and daughter followed the next five years.
When we bought our home, near the lake, our kids enrolled at Meridian District schools. At Okemos. My wife used to care for the kids everyday, seven days a week, until they graduated from the same Michigan State.
Our children accepted offers, the eldest son moved to New York City, the other son also moved three years later, one to Los Angelos, California. And the daughter moved with her husband to Saudi Arabia.
- Don't stay long.. (my spouse said), Could I bring you a cover?
- Ok. Dear.. I won't stay long I am feeling to start a long trip
- Oh don't begin your philosophy of vanishing. You look healthy to me. You will be fine She entered the house
- You look healthy too. Thank you dear!
My wife recently visited her doctor at MSU clinic. There was shortage of breath and trouble heart beating. After three months now, nothing changed. She also usued to take a number of pills everyday. She measues her blood pressure everyday. She visits her doctor often. But feels daizy now and then..
I looked at the pond.. two flying ducks landed not so far on the wooden dick. They look happy, or at least that what I thought. I said to my self, "happy couple ducks...." I wished I was a duck..to fly like a duck away..
Sarrah brought a blanket, she puts it on my shoulder saying:
- Honey.. we are happy couples..I am lucky to mary the smartest man on earth.. I smiled. And continue looking at the ducks delving into the lake together.
I stayed almost all night at the pourch, it was 4 O'Clock a.m, I rolled my wheelchair inside the house I tried to be quite, so Sarrah will not wake up. We usually sleep in the living room, since we cannot climb the staire. Manage to hardly put myself on my bed and tried to sleep.
I woke up at seven a.m, looked at Sarrah, she used to bring me the four pills at morning time. But Sarrah was still sleeping.
- Sarrah . (I called her), my medicine . Dear!
But Sarrah did not move.. I called her again.. and again. Oh my God.. Sarrah took the long trip before me.. I never thought to die after her. What a world, ends with something we all hate. Called Death. (611 words) www.askdryahya.com
