In the dawn darkness, Ahmed stretches his arm to turn off his phone alarm.


    He washes his hands, puts the mat on the floor and starts praying Fajr. After saluting, he prays:


    " God, I don''t want anything but your blessings and forgiveness. I''m.. I''m trying to keep your guidance as I can.. Please, save my family and me from any crisis. Amen"


    At the same time, Maryia was praying at her room, and crying:


    "God, I know I have to be patient but.. I''m tired of these thoughts.. I can''t resist it anymore.. Please Allah, let me get healed from this soon".


    Maryia is suffering from Psychosis. She has been suffering with delusions and dissociation since a period of time.


    The morning comes, and Ahmed gets out of his room holding his school bag. Suddenly, he remembers that he forgot something, his books!


    Ahmed has a history with ADHD but he doesn''t remember about it. His medications were taken at the age of 6. He didn''t know what ADHD means. He was a child. Hopefully, he got healed from it, did well in studies and socials, and stopped medications, until he starts to suffer again with a different pain.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent.

    He passes beside Sarah, his mother, having a warm short conversation:


    Ahmed:


    "Mom, I''m getting out, Bye"


    Sarah:


    "Eat something before leaving, dear!"


    Ahmed after opening the door hurrying to school:


    "I''ll eat something outside"


    Sarah smiles reacting to his teenage behaviors.


    At the same time, Maryia was holding her school bag tightly. She has a serious personality. No boyfriends, no jokes, just studies!


    She passes beside Yousra quickly, her mother, having a usual cold conversation:


    "I did!"


    Maryia leaves the house, and Yousra looks surprised. Maryia has been very distant and staying alone a lot. This habit gradually exceeds.


    In the school corridor, Ahmed and Maryia are walking on the same floor. On the first days of the first semester of senior high school year. They exchange glances. Maryia looks interested, while Ahmed looks cold and prestigious, which makes Maryia adopt the same attitude.


    Maryia gets in the class quickly. She sits beside her friends after coldly warming them as a serious perfect good girl. Ahmed comes after her. The class boys (they are men as they believe about themselves) salute Ahmed warmly. One guy asks him how he feels, another one asks about his health, and Ahmed waves at each of them and shakes some of their hands.


    Maryia looks at him with narrowed eyes. Ahmed sits beside one of his friends and starts talking and laughing.


    The teacher suddenly:


    "Ahmed! Keep silent!"


    Ahmed waves at the teacher showing apologies. Maryia who was still looking at Ahmed looks back at the teacher again who resumes the lesson. She doesn''t forget to drop her eyelids showing an uncaring attitude, although she showed the opposite a few seconds before.
