"you have to stay with me, stay with me". She kept on tapping his face while his eyes slowly closed with a smile on his face.
"Just take care of yourself okay. Always remember that I love you so so much". He coughed at the end of his statement.
"No no no..... You have to keep your eyes open. Stop closing them. Stay with me." Her voice broke at the end
"I'm here with you". He replied her with all the strength he could mutter. They were currently inside the ambulance that's rushing to take them to the hospital. Her head is pounding so much but that is the least of her problem, her husband has been shot on his chest and she's seen how the blood kept pouring out. He can't die and leave her, he promised her.
They soon got to the hospital and a stretcher was brought and he was wheeled to the emergency with her hot on their tails, just as she was about to enter a nurse stopped her.
"I'm sorry ma'am but you have to remain outside". She didn't argue, she didn't even have the strength too. She fell on a chair and buried her face and her palm as she cried some more.
She didn't know for how long she stayed in that position but she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She rose her head and her vision blurred with another set of unshed tears. It was Asmau. She didn't bother looking at the rest as Asmau sat and hugged her. She hugged her back and cried more ugly tears. No one said a word as everybody was lost in their own thoughts.
Six agonizing hours later the door to the ICU opened she was quick to get on her feet running towards the doctor that came out. The others followed suit.
The doctor removed his face mask dropping in the bin before turning to look at the worried faces of the family members.
"What..... docto......is...is...." She couldn't form correct words and the doctor understood. He saved her the stress of having to ask.
"I'm sorry but......" She didn't need to hear the rest before her limbs gave out on her, her vision blurring as she slipped out of consciousness.

Her eyes opened slightly trying to adjust to the bright light of the room, she looked around slowly taking in her environment and when her eyes landed on the IV fluid connected to her hand she jerked up remembering why she was here in the first place.
"Take it easy. Why did you jump up like that". Asmau said to her but the said person paid no heed to her she was attempting to remove the drip and get down from the bed. Her eyes already glistening with tears.
Asmau rushed and held her hand. "You can't do that. You're unwell and need the rest, stop working your self up". Again she ignored her trying to break herself free and go to her husband. Her action only annoyed Asmau and she didn't know when she shouted.
"WILL YOU STOP THAT, You're pregnant for goodness sake".
The lady on the bed froze, turning almost robotically to look at Asmau whose features has softened at the look on her face.
"You said what?". She asked lowly but Asmau heard her. She sat close to her on the bed taking her hand and gave her a small almost invisible smile then she nodded.
"Yes....you are pregnant. The doctor confirmed it and all the stress was what made you pass out."
Her eyes filled with tears, was she supposed to be happy by this news when her husband has died.
"And......."Asma knew what she was going to ask so she helped her.
"He's fine. He's just still unconscious".
Her eyes dilated at what Asmau said. How is that possible when the doctor......
"How is that possible". She finally found her voice. " And where are the others. Are they all fine". She added.
