Chapter four

Third person’s POV

I watched her as she laid down on the mattress , her skin pale she survived the scariest surgery lost a lot of blood, I didn’t how long I stood there wondering when she will ever wake it has been days since the surgery and I didn’t want to step out and do something cause I knew she will need a person to explain to her where she was and everything little questions she had, my heart went out to all the people who was out there suffering from the same trauma they had to deal with, the pain and acceptance of losing apart of themselves the childhood stolen so soon , One can only hope for a better future for the country.God how can humans be so heartless the state we were facing was a tragedy it’s self . We have to live up to the memories of it , i was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear the person entering the tent of where we were currently camping in .

“NGABO you have to sleep and get some rest you look like hell and we still have a war to get back to “, my commander said to me .

I held her when she was young she been more than just anybody’s daughter, her father used to be one of my closest friend , May he Rest In Peace I couldn’t imagine how terrified she must have been all alone in the woods , i was pulled out of my thoughts by a hand on my shoulder

“ I know she is going to be alright, she is a fighter like you “, he said to me bringing a smile to my face “ Yes you are a fighter “ i whispered to her like as if l except a reply from her . I got up and decided to leave the tent heading outside , walking past the soldiers training , I winked at my wife attending injuries, she was quite a healer

“ Concentrate “ again interrupted by my command in chief , I quickly shut the world out and decided to pay attention to what he was telling me

“We should start the journey early , tomorrow morning we will strike the last of them there is a sign that we might win this time and take over the city that’s when we get back our country and manage to give it peace and independence it deserves “

That night I didn’t get any sleep thinking of the Great War and the journey to peace

A week later

I can’t believe we ended the bloodshed ! No more screams and cries it’s finally over , but only thing kept bothering me, Hope hasn’t woken up from the comma and I was started to lose it and it was scary as hell .....

Maybe I should follow the chiefs advice and let the UNHCR take her abroad for better treatment but I think that wasn’t my decision to make the only was she had no family left .

Of all the people left in my family she was the only person that worries me how she would be able to find light after all she been through.

I sat on the bench for almost three hours thinking of the decision , if I should send her abroad or let her decide for herself I guess the second option wasn’t up for discussion , I had no hope of her waking up in the comma anytime soon

It was six pm in the evening it was getting dark outside I headed back to the tent to go check up on her

One last glance before I made the decision she will leave her tomorrow first thing in the morning to Europe , I went to bed thinking about her and I prayed to the almighty god to protect her .

Early that morning Hope and other patient took the flight to Canada to get more better treatment , there was nothing the could do here , I stole one last glance kissing her forehead goodbye.I watched as the plan took off leaving, i went back to my chores back to help the survivors as we needed to find them shelter, it was a lot of work but I had help from a few of my workmates ,

A few hours later

In the afternoon one of the medical assistance called me to update that they landed safely , heading straight to one of the hospital in the city I let out sigh thank god she is safe , I told him to keep an eye out for me if anything changes

I took the night flight out heading to Canada, Hope had surgery and I needed to be there for her , I reached out to the medical assistant his name was Alex he was tall about 6’2 feet , light skin with brown eyes, in his mid 20s , I took an Uber straight to Ottawa in the Royal Ottawa hospitalit was an hour drive there i entered the hospital going to the reception , I saw Alex in the lobby going up to him gave him hug as he proceeded to tell me that Hope had already went into surgery and it has been one since it started the doctors hasn't updated him yet and he was becoming inpatient at this point , we sat there as we waited for the doctors In the hours of mid night thats when i saw nurses running in and out of the ER decided to ask them what was going , the nurse asked who my patient was " Her name is Teta Hope she went into surgery hours ago " i told her,

what she told me next shocked me as i got numb a chill went through my body as i feel to my knees gasping ..........
