THE SURGERY

I informed Mr. Fred as we got to the house that i will be travelling first thing tomorrow morning to give the doctor the money for the surgery and he gave me some words of encouragement.

I went inside the house as he was packing his truck.

Angel met me and asked me how it went.

I told her, let us go into her room and we went into her room.

I explained to her everything thar happened and my intentions to travel the next morning to give the money to the doctor so that the surgery can commence.

She encouraged me too and asked me to always call her and tell her the recent development.

I promised her that i will call her everyday until i get back.

She followed me to my room and i went into the bathroom and took my bath while she helped in packing my stuffs for me.

The next morning, i woke up very early but i realized she slept off in my room last night.

We were discussing until both of us slept off.

I carried her and dropped her on the bed and went into the shower, after which i dressed up before waking her up that i was about to leave.

She was surprised to discover that she slept in my room but i decided not to say anything, she washed her face and helped and carry my bag downstairs.

Mr. Fred was already waiting for me and Mrs. Susan had prepare breakfast for me.

When i saw all this things, i started crying.

Mrs. Susan came and hugged me, she told me not to feel alone that they were now part of my family.

I appreciated them for the show of love.

I ate the breakfast and Mr. Fred dropped me off at the train pack. I boarded a seat and travelled to the United States of America.

I got there in the evening and went to the house.

I met only my mum in the house. I greeted her and asked her were my brother John was and she said he was at the hospital.

I went straight to the hospital and met him there. I asked him to take me to the doctor.

When we met with the doctor, i gave the doctor the cheque which he called his bank to verify the authenticity of the cheque and after being convinced that the cheque was good.

He told me that the surgery will commence the next day.

I asked him whether i could see my father and he took me to my father's room.

I met my dad but he could see me but was not able to talk.

I assumed him that everything will be fine but he asked me and my brother to come closer and when we did.

He took my brothers hand and placed it on my hands and he managed to talk.

"Promise me that you will take care of your brother and make sure he finishes the higher institution."

"I started crying, i told him that nothing will happen to him but he insisted that i make the promise."

"I promise dad, i will take care of him."

He then left our hands and the nurse asked us to leave as she wants to wash him up.

I and my brother John went outside and sat down, we talked about his school.

That was when he told me that he gained admission in Harvard University United States of America but under a 50% scholarship.

I was heartbroken because i don't know how to pay the loan of US$20,000 and also sponsor my brother John in that University but i had no other choice.

I have already promise my father to train and now i have fulfill my promises.

We slept in the hospital that night after calling my mum that we are not going to come back that night.

The next morning, the doctor woke me up and asked me to come and sign a paper as my father was about to be taken to the operating theatre.

I washed my face and followed him, when i took the paper and i realized i was about to sign an agreement that if my father dies in the process or after the surgery that the doctors will not be help responsible.

I signed it as i had no other choice, it was a normal routine for doctors when they are about to do a surgery which they are not sure of the patient surviving.

They wheeled him into the operation theatre and asked me to wait behind.

After 5 hours, the doctor came out and i asked him about the surgery and he said that it went well but they are still waiting for my father to wake up as he went into comma.

I was happy but was praying that he should wake up very soon.

I asked the doctor how many hours will it take for him to wake up and he said it should be close to 24 to 48 hours.

I was eager to wait as long as it will take.

I received a call from my Manager that i should come and handle something in the company.

I did not want to go but my mum encouraged me to go as i did not have any other thing to do at home.

The surgery that i came back for is already done and the only thing we need to do is just to pray that he wakes up because the doctor said, "If he doesn't wake after 48 hours that means he will not make it."

I traveled early morning the next day and got to China in the evening.

Mr. Fred asked me how everything went and i explained to Mr. Fred that the surgery was successful but we are still waiting for him to wake up.

Angel welcomed me and stayed with me all through the night she did not want me to start overthinking.
