" will you promise dad that no matter what happens his little princess will not give up on life?
" yes dad I promise to make you proud".
" pinky promise? He asked while raising his hand.
" yes I pinky promise". I said and lock my little finger with his.
He asked me to place my head on his chest and put the hair on my face behind my ear.
" dad? I called out to him.
"Yes my princess".
" when are we going back home, you haven't forgotten I have birthday party tomorrow. And this hospital smells a lot". I said why wrinkling my nose.
" soon my princess. We will as I recover to celebrate my princess birthday okay?.
"Sam? He said after a while.
" yes dad". I answered him.
"Where's your mom?. He asked me.
"Sssshe at home. I quickly replied.
"Why is she not here with you?.
" Umm she was asleep when I left the house". I told him trying to keep a calm face while my heart was in a marathon race.
" tell me the truth Sam.he said in a firm voice.
"Sh...she " I stopped halfway.
"She is what?
"S..ssshe fainted when she received a call from the 911. I said why panicking. Scared that he will faint.
"Which room was she admitted?he asked.
"She is in th ICU dad".
" whenever she wakes up tell her that I love her so much. Tell her that her presence in my life was a huge blessing to me".he said and Exhaled.
"Can you do that for me? He asked.
" yes I will tell mum everything that you said ".
" that's my girl". He said and patted my head.
" can you go and call the doctor for me?. He suddenly asked.
" sure wait for me I will be right back okay?.
" okay my princess".
I quickly left his room and went out to look for the doctor. In my haste I made a wrong turn and went to the part of the hospital meant for the pregnant women.
" Umm please where's the doctor's office? I asked a nurse who was passing by.
" which doctor kid?.
"Aish" I sighed when I realized that I didn't know the doctor's name.
" I don't know his name but I think he is in charge of burnt patients?. I asked with uncertainty.
" please can you direct this kid to Dr Brian's office?. She asked another nurse.
"Sure this way kid".she said and led me away from there.
