Episode 28

The matron hurriedly drove her car inside the hospital and met the junior nurse coming out of the labour room. She was surprised and shocked to see her.

Junior Nurse:Matron where did you go to na? I met Blessing alone here.

Matron: erm erm, I went erm, (she stammered) how come you are back so early?

Junior Nurse: Matron please there is no time, hurry and come, the baby is coming?

Matron: What? What baby?

Junior Nurse: Blessing’s baby, the head is already out, please hurry and come.

The matron rushed inside with the junior nurse and saw Blessing. The baby’s head was already out, she was too shocked to even understand what was happening. Eventually it was the junior nurse that helped Blessing deliver of her second child. Though none was aware that it was actually her second child except the matron.

She stood transfixed to a point and just watched as the junior Nurse helped Blessing with the cleaning and everything.

Junior Nurse: Congrats miss Blessing! You have a bouncing baby boy!
( she covered the baby up and handed him over to Blessing, as she held her son tears flowed from her eyes. She raised her voice and sang)
”I give you glory Lord as I honor you”
”I give you glory Lord as I honor you”
” You are wonderful”
”You are worthy oh Lord”
”You are wonderful”
”You are worthy oh Lord”
The junior nurse sang along with her as they both worshiped God, but the matron stood aside with guilt written all over her. As she heard Blessing singing, the reality of what she’s done began to get to her. She quickly ran aside and called Mrs Johnson.

Matron: Hello, hello,

Mrs Johnson: My bossom friend,

Matron: Please my friend, I need to take the baby from you. My conscience is seriously pricking me please.

Mrs Johnson: What do you mean?

Matron: Please my friend I can’t stand it, my conscience is killing me.

Mrs Johnson: what kind of useless conscience is that? The same conscience that allowed you to take 100k from me? What nonsense are you vomiting from your mouth?

Matron: Please if it is the money, I will return it, I don’t want to get my hands dirty please.

Mrs Johnson: your hands are already dirty madam. In fact, they are completely soaked and drenched in dirty so please stop talking rubbish.

Matron: Don’t be like this, please

Mrs Johnson: Don’t call this line again do you understand? As of this moment, you don’t know me and I don’t know you. Rubbish!
She hung up the call and the matron just stood there regretting all that she has done to Blessing. Blessing and the junior nurse who knew nothing about how she (matron) is feeling were just there admiring the little boy and giving thanks to God Almighty who has blessed her with a boy.

Blessing: my son, I am so happy to hold you in my hands and I thank God who has given you to me. My hope is that, one day my eyes will be opened to see you. Therefore I name you HOPE!
