Chapter 9: First-Time Meeting

Date: Thursday. 18/November/20XX

Time: 10:42

Location: USA- New York City -Presbyterian Hospital -The Hospital's Roof-

The door of the top roof opened, and Hassan went out of it followed by Bamsi.

"Sir, why you brought me here?" Asked Hassan while looking at the buildings around. "I want to ask you about something, and I can't let anybody know about it….. yet." Said Bamsi and Hassan turned to him.

"Sure, I am listening…" The way Hassan talks remind Bamsi of his oldest brother Khaled. Who died in the explosion with Kareem. "I don't know from where to start…Is that really My sister's oldest son Hassan?" He took a deep breath and exhaled as he begins.

"Is your mom's name Hakima?" He looked at Hassan. His facial expression changed all of sudden. Hassan put his hands in his pockets. "Why are you asking about her name? What do you want from her?" Asked Hassan in a suspicious tune.

"Woah easy Young one! I don't mean to hurt her. I swear!" Said Bamsi raising both of his hands at his chest level. Even though it was the first time he meets Hassan in person, Bamsi felt embarrassed. " I just want to know if that's her name or not…."

"He's not lying, but I still can't trust him …, and….. why is he so familiar? Where did I see his face? Or… heard his name maybe?"Thought Hassan and said, "Yes, that's her name."

"Is she Syrian of British origins?"

"Yes, she is." Answered Hassan leaning at the nearby wall. "Is it true that her name was Emily before she change it to Hakima?" Asked Bamsi hoping to get it right. He saw a surprised expression on Hassan's face.

"Yes… It's true…."

"How did he know about her name before she married my dad? Nobody knows about that except…." Thought Hassan and saw the joy on Bamsi's face "I can't believe it! It's her! Thank God, I finally found her!" Thought Bamsi in joy and was brought back when Hassan continued his talk.

"…. And you're her youngest brother Gorge, right?" Well, that made Bamsi open his mouth surprised.

"H-How did he know?"

"Yes, I am." Replied Bamsi looking down "That's my name before I change it to Bamsi…" He said and looked at Hassan who wasn't believing what he heard.

"Oh, My God…."Mumbled Hassan and asked again "Is that really you? The Surgeon who got a master's degree in Ophthalmology?" Hassan was pointing at his uncle. He saw Bamsi scratching the back of his head and said. "Yep, The one and the only." with a grin.

(W.N: 'Ophthalmology': it's a medical terminology and it means a surgical subspecialty within medicine that deals with diagnoses and treatment of eye disorders.)

"Unbelievable! …Oh, uh sorry…I overreacted…, but I want to say thank you!" Said Hassan with joy. "You're lectures and skill books helped me a lot when I was studying in college!"

"You've listened to my lectures? Glad it helped you!…wait..." Bamsi was happy for a second but stopped when he concluded with something. "Did you study Ophthalmology too?"

"Yes, I did!" Said Hassan excitedly and continued "My mom told me that one of my uncles was studying ophthalmology too and that he will become the smartest one. That somehow encouraged me to study it too…." Hassan raised his head as he talked but trailed off when he saw a surprised expression on Bamsi's face.

"She …told you about me?" Bamsi found himself asking with pointing his finger at himself, and Hassan answered simply. " Yes, she always talks about you and my other uncles and aunties all the time. We sometimes wish that we could meet you in person." Stated Hassan and chuckled "Hehe… Even Layan told her once to take a break and visit you especially."

"Does that mean she didn't forget about us?" Asked Bamsi still can't believe it. Hassan gave him a questioning look and answered. " No, of course not!" He couldn't hide his curiosity. "But why are you asking?"

"Because after my sister left the house and I came back from college. A guy called Jack Scott had told my parents that she won't come back ever again." Hassan's eyes widen when he heard that name "J-Jack Scott?! T-The same person?! If it is him then he may be…." Bamsi noticed Hassan was trying to calm down and raised his head and asked his uncle.

"And what did my grandparents do?"

"They asked him 'How did you even know if she really said that or not?', and he said that he and her husband (Mr. Kareem) are close friends and heard her saying that...Well …that …broke my parent's heart." Said Bamsi sadly and raised his head to look at his nephew who was …angry? or let's say furious. You could tell by looking at his obvious yet tightened vines. That made his uncle worried.

"Hassan? Are you all right?"

