Pacing front and back in his living room with a heavy breath. He sat down on his rolling chair and swung himself around.

He stopped but his finger kept bouncing with trembling on the table.

The trouble on his shoulder was something he couldn't tell anyone around him.

Glancing down at the big black bag beside him, he looked away and let out a deep breath, then rolled his chair back at it.

"What should I do?" he said to himself.

His breathing was ticking along with the clock on the wall.

His heart was racing so fast it might bust any minute now.

His palms were sweaty even though the air conditioner was on.

Wiping his forehead with the back of his hand, he bent down and opened the bag. The scent of the newly noted dollars penetrates through his nose.

He slightly closed his eyes as he sat up straight, "Never will I get tired of this scent." and rested his back on the chair,
   "What do I do now? Time is ticking and it moving fast. Am running out of time!"

He held her hand tightly with both of his hands, "I'm trying Mama." holding back his tears, "Please hang in there. Am going to do all I can to make sure you get better."

"Mr Daniel?"

He looked up at the man wearing a blue shirt with a stethoscope around his neck, walking towards him.

"Yes, doctor."

The doctor stood beside him, glanced at his mother, and said to him, "Can I talk to you outside?"

He nodded, and slowly placed his mother's hand on her chest, then removed his gently, before standing up and following the doctor.

"Doctor, what going on? Why is she not waking up?" he asked worried as soon as he closed the door behind him.

"Mr Daniel, there's only little we can do without money... Your mother's condition is very crucial. We need to go on with the operation in less than 48 hours..."

"48 hours???" His eyes widened. "That's 2 days? What will happen if we don't?!"

"I'm sorry, but she doesn't have much time. She's fighting for her life at this moment.     
     ....Please get the money." he said straight.

"Where do you want me to get two million from in two days!!!" He shouted, before he realized where he was and closed his eyes to control himself then breathed out slowly and wiped down his face with both hands.
   
"Please doctor," he took his hand with both of his, "you've got to help me, am begging you! Do all you can, I will find a way to pay you."

"Mr. Daniel," he placed his other hand on Daniel's. "I wish I could help, but this is not my hospital. My hands are tied." Removing his both hands, he added, "Please get that money. I need to attend to another patient.
     ...Please excuse me."
