Chapter 14. Back home

I felt someone's palm on my right hand, and my heart beat increased immediately, only to find out that it was a doctor's hand.

"Miss, you won't be allowed to pay the money", the doctor said.

I was so shocked at the statement, why won't I be allowed to pay for them to save the life of my mother. I frowned as I spoke up immediately, “Excuse me, what do you mean?”.

“We have just been informed from someone in the top government, that we should not receive payment from you since they will take the case personally,” he said. At the sound of that, my heart leapt for joy, that means, I wouldn't have to pay with this money?

At the same time, I was so sad. All that I went through was in vain. My eyes were crammed with tears and my body had started itching. “When, will my mom's treatment commence?", I asked while wiping the drops of tears that had my eyes escaped.

“There won't be any treatment, till you sign some documents. If you do sign, treatment will commence immediately" the doctor replied. “Where are the documents?" I asked impatiently.

“Follow me," he said and began walking in the direction of his office.

I looked at the receptionist and I could tell, that she felt everything was strange. She had this kind of expression, which meant “Strange, this isn't part of the process...”

But I was less concerned, immediately I followed this doctor to his office. When I got there, he offered me a seat. I sat. “What would you like me to offer you?" he asked. “Nothing, I am fine" I replied, using my eye to scan the documents I was about to sign.

He brought out a document from his Shelf and handed it over to me to sign. I collected the documents. I was about to sign, then I remembered what happened at the club the last time with my best friend when I signed a contract without reading or even bargaining. All to find out, that I have been sold to a beast.

I collected the documents and taught about, reading them.

But hey, this document was filled with sixty pages.

How on earth do I read that. I opened the middle page and tried reading, but there wasn't any relevant information about me. What was written there, was about the care and treatment my mother would receive.

I turned again to another page, it was still the same thing and I believed it would be the same for all. Immediately, I picked up the pen and signed, where I was told to sign. In not less than, two minutes, I was done with it.

The doctor collected the document and checked it. He smiled after seeing my signature, immediately he picked up the phone in the office and spoke to someone “Commence, treatment with miss Aria's mother". He turned to me and said, “You can now leave, proper treatment will begin as soon as possible" he said.

My heart was filled with joy, I was so glad. I stood up and left the office, I didn't return to my mother's ward. I went back home to have some rest. I was happy but I was very uncomfortable.

I walked down the street in the euphoria of what had just happened and all I could do was smile, everything just seemed to amaze me. I was great full to God, and it was such a great and nice feeling.

As I walked down the road, to my house, I decided to grab an ice cream, from an ice cream van on the road. I walked towards the ice cream van and placed an order for my favourite flavour of ice cream.

It was given to me and I paid. I thanked the vendor with a smile and I left there. As I walked down-home, my mind flashed back to everything that happened in the past few days and I was ashamed of myself, I just couldn't bring myself, together.

The saying “Females are kings of swing mood” was indeed very true as I wasn't the same person happy before buying the ice cream. My stomach was simmering, and I was sweating already.

I found a chair by the roadside and I sat.

I buried my head in my lap, as tears flooded my eyes. I couldn't believe that, half of my dreams were shattered and I couldn't do anything about it. It was such a painful experience. I started blaming myself for trusting someone else.

What if I never, had a best friend?.

What if I never, shared my burden, with anyone?.

What if, when she came I didn't blindly follow her?.

What if, I could be smart enough and read the papers before signing the contract?.

What if, I escaped from his mansion earlier as I had the gun and money?

What if I fought when he started penetrating me?

What if I just killed him?

These were the thought that ran through my mind and I must tell you, it was just a moment of madness. At that point, I was the definition of confusion, sadness and vulnerability. I bowed my head and soaked my dress with tears.

I started shivering when I thought of the pain, — the strange feeling I felt when I got up and the Old woman told me that I had slept for three days with the room locked meanwhile with blurred vision I saw a masculine silhouette moving out of my room…

After a few minutes of saying some positive words to myself. I stood up to continue my journey. As I walked, I felt very uneasy within myself. It was like something bad was going to happen again. I usually had such feelings when something bad is about to be happy so I prayed it shouldn't be about me. But the more steps I took, the more it became strong.

The more distance I covered, the stronger it became until I had to walk and look back at intervals like a thief peeping left and right. I felt like my life was still in danger and I was threatened by every passerby.

When I looked back at what had happened the past few days, I knew if I didn't die then, nothing could make me die again. With lots of struggle, I continued walking. I took out my phone, inserted my earpiece and started listening to music to change my mind.

Suddenly, just like a flash of light, something unimaginable happened. I just couldn't bring myself to comprehend it, just a few moments, my instinct was telling me about something dangerous.

Behold, here another ugly scenario was about to play out. It really, weakened me, that I couldn't do anything. I just stood, mopping like a newly born puppy. I was speeches and void of action. I just couldn't do anything as my life was about to get ruined again, or perhaps that of someone else, the feeling was inexplicable. But one thing for sure was that I had a bad feeling…

Everyone stood there watching, with their hands on their heads while some were shaking their heads In disbelief, and others getting shocked by what was going on….
