CHAPTER 21: THE DEMISE

Huney's POV

Me: You can't just...

Royalty: You think I'm not trying? Like, I just wanna...

Me: I did not say that. Come on, give me a hug, let me go to work, and then as soon as I knock off, I'll be right here.

Royalty: You promise?

Me: Pinky promise.

"I think it's time for you to go Cuddles."

Me: oh God what the fuck! Look brother I understand this is ypur women but before that she is my sister ypu idiot and we need.....

I looked at Royalty for her to finish and I hope she doesn't disappoint me.

Royalty:...our space ok.

Van: fine but seriously it's now...

Me: oh fuck!

I said after I checked the time on my wrist and I'm already 10 mins late. The two laughed at me as I make my way out of the surgery straight to my car. I got in and drove straight to work atleast it's not far. I arrived and went inside running and I got welcomed with my worste nightmare.

"The manager wants to see ypu".

Me: I'll be damned.

I went to the manager's office and entered after I softly knocked. He is sitted on his chair relaxed like always.

Me: hello sir.

Manager: Miss well how are ypu?

Me: I'm fine thank ypu sir.

Him: look I'm not gonna beat around the bush but you are....

Me: don't even finish just sentence, I'll just go and grab my stuff and leave. Thank ypu for having me here. It was nice while it last. Until me meet again.

He was about to say something but I raised my hand in a way of saying stop.

Me: ypu want to say I'm not fired I got it all wrong?

Him: no but....

Me: then don't say anything.

I stood up and exit the office after giving him a cunning smile. I went to my office and.....yes I'm or I was the senior nurse so I had my personal office. I always knew this was coming. I mean this manager always make sure that 3 lates and you are fired and I got late 5 times so just imagine. I saw it coming.

I started packing my things and while I was still in the process my phone started ringing and it was Van.

Me: brother.....

I said as soon as I answered.

Van: what is it that I'm seeing on social media.

Me: but I thought ypu saw it already before I came to see you minutes ago.

Van: and you think that if I had seen that you got suspended I would have kept quiet!

Me: stop shouting first...wait what?

Van: don't what me. I want you here in less than 5 minutes.

Me: as if ypu don't know that it's a 8 minutes drive from here.

Van: I dont care just get ypur ass here Huney...fuck!

Dudududu and he dropped the call.

I continued to pack my things. I'm not gonna open the social media platforms otherwise I'll go mad.

*Doctor Vansid's POV*

*Van aka Sid*

Me: I don't know what is wrong with Huney, I mean she was here and she said nothing. She could have atlest told me and save me the annoyance of finding it through social media. It's just stupidity.

I'm burning with anger and shouting while trying to read this file but nothing, and the person I'm talking to also is quite. I lift my head, looking at her and saying....

Me: I'm sorry, but am I talking alone here.....what the fuck, Royalty, Tee.

I said holding her and and she just tried her best and smiled at me but I saw it, I saw it right through that smile that she is forcing it. I felt her hand and checked her pulse which is very very weak. It's like it's fighting and I don't understand.

Me: i was here a few minutes ago, and you were ok, so what happened , I don't understand. You look weaker than you were. You are sweating like it was raining in here. Tee don't do this , my dynamite.

I let go of her hand as irushed around, trying to check her and see what the problem was. And called a nurse to come to her room and she came.

Me:Gett the ICU ready. I'm cutting her in 2 minutes.

Nurse: Yes, doctor.

The nurse left, and when I was about to move from Royalty, she held my hand, and Huney arrived also.

Royalty: if.....if.....if....I.....dont.....make it promise...me....me.....you will....will take care...of....

Me: Hey, you are definitely going to make it. Don't say such a thing. Huney.....

Humey: What is going on?

Me: The situation just changed. Just like that. I was here and left but when I came back after a few minutes I found her like this. Get that machine here. Let's scan her here.

Huney: You idiot don't die, if ypu die I'm going to wake you up and kill you myself.....oooh shit, brother her stress levels and BP are too low for....did you see that?

Me: You think I didn't see that? Why are you saying it out loud? Idiot.

Royalty: So I'm definitely going to die.

