Just got to my apartment,
After a long meeting with my siblings and folks.
It's been a long journey so far.
Removing my cloths and looking for
My AC remote control,
At least PHCN gave us light today.
Lying on my bed thinking about my mum!
Mummy mi!
My mum! What will I do without her!
It all started one evening....
2 years ago....
While removing her bra,
She noticed blood stains on the bra....
She pressed her nipple and she saw a bloody discharge!
It was that simple but yet complicated!
From the repeated hospital visits...
The various tests,
The financial burden on us all,
Our closeness and unity stronger!
Finally last month we all went with her,
To see the consultant pathologist for her histology result..
It was a shocker.
He just gave a short speech and told us.
Paget's disease.
Its a malignant breast cancer.
my mum couldn't hold herself,
She started crying...
He said she had less than 2 years to live because
The cancer had spread to other parts of her body.
He gave us the options we had.
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery etc
My dad said nothing.
He just held her hands tightly as we walked back towards the car.
We all went home in silence.
When we got home, we knew words wldnt help
So we prayed.
We also concluded to send her abroad for better treatment.
We planned...
Sold all we could,
Postponed all we also could.
Paid for the trip,
Got a dr's appointment in d US for her.
She going to travel 2mrw by his grace!
After a long journey, we all hope for a better outcome.
Ring ring
Ring ring
Ring ring!
My fon ringing! The sound brought me back to my senses.
Its dickson- my brother!
6 missed calls?
How come I didn't hear?
I picked the 7th time.

He said meet me @LUTH immediately!
What happend? I asked?

Lots of thought went thru my head!
What could be d problem?
I kept dialling dicksons no, he kept cutting the line!
Have dey kidnapped someone?
Or is mumsie dead?
Dis wld be d longest trip of my life...
From my house to LUTH!
Waiting for the bus to load,
The intermittent stops to drop and pick passengers,
The go-slow!
The check points!
Wow Lord!
I wish I could tele port! Infact,
I knw nothing major happened and I'l so shout @dickson
For making me go through this.
But wait, no1 is picking my calls...why?

After waiting for about 5mins he shows up behind me!
I am short of words...filled with rage and anger!
I asked, what is it?
What happened!
He hold my hands, he starts crying!
All of a sudden, my rage changed to fear!
Tell me what is it?
Mum is dead or what?
He said No, mum is fine....

Am I in heaven? Well no pain from burns so definitely i'm not in hell...
So I guess I lived a righteous life.
Wait a minute? Dickson that's dickson's voice!
Did he die also with me?
Are we in heaven together?
While pondering what was and what wasn't,
I felt another sharp pain in my other hand...a needle prick!
I open my eyes! Saw a man withdrawing blood from my veins.
It occurred to me! I'm not dead! I'm alive and in a hospital!
But this isn't luth!
I knw luth, I worked there @a point!
Whr I am is too sophisticated.
Lots of questions, but that aside!

*******************************************

I and joan were about leaving the house,
Dad said he was going out also so he'l get his suits from the dry cleaner.
I insisted her follows us,
He agreed but wanted us to use his car!
I agreed
We all left the house together...
He was fine when we left,
I was driving, he sat in front, joan behind.
He kept tanking us for the support so far for mumsie's health and himself...
How proud he was of us...
How he couldn't lose mumsie because he didn't knw how he'l manage without her.
How hopeful he was that everything was going to go back to status quo.
I kept telling him, everything wld be fine.
God that brought us to this point wld surely finish it.
He said he wanted to eat chicken from chicken republic, I stopped and got him what he wanted, even got some for joan also.
Finally, we got to joans house
She came down, dad also came down.he insisted on hugging her before she left...
He was all being mushy...didn't knw why.
Finally we got to d dry cleaners and we got his suits.
Got back into d car,
We were on out way back home,
When a car hit us from the side. He beat d traffic light and hit us while we were stationary!
It hit dads side....
D airbag popped and all....
We didn't see d person cos as d car stopped, d rider escaped....
I was too worried to look for the person since he/she wasn't inside d car!
A good Samaritan took us to LUTH.
Dad had no bruise or anyting....probably d shock of d accident.
He was still breathing while we were in car....but he was unconscious.
When we finally got to d hospital it was too late.....
I was so confused!
I went home to tell mumsie but I couldn't bring myself to it so I just entered my car and came back to d hospital and called u.
That's what happened....
I don't know what we are going to do!

