The vertices of a hyperbola $H$ are $(\pm 6,0)$ and its eccentricity is $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$. Let $N$ be the normal to $H$ at a point in the first quadrant and parallel to the line $\sqrt{2} x + y =2 \sqrt{2}$. If $d$ is the length of the line segment of $N$ between $H$ and the $y$-axis then $d ^2$ is equal to $............$.
