Chapter 91: Chapter 91

Semirat’s car drove inside the hospital compound and parked at the car park. She carried her handbag on the seat, opened the door and rushed down from the car. She closed the door and running inside the hospital, even she too had felt disturbed.

She met Somia walking around the hospital, looking so stressful and with the dirty gown.

“Somia! Somia!! How far, how is everything going?” Semirat said with loud voice as she touched Somia on her right shoulder.

“You are here, thank you for coming!” Somia said with loud voice, and hugged Semirat tightly. Somia didn’t even know what to do, and she really needs a shoulder on rest on and lucky for her to see Semirat.

“Everything is going to be fine okay, just calm down and be praying!” Semirat with low voice as she was rubbing Somia’s back.

“Ibrahim should not die, because I supported him to go and to confront our uncle instead to listen to our mother” Somia said with sad voice and crying as she hugged Semirat.

“Ibrahim will be fine, he won’t die! Just believe that” Somia removed herself from Semirat, and looking at her with sad face.

“So how far, what did doctor said?” Semirat asked with low voice.

“I haven’t see the doctor, the nurses are just running up and down. They should just treat him, don’t let him die!” Somia said with anger.

“Calm down, they are doing their work and Ibrahim will be fine!”

“You know what, just sit down!” Semirat made Somia to sit on a chair, standing at the front of her and looking at her for few minutes.

“Where is mom, and Nibia too? Where are they-------“

“This is what I am talking about oh---- I said so, I said so!” Semirat was asking of Somia’s mother when she heard her voice from a room, shouting.

Semirat dropped her handbag on a chair beside Somia, and going to the room to see her. She draw the cotton at the entrance, and met Somia’s mother sitting on the floor and crying. Not even sitting on the chair giving to her.

“Anty Semirat! Good evening Ma, You are here” Nibia said with low voice and got up.

“Somia called me, I believe that Ibrahim is going to be fine!” Semirat looked at Somia’s mother just shouting the same words and crying bitterly.

“Mother said so, but we supported him and let him go. Now nobody know what could be the outcome-----“Semirat stopped her with low voice.

“Bad thing won’t be the outcome Insha Allah!”

“How is mother doing?” Semirat asked with low voice, and didn’t took her eye away from Somia’s mother. Just looking at her because there was nothing to do for now.

“That is how she had been for hours now, and shouting the same words. The thing that can help now is she should hear a good news about Ibrahim” Nibia looked at their mother as she finished talking.

“Insha Allah, Ibrahim is going to be fine-----“

“Lets me go and stay with Somia, incase if they need anything. You stay with Mom please!”

“Alright Anty Semirat!” Nibia sat down back, and Semirat going outside.

Semirat came out from the room, and walked to Somia. She talked silent to Somia, petting her and carried her bag. She got to the desk of the hospital secretary, put her bag down and facing each other.

“Am here to make deposit, because we don’t want money to be the problem at all!” Semirat said with low voice.

“The lady over there had made a deposit of three hundred thousand already” The lady said.

“I am making Seven hundred thousand now, so making one million. Please don’t let money be the problem, that boy must be fine” Semirat brought out her debit card.

“The doctors and nurses will try Ma, and he will be fine ma!” The lady said with low voice as she collected the debit card and withdrawing the money from Semirat’s account.

Semirat was standing and looking at the lady when they saw a doctor came out from a corner.

“Where are those that brought a young boy here, that his name is Ibrahim-----?” Somia got up as she heard the doctor mentioned Ibrahim, and ran to him.

“We are here Sir!” Semirat said, and Somia too got there.

“Its gunshot case that you brought here, the boy was shot” Semirat and Somia looked at each other, but two of them didn’t say a word.

“With this, the hospital want to know what happened and also we have called police”

“Is that what you are here to say, how is my brother? That is what I want to hear” Somia said with loud voice.

“Somia calm down! Calm down okay” Semirat said with low voice.

“I can understand her, I want you to know that all the doctors are with him but just have to be here to say this” The man said with low voice.

