Time for a change

Chapter 4

Joseph was completely shattered from the inside and outside. He looked completely as a mess; black circles were clearly visible under his eyes, his eyes were red and puffy, his brown hair was all over his face because of running his hand through his face a million times and not to mention his clothes, the shirt was half tucked in his pants and he was a perfect definition of mess right now. But it wasn't his fault to look this way, he was broken and when I say broken it means completely broken. He was trying to tell himself that it's all a dream and he would come out of it eventually but nothing was favouring him today, everything was not a dream it's a damn reality, a very sad and heartbreaking one indeed. He recalled everything the doctor told him and what he saw as well.

* Flashback *

Back at the hospital......

The doctor took a deep breath and gave Joseph a weak smile and said,"Congratulations, young man! Your wife has gave birth to a baby girl." As soon as those words left the doctor's mouth, Joseph had mixed emotions after he heard what the doctor said but before could say anything the doctor continued, " But there is a bad news, " for some odd reason Joseph was really nervous because he knew the bad news is somehow related to his wife, Wendy. Joseph gave the doctor a slight nod indicating him to continue. The doctor took a deep breath and put a hand on Joseph's shoulder and said, " I'm sorry but I couldn't save your wife. She died right after she gave birth to the baby girl. I'm sorry! She is no more. Please be strong! " When the words hit Joseph he shoved away the doctor's hand away and shouted, " TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING! TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE! " The doctor gave him a weak smile and said, " Please calm down and be strong for your daughter. If you would like to see your wife for the last time you can go inside. " And when Joseph heard the word " daughter " he felt anger and hatred. He hated his daughter before even laid his eyes on the small little angle. He hated her because she took away his wife. He hated her even more than his own father after what he did to his mother. He didn't wanted to accept the girl who is his so-called daughter. He pushed those thoughts away and rushed to the room where his wife dead body was lying on one of the hospital beds completely lifeless. When he reached to the door which will lead him to his dead wife, he never felt so scared or nervous ever before in his life. With shaking hands he held the handle of the door and with a deep breath, he pushed open the door and there laid his wife completely lifeless. His heart was broken seeing his wife in such a condition, she never looked so pale. He took slow steps towards his wife his entire body was shaking with nervousness. When he reached his wife, he lifted up his hand and touched his wife face and she was cold. He just broke down at that moment, he held his wife hand in one of his, which were perfectly fitted in his ones. He cried his heart out, but never let go his wife's hand and just cried thinking that it's his last time holding her hand and the last time he would see her in-front of him. After what seems like 30 minutes the doctor came in and told Joseph it was time he leave his wife, Wendy. He just nodded at him and for the last time he kissed his wife's cheeks and forehead and hugged her tight and said his goodbye. Then the nurses took away Wendy's body to another room where the other dead bodies are putted. The doctor then brought a baby in his hands towards Joseph and told him, " Joseph, this is your daughter. " The doctor reached out the baby and tried to give it to Joseph but Joseph turned his back to them and now his back was facing them.
