In another room in the hospital
Their poor daughter is still in the hospital, when will she leave? none of them has the answer to this burning question. and no one in this world wants this answer more than them.
they are in so much sadness right now, this world has been cruel to them. just why their poor child? they pray for no parent in this world to ever experience this amount of pain they are in right now.
"So how are you feeling now dear?'' Mrs. Swift asked her daughter who is sitting in a hospital bed with a fruit plate in her hand eating.
''Mom, come on I have already told you since am fine so please don't worry too much and let me finish my fruits now." Vivian who was eating her fruits said to her worried mother.
Mrs. Swift kept on looking at her daughter who was eating her favorite fruits grape and strawberry with tears weld up in her eyes, she knows that Vivian must be in pain but doesn't want to show it so she won't worry about her. that's why she kept on bringing the excuse of they are in the hospital so if she is in any pain she will tell the doctor.
''Are you sure you are fine dear?" Mrs. Swift asked Vivian again.
''Am perfectly fine mom, I already told you if am in any form of pain I will tell the doctor or ask you to call him, so don't worry am fine, Okay?"
The mother and daughter dual were busy talking when the hospital room door opened and a well-dressed and handsome man in his late fifties enters the room.
''Dad you are here?" Vivian said when she saw Mr. Swift enter the room.
Mrs. Swift smiled at her husband when he enter.
''Thank the heavens you are here dad," Vivian said.
''Why isn't mom taking care of you?" Mr. Swift said to his daughter why ruffling her hair.
''Of course, she is, but you know mom always asking, dear are you okay? Are you in any pain? all the time." Vivian answered her dad.
Mr. Swift who sat beside his daughter said. ''But that's because she wants to know if you are in any pain so that she can the doctor to check on you."
''Yes! yes! yes! I know." Vivian said while holding her father's hand.
Mrs. Swift who was watching the father and daughter pair kept on smiling at them, sometimes she is even jealous of her husband because of the way he is close to their daughter, they talk about everything together whether it is food, fashion, football, movies, life and even what's better.
To keep it short she is her daddy's girl.
''So tell me now how is my angel doing?" Mr. Swift asks Vivian who was acting spoilt after seeing him, the thing Is he can't blame her after all he was the one that spoil her rotten since she was born. Vivian was born with a heart condition, the doctors were even surprised that she survived when she was born and they said even if she managed to survive she will not be able to take leave for a long time, they are even surprised that she made it to the age of eighteen that she is now, but now her condition has been deteriorating and she might leave them anytime from now.
Vivian wasn't able to leave her life like any other child, because of her condition, she didn't even play like other children do and also doesn't even have childhood memories except the ones of her always being in the hospital all the time because of her condition. That's why he always spoils his daughter very much all the time.
Mrs. Swift who was looking at her husband who is deep in thought even though he was talking to Vivian she know that he must be thinking about Vivian and her condition right now, of the fact that she might leave them any moment from now with tears weld up in her eyes.
''Mom are you okay?" Vivian who was busy chatting with her dad ask when she saw her mother's wet eyes.
''Of course am fine dear." Mrs. Swift said.
''You are not and if you are then why are you crying." Vivian who was looking at her mom said.
''Dear mom is just too happy." Mrs.Swift said.
''Too happy, if you're really too happy then why are you crying?" asked Vivian with her moist eyes.
''Well you see dear mom is happy to see how strong you are, I mean how your health is getting better and you are weak like you always are all the time anymore." Mrs. Swift lies to Vivian about the reason behind her tears.
Vivian who already knows the reason why her mother was crying knows that she lied to her so that she won't make her sad but what her parents don't know is that she is already a wear of the fact that she may die and leave them any moment from now.
''if that's really the case then come and give me the best and tightest hug ever," Vivian said with her hands wide open smiling at her mom.
''Ok, dear I will come and give you the tightest hug ever!" Mrs. Swift said and stood up to give her daughter the best and tightest hug that she wanted.
Mr. Swift who was watching the mother and daughter dual that is being lovey and dovey in front of him couldn't help but smile and a tear dropped from the corner of his eyes.
The two are his most priceless jewel of life, what will he do if Vivian leaves them one of these days? her mother will be devastated and him too. that is when he knows concealing his emotions and being there for his wife will be needed extensively.
They have to be emotionally strong for whatever is to come.
