Chapter 44 You must letgo

What did he want from me? I don’t want you, stop calling me and stop texting me. Sharon said looking at her phone.

The next day Sharon agreed to go with her mom to see her Doctor friend for a job in his hospital.

Hello welcome to my hospital your mom has talked a lot about you and am willing to give you a chance. The doctor said.

What? Just like that? Sharon ask surprised.

Yes dear, your mom can make things happen, just relax and enjoy, but you must promise me to do your best and not cause any problems for doctor smart.

Yes mom, Sharon said happy, she couldn’t believe that what She couldn’t do for months now is what her mother did from just one phone call.

Wow is good to be powerful she said to herself.

Ok let me show you your office doctor Sharon, the doctor said and smile.

Yes please, she followed him to a very beautiful office prepared for her.

Wow,  you sure this is my office? She ask.

Yes why?

Because it looks like a senior doctor’s office.

Oh is all for you, you know you are special. The doctor said. But Sharon wasn’t comfortable because everyone was treating her so special.

Mom did you notice something with them?

With who my dear,

With the doctor and the nurses.

No, why?

I don’t feel comfortable there.

Look Sharon, I have tried everything to get you a place to work, the least you can do is say thank you.

Thank you mom, she said and walk into her room when they got home.

Her mom rush out to call the doctor.

Hello doc, please do me a favor.

Yes anything for you and your daughter.

Please don’t tell her she owns the hospital ok, and don’t treat her differently from the way you treat others.

But why if I may ask.

She doesn’t like me treating her like a child, she was to know that she is doing her best to be the best doctor so treat her like one of your employees, let her be proud of her work.

Ok, I will do just that.

Ok bye.

The next day Sharon report to work very early and she was called to the doctor’s office.

Yes sir, you called me.

Yes, Sharon take this file, you will be in charge of this patient, doctor fineface will assist you”

What? Excuse me sir, but I have never handle a patient before”

And that is why I said doctor fineface will assist you” he said with a straight face and Sharon wondered if is still the same doctor that was treating her so special yesterday.

Anyways I understand, maybe because my mom was here, well I can take that, am here to learn and become the best doctor in town.

Yes, what are you still waiting for? You can go, the patient is waiting for you”

But sir, I still don’t know who fineface is.

Ask any nurse on your way out. The doctor said without looking up.

Ok sir, she said and walk out of his office.

Excuse me, excuse me, Sharon keep excusing the busy nurses just to ask for fineface.

Go to his office the nurses would say.

Sharon stood there confused, are this not the nurses who were so nice with me yesterday?

She stood there wondering when a hand touch her.

Looking for something?

Yes please, am looking for doctor fineface.

Oh is me, why is a beautiful woman like you looking for me this early, I hope am safe?”

Yes, she smile a little.

The senior doctor ask me to be in charge of this patient, but he said that you will assist me, but I must confess I have never do this before, I should be the one assisting you”

Oh no problem, I will be delighted to be your assistant, he said.

Sharon breath a sign of relieve at least he is friendly.

So shall we? He ask and Sharon lead’s the way even though she didn’t know where it leads.

This way the doctor said.

Oh thanks, she smile, let me just follow you instead she said.

Ok, that will safe time I guess the doctor said as they walk to the patient’s room.

What happened to him? She yell seeing Desmond in the hospital.

You know him? The doctor ask.

Yes.

Oh that makes it easier for him.

Why? Sharon ask.

“Because he is depress, so you can help him more than I do” he said jokily.

Depress? How? Why? The last time I saw him he was a happy man, and now he is lying down here depressed.

Well, he is not only depress, he actually wanted to commit suicide, when someone saw him and brought him to the hospital.

Why? Sharon keep asking.

Well, you can wait for him to wake up then you can ask him. 

[Christy’s House]

Christy went about her house chores and running errands happily without questions and smiling all the time, she feels like her time with Paul should never have ending, she just can’t get enough of him.

And then she approach the house and saw a woman well dressed talking with her stepmom and they were saying their good byes when Christy enters the house.

Who was that? Christy ask Bridget.

That’s Paul’s mom.

And I missed her.

Is even better that you missed her, she was threatening fire and brimstone before you came.

That what happened? Christy ask worried.

She wants you to leave her son alone.

What? Why?

Are you asking me? You should be asking Paul that, let’s call him first Bridget suggested.

Ok, Christy rush to get her phone but her stepmom barge in to her room.

Christy can you kindly tell me what you were doing with that boy Paul before I loose my temper.” She yells.

Nothing mom she said shaking.

What do you mean nothing? His mother came here to warn you to leave her son that you are not in his class and I agree with her, what were you thinking?

She starts beating her and throwing her things out.

Mom please stop, Bridget keeps begging.

Stay away from this or you will go with her.

Mom please forgive me I won’t do it again. Christy begged.

You will not stay in this house and spoil my daughter, you have to leave.

Where will she go to mom? Bridget ask.

I don’t know, let her go anywhere she likes or she can go to Paul if she wants.

Please mom am begging you forgive her, Bridget kneels down and Christy kneels with her, they both keep begging their mom until she gives in.

“Thank your God that Bridget is here, I would have thrown you out of this house”

Thank you Bridget Christy said after their mother left.

You are welcome, just know that you own me one.

Yes, I know, so should we still call him.

“Yes, call him”

Christy called and called but Paul wasn’t picking up.

What’s wrong with him? Let me call with my phone” Bridget called and he picked up the call.

Hello Paul, why are you not picking up Christy's call?

Because I don’t know what to tell her”

So you knew?

Knew what? Paul ask.

That your mom came to our house and threatening Christy, not my mother is asking her to leave the house”

Shit… where is Christy now?

She is here with me.

Please Bridget, please do me a favor and take care of her for me until I figured out what to do.

That’s not a problem, you just agreed that you own me one.

Anything Bridget, anything, I will pay you when I see you.

Ok bye.

Bye.

What did he say? Christy ask curious.

He said I should take care of you, like a little baby hahaha.

Bridget please stop am serious, what did he say?

He said I should take care of you that he will find a way.

Why did he want to speak to me?

He did know what to tell you, so just give space he will come around ok.

Ok thanks.

Am going to my room, take all this things back.

Ok, Christy start taking back her things inside and arranging everything that her stepmom has scattered all over the place.

Mom what did you do? Why did you have to go and threatening Christy, I told you I will leave her alone.

I just wanted to make sure she gets the message, for goodness sakes Paul that girl doesn’t fit you, her background is nothing to write home about.

Now look at Sharon, her mother told me she has started work as a doctor, don’t you want that?

Paul didn’t say anything, he didn’t know how to convince his mother that he loves Christy and not her background.

Look, you are going to graduate next year and take over the running of the company and Sharon is a doctor, now that is what we are talking about and not some nonentity.
