Susan just got discharged from the hospital after the kidney transplant. She walked stealthily through the surgical room into the north eastern direction. Her family members have been in a long lasting morose state of mind, doubting whether she would make it alive or not after the doctors assured them that the surgery is fifty-fifty.

The whole mood changed when a young lady appeared at the door step of the waiting room and she called out "mummy" in a very thin low pitched voice. Mrs Wilson turned back to see who called only for her to see her thin Susan. Susan! Susan! Susan! She called out. All the family members gave an eastern look to see whether it was truly Susan. Mrs Wilson scurried and ran at the same time to hug her daughter but on her way, she slipped as she didn't see the splashed water in her front, this made her fell down after a series of body movements she tried to use in order to get herself back to her normal position. Mummy! mummy! Susan cried out. The family members tried their best to get her back while slipped but all resulted in a futile cycle as she already hit her head on the ground. The hospital became very noisy as all the nurses got disturbed, other recently discharged patients rushed to the scene alongside with the nurses to get her up as she require an immediate medical attention because she has already fainted. Go back, go back, nurse Kirby shouted at Susan. David went to Susan and hug her so that she can stop crying. Mr keyton also encouraged her that everything is going to be fine.

Samson rushed into the hospital to see his uncle(Mr Keyton) who just got discharged after a serious ailment which made him spent 6 month in the hospital, he was happy when he got a phone call from Dr Billmouth. He rushed into the hospital, roughly dressed with his shirt opened at the chest region, he forgot to zip up his trouser, his belt wasn't tightened enough so his trousers were pulling off, you need to see the joy on his face.

When he barged in through the second door of the waiting room, the whole room became quiet as all eyes were on him, he made several 360 degree turns of his eyeballs but later noticed his uncle at angle 45 degree. Uncle!!! He shouted in his gruffy voice, he ran towards him and hug him. I have missed you, Samson said. I miss you too son(uncle keyton replied). I am happy my chess mate is now hale and healthy and I hope you don't forget where we stopped. How do you mean(uncle asked). I was beating you 3 wins to 1 before the devil ignited his dumb shit(Samson replied). Ohh, yea. Do you think that will ever repeat itself? Okay, let us quickly go home, I have a surprise for you. ( Uncle keyton looked at Susan and pitied her so he felt that him and Samson should wait a little to see where things will result into). Samson, I want us to wait for someone. Who is that? It is Mrs Wilson, the mother of the lady over there (he pointed at Susan), she slipped while rushing towards her daughter who just got discharged after she went through a kidney transplant surgical operation, her head hits the ground and she went unconscious immediately. Ouchh!! That is too bad, samson replied. Yea, so I want us to wait so that we know the situation of things before we leave. Okay, uncle that is not a problem. Samson pulled up his trousers again as the belt is not really working ( It was his uncle's belt,he didn't notice while rushing). They sat down and after some minutes, samson went to meet Susan in order to cheer her up. Hello, i'm Samson. Ohh, I am Susan. I don't want you to worry too much because your mum will be fine, I assure you that. I have noticed the way you were shivering for about an hour now and I think this is not good for your health. Okay, thank you. He sat beside her, unknown to him that his zip is still opened. Samson, can you pls do me a favour? What is that? Zip up. Ohh ohhh what the heck? I am really sorry you have to see that, it wasn't my intention. I am really sorry , pls forgive me. No problem, it has been left open for over an hour now. I am sorry once again( David entered after he went out to get Susan something to eat). Susan, I got you this, I know this is your favourite drink and snacks. Thank you. Who is he? ( David asked ). A friend, she replied. He came to check on his uncle who just got discharged, his uncle later told him about my mum's health condition and they decided to stay. Ohhh okay( David replied with a mockery gesture ).

Aunty Monica has been there while the whole incident happened. She has been calling Dr Wilson(Susan's dad) but he is not picking his calls. Susan, your dad is not picking, i have called him more than fifty times now. I know he won't pick his calls, he is probably with one of his concubines, it is better you don't call him again because he won't pick except you don't have any other important thing you want to do with your life. Susan, you don't talk to your dad like that,you should respect him( Aunty Monica replied). What is the essence of having a father who doesn't care and all he does is to beat up my mum like a stubborn goat. I think sometimes, it is better to be without a father because a father could mean hell to his family sometimes ( tears started flowing out of her eyes). My mum has shown him so much love but the only thing he does in return is to beat her up. Susan, it is okay, stop crying.( Samson trying to console her). Samson brought out his handkerchief likewise David (Coincidental) but Susan is confused on the one to use. The two guys later clean each half of her face. Samson cleaned the left half while David cleaned the right half. Uncle Keyton cleared his throat( Samson knew what he meant by that voiced sign). Thank you Samson.

After some minutes, a dwarf called Badmus walked in. Badmus , how are you( Aunty Monica greeted him). I am fine and how is the recipient doing? She is fine, she just got discharged today. Ohh, that is great? So, where is she ? She is there( Aunty Monica pointed at Susan). Susan, this is the donor of the kidney. Ohh, thank you sir for your.... ( Doctor Hillman scurried in and asked), who are the relatives of Mrs Wilson . Susan stood up alongside with Monica likewise Mr Keyton and Samson, he said " she has been stabilized and will be discharged tomorrow ". I have to be on my way now, Samson told Susan. Okay, bye.

( Samson and his uncle continued chit chatting as they went into their smoke emitting old Peugeot car, Samson sat at the drivers side, turned on the tape increasing it to the highest volume playing one of the live performance of King Sunny Ade especially in Rockpalast in Germany).
