Dorcas screamed in pain " Ahhh".
She couldn't wait for this pain to be over. She had never experienced such in her life and it was terrible. Finally the baby was out. The cry of the newborn baby wash heard from the ward. She smiled to herself and her joy was evident as she whispered to her newly born child in satisfaction.
"A baby girl "
At her VIP ward she sat on the bed clinging to her baby like it meant everything in the world to her. Her husband and son would be here soon to meet the new family member. She continued to imagine their future and happy family. She was brought back to reality by the sound of her ringing phone. At first she was reluctant to answer the call realizing it was an unknown number but it the number was persistent so she decided to pick up.
Caller:"hello is this Mrs Dorcas?"
Dorcas:"And how may I help you?"
Caller:" Well , your husband and son just got into a fatal accident and have been rushed to the hospital but we have been unable to revive them and they have no chance to survival "
At the last sentence she froze completely and lost grip of her phone causing it to fall to the ground with a loud thud. Why now , when she thought today would be the happiest day of her life. She had never imagined that something like this would happen. What was happening and why was her life suddenly fall apart. Maybe this was just punishment for her past. Tears began to well up in her eyes, where would she start from?. A lot of thoughts came flying in and out of her mind and her world was in chaos. She didn't even notice the voice of the female nurse until she spoke.
"Mrs you have to calm down "
So it was true and they were gone just like that and this nurse expected her to calm down. How was that even possible right now. Not long Dr Carl walked in and hurriedly another nurse took the baby from her. Within a split of seconds she landed on the floor with a loud thud.
