Michael patrolled until the doctor was out of the room. He ran towards the doctor and stared at the doctor with a look that says " give me info doc"
    His breath becoming hotter by the second and the rate of his heart beat increasing by half a second.
He stared anticipating what the doctor will say. At that point, there was a little war inside of him. Was his mother okay?, was she gone?, was she going to be fine?.
Just in that short interval of time --between when he got to the doctor and when the doctor spoke, was unimaginably tensed. He watched the doctor as he opened his mouth and said
    "She is........"
Michael who was so tense cut him off.
" wait. Let me brace my self"
He took a deep breath
" please do continue "
he said with his blood pressure increasing.
   " she is fine "
" phew" Michael sent out air he didn't recognise he had been holding. He felt a calm current run through his body as he went like a pregnant woman in labour, to take a seat -- except he didn't have his face all twisted and wasn't actually in body pain.
  " but,we can only take two weeks son two weeks or she's gone."
" two weeks!!" He exclaimed with a firm but low tune.
" So you are saying ,In two weeks I should raise three million francs." 
" yes "
" are you crazy,where on earth I'm I going to get that kind of money I don't have a job and I have only been able to raise a  hundred thousand francs. You told me a month."
" I know. But the tumor is growing twice as fast than normal. So in two weeks son. Or we loose her"
The doctor  said, and went on his way patting Michael on the back.
      Michael dropped his face in his  hands. Not knowing what he should think. He was devastated.
  He took a depressed walk out of the hospital. Paying no attention to what was happening around him.
  He went on and took his bike to the mechanic. At the mechanic shop, After giving him a long explanation on what was wrong with his bike, which he understood nothing about he was asked to pay fifty thousand, to do the repairs.
   " what!, are you crazy?. For what am I paying that kind of money?"
  " I just told you sir. The engine has a mechanical... "
He cut him off.
"What ever. Just keep the damn bike"  he said arrogantly and irritated as he motioned to leave but gave a quick turn.
  " you know what, just.... I'll take the bike "
"It's risky you might have an accident riding this...."he cut him off
  " bike. Which is none of your business "
He takes the bike and rides home.
   Michael's day was pretty awkward and there was nothing he could do about it.
Nevertheless, his bike was good enough to take him to his home and then the appointment with Nathan.
     Nathan on the other hand had life going pretty well but that doesn't mean that there are no challenges. Nathan sat in his office, taking some coffee
     "Sir there is a young man here by name Michael...."
Nathan cut her off
  "Mina, he is on the appointment list. Let him in"
" sure sir."

Michael entered the office saluting Nathan. After that he had settled down, Nathan took the next two minutes staring at him eyeball to eyeball. Until Michael shrug.
  " I could leave ..."
" shhhhh"
Michael was becoming uncomfortable. He moved his head away.
    " confidence is always needed."
  Nathan said as he motioned to take another sip of his coffee.
" what?"
Michael asked confused.

" what should I help you with ?"
    " I have a music career and it's not moving. So I wanted help."
" why is it not working ?"
" I don't know "
" look a first step is, you need to start asking questions. Answers hide from everything but questions. "
  " look I just want to increase in skills  that's it"
" you think that's all you need to  excel in music ?"
" I guess."
   
  " pardon me son. Are you a Christian? "
" ummm I go to church a few times and I do good.. So I guess I'd say I am. I am a Christian "
  " going to church and doing good doesn't mean you are a Christian.  A lot  of folks do good but doesn't make them Christian. The word Christian means 'like Christ ' you have got to live like Christ to be a Christian. You've got to have intimacy with God  you need Jesus personally. Make him personal not general. Quick question. Would you like to excite people or impact people?"
  " impact is more like it. Yeah impact people"
" well the first step to long lasting ,none ageing, positive,life changing generational impact and blessings to people and you is Jesus.  Son you need Jesus. You need grace to help you, you need His joy, his peace you need him to pilot the plane of your life. It doesn't matter how much wrongs you've done, he still loves you. He is the only person that is  going to help. He is going to get you to heaven and not only that, you are going to enjoy life here on earth. Oh his love is so wonderful. Like in John 3:16"
  Nathan just kept telling  Michael about the love of God and the cross, the nails through his palms, how it could have been him but Jesus loved him so much that he took his place  Michael could not help it but to start crying.
  Michael was surprised. He had never thought about it that way.
He kind of saw it from a new perspective that was wonderful.
Nathan told Michael on how Jesus was coming soon and then the question Nathan asked lastly
  " won't you like that on that last day Jesus would look at you and say you are my beloved son I am pleased with you?"
      Michael was overwhelmed that he too began to cry.  They both said a prayer and Michael was now in God.
