Hidden Dreams

Episode 43

I walked around panicking . She had lost all hope of living I could see her so weak as she lay down the bed. She had told me the Doctors told her the cancer had spread almost covering her entire heart. She said it was too late to even think of alternatives. My heart refused to accept that.

I went to see the Doctors later that day leaving her sleeping. I let her so that she could take some rest. I saw how tired she looked.

” Am sorry, what she told you is correct. There’s nothing anyone can do to save her life now. Am even surprised she has reached this far she is so strong” the Doctor told me.
” sign some papers so that I fly her out of the country. Am sure I can find some doctors to help her outside this country”
The Doctor shook his head… ” I understand your pain, Mr Zimba. But it’s too late. Shes too weak to move any long distance. If there was a slight chance she would survive this, believe me I could have told you already. I grew fond of the young lady. She talked about you and how she loved you. She always mentioned your name. I have seen how much she has suffered but still holding on. I can’t help her anymore and no one else can. All we have to do for now is hope for God’ s intervention. Am sorry” he patted my back and left me stoned.
I ran outside the hospital to the back and cried out like a baby. I was lost of thoughts and words.
” No she can’t die, please God , I know am not so much of a prayer person but hear me and save her life. I need her alive, I can’t do this please help me here.I will do anything” I cried out.
After some minutes of crying myself out, I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to look at who touched me, just to find my father’s hand on me.

” am so sorry Jared, you have to be strong for your daughter. I can take you to her now, she’s outside with Angela’ s brother” he informed me.
” thank you dad, it’s just that it’s so painful seeing her so weak. She’s dying dad and I can’t do anything about it. Why me? ” I shouted in tears.
” what did I do? How can God bless me with so much money and now fame but take away the only person I have ever loved? How am I going to live without her, no dad, it’s not fair. It’s not fair” I sobbed as he pulled me in a hug and I cried out on him.
” it’s okey sonny, you have to be strong my son, Angela needs you now more than ever and you can’t keep on like this. Try to stay strong and give her hope. If you love her you have to fight to stay strong together. Come on now” he rubbed my back.
I stood straight sniffing and wiping my face. He was right I couldn’t keep crying in front of Angela.
I followed him outside and saw my baby girl in a flayerd pink dress and some pink ribbons in her hair. She was now 2 years and some months and she looked more like he mother.
I held her close and kissed her.
” daddy!” She called me and I smiled widely. “Angela always showed her your pictures and told her about you everyday. She knows who you are” Angela’s brother spoke up looking at us.

I felt tears coming from my eyes and I quickly rubbed them off walking around as I talked to Blessings. She was so adorable her smile exactly like that of her mother.
