Rule for Freedom

Chapter 23

I never thought that it will end like this. I thought I handled everything well but in the end someone precious died because of me.

"Papa!!" I screamed loudly as tears fell hard from my face. My heart broke as I held my dead father in my hands.

I looked around and saw the man who hit my father running to us. He looked at us nervously.

"Please help him!" I shouted and he stared at me and nodded.

"I'm sorry!....I didn't mean to do this.... I just-" I stood up and grabbed his polo shirt while tears fell hard through my face.

"Just help him please!!! Hurry!" I shouted and he immediately carried papa quickly and carefully.

We rode in his truck and he drove fast to the road. I looked at papa and held his head and hands tightly.

"Please papa just hang in there. Please don't leave!" I said and the truck suddenly stopped.

I looked at the place and we arrived at the hospital. The man hurriedly walked out and called some nurses.

They came back with a emergency bed and they all help each other to carry papa.

"Please be careful!" I said to the nurses and the other female nurse tapped my shoulders.

"We will be baby." She said to comfort me and she helped the others.

I walked up from my seat and followed them inside. They walked very fast and I followed.

When we reached the emergency room they closed it and leave me there.

My feet weakened and I sat at the chair which is beside me.

My head ached as I saw the blood from my hands. My fathers blood stained on my whole clothes.

I put my hands to my face to cover my swollen eyes and to resist every drop of tears falling.

But I can't stop crying because it hurts so bad...

I felt my heart getting shattered at every moment I think of what happened to papa.

My head hurts and my body aches as the moment past by. All I can do right now is pray to the Lord that He has to give him a chance to live.

Give him the chance to stay with us. To laugh and cherish every moment. To be complete as a family.

A hand pat me on my shoulders and I saw the doctor in front of me.

I stood up quickly. "Doc! Is papa okay? Did you help him!?"

I saw his face saddened and I felt my every part of me shattered into pieces.

"I'm sorry young lady. We've done everything that we can...He is already in peace." He said and I shook my head hard.

"No... Doc please tell me the truth! I know he's still alive! Please doc! He's not gone! Right?? He's not!"

"I'm so sorry I wish he was..." As he said that my mind didn't know how to react anymore.

Now that father is gone completely I don't know what I was gonna do.

If I'm gonna tell mom and Caleb this will give them a very hard time. I just..... I ..... I don't know!!!

"You should call your family...It's not good if you just keep it to yourself." The doctor said and I flinched.
