Tears of a child - S01 E12

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 12

Everywhere was crowded , people were standing by the hospital gate, the doctor was talking to one of the nurses . Nurse Jen ran inside the hospital in amazement I was following her behind as well, wondering why the hospital was filled up.

” You called me ” nurse Jen asked the doctor.

” Yes I did. There is an emergency that needs your presence . Haven’t you dropped him at home yet ? The doctor asked in amazement.

” I was on my way when you called. I haven’t gone far when I decided to rush back as you said on phone is an emergency” nurse Jen replied .

” Any ways. Some couples were brought in some minutes ago, they were involved in an accident and I want you to take care of them for they are seriously injured , and I know you are the right person that can attend to them at the moment”

As they were talking, I went to the side of the hospital wall, I was by the corner by myself . Thinking of uncle mike , asking myself where I will get another helper. I was in thought when nurse Jen asked me to follow her to the patient ward .

I followed her in to the hospital room and then I saw a wounded man, his right hand was broken and blood was rushing from the side of his head. I felt pity for him .

” Is he going to die like uncle Mike ?” I asked nurse Jen in tears.

” Shut up . He is not going to die . And don’t ever wish one dead ” she replied wrathfully . But when she discovered that I was in tears, she asked me to sit out.

I left the hospital room heading out when I saw a man running in short and a sleeveless in to the same hospital room I left .

I went and sat down waiting for nurse Jen to take me home. About some minutes later I saw her with the same man that ran in with a sleeveless running out together.

The way the sleeveless man was running mad me remembered papa Dele.

Papa Dele is Grandpa’s best friend in the village . I could still remember very clearly when Grandpa wanted buying a piece of land in the village that papa dele stood as his brother and his surety when he went to the bank to collect loan .

After grandpa had collected the loan, they came back home . The next day, I was with Grandpa peeling cassava when papa dele ran to my grandpa in a sleeveless and a short crying like a baby .

” I really need your help ” papa dele spoke in tears .

Grandpa gazed at him in surprised . Grandpa stood for a while wondering why his best friend papa dele was crying for .

” You don’t have to cry and beg me for help . You are my best friend and everyone know in this village knows. So cry not ” grandpa spoke .

” Is my wife , is my wife oooh” papa dele spoke in tears .

” What about your wife ? Grandpa asked .

I was still peeling the cassava on the floor pretending as if I wasn’t listening to them .

” She was involved in an accident , and the doctor said he won’t commence with treatment if a deposit of fifty thousand is not deposited ” papa dele replied in tears .

Grandpa heaved a deep sigh and went inside his room and brought out money in an envelope and handed it over to his friend papa dele as the villagers usually called him .

He was excited that morning thanking grandpa. After he had thanked grandpa he left in a hurry .

” You are a good example of a friend” grandma spoke from inside the house.

I was still in thought when the man on sleeveless tapped me on the shoulder and said nurse Jen wants to see you outside.

I was lazy to get up because I was really tired and hungry .

” Boy you have to come fast ooh” the sleeveless man spoke hurriedly and left .
