World Apart (Episode 25)
Michael was confused about what to do, he was just running around the sitting room shouting.
He came close to me and I landed him a heavy slap at the back.
He screamed. What did I do now?
Is your fault, I shouted in pains.
I wanted to beat him again when Mom heard our shouts and ran downstairs to find out what was happening.
Mommy my water just broke I screamed.
What? Michael, what are you doing? Let’s take her to the hospital immediately”, Mom shouted at him to put himself in order.
He ran upstairs to get the already packed baby bags and I was rushed to the hospital.
It was not an easy labor pain for me, I pushed the baby severely but the baby was not coming out.
It was the worst pain of my entire life, at some point, I couldn’t breathe well. I lost strength and I was not able to continue pushing.
All I was saying, was that I was tired. I can't continue anymore.
Mom and Michael were outside pacing up and down in the reception.
The doctor sensed danger and ran out to tell them that I had lost my strength and if the C-section was not carried out immediately that they might lose me and the baby.
Michael almost had a heart attack hearing that then he told the doctor to go ahead and do the C-section because he didn’t want anything to happen to his wife and baby.
Mom asked him to follow the doctor immediately to sign the necessary paperwork.
It was a cold night for the family, Vera was not around but she promised to get to the hospital first thing the next morning.
She had left the previous day to visit a guy she was seeing. We hoped that things would go well between them so that our darling Wifey would find love again.
So, the C-section was carried out and I delivered two beautiful babies, a boy, and a girl.
I was so happy to see the beauty that came out of my ovaries. When I heard their cries and held them, I had tears all over my face.
Is God not wonderful? I am now a mother? Dove the Orphan girl without a family is now a mother.
I didn’t know how to express my emotions. I looked at my Angel and saw a happy man with tears of joy dropping from his cute face.
“ I love you so much my Dove,” he said to me while holding my hands, I didn’t have the strength to respond but I nodded that I loved him too with all my heart.
Later the early hours of the morning I entered a coma.
It was terrible.
Michael was traumatized, he didn’t know what to do. The babies were fine but I lost consciousness and according to the doctor, I lost a lot of blood.
A blood transfusion was needed at once. But there was a problem, all the available blood in their blood bank didn’t match mine.
They had to start contacting other hospitals for blood.
I didn’t know what was happening again at that point.
Michael’s blood didn’t match, he was so frustrated about it.
How can a big hospital like this lack blood?
Are you people okay?
If anything happens to my wife, I’m not going to leave any of you alive. Get blood from anywhere and save my girl if you all know what is good for you.
Mom tried to calm him down but he didn't want to listen to anything.
The hospital continued making calls and inquiries.
Mr. Tom, the man who saved Michael came immediately he told him about what was happening.
He asked Michael my blood group and he told him.
He shouted thank God in excitement and told Micheal that his blood matched mine.
What? Michael screamed
They both ran to the doctor’s office within seconds and the doctor checked him to confirm and also ran some other tests.
After the confirmation, Mr. Tom donated blood to me.
However he got a little dizzy after the transfusion, so he was given a bed in the hospital.
Vera came to the hospital that morning, she and Mom took care of the Twins while Micheal was with me.
He held my hands down praying and begging God to restore me.
Well, God heard his prayers because I woke up before Noon.
I wasn’t sure but I wanted to thank Mr. Tom for all he did.
Imagine saving my life, after saving my Angel’s life.
But how did we have the same matching blood by the way? God is wonderful in making coincidences.
I was later discharged, though I was still under observations. It took some weeks before I could stand in my feet again.
One certain afternoon, Micheal and I were talking about how God has used Mr.Tom so greatly.
God bless him”, I said…
I wish he never lost his precious daughter.
I was still talking to Michael when I suddenly saw him on one knee with a Raw Gold Ring.
I thought I was dreaming or something.
He was proposing.
Before he could even say a word I shouted YES, YES! I will marry you, my Angel.
Everyone shouted in happiness, I didn’t even notice when they came inside.
Michael was so excited as he gave me the ring.
We embraced tightly, and it was the most memorable hug of my life.
As he tried to plant a kiss on my lips, I saw Mommy Siri enter through the front door.
Wait, what??
