IN The DARK (A Story Of Love, Betrayal And Survival) - Season 1 - Episode 46

I hurriedly got into my car and followed Mr.
Stanley’s car to the hospital. Throughout the
drive i was scared and i had a shaky hand.

Immediately we got to the hospital which i
gussed to be their family hospital, The
workers accepted the Stanleys immediately
and Nelly was rushed to the emergency
room. We had to stay behind at the
reception. Nelly’s mom wouldn’t stop to cry,
i knew how she must have felt, i knew how
loosing someone dear to you was, and
loosing an only child would be the worst
feeling ever. I moved close to her and said
some peaceful words to her in a bid to
console her but she held my hand and said
“Nancy, where is Nelly, promise me she will
come back to me, promise me she won’t
leave me like this, promise me you will make
sure she takes her drugs when she gets
better, promise me Nancy! She is your
twinny right? You should know that she will
be fine, she will be fine right?” Nelly’s mom
asked and i could not help but cry. I left her
when i could not stop the tears running
down my cheek. Since i could not console
Nelly’s mom, her dad composed himself and
took his wife into his arms, as she
continued to weep. I thought it was
necessary to inform Jordan of the situation
at hand, so i excused myself and went back
into my car to place the call. Jordan picked
my call at the first ring and from his voice i
could tell he was happy. I knew i was about
to ruin his mood but it was something i had
to do. I took a deep breathe and said “babe
Nelly had an attack, we are in the hospital”.
I could hear Jordan scream “What?” from the other end. I repeated myself and he asked
for the name of the hospital. I gave him the
hospital details and he promised to be there
in a while. I went back to the reception and
tried to console Nelly’s mom again, i was
scared on what might happen to her but i
had to be strong just as my mom told me
before her death. Jordan arrived shortly
after my call, i rushed at him at sight and he
took me into his arm. Jordan released me
from the hug and asked how i was feeling
before we both walked up to Nelly’s parent.
They were familiar with Jordan and Nelly’ s
mom did not hesitate to tell Jordan all that
happened when he asked. Time checked
5:30pm the doctor incharge of nelly’s
operation, came out of the ER and we all
rushed at him. Mr. Stanley immediately
questioned him on his daughter’s health.

The doctor told everybody to be calm and he
promised nelly would be fine. The doctor
said she had been moved out of the ER and
taken to the intensive care and her
condition was not as critical as before. I was
relieved and so was everybody else. The
doctor asked to see her parent privately and
they followed him to his office. I remained
with Jordan at the reception.
******************** ** Nelly’s parent did
not tell us what the doctor told them but i
could see worry and sadness on their face
when they returned, I did not expect them
to feel less, she was there only child. Time
checked 6:45pm, mi mom called and asked
of my whereabout, i told her i would be
home shortly. I remembered i had to resume
work the following Monday. I informed
nelly’s parent of my departure and they
thanked me for my time. Jordan saw me off
to my car, he was moody during the walk
and he told me he would stay till Nelly would
be discharged when i asked him when he
would be leaving.I left the hospital for home
with a scared body and a scared heart.I was
scared of what would happen to nelly.I was
scared of loosing her. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Immediately i got home, i told my
foster parent about nelly when they asked
about my outing, they wished her a quick
recovery and i went into my room.I could
not eat neither could i sleep. I kept on
tossing on my bed, i would go on my kneels
and pray, then i would walk to and fro and
sing, sometimes i even lay on the floor to
pray for Nelly.I kept on praying for her
wellbeing till past 3:00am. That was when
sleep took me away. I woke up 6:00am the
following day.I called Jordan immediately i
woke up but his line was not reachable. I
took my bath and prepared for work after
which i had breakfast.I informed my foster
parent of my departure and left for work.

Mom packed wedding gift in my car for my
co workers before i left. It was good to
resume work, my co workers asked for their
wedding gifts immediately I resumed and i
shared the prepared gift among them. My
mind was still not at rest during work. I
could still not reach Jordan, i took
permission from Mr.larry and i rushed to the
hospital. I prayed my greatest fear was yet
to come to reality during the drive. The sight
that graced me at the hospital was terrible
,from the gate i heard crying everywhere,i
prayed it was not nelly people were
weeping over, i really prayed. I looked
around for Jordan but he was no where to
be found, i tried his number over and over
again but it did not go through.I summon
courage and went into the hospital. What i
saw was a rude shock!
(nelly is gone)