Dickson! What r u doing here?
A man asked my brother....
I came with my sister...she's sick.
Oh sry o! How is ur mum?
She's fine thanks d stranger replied.
What r u doing here dickson asked?
I came to see stanley o! He had an accident and came here himself.
He said he hit a pajero jeep after his own jeep failed brakes @ kings junction!
Kings Junction!
Jesus! Dickson shounted!
I asked why r u shouting! He said that's d car that hit US!

Tanks Mcb2! And its babe o.
Pls, do i sound like a guy? Just curious

First of all!
Sorry guys for the delay in updating this story!

Wld improve on it.


***********************************************

I was wondering why all this wld happen to us!
My family!
It was like a dream or even a nigerian movie!
Always from one problem to another.
Just wen u tink u are done with problem A,
Problem B pops up!
Could it be that it was some1 from the village?
Or are we cursed?
1st twas my elder bro dying,
The other children being jobless,
My 3 miscarriages,
My husband leaving me,
Mumsie's health,
The financial burden on us all,
Now dad's death......
Why us LORD?
What have we done to deserve all this!
the money we all saved, even borrowed some,
For this medical trip. Now dad has to go now!
I wish I could take back d hands of time!
It can't get worse than this!

Now tinking of the way forward..........
Mumsie wld travel tomorrow, even if she has to go alone!
Infact she has to because, we can't get another visa/ticket in d next 8hours. Even sef, where is d money? We don't ve it.
We probably won't tell her her husband, our father is dead.

Tears flowed down my cheeks as I made these conclusions in my head.


I heard screams from the nxt hall way.
Dickson and other pple.
I will kill him today! I must kill him!
He killed my father!
Those where his words as he entered my ward!

I asked, what is it? Who do u want to kill?
Its stanley o! He replied.
U even knw him, its femi! Aunty Emmanuela's son!

******************************************************

Aunty Emmanuela was our neighbour back in those days.....
She was like our second mum!
She has 3 kids, femi was d last!
I remember we all playing together as kids.
she died 2 years ago,
But we all knew him as femi and not stanley.
So he killed my father?
There was nothing I could do to him at the moment!

*******************************************************


There was nothing I could do to him at the moment!
My dad was gone.
All I had on my mind was my mum!
How do I salvage this situation?

Ring ring ring!!!!! Ring ring ring!!!!
Joan was calling my fone!
Joan was my younger sister,
She doesn't knw about any of this,
Do I tell her? I thought,
No I won't because, she wnt be able to handle it,
She was dads favourite and she'l probably tell my mum.
So I just allowed the phone ring.....

Dickson was sweating and moving up and down.
Obviously confused and mumbling different things!


Ring ring ring!!!!! Ring ring ring!!!!
It was dicksons fon this time.
I was sure it was joan calling him also.
If it is joan pls don't tell her o!


Its not Joan? Its a number calling. He said.

Hello! Yes!

Haaaa mummy "E ka le o"
Kilo de ti e kpe mi kpe lu number yin?
Ta lo ni number yi?
(Translation: good evening mum, why aren't u calling me with ur no? Who owns this number?)
He spoke yoruba with my mum.
After some seconds of silence while he listened to what she was saying,
Next thing I heard was JESU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From dickson!!!!!!!
While the fone fell from his hands!

I sprang up from my hospital bed!
Dickson what is it?
What happened!
Tears rolled down his cheeks!
Dickson talk to me! Pls!!!!!
I picked up d fone, but it was in 3 parts, the phone, the battery and the battery cover.

I tried to put d pieces back together

Egbon mi o! Ki lo she le? What happened?
What d mummy say?
He just stood there!

I sat on d bed trying to search for the last received number so that i could dial it.

Then he spoke,
Mummy called with our neighbours fon,
She said she has been trying to get daddy but his phone no isnt going through and that.....














































He paused now sobbing!
































That what na!
Dickson finish what u are saying pls!































Armed robbers just left her house and dey took all d money in d house, including the dollars we changed this evening. The money she was to use to travel!


I just fell down!
