How I lost Him[BLEEDING HEART]

Chapter Twenty - Medical Report

                   A year Ago

Rachel POV
               My light has been turned of the only reason I wanted to live my baby my precious Bright was taking away from me now am left in the dark.
               After he was taken from me I searched almost the whole city I couldn't find him I went far as going to Ortega's house but I heard he doesn't leave there anymore oh my poor baby is he okay, does he even remember me again I hope he is being loved and not maltreated I thought to myself after sometime I gave up the search.
           One faithful morning after cleaning the restaurant I strolled down to Bright's favorite park that's where he likes to go play when we were still together. I sat down my head low thinking about my son I watched as other parent happily played with their children seeing that made my pain increase I was jealous and then I know he is with Ortega but imagine if he had a complete family me, him and Andy it would have been great.
           I decided to go back to work my time off was over I stood up but something caught my eyes my heart stopped for a moment I saw Ortega coming out from a black Range Rover and a stroller, he sat on the brown bench and took the child out of the stroller I almost screamed when I saw Bright he looked more big for a one year and ten months child he looked well fed and wore designer cloths.
      I watched as him and Ortega played around the park and he called him "dada" omg he looks so happy so happy without me that's not fair I know I sound insane but I was jealous I guess he doesn't remember me anymore. So since that day I got to know the particular time they always come here and the days it's mostly on Friday's and Sunday's 2 or 4 PM and any day I come and don't see them it's like my heart shattered in a thousand pieces .
            There where times when Ortega turns his back to get something in the car I would use the opportunity to get close to my son honestly he would smile at me but it's obvious he doesn't remember me I knew he wouldn't. What a foolish Ortega doesn't he know he is supposed to keep his eyes on a child every damn second cause anything could happen just like I am with him what if I was a kidnapper , my eyes widened as I got an idea I know don't look at me like that am not crazy it's just i love my son so much I got this idea to kidnap my son and run away yes that's what I would do.

On a Friday evening I stole up too 100,000 thousand Naira from the restaurant I packed up some clothes and food for me and my son I know it's crazy but I was so happy finally I would be with my son. After packing I went to the park once again Ortega foolishly left him on the bench to get something I used that opportunity to take Bright away surprisingly he didn't scream he was just giggling and playing with my hair besides from time to time I always come to play with him without looking back I ran like I have never ran in all my life.
       I was with my son for two days in a hotel surprisingly he didn't cry it was like he was used to me or was it the bond between mother and child well I don't know but am happy, I was eating when the door was forcefully opened I was shocked when I saw a angry Ortega and some police officer and that social worker that lady that held Bright at the court that time.
            I never knew that the necklace that Bright wore has a tracking device on it , we were taken to court I was given a restraint order and because of Ortega's carelessness Bright was taken away and would be in custody for one month to watch Ortega and how capable he can be to protect his son.
          I cried knowing my child would be taken away I know I hate Ortega but seeing my child taken to the system hurt the more , I thought that was all until I was arrested for stealing 100,000 from the restaurant actually I know I did wrong and had no excuse, at first Uche told me he wouldn't let me go to cell if I slept with him but I refused he is so disgusting I can't believe till now he thinks I would ever let him touch me what a fool. So I was arrested I slept in the cell for two days I also returned the money back I lost my job at the restaurant I was also chased out so I had no place to stay.
        Well after a month I heard that Bright was brought home he is now with Ortega.
                  I was about committing suicide on a rooftop when I was saved by a reverend sister at a Catholic Church I went for confession and I was taken in yes I was not a nun but they took me in i was their chef . I also got to know more about God I found out God loves me at first I thought he didn't cause if he did my life won't be like this but he died for me he set me free he is merciful that all my sins are forgiven he also helped me with my depression and loneliness with God I found a new hope knowing that when I die I will find happiness and peace also my wealth and treasures and my mansion in heaven I will seat at the right hand side of God for he is my husband and father I found light again, Unto him I came , Unto him shall I return.

                       Two years later
Rachel POV
              Recently I get tired of any little thing and I faint a lot , all the sisters prayed for me and my personal mentor sister Rebecca the woman who helped me and stopped me from killing my self she advised me to go to the hospital I was so happy they contributed money up too 150,000 thousand for me to go and do a scan I just love the cooperation and love we have in this church.

Hospital
              I sat down facing the doctor after taking the scan yesterday today I would see the result, he stared at me in pity i was wandering why he stared at me like that or was it the fact because I looked so thin and pale.
"How are you feeling Mrs Rachel?
"Um just dizzy , weak and having unstoppable headache
"It's obviously the symptoms
"What do you mean doctor?
"Hmm, he sign , I don't know how to say this
"What is it doctor ? say it anyhow you can cause you are scaring me already, I question him with tears in my eyes
"Please don't take this to hard, but you have cancer of the brain like a brain tumor
"Oh my goodness, I screamed out and I was in full mode of crying, I don't want to die cause now I just found my light
"Am sorry , but you don't have much time left
"Like how ?.... I mean how much time do you think?
"Just few months that's what you have
"That's a lie I can't die now Jesus will save me he is the giver of life he owns my soul so only him have the right to take me home he is also a healer he will heal my sickness , I screamed out at him
"Please calm down I understand your pain , I pray and hope that your Jesus Saves you
"Don't talk about him like that he is our savior
"I hope your faith Carries you, please take heart and meet all the people you have to meet you can forgive, help , spend money just do anything you know you have to do
"Am sorry thank doctor
"No need , I can just give you medication but there is no need to do that or to do surgery or to the chemotherapy it won't work you are at the last stage and the tumor is in a dangerous position just take care.
