750 Words
“Daaaaad” I screamed and made for his room.
I opened the door and got in before the butler could get me .
“Dad? I said why rushing to his bed only to see the doctor covering his body with a white cloth.
“ Time of death 3:40”. The doctor said to the nurse who immediately jotted it down on her note.
“ time of death?. I said with confusion written all over my face.
“ what are you saying? My dad is not dead, he said that he will soon be well and we will go home to celebrate my birthday”.
“ Miss Sam am sorry that fate made you experience this at your tender age but what can we do. No one has the power to dictate what will happen in the future. But don’t worry everything will be fine., you have to be strong and make you dad proud even though he is not here”.
“ is m.m.my my d.dad dead?.i asked the doctor who was busy talking about fate.
“ yes he is dead, he had a heart attack that led to his demise. He said sorrowfully.
“ dad is it true? I asked my dad why going up to his bed and started patting him.
“ the doctor said you are dead but I don’t believe him because you gave me a pinky promise that you will get well soon and celebrate my birthday with me right?.
“ dad? Can you wake up and prove them wrong, wake and see the ugly nurse that pushed me out of your room she is shedding crocodile tears.
“Dad please wake up mom will be mad if you wake up late. You know she doesn’t want you to be late for work.
“ dad can you hear me?
“ he doesn’t want to wake anymore. I said while turning to the doctor.
“ does he hate me ?
“ no sam he doesn’t hate you.”
“ why is he not waking up? He hates me now. You made him to hate me right? That’s why he wouldn’t wake when I asked him to wake up.
“ dad please don’t be dead. I promise that I will be a good girl, I will take care of mom and make you proud can you please wake up for your princess? Have you forgotten my birthday is tomorrow?
I started crying when he wouldn’t wake up.
“ dad please am sorry. Wake up please I beg of you in the name of God please wake up.
“ he is happy where he is now and wish the same for you. Stop crying your dad wouldn’t be happy if he sees you crying. The doctor tried consoling me.
“ please can you take her out? He asked that ugly nurse.
“ yes sir” she replied.
That was when the reality dawned on me that I was now fatherless.
I started bawling out my eyes screaming and trying to destroy anything that comes my way.
“ leave me aloooone! I screeched at the nurse when she tried to hold me.
I ran up to the doctor and started dragging his cloth.
“You killed him.
You killed my dad”
“You killed him with that iron. I knew it that you were up to no good when you placed that iron on his chest”. I said while still dragging his cloth.
“ why did you kill him? What wrong has he done to warrant this?.
“ you are wicked and you would pay for this. I started hitting my fist on his body.
When suddenly my butler came and dragged me away from the room.
“ you are with them aren’t you? I fired at the butler.
“you let them kill my dad didn’t you?
“You told me he will be fine didn’t you?
“ he was fine when I left him but immediately you entered his room he became dead”.
“ what did he do?”
“ answer me, what did he do? I yelled when he refused to answer me.
“Aish! I yelled when I felt a needle prick my neck. I became dizzy and started started losing consciousness.
“Why are you doing this with them? I asked the butler when my vision became blurred.
“ you will pay for this”.I said.
I suddenly became limp and blanked out.