“The way he was shot was very terrible, and those that could do that must be a notorious criminals. I said those, because it couldn’t be only one person, he was shot at two different parts and those people really wanted to kill him”

“Ibrahim was shot at two different parts, how is he!” Somia shouted with loud voice.

“Yes, one hit him on his upper arm almost wanted to get to his heart, and the second one hit him on his leg-----“

“Oh my God! Am the one that cause this----“Somia screamed.

“Those people really wanted to kill him, even they could think that they have succeeded. So with this, police must interfere in it because it’s attempted murder case”

“Thank you very much doctor, but we don’t want to have anything to do with police. Just make sure that my brother is fine” Somia said with low voice.

“Am sorry, police must interfere in this and we have called them already. It’s late now but they will be here tomorrow morning!”

“Alright Sir, but how is he?” Semirat asked with low voice.

“The operation is still going on, I am sorry I can’t say anything for now” Semirat rubbed Somia on her shoulder and calm her down.

“Just came to tell you this, I am going back!” The doctor turned back as he took a step.

“Calm down okay, tell mummy too to calm down. He is alive, and the operations too will be successful by God grace!”

“Ameen! Thank you!” Semirat showed appreciations to the doctor and the man left.

“Let’s go and stay with Mother, and tell her that Ibrahim is alive” Semirat held Somia’s hand and taking away from that place.

Two of them entered the room that Somia’s mother was, and met her on the floor still crying. Somia and Semirat walked closer to her, held her two hands and raised her up. They made her to sit on chair and kneeling down with her.

“Doctor confirmed it now that he is alive, and promise that the operations too will be successful” Somia said with low voice.

“So rest your mind Ma, and stop crying” Semirat said and wiped the tears from her eye with her hand.

“Thank you! So how about the money?” Somia’s mother asked with low voice.

“I have deposited three hundred thousand---------“Somia was talking when Semirat speaks.

“We have deposited one million naira, so don’t worry ma” Somia was so surprised as Semirat said so, she didn’t know that she added seven hundred thousand to it.

“You deposited as well, thank you very much----“Somia said with low voice.

“No stop that!” Semirat said with low voice.

Sound of the door opened and closed. Strong and other boys entered the living, and met Somia’s uncle there sitting on the chair.

“The task had be carried out, we have killed him” Strong said with low voice.

“And where is the car that you used?” Somia’s uncle asked with low voice.

“We have disposed it, and it had been packed with other cars that will leave this country today” Strong replied.

“I thought you will bring that car back to this house, and I will correct you by killing you too”

“This is not my first time working with you Sir, can’t make that kind of mistake” Strong said with low voice, when other guys were just looking and didn’t say a word.

“Tomorrow morning you will take Yusufar and that woman to airport, they must leave tomorrow and go back to London”

“Alright Sir! As you said” Strong said with low voice.

“She is going with one of my private jet, so give her the one that I just brought. You know those ones are for business and there are some secret things in them”

“I understand Sir, and as you said Sir!” Strong said with low voice.

“That is good, so you can go now” He said with low voice.

“Good night Sir!” All of them said with low voice, bow for him and going out one after the other. Sound of the door closed after few minutes.

Somia, Semirat and other were in the room sitting on different chairs and looking, all of them were so calm and praying for Ibrahim.

Sound of the curtain draw and the same doctor entered, all of them got up as they saw him entering and standing at where they were.

“Well! I am happy to tell you that the operation is successful and Ibrahim is fine!” Somia hugged their mother and all of them were very happy.

“So can I see him? Can we see him?” Somia’s mother asked with curious.

“Not today Ma, he needs to rest very well. Tomorrow, maybe in afternoon. The nurses will tell you that Ma!” The man said with low voice.

“Thank you very much Doctor!” Somia said with loud voice, and very happy.

“You are welcome! Tomorrow you can talk to him, so be happy and cheer up” The man said with smile on his face.

“Police too will be here tomorrow as well; take care Ma!” The man said with smiles and leaving the room.

“Thank you Allah!” Somia’s mother fell on the floor as the doctor left, knelt down and showing appreciation to God. Semirat, Somia and Nibia were looking at her and smiling.