"It was him after all! But how did he know my grandparents? As I remember my father didn't tell him about them even once unless…." Hassan's thoughts made him look aside and went into his deep thoughts. Bamsi tried to call him, but Hassan was in another reality. The fourth time, Bamsi had enough. He walked to Hassan and put his hand on Hassan's shoulder and squeezed it. At the same moment, Hassan remembered what was it.

"Aha! Now I remember! Eh?" Hassan went back to reality when he felt the squeeze and the sudden yell near his ear. "Huh? Ouch?!"

"Hey! Hassan! Are you even listening to me!?" Yelled Bamsi irritated and pulled Hassan from his shoulder turning him to face his annoyed uncle. As soon as Hassan faced his uncle he said "Uncle, I think someone is trying to fell us into a trap." Announced Hassan and his uncle became confused.

"Huh?" Bamsi blinked twice and recovered fast by giving his nephew a strict face. "What do you mean, my nephew?" Wondered Bamsi and crossed his arms in Infront of his chest.

"The person who told you about my mother was actually the same person who visited us." Began Hassan explained "He said that you have rage and anger because my mom left the house and married my father without my grandparent's permission-when she didn't-…, and about the fact that he is a close friend to my father was a lie. "

"R-Really?"

"Yes, I saw him many times trying to kill my father and trying to cover it with 'accidents happen'. I and my brothers were about to call the police and raise a file to the court against him, but my father stopped us."

"But Why!?"

"I don't know either…"

"What happened after that?" Asked Bamsi With full listening; If this theory was right, that means that Jack Scott is hiding something bigger which might cost many lives in return.

"Our oldest brother Jassem went missing, and they confirmed that he was dead after 2 months. My dad couldn't accept that, so he went on a searching journey with Ali, and…." Hassan trailed off and looked away.

"Oh, I see…Sorry for reminding you…"

"No, it's ok…." Hassan tried to change the topic. He doesn't want his first meeting with his uncle to be like a storm of dark truths. "So…, what are you going to do now? Do you want to say hi to her?" Asked Hassan Bringing his uncle's attention. Bamsi's eyes were empty for a moment then he blinked again realizing what Hassan asked him. He looked away and said " Well, I am not sure about this one. " With a sigh.

"Since you two are here how about right row?" Bamsi turned to him with an annoyed look in his eyes.

"Are you messing with me, Kid? We haven't seen each other for quite a while."

"You can't judge until you try by yourself." Said Hassan and went to the door. Bamsi was only standing in his place and looking at Hassan. He thought that he was going back to when he was playing with his brothers and sisters. "Come on! Uncle! What are you waiting for?" Bamsi was back to reality. Still standing in his place and looking at Hassan. He smirked and Said as he walked "All right all right I am coming. I need to talk more with you and the others, young one… I am excited to meet my sister's kids anyway." He put his hands in his pockets and passed Hassan who was happy to meet him.

"And we are excited to know more about you uncle!" Replied Hassan and took a last look at the surrounding buildings and the sun. His eyes travelled the long buildings until they stopped at the black thing at the top of one of the buildings. He narrowed his eyes and grinned. "Everything will be ok. Do not worry." He clenched his fist and put it in front of his chest. Then closed the door of the roof behind him.

From far away, there was a stranger with a black uniform, a long black coat, a Black baseball hat, and a black mask. It was somehow familiar with Kareem's and Layan's outfits. There was a long katana behind his back. The blade of the katana was purple with some white plant decoration at the sharp end of it. His eyes were strange and creepy at the same time. The sclera (the white part of the eye) was purple while the pupil and the iris were white.

He whistled and mumbled in Japanese. "He recognized me after 12 years! HAHA! It's a miracle! but are the others still remembering me?" He said joyfully and felt his phone vibrate. He picked up his phone and started talking in a dark tone. "What? I am listening…Ok…*sigh* Ok … on my way." He put his phone in his pocket and began grumbling.

"! #$ They don't know how to finish it?! It's a piece of cake!" He growled and raised his head looking at the hospital. "*sigh* Well, looks like I will have to carry over the visit. I am sorry little sis, but duty calls. Sadly, I have to leave you with the morons – except my mom of course- Hehe. Even though it was for a short time, but I really enjoyed it." Then a small purple vortex began rotating around him.

"Take care. Sister Layan." Said the 'strange guy' adjusting his hat.

"Not being able to meet today doesn't mean that we can't meet in the future, right?" He chuckled and the small vortex became bigger and stronger and still rotated around him until suddenly vanished. The only thing that remained was several purpled small crystal-like stars that disappeared with the blowing winds.
