Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah says, ‘I have nothing to give but Paradise as a reward to my believer slave, who, if I cause his dear friend (or relative) to die, remains patient (and hopes for Allah’s Reward). [Hadith; Sahih al-Bukhari 6424]

July, 2021.
Abuja, Nigeria.
"Dr. Ammah. Your mother called. She said she had been trying to get a hold of you for a while now." A nurse said to the doctor that just stepped out of the operating room, head thrown back, and arms stretched in exhaustion.
Ammah rose her hand to the nape of her neck, then massaged it to soothe the aching muscles there. Being in surgery for five hours had worn her out. She glanced at the nurse, lips set into a tight line, "My mother?" She asked, a brow quirked slightly.
The nurse nodded, "Yes Doctor" She smiled.
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her you're in surgery"
Ammah stared at the nurse for a while, then nodded. "Alright" She muttered, walking past the nurse.
She didn't need to say it, her walking away meant that was the end of the conversation. They had been in the situation so many times that the nurses were slowly getting a hang of it. After all, it's been happening for two years now.
Ammah briefly closed her eyes, as she made her way over to the locker room to change out of her surgical scrubs before she goes for round to see her out-patients. She didn't want to get scolded for walking around in it. The only time she wouldn't scolded for going around in it is if she has her white coat over it.
She knew she should call her mother back, but she doesn't want to. She already knows what the call is about, and frankly speaking, she didn't want anything to do with it. She had told her mother that already, but her mother is just as stubborn as she is.
