the rainy day chapter 6
The weather has been cloudy and rainy for the past two days as it is the rainy season.
Eleanor, Jason and I were at home alone ourselves all day, for the first time we've been here.
Aunt Sandra wasn't at home, because she had to go to work.
She left Jason in charge as he is the oldest one and he is more responsible, but only if aunt Sandra knew that Jason was not as responsible as she thought he was.
Jason broke every rule that aunt Sandra lain.
Jason drank from cups and left them in the sink,he also
Aunty Sandra said that no one should leave the house and we should not let anyone inside. Still, Jason invited his friend Thomas over to play games.
when Eleanor and I warned Jason about the consequences that he would bear if he kept breaking the rules his mother laid.
Jason didn't listen neither did he care .
Feeling hopeless about the situation ,Eleanor and I decided to keep our mouths closed.
"I only hope that aunt Sandra will find out about what Jason is doing by on her own", I said to Eleanor.
" me too", said Eleanor
Eleanor and I went to our room and we talked.
"I miss my community in the countryside. Getting up every day, feeding the cows, the chickens, the goats and the pigs, sweeping the yard, and watering the fields", I said.
"What I miss the most is my friends.especially Cassandra. I missed the times and he went fishing and swimming in the river. I could also remember laughing and talking to my friends", said eleanor.
But most of all we missed our mother the most. Mommy was always there for us and so were we too. Eleanor and I would follow mommy to the river and help her wash the clothes.
In the middle of our conversation, I heard a sudden crash, coming from Jason's room , followed by a loud ahhhhh!
Running to Jason's room I saw him lying on the floor crying and whining.
What happened? I asked .
Thomas said,``Jason was spinning around on his chair. until one of the legs of the chair broke. The chair was unbalanced so he fell off and landed on his left
Arm"
"Is your arm hurt ?"Eleanor asked .
"Yes I think so , I can't feel my arm at all" , Jason said.
"It's broken , we have to call the ambulance!" I said.
I thought for a second , is it worth helping Jason after all he had done .
At that same time I remembered what I was always told, that it is the good inside me that counts , and so I called the ambulance.
When I called the ambulance, they told me that they couldn't come as it was raining heavily.
My next option was to call aunt Sandra ,but Jason begged not to call her, as he knew his mother always told him to stop spinning on the chair.
Despite all that I still called aunt sandra.
Telling aunt Sandra about what happened to her son brought pity to her heart.I could hear the tears in her voice, but telling her what caused him to break his arm made her lose pity. Instead all I could hear in her voice was indifference .
Despite his disobedience, with the love aunt Sandra had in her heart for her only son .
Aunt Sandra guided me to try casting the injured arm "if there is any bleeding, try to Stop it , then Apply firm pressure to the wound area with a clean cloth until bleeding stops,reduce the swelling, by applying ice on the Arm, wrap his broken arm with a gauze ,if after you do that and there is any more complications, a nurse lives at the fifth floor her door number is five. You can go there and kindly ask for her help. Please keep me updated".
Finally Eleanor, Thomas , and I managed to cast Jason's arm with a white cloth and a gauze.
" Ella , why did you help me? after all i didn't listen to you', Jason asked me .
"If I didn't learn anything else in life, I am sure I always learnt. That
it is the good inside you that counts" i said calmly.
" Thank you , can you please forgive me?" he asked .
"I do forgive you", I said.
Due to the effects of Jason's injured arm , he was in pain and kept complaining about about headaches and is arm was itching . in confusion Thomas, eleanor and I went looking for the nurse at the fifth floor.
the elevator took us to floor five , then we walked up to door number five.
from there we knocked , then a young lady showed up at the door.
"hello and how may I help you kids?" she asked.
" my cousin fell on his arm and broke it", I said.
"okay I see, did you try to help him? where is now?"the nurse asked.
"yed we did try to make a cast with guaze and a white cloth; jason he is in his room laying in his bed"said Thomas.
the lasy told me to hold on as she went in and came out with first aid pouch and a bag.
Reaching back to our door , the nurse went him and immediately removed the guaze from Jason's arm . she cleaned the wounded area when properly applied the guaze and a cast on Jason's arm, the nurse gave jason pain killers and requested him to rest.
" thanks for helping my cousin", i told the nurse .
"your welcome young lady, it's what I do , care for people", she said then left.
Soon after thomas went back to his apartment. Then, I saw aunt Sandra's car coming through the gates .
soon she opened the door .
"good evening aunty", I told her .
she replied. aunt sandra asked what happened her today.
jason decided to tell her everything.
aunt sandra punished jason for his disobedience by taking his phone and his computer away.
"I hope this thought you a lesson to always be obedient", said aunt sandra.
