My Fathers Death

I woke up early in the morning and prepared for work.

Mr. Fred took me to the office and my manager asked me to handle something for him.

The work was too much that i stayed in the office until evening and as i was trying to round up for the day, my uncle came in and asked me go round up let us go home.

I told him, that was what i am trying to do and he asked me to hurry up.

I tried my best to be fast and i carried my little bag and entered the truck with Mr. Fred and we went to the house.

We got to the house by 7pm that night and as we got home, i saw Angel and Mrs. Susan outside and i knew immediately that something was wrong.

I asked Mr. Fred what was wrong and he said nothing was wrong that we should get into the house then we will find out why there are outside.

Mr. Fred stopped in front of the house to allow me come down and i did.

Angel came immediately and took my bag, i asked her what was wrong but she assured me that everything was fine.

I did not believe it as i have stayed with them for about 6 years now and this is the first time there are coming out from the house to welcome me or Mr. Fred.

I greeted Mrs. Susan and went inside. There were all quiet and it was pissing me off but i maintained as if nothing was wrong.

I was about going upstairs when i could not take it any more and i turned and asked them to tell me what was going on.

I looked at Mr. Fred but he did not say anything, i looked at Mrs. Susan and she did not say anything.

I looked at Angel and said, "Even you?" and little drops of tears started dropping from her eyes.

That was when i realized that maybe they received a call that my dad was dead.

I looked at Mr. Fred and i started crying, i went close to him.

"Please tell me that it is not true, i hit his chest but he did not move but tears started dropping from his eyes.

I went close to Mrs. Susan but she did not say anything but was crying.

I turned to Angel, "Angel, tell me that my dad is still alive."

She nodded her head in disagreement, i shouted and started crying.

Angel rushed and hugged me, i cried and cried. They tried to console me but i was too broken to lose my dad.

Angel manage to take me to my room, i continued crying until i slept off.

I woke up the next morning feeling very sick. I stood up, took my phone and called my mum but my brother John picked up.

I asked him where my mother was and he said she fainted when she head that my dad was dead and she is now in the hospital.

I decided to travel immediately. Mr. Fred told me not to but i insisted that i am going to travel that the reason my father died was because i was not there with him at the hospital after his surgery.

I am not ready for that mistake to happen again. So, he agreed but she that he will go with me.

We prepared and let and we got to the United States of America in the evening.

We went straight to the hospital and met my mum very sick. The doctors told us that my mum may not survive as she was old and the shock took a better part of her adding to the fact that she was ill but did not say anything to anyone because he knew there was no money for treatment.

I asked the doctor whether there is any solution but he said, he will not let me spend so much money on my mother and still watch her die the same way my father did.

Mr. Fred went into his office and talked with him.

When he came out Mr. Fred called me out and told me that my mother will not survive the whole thing, that her case is very critical.

If advice me to go in and talk with my mother as she has less than 48 hours to live.

I could not cry because i was already tired from last night and the fact that i was not feeling too well.

I went in to the ward where my mum was kept and as i went in she was shading tears. I tried to console her but instead of her to stop crying she whispered "Take care of your brother Sam" and her eye closed.

I ran and called the doctor who came into the room and check few things that i do not understand before he confirmed her dead.

I dropped on the floor and shock entered me, i could not talk or cry for days.

The feeling that my parents died the same week was hunting me and i could not sleep.

Mr. Fred stayed with I and my brother for few weeks till after we were able to burry my parents.

I asked my junior brother about his admission and he said he have not paid any other fee except the registration and processing fee that was paid when he started the application.

I asked Mr. Fred to lend me some money which i used in paying his acceptance fee, school fees and every other fees.

He went to school the next week and I and Mr. Fred went back to China.

I went into my room and brought out my debt book and i realized i was owning US$30,000, US$20,000 for my company's CEO and US$5,000 from Mr. Fred and US$ from one of my work colleague.

I was thinking how i will manage to pay all this debt and still save up for my brother's next year university fees.

I really do not know what to do, but i am now an adult and will take up responsibilities as an adult even though i no longer have a salary as my CEO will take my salary untill his money is complete.

I decided to look for an extra hustle that i will be doing on weekends to give me a little money to pay some of the debts and also cater for my little brother's education.
