Letters To The Ones We Love The Most

END OF FLASHBACK:(NASREEN'S POV PART 2)

Yakubu Gowon General Hospital:

An hour has already gone since Yasmeen was taken to the hospital ward. Mom was eagerly waiting for the doctor's report

Excuse me .....Doctor...Doctor, Uncle Khaseem said approaching the doctor from the room she came out from.Everyone stood up waiting to hear from the doctor

I need to speak with the father of the child. Are you the father? She asked him

Errmmm ..yes ..yes I'm He said earning a scornful look from his mother and amazed look from others.

I was holding tight unto mom's shoulder .She was at the verge of breaking down any moment.

Musa please take Mom ,home we'll be home any moment from now. Mom said

Ok...He said

I'm not going not until i hear from the doctor what's wrong with Yasmeen

Mom.......

Laura please let me be she said worriedly

Mom sighed .I could feel her muscles tensing up as every moment passes

................
Your daughter's condition is very critical at this .The doctor said pausing to see his reaction before going on

She's a fighter , she's at her critical stage all she needs is alot of attention and affection She said looking straight into my arms

Here she said handing him a white paper with a funny looking handwriting scribbled on it

i wrote some antibiotics which you can get from the pharmacy outside and also an inhaler she should use quite often .Please keep her on a close watch and strictly make sure she takes her medicine .About 150 children in less than 3 months are brought on severe health issues similar to your daughter and that's the issue with people! out of the 150 about a 107 get lost in our attempt to save lives .As a doctor and a mother i wouldn't wish to be holding lost souls i rather save them with all my might.I really hope you make good use of what I'm saying.

Yes doctor . Thank you so much He said standing up to leave

You may all go see her now I'll be right at your back to inform the others she said rearranging some files on her desk

I quickly walked past them making my way towards the pharmacy  letting the doctor handle their questions

You! Where are you going to again? mom said  blocking my way starting to get me all annoyed again.I looked up at that Dad giving him a  tired pleading look to help me out

Lubabatu come sit,please let's talk things out Dad said placing his hand on her shoulder and accompanning her back to her seat..

Wait! I'm not done talking to my son mom said removing dad's hand from her shoulder

Khaseem ..... She said as i choose to ignore her
Khaseeem.....she repeated continuously as
she said walking fast towards my direction again

Kha....she turned me  making me face her as she slaps me hard across the face. Making everyone gasps including me ,I didn't see that coming at all. I witness mom's eyes go wide in shock .That look of " i didn't expect that at all".

Have you gone nuts? How dare you ignore me when I'm calling you. This child isn't yours ,yet you're here stressing your energy out for a child that isn't yours .Are you even okay at all???.Is this a new madness or hypnotization i can't seem to understand . Who works this hard for a child that isn't his

Lubabatu! Dad shouts earning more looks from the passerbys in the hospital,people started eavesdropping out of their ward rooms and gossiping as well

I'll go talk to her Grandma made an attempt ......
