Aunty Amara started rolling on the hospital floor crying and shouting chioma was by the corner shedding tears emeka on the other hand was shouting and crying like his mother .

My body was weak , my heart was pounding , my eyes were red but I wasn’t crying out loud , I was crying emotionally deep down inside of me .

” Madam, you have to stop crying out loud, take your children out this is an hospital please. You are disturbing other patients ” the doctor spoke in a cool manner.

” No!!, No!!,No!! , Mike can’t die just like that, he is my husband for crying out loud. Doctor Please do something to bring him back to live . I have money , plenty of money , I will pay you in dollars , in pounds . Please do something Doctor ” aunty Amara spoke in tears.

” As I said earlier madam , your husband is dead and there’s nothing i can do or anyone can do about it . He is gone and gone for good . Your money can’t bring him to live. Am so sorry madam” the doctor spoke in a cool voice and went upstairs.

“Ben has killed me Oooh, Ben has killed me, I regretted ever bring him to my house . The very day he stepped his legs in to my house, I knew he was nothing but bad luck. Where am I going to start from ? What will I tell the world that happened to my husband?” Aunty Amara kept on crying and blaming me for her husband’s death .

I became so worried to the extend I didn’t know what to cry for . Should I cry for saying I made her killed her husband? or should I cry for the dead of uncle mike? .

I was so confused in tears , I cried like never before . I was deeply in tears when aunty Amara walked to me and said;

” You have succeeded in killing him ,you evil child. I must kill you today ” she spoke in anger and landed me four hot sound slap on my face , she was about booting me when a nurse came to my recuse .

” Madam you shouldn’t be doing this , you should be thinking of how to bury your husband not on how to kill a child ” one of the nurses spoke wrathfully at aunty Amara.

Aunty Amara angrily walked out of the hospital with her children . I hurriedly followed them behind .

” Where do you think you are going to ? And whose car are you thinking of entering? Haaaah, you have killed my husband and now you want to kill me and my children ? Mba nu, nu. Go and eat him stupid child ” she spoke angrily at me and drove off .

I chased her car in tears but she didn’t stop .

I went back to the hospital in tears . I went back to the hospital room where uncle make was lying down and started crying bitterly.

About some minutes later the nurses and the doctor came in to carry uncle Mike’s corpse to the mortuary when they saw me crying inside the room.

“What are you still doing here ? You should go home is getting late” the doctor spoke in anger .

” This is 8pm. Where is your mom and your siblings?” One of the nurse asked .

” They have gone home ” I replied in tears .

“Go and stand outside we want to take his corpse outside ” the doctor spoke in a cool voice.

” Doctor do you believe that I killed him? I asked in tears .

” Son, You didn’t kill him , God knows why he took him away . Everyone will die one day we are living by God’s grace in this world . It’s his time and we shouldn’t question God for that. God gives and takes. It’s not the end of life for you, God knows how to take good care of his children. That is what my pastor told me” the doctor replied.

” Doctor do you believe in God ? I asked in tears .

” Hahaha, there is no God in this case. Person wey done die , done die ” the doctor added.

” If you all don’t believe in God as you said , then allow me to pray for him. If he didn’t wake up the next morning then you can come and take him to the mortuary”

The doctor and the nurses were all amazed by the kind of words that was coming out from my mouth.

” We can’t allow him here , he is dead already . Our hospital is one of the best in this country when one is dead here is dead “one of the nurse replied.

” No, nures jen, let’s allow him to pray , tomorrow we will take his corpse to the mortuary if he didn’t wake ” the doctor spoke and they all left .

I was left all alone in the hospital room . I have never seen a corpse in my life before until that day . My heart was beating , I was scared before I decided to pray .

I prayed all through the night asking God to bring back uncle mike but there was no sign of him breathing.

The next morning , the doctor came with nurse jen to take the corpse to the mortuary.

” I told you, your daddy is dead . There is no God. We are born to give bath and die ” the doctor spoke.

” Remove the oxygen from his mouth ” the doctor instructed nurse jen.

” After you have deposited his corpse to the mortuary ,you take the boy home ” the doctor added.

I angrily ran outside the hospital in tears . I was outside crying in disappoinment throwing away the Jesus neckless grandma had given me .

I could remembered very clearly when she said Jesus is the light if the world .

” If he is the light of the world why didn’t he safe Mike ? ” I thought to myself in tears .

I was crying so bitterly when nurse jen came .

” You have to stop crying , let me take you home ” she spoke in a cool voice .

” I don’t want to go back home . Aunty Amara will kill me ” I replied in tears .

” She won’t kill you,let’s go home ” I entered her car and she drove off .
