******BIG MUMMY******
I was feeling uncomfortable and restless as I left the two of them alone in the sitting room and headed to my room, I sat on my bed and began asking myself series of questions “Time is going now, won’t he come again?” “What could make him so late like this?” “Is everything all right?” “Or something bad has happened to him?” “Oh my God the boy is now in my sitting room waiting for his arrest.” When I couldn’t take it any longer I took my phone and dialed his number but he didn’t answer my calls, anyway I don’t have to be worried since his number is going through maybe he’s closed to me that’s why he couldn’t pick my calls. I have to do all my possible best to delay the boy till the arrival of my brother, but God is powerful than me because my eye was cover to the extent that I didn’t know that my brother had involved in an vital accident somewhere around Jabi Lake.
******NIKE******
LOCATION: ACCIDENT’S SCENE JABI LAKE, ABUJA . Crowd are now gathered around our car as some of onlookers were busy asking themselves numerous questions “Who is this man?” “What happened shay na fight?” “Bros accident happen here?” “Oh my God this man don die o.” Few minutes later I saw a blue hilux car approaching us, the car moved closed to us and I saw “FRSC” (FEDERAL ROAD SAFETY COMMISSION) boldly written on it, four men came down from the hilux and came over to our car, Thank God someone is here to safe our lives not onlookers. My daddy buried his head on the steering I think he hits his chest on it, looking at him would make one concluded he’s now gone, the other two policemen and I were unhurt, but our mind isn’t settled due to the shocked of the accident and it really took us unawares.
The FRSC team forced the car doors opened and brought us out, four of us were carried to Gwarimpa General Hospital, my daddy was rushed to emergency ward, where he was attended to, “I’m the doctor assigned to your daddy” the doctor introduced himself to me as we made our way to emergency ward “Young lady don’t be afraid your dad will be ok” Doctor said again. I just stood folded my arms as I was busy looking at the Doctor Who was trying all his best to revive my daddy, series of test has been conducted on him, thank God his chest scan was quickly out than expected, the result shows that he didn’t sustain any injury on his chest and I Thank God for that, Doctor penned down something on file after he gave him two injections,
“Young lady you can now wait for me at the reception” he said to me, without answering him I moved out of the emergency ward and waited patently for him at the receptions, 30Minutes later he walked out with sorrow written all over his face, looking at his face made me confused more, wether my daddy has gave on the ghost, I would have called my mummy and explained everything to her but my phone is nowhere to be found, maybe its in my daddy’s car? I can’t say. .
Nike: Doctor how is my daddy? .
Doctor: You daddy is much ok now, but we need some of your relatives who will sign undertaken because we need to operate him .
Nike: ***Crying*** Ghos my daddy’s condition is so critical to that level? .
Doctor: Not really you can go and see him after an hour, though we still need to operate him, please call your mummy .
Nike: My p *** Before I could complete my statement one of the FRSC officers walked to us with my Daddy’s phone ringing in his hand, he picked the call because the caller name was saved with “MY SISTER”.
