The Ten Commandments V. 01

Commandment No. 3 (Jan. 10, 2017)

3. Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.

The story below:

A car hit a by-passer on the sidewalks and flies like a tossed shoe in the air.

"Oh! My God!”, "Oh! Christ!”, "Oh! Poor lady," People screamed as they seen what happened next when the car was about to pullback and trying to escape from the accident.

"Hey!" One man tries to call for an attention before the car be gone.

"Oh Jesus, the woman might broke her hips bone!" An old woman commented while most of them murmurings of different comments for the poor woman.

They are there just witnessing the accident and no one tries to touch her. They are waiting for help from the license medic to check her up.

While on the other side of it are people trying to push the person behind the steering wheels - who's the one accidentally crushed and hit the woman - to step out of the car.

And the man keeps himself inside because of what he is seeing, rage of anger from people outside. All he can do is watch them from inside and feel afraid of not to make another mistake just like this people saying to him, "killer".

"You killer! Get out of that car." Over and over he can hear them cursing him of his mistakes.

He covers his head and ears just to reduce their voices. He peek for one last time and he saw that someone in view was trying to break the windshield of his car but someone's hand restrained the metal bar. He cannot see who apprehend it. All he knows is that everyone outside stops and look behind them.

He is now hearing the sound of ambulance as rescue. "Oh! Thank God, thank you." He said with all his gratefulness to the lord as his savior at this moment in this tragic day he has done wrong.

He still inside and waiting for signals for anyone out there to order him to move out for talk, while waiting the ambulance took the unconscious woman and held place carefully inside the vehicle. She was checked and given respective care. Police also in the scene, and already doing their first steps of investigation,

They knocked the window of the car of the man and ask for his condition.

"You okay, Mr.?" The officer asks.

"I'm okay sirs." He replied.

"Please come out of the car," request of the policeman.

He stepped out and stand in front of the officer whom is ready to check his physic. He was smelled too to make sure he is not drunk while driving and let him walk in a straight line just to make sure he is fine. All the necessary things were all okay and check.

"Where you from before you hit the woman?" The officer asked.

"I came from work. No other things I've done but work only. I'm only having problem with my sight during the moment I am driving along the major roads. I manage to continue my driving until I didn't notice that I closed my eyes for a short moment. I'm only blinking my eyes for many times when my contacts displace. I am now having trouble seeing and lost the other one, maybe." He explained and pointed his reddish eyes to the officer. The officer take down what he said and look carefully to his one eye.

"Don't you have your kit with you?" asks again by the officer.

"Oh! I have, but I need to check first my eyes for doing that." He explained again and tried to go inside his car but he was hold to do it.

"Mr. no needs to show that. Just ride the police car and let my partner drive your car to the station. You still more to comply before you can go home, and before that, you have obligation with the woman you hit."

The officer guided him to sit inside the police car and his partner takes the car and drives it. They went to the station and continue his pledge for helping the woman in some aspect of help.

After all the necessary things he was free. He paid his violation and ready to visit the woman in the hospital as promised he said.

Walking in the hallway of the hospital his mind debating for mistakes and for saying sorry to the woman, He hold a step and wait for a while. He looked at his watch and feels sorry for his losing time. He had a date to attend but he is here doing the citizen concerns he just noted as promised on the police logbook.

"Just do it. It is your fault and negligence." He said convincing his self. He walks again and looks at the room numbers. "You're too eager to meet your date yet you never commit for real." A little confession he said, murmuring.

When he found the number 143 he holds the doorknob and twists it. He came inside and immediately closes the door. A few steps he came forward and looks at the woman.

His eyes widen the moment he saw who’s the woman he hit on the road side. Immediately he sat on the bed and takes the hand of the woman and gulps a lot of saliva before he speaks.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I'm sorry. Can you hear me?" He said with his entire sincere apology. He held the woman's hand to his cheek and feels it for a moment.

The hand move a little.

He looked again and saw the open eyes of the woman with lots of confusion in his presence.

"Who are you?" The woman asked.

He stunned in surprise. He's holding her hand and caressing momentarily but suddenly stops.

"I'm your son!" He said with his entire claim.

"No. That cannot be. Neither I never been married nor having children of mine." The woman answered while staring at her visitor.

"Impossible. You're my mother. I accidentally hit you by my car and was brought here to give you medication if there is something... more than the bone fractures you acquired in the accident." He explained and the woman recalls it and nodded for an answer.

"I know what happened to me. I have broken leg and scratches but not mental delusional. They didn't inject me any kind of medicine, just one dose and I heard it." The woman replied. She looked at her bruises and leg which is now cast.

"My God, This can't be happening! I know my mother has no twin. I know my parents sides. I know all my uncles and aunts names and their sons and daughters. I have my family tree correct and this is not going to be a frank." He stands up and moves backwards and trying to investigate some corners and under of the bed if he is being played by people he loved.

"Hey, son, don't waste looking for anything you're thinking. I'm sure of my life too. And thank you for being here and telling me what you have done. I accept your apology. You have no more obligations with me. I am letting you free. The hospital can take care of me and I have my own life plan if ever it is needed."

"No, I will not leave you. I know you're my mother. I'll stay here. I just need to wake up if it is just a dream or something." He kneeled and put together his palm. He closed his eyes. "Oh God, what I have done with her to forget me just like this. I know she's my mother but she keeps telling me that she's not." He prayed with all his heart to understand everything.
