Mr John also goes to a sea not too far from his house to relax each time just to get his mind off something.
Mr John is a primary school teacher, and he has a lovely family. One day, tragedy hit his home.
He was off to work on that fateful day, after a lovely meal with his family. And his wife was to go for her business of the day with the children since they were on midterm break.
Few hours later, Mr John got a distress call from an unknown caller telling him that his wife and children had been hospitalized.
What is this now? How can this be happening now I have money, Mr John said as he ran out of the school immediately and headed towards the hospital.
Few minutes later, he discovered that he couldn't get to the hospital by tracking. So he quickly stopped a cab that was coming towards his direction.
Good afternoon sir, Mr John greeted the cab man who happens to be an aged man.
Afternoon my friend, where are you going? The elderly asked Mr John.
Please sir, can you take me to Rickman hospital? Mr John asked.
Yes I can. the elderly man said, it will only cost you two thousand naira.
Two thousand? John shouted. Haha, sir is too much. Rickman hospital is not far from here now. John said with a pleading face.
So how much do you have to pay? The elderly man asked him.
Let me give one thousand, John replied.
One thousand!One thousand!!..He was calculating whether to go or not because of the price John offered to pay.
Is fine. enter let me help you, though the price is small. The elderly said to John in pity.
Thank you sir. John said immediately as he jumped into the car and hurried the cab man to move fast so that he could catch up.
Why are you in a hurry? The elderly man asked as they were on a motion.
My family had an accident and they have been hospitalized, John replied sobbing.
Oooh, so sorry my friend. don't worry, nothing will happen to them. The elderly man said as he tried to build his faith.
I hope so, just hope. John said.
Thank you sir for your consign, I am grateful.
You are welcome my friend, the elderly man replied as they entered the premises of the hospital.
Immediately, John jumped out of the car and ran inside the hospital shouting his wife's name as he ran towards the nurse that was on site.
When he got to the nurse, he began to ask the nurse about his family that was brought to the hospital.
Who was making that noise? The doctor asked as she came out of her office.
It was me sir, John replied.
I got a call from this hospital that my wife and children had an accident and they were hospitalized here.
Ooh.. you are Mr John? Doctor asked. Come with me to my office and Mr John hurriedly followed him to his office.
Where is my family? Which word are they? Are they responding to treatment? John was so curious with his question.
Talk to me doctor, what is happening? Why did you bring me here instead of taking me to my family?
And the doctor could not say a word to him for a few minutes.
Mr John, the doctor called. At this point, you have to be a man.
Am a man already, not a woman. Mr John interrupted the doctor.
What does being a man or woman have to do with my family that was brought here? Am running out of percent, Mr John said angrily.
We lost them, the doctor said to Mr John as he was still questioning the doctor.
He paused immediately, what did you just say? You lost who? John asked, crying.
You can't lose them ooh, I need my family doctor and he cried out loud.
Is okay Mr John, the doctor said.
Have you lost a wife before? Mr John asked the doctor.
Oh ooh... my family is still with me, the doctor replied to his question in shock.
You don't have to tell me it's okay because you don't know how I feel, John said to the doctor.
