Eyes and Rain
@ 5:08 PM
On Friday, my left eyes was so painful and red that I have to remove the contact lens. It kept tearing. I cannot concentrate in doing my work, with a left eye tearing and relying on the right eye to see. My sister thought of meeting me after work to just hang out. In the end, we went home straight, put our stuff and went straight to the nearby clinic. That night, after 9 long years, I stepped into a clinic as a patient.
I hate it there. The doctor says its 2 eye ulcers in my left eye. He tainted my eyes to have a better look. He poke here and there on my left eye ball because he couldn't find what he was looking for and declared it as 'superficial eye ulcers'. He told me to see him again in 2 days time. Gave me an expensive eye drop which he claims really good. Lucky for him, it is. It reduce the itchiness in my eye.
On the way home, my sister and I talked about pizza. Suddenly we craved for one so much that we decide to call for it. That was the worse meal ever. I did not enjoy it. Lights from TV are stinging and tearing my left eye. I wore a cap to block most light. In the end, I ate it with my eyes closed.
When I wanted to sleep, I have to ensure its total darkness. Even the faint light from under the door stings my eyes. I thought, "That's it. My life now is confined to total darkness." But when I applied the expensive eye drop the next day, it was improving. Towards the end, it gets better.
And so today, I'm supposed to see him again in the morning. After a morning jog with my sister and cousin and a few stops, he went to the clinic. Consider that non of us are sick and have been refreshed by laughter and morning excercise, we are quite noisy. Soon, its my turn and in I went. The doctor just shine the light in my eye and says its getting better, and to see him next week.
Off we went to McDonalds to eat big breakfast. The 3 of us sat there eating Big Breakfast and Hot Fudge Sundaes for slightly more than 1 hour. Our seats are quite warmed. We decide to go to a 'nicer' toilet, so we went to the community centre nearby. By this time, it started to drizzle. Went we're out if the toilet, it started to pour. The 3 of us ran to get to the nearby block. Halfway, my cousin and I seek shelter under a staircase when we realise we couldn't run as fast while laughing. My sister, who was leading, stops at the small steps in between the staircase and the block, turn slowly to look at us, and run back to us.
My cousin and I ended up laughing at my sister since she could have just continue to run and be saved by the rain. And the rain starts to becone heavy. Then we sang the Sesame Street song which we heard in McDonalds, and the rain gets heavier. After awhile, we decided to run to the block when the rain resides a little since we were getting cold.
We ran like 3 crazy kids. Once under the block, we laugh. Amidst laughter, re realize the rain stopped. If only we waited just a few seconds more, we wouldn't be drenched. And then, all of us went home to sleep. There goes whatever fats we've burned during the morning jog.
Nadiah.