Me: nop, oooh shit, take that injection and inject her 10 mls , we have to open her right now. This baby here is naughty.

Huney: ok.

I got ready to push her, and we went to the ICU as soon as Huney injected her. We got there and everything is ready.

Me: And where do you think you are going?

Huney: You have two nurses already, so why do.....

Me: I need three, ok?

Hun: But I.....OK fine.

She said after I gave her a deadly stare.

Me: I was trying to let the babies be almost fully developed and grown, but I guess I'm taking my chances today.

*AN HOUR LATER *

Huney: That was fast, doctor .

Me: Yeah....I mean, I tried not to slack you....

Nurse: doc her heart has dropped to....

Me: what the fuck! Get me the iron and Huney connect those wires and change the oxygen mask!

I said in more like shouting. This can't happen not in my hands. It can't, she can't die in my hands I refuse. I tried everything but nothing happened and changed for the better, instead she slipped into a comma. Just like that.

Me: I'm such a failure. Please evacuate this room right now.

The two nurses left and Huney went to the babies and started holding them and putting them back exchanging them.

Huney: aren't they adorable. I mean look at those lips they are definitely my cute lips.

Me: ....

I wanted to say something but I couldn't. It's like some words are stuck on my throat and they don't wanna come out so that means I can't say anything.

Huney: but there is something weird also or maybe it's not weird. I mean I new that it's his.

I stood up and went to the babies which Cuddles here is complementing like she is gonna eat them.

Me: you can already picture yourself holding yours.

Huney: What no no no I meann yes no ....you know what...

Me: You don't have to be scared . If you are not ready to talk, it's OK, but just know you can fool everyone else but not me. I'm a gynaecologist, after all.

Huney: Yeah.

Me: the lips, yeah, they are definitely yours. Then the nose, ears, and even the cheeks, that's your brother there.

Huney: What, no, that's me. We look the same me and my brother after all. The eyes well like everything on the eyes that includes the lashes and all, well that's my sister's cute eyes there.

Me: Don't tell me you also thought this pregnancy is mine.

Huney: No, well for a moment, yeah, i did.

Me: oh fuck you!

Huney: oooh fuck you too. So Puleng's pregnancy?

Me: let me talk to this women here.

I said going to Royalty avoiding Huney's question. I mean where she is going I also don't have some of the answered.

Huney: oh so we are avoiding questions now.

Me: babe I'm sorry ok. I failed ypu, I failed us, and I failed our kids. I'm a failure , just please, please forgive me..

Huney: she is not dead! She is on a comma.

Me: You and me both know that she might not wake up.

Hiney: And you and I also know that she might wake up!

Me: But the chances are very, very low, you know that. Huney, this is real life it's not a movie. You can't consider the fact that she might wake up when you don't know when she might wake up. What if it takes a week, a month, a year, many years? I mean we fucking don't know shit OK!. She might not wake up and we fucking both know that.

Huney: there is not need to shout ok.

She said, with her voice on the edge of crying too. I sat back down on the floor, and for the first time in like 20 years, I shed tears, like a lot of tears. The only time I remember crying and shedding tears was when my mother died, and I knew that I was now alone in this cruel world. I knew that now I had no one except myself alone.

Now, just when I thought I found someone, when I thought I found my better half, I killed her. I killed her myself. It's all my fault.

Huney: This is not your fault. It's no one's fault, ok?

Me: Well, it is what it is. It's my fault.

Huney: You damn know it's not your fault, brother. It's God's will, ok? She will be fine.

Me: I should have just gone ahead with the abortion without asking questions months ago. This wouldn't have happened.

Huney: Then that means you would have killed these two angels, you say. Brother, things happen for a reason. She will be fine. Just, just have a little faith, a little hope, and let God do everything.

Me: Everything is fading away, Huney, just like that.

Huney: Brother...

Me: The future I pictured with her, the wishes I wished they come true while we are together. Everything is ....

Huney: Brother, don't say that, please....

Me: What, what do you wanna me to say? Look at her. She is laying there lifeless, and whose fault is it?

Huney: But it's not...

Me: Don't tell me it's...

TO BE continued.....

STAY TUNED.
