IN The DARK (A Story Of Love, Betrayal And Survival) - Season 1 - Episode 17

THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER OF MY LIFE AND THE BEGINNING OF NEW THINGS. MY LIFE DRASTICALLY TOOK A NEW TURN. After ending the kiss with Jordan,i left for home. Throughout the ride home,i was feeling fly and my joy knew no bound. I rushed into mom’s arms immediately i got home,she could tell i was happy but she thought i was been greatful for the dress. After hugging mom,i went to kelvin’s room and i told him about Jordan,he was happy for me and he hugged me before i left. When i got to my room,i called khole and she kept on screaming ‘yes!’ into my ears.
She promised to come over the following day to celebrate. Jordan also called before i slept, he made beautiful promises of love and i was overwhelmed. When joy know no bound,it brings about tears. I cried to bed feeling too happy and greatful to the lord. Most especially for having love around me. The following morning,Jordan woke me up with a phone call,after which he sent a beautiful sms,love is beautiful. I greeted mom and prepared for school. Getting anxious at what Nelly’s reaction would be when i tell her about Jordan.

I went to school in a happy mood. I had lunch with Nelly and i told her about Jordan.Actually she asked after Jordan first. I could sense that Nelly was not genuinely happy when i told her about my new relationship status with Jordan so i had to change the topic. The day ended on a boring note as Nelly started acting cold. On my way home,i called Khole and she told me she was on her way already. I got home 3:00pm and mom was fully dressed for shop. I hugged her and she asked if i would love to come with her. I told her khole was coming over so i had to be home. Mom said she felt like driving herself and she left alone in her hilux without a driver.

I had a change of cloth and informed Kelvin that Khole would be coming over. Khole arrived at 4:00pm and i was super excited to see her. She did not wait to settle down before she started asking me about jordan. I told her everything that happened and she started teasing me.

She brought up the happenings of the day we met Jordan and she had fun laughing alone. I made to pull Khole’s hair but the ringing of my phone stopped me. The caller I.D was my mom’s so i hurriedly pick the call and said “Hey momma” i was expecting my mom’s laughter from the other end but all i heard was the voice of a complete stranger. “Please the owner of this phone was involved in an accidents and she has been rushed to general hospital,please be there on time” the stranger ended the call and i could feel sweat all over me, everywhere became dark and i was lost for a minute. Khole noticed my mood and asked me what happened, i stammered and said “My mom…accident…hospital…” khole quickly picked up my phone and called my mom back. The stranger picked up again and i heard khole asking questions from him. I did not know how i got to the hospital cos i was so destabilized but i saw myself there with khole and kelvin. Immediately we got to the hospital i rushed to the reception,i asked the nurse on duty about an accident victim that was rushed in some minutes ago.
She told us her ward and said the doctor was stil attending to her so we had to wait.

Few minutes later a nurse came out of the ward and she asked for ‘Nancy’ she said the patient was requesting to see me. I rushed into the room and what my eyes saw shattered my world. I could not believe my eyes, my mom was healthy some minutes ago and now in great pain. My mom had a deep cut on her head,and i could not even see her legs. Is it that her legs disappeared or Was it my eyes? I do not know. I moved closer to mom and held her hand, her hand was shaking but she managed to touch my cheek. She looked deep into my eyes and said “My baby….Nancy…..Be STRONG….”. That was mom’s last word before she started breathing heavily,i grabbed her hand tightly and kept on screaming “Mom!!!! Dont leave me,remember you are my world! My pillar! My everything!!. Mom without you….without you mom there is no me.
Mom say something! Talk to me mom!! Why cant you be strong? For me mom, BE STRONG!”.

I started to cry as i screamed, mom continued to shake and a nurse forcefully took me out when the doctor said she would be rushed to the E.R (Emergency Room). I came out of the ward and went into khole’s arm,she was also in tears as she asked me what happened.
