The Ignorance of A Mother.

I'm Adel, and I work as a psychiatrist and neurological disease specialist. Reham, my wife, is a
gynecologist. My dream was to open a private hospital on the outskirts of my city, it came true
when my expatriate brother supported me financially.On a holiday night at twelve o'clock, my
wife and I were on our way home from an evening with friends when the phone rang, and the
caller was one of my nurses in the hospital, telling me in an anxious voice that the patient Sarah
was in a critical condition and suffering from severe uterine bleeding. The on-call doctor was
powerless to help her.

I told my gynecologist wife that we needed to get to the hospital right away to see the patient and
that I needed her help as Reham worked in another hospital. We rushed to the hospital, and as
soon as we arrived, the nurse informed us that Sarah, the patient, had died. We were taken aback
by the news. My wife began examining the body to determine the cause of the bleeding, but the
most shocking discovery was that the patient was pregnant during the first examination of the
body, and the news hit me like a thunderbolt. How can she be pregnant while she has been
staying in the hospital for about six months. It was a difficult night because the power went out
and we heard glass breaking on the first floor.We went to the first floor after hearing the sound of
glass breaking, only to find the windows in Sarah's room open and broken, and the curtains
flying. My wife looked in horror at Sarah's body. I asked her what was the matter with this look
in her face. She told me that she had left Sarah lying on her back, not on her stomach, who did
this, and changed the position of the body.

My wife was terrified and said to me, "You still don't believe in ghosts, how can you explain to
me what is going on here now?" I told her that I was most likely the cause of the wind, which
caused the power outage and the opening of the windows, and she said, "Suppose this is true,
what is the matter with the body?" How did she change her place?. We went back to the office to
see the papers were falling on the floor and the windows were open and there was something
strange going on in this place, is it possible that my wife is right? Is it possible that there are
creatures called ghosts?. I told her that it was necessary to deliver the body to her relatives and to
go home to take a rest, and that she should not think of such superstitions at all. We actually went
back to the house to see something shocking. The walls were stained with blood and the house
smelled very bad. We were completely terrified. I summoned my friend, the investigator Safi,
who rushed over to see what was going on in the house. He initially assumed it was a murder or
something, but we told him everything that had happened to us that day. He advised me to go see
the sheikh Yousuf , who would be able to assist us in this situation. I looked at my friend in
disbelief and asked, "Are you serious about what you say, you also believe in such
superstitions?" He and my wife looked at me firmly and resolved to go see the sheikh. We rushed
to the Sheikh's office at Damascus University's Department of Sharia, Humanities, and Religious
Sciences. The Sheikh's appearance was relaxed, indicating that he was a professor and a well-
educated man. We told him what happened that night, and he said to me, "Son, I'm sorry to
inform you that the situation is very complicated, and you and your wife are in danger.".

Then we decided to visit Sarah's family and inquire about their daughter's life prior to her death,
as well as whether she had been exposed to strange things before being brought to the hospital.
We had enquired ahead of time with Sarah's friend Rasha, who assured us that Sarah was seeing
strange things. At first, her family refused to talk about her, but when we told them what
happened, the mother said it was all my fault, Sarah was a very beautiful girl and a university
graduate, but no one proposed to her at all, so my neighbor told me that it was likely that
someone wrote a magic for Sarah that prevented marriage and that we must visit the witch to
solve this dilemma. To assist Sarah in marrying, the sorceress requested a piece of cloth from her
clothes and a lock of her hair. Sarah's mother did, in fact, bring what the woman had requested.
And as soon as the matter devolved into extortion, where the sorceress began to demand large
sums of money from Sarah's mother on a daily basis, prompting the latter to retrieve the money,
the sorceress said to her: I promise you that you will regret it.

After telling what happened, the doctor, his wife and the investigator, everyone confirmed that
the witch was behind what happened to Sarah, and the investigator sent his assistants to bring the
witch, who in turn admitted that she was the cause of what happened to Sarah in revenge for her
mother. After the witch was arrested, the Sheikh went with the doctor to the hospital and asked
him to leave him alone in the room in which Sarah died, and not to open the door before dawn.
Adel heard a voice of a baby crying and when he looked out of the window he found a woman in
a white dress and long black hair holding the crying baby in her hand, his limbs trembled and he
could not say a word. The investigator, who had fallen asleep, woke up to see his friend in such a
state of terror that Adel could not speak for a quarter of an hour of silence, then he told his friend
what he had seen. The two went to the room of the cleric who was hugging the Qur'an with his
hands, lying on the floor sweating heavily. The cleric fell asleep due to exhaustion and fatigue,
and in the morning when he woke up, he told Dr. Adel that he and his wife were fine, but Adel
must close this hospital forever, as the ghosts refused to leave it because they were avenging
their fetus who died in Sarah’s womb. Adel sighed sadly, as his dream, which he had always
dreamed of, collapsed. The reason for all of this was the ignorance of a mother.
