Vanita woke up in the hospital her mind was still blurry about what happened to her.
"You need to rest, for now, it would be good if you called someone, " the doctor told her.
She turned to get her phone from the bag. Calling her grandparents Vanita ended up crying again as she told them what had happened to her parents.
"Grandmom am confused I don't know what to do " she cried.
"We are on our way pumpkin, hold on as we get there," her grandmother said.
She nodded listening to their kind words. She had been out for the whole night.
She laid back down and closed her eyes trying to erase the images from last night but they kept popping in her mind whenever her eyes closed.
"Mom...dad..." she cried.
Essie woke up at midday to find missed calls from Vanita. She decided to call her back, " Morning bestie " she smiled.
"Essie...." she heard Vanita call. Her voice was filled with pain and suffering.
"Hi, what happened?" she jumped out of bed.
"It's Mom and Dad. They are gone " she heard Vanita cry.
Her hands froze while her body seemed to shut down from shaking.
"What happened Essie?. Where are you right? Are you okay?" she asked different questions at the same time.
"Am at the hospital right now " Essie changed in seconds and ran out of her home.
She drove her car as she dialled Rimuel's number.
"Hello," he answered.
"You need to return right now," she said.
"Am heading into a meeting I can't talk much now " he said.
"It's Vanita something happened to her parents " Essie shouted.
Before she could continue her call was cut off. She hung up too and drove to the hospital.
"Hung in there bestie" she murmured.
