With You By My Side

Fate

CHAPTER:03

Mummy! I slowly called her

Nina, you’re awake! My mother said robbing my palm.

Can you talk??

Just calm down Nina, steady!! Easy!!

I need water!

You can’t take water, just rest you’ll be fine, your father and brother are coming.. they’re bringing your toys for you to play with.. stay with mummy,

Where’s he? I asked with a faint tone

Who? My mother responded

He pushed me mum..

They left before you opened your eyes

They left? Is he fine now?

I don’t know, he may not be able to survive it.. he’s badly wounded.. he saved your life putting his own life at risk, he doesn’t know the meaning of what he did, he wanted to be a hero ?‍♀️

How did you know he will not survive it? I asked

I heard the doctors say it

Your father is here..

Nina my child.. I was soo scared, I thought i had lost you when your mother called me.. can you talk?

A little

Tell us what happend..

Precious pushed me, it wasn’t intentional, I don’t know what happened, the next thing I saw was the boy that pushed me, I was confused when precious pushed me, I didn’t know if I should run left or right.. I’m sorry dad ? I didn’t wait for my driver.

Don’t blame yourself, I blame myself for not paying attention to the little things you say.. just be alive for us..

What about the boy? My father asked

His mother refused me from seeing him..

Why?

She’s bitter… her sons case is very critical according to what I heard, I just pray he survives it..

Where’s she? Are they still here?

No, they’ve been transferred to the headquarters.

It’s really serious.. why did he decide to save Nina?

I don’t know, but whatever reason he has for doing it, I am grateful to God, our daughter would have been dead.. my mother said

The doctor came

Nina, you’re awake? How is she doing? The doctors asked my parents

Honestly doctor, I am not happy with what I heard.

What is it Mrs Williams..

You are a doctor and your sole purpose is to save life, why would you and your team leave my daughter for hours without touching her, no treatment nothing, what if she died, she has been here for days before she finally opened her eyes

I’m sorry ma, I was only following due process, when she was brought here, everyone claimed not to know her and no one wanted to deposit money cause it was an emergency case, we needed her vital information and her guardian signature. None was available.

Well, you should be grateful cause the little boy that saved her life saved her again, he saved your daughter twice

How?

He wasn’t alive but he spoke to us and his mother, he asked us to attend to your daughter

Omg ? ?

Yeah, the pressure at which he said it made us do it.

God was speaking through him.. my father said

Can we meet them? Atleast let me know them and thank him

It’s not the right time now, his mother doesn’t want to see you or your family. Her son is yet to be awake. I’ll bring Nina’s result later.. bye.

POV

Dave’s mother arrived at the hospital she was referred to.

She went to the reception and said

Hello, I was asked to bring my son here, with tears in her eyes she said “ please help me, my son is helpless”

Are you Mrs Peter?

Yes

We’ve been expecting you, I’ll make provision now for your son

Minutes later Dave was taken to the orthopedic department,

His case is a critical one.

The orthopedic surgeons (bone doctors) started doing their work, it was more than one hour, from X-ray to fixing of his legs

They successfully arranged everything but Dave will not be able to walk again.

He wasn’t awake till evening when he opened his eyes and saw his mother sobbing and crying

Mum! He called

My baby, how are you?

I don’t know, I think I am okay.. my legs are weak

That’s cause they just finished fixing it

Did I break my legs?

Yeah, you’ll be fine.. I’ve read stories where someone had an accident, got his legs broken and started walking..

Okay! How’s she?

Who?

The girl I pushed

You remember?

I didn’t lose my memory, I remember, is she okay? Is her leg broken too?

No, she’s fine… why did you do it? Why did you put your life at risk?

I don’t know mum, I heard a voice that says “ run to her” so I ran to her

You’re not a superhero Dave, don’t do it again. I am sacred of loosing you.

Why Is there bandage on my legs?

Dave, you’ll be fine, you have bruises everywhere, your clothes were torn.

The doctor came and started to tease him

Dave, the hero, you went to save a girl, is she your girlfriend?

No, I don’t know her, haven’t met her..she was confused, I watched everything, it’s not her fault her friend pushed her

You did a great job, but…. Don’t try it again..

How long are we staying? Mrs Peter asked

Till your son is fine..
