HOSPITAL
Aimscious stood beside her mother's bed quietly as she watched her sleep soundly.
Why this sudden tragedies? she thought to herself
First I was attacked at school and then this fire outbreak. What is going on? Something is not right.
Or what Betty said about Lilia was true because I haven't set eyes on her after the incident.
No, No, Aims , don't think bad about Lilia. she is your best friend since childhood , she can never hurt you. Maybe because of her trip, she was not able to pass by to bid me farewell.
I will get to the root of this and get justice for my family.
Miss. Aimscious....? , a voice behind interrupted.
Yes...., she responded.
The doctor wants to see you, the nurse uttered.
okay, I will be there in a minute, She replied.
The nurse left. She turned and looked at her mum with a distressed face and sighed.
Will be right back mum
She patted her hand and left the ward.
DOCTOR'S OFFICE
knock ... , Knock....
Yes....., come in.
A voice called from the room. She opened the door slowly and stepped in.
Miss. Aimscious..... please sit down.
The doctor urged her and gave her a sit in front of him.
A nurse told me that you wanted to see me.
She expressed.
Yes, I want to update you on your mother's health so we can see the way forward and measures to take.
The doctor replied.
OK doctor , am all ears. she responded.
Your mother is fine now and she will be discharged very soon but there is another development. Due to the shock and pressure she experienced, It has affected her heart.
What....? how can this be .....? she cried with a distressed voice.
Don't worry, we will put her on medication and diet. She will be fine .
The doctor assured. She thanked the doctor and left the office worried and confused.
THREE MONTHS LATER
Sofia and her daughter moved to the country side . With the help of Mart, they were able to rise money for a small hut in which they stayed.
Although she suffered a severe heart condition after the shock, she managed to fend for her daughter by selling vegetables in the market.
Aimscious....! You are getting late for school , Come down now. I have to get to the market early. Sofia exclaimed.
She rushed down to her mother and hugged her.
Thank you mum for not giving up on my education.
Sofia smiled and kissed her forehead.
I will make sure you continue your education till my death. She exclaimed.
Don't say that mum......? Stop pronouncing death for yourself. Aimscious fumed.
OK, OK, I won't say that again but can you pass by the market after school and help me with the sales? Sofia asked.
Sure mum, see you later. love you....
She smiled dashing out of the house.
Love you too honey, Sofia replied
Just as she stepped on the street, she saw Mart coming towards their hut.
Hey, Aimscious..... , he called with a smile running towards her.
Hi , Mart..... , she uttered.
How are you ? he asked .
Am fine ,how come you are here?
was coming to your place to check if you are ready for school so we go together but since I've met you here, let's go then. We are getting late.
AUSTRALIA
LILIA' S ROOM
Lilia sat on her bed with a moody and confused look, deep in thoughts.
Was not able to get her out of Mart's life before leaving to this country. How am I going to deal with her now . I need a plan.
She stood up, tapping her feet on the floor restlessly. Moving to and fro in the room.
Yes.......!
She shouted and gave a broad smile. She took her phone from the bed to make a call.
Buzz...... , buzzzz..... , buzzz..
Hello.....
a voice answered from the other end of the phone.
yes...., Vicky, how are you.
Am good Lilia......., its been a while. This one that you called this early, is everything OK?
Vicky asked a bit surprised.
Yes.. Vic, all is well. I just need you to do something for me.
OK , Li, what is it? spill it out, am getting late for class.
I need you to keep an eye on Aimscious and Mart for me. Make sure you make her life miserable.
You have no problem with that. Be rest assured.
They both laughed and hugged up.
You can never escape from me Aims. I will make sure I make your life a living hell.
Lilia vowed and laughed.
