The bridegroom - Season 1 - Episode 32

Ambrose went back to Lagos and informed Madam Nkechi what had happened to Chioma. She insisted on going with him to Abuja to stay with her.

All his efforts to stop her was abortive, so they both came back to the hospital.

When Madam Nkechi saw her daughter, she cried her heart out but the doctors told her she would be sent out of the ward if she continued to cry.

She stopped the noise, but couldn’t stop the tears….

MR AMBROSE: mama what are you trying to do?

MADAM NKECHI: I want to give her a strip wash?

MR AMBROSE: don’t worry mama, I’ll do that but only after the doctors have have done their morning routine with her.

MADAM NKECHI: hmmmm! My strong girl is now being washed like a kid???

God!!!! The God of widows please come to my aid. Restore my daughter. I don’t want any other result??

MR AMBROSE: it’s okay mama, she’ll be fine.

JUDITH: Good morning, mama

MADAM NKECHI: good morning o! I can’t thank you enough for all you did and still doing for my dauhter. May God bless you ??

JUDITH: the only blessing I need from God is to see my friend back on her feet. I don’t want anything else?

MADAM NKECHI: he has no option o! Hmmmm. Chioma you looked forward to this child, now he is here and you can’t even hold him!???

JUDITH: mama, I’ve come to pick you up let’s go to my house so you freshen up, eat and get some sleep then we come back

MADAM NKECHI: hehehe! Me eat??? Joke! I have no appetite my dear. With my little girl like this? No, nne. Thank you. I will be here looking into her face until God does something.?

MR AMBROSE: Mama, please go with her. The doctors will be here soon and they will send all of us out anyways, So they can do whatever they need to do with her and it takes about thirty minutes daily.

DOCTOR: (walks in) good morning, everyone.

MR AMBROSE: good morning, doctor

DOCTOR: ummm! Lots of sad and teary faces here! Not sure I’ve met you ?(referring to Madam Nkechi)

MR AMBROSE: she is my mother in law. She came with me on Saturday

MADAM NKECHI: (kneels in front of the doctor and held his legs) please my son, save my daughter. Her father died when she was only five and since then, she has been my only friend, daughter and the essence of my existence.

We went through a lot together.

She hawked with Me, cried with me when her uncles persecuted us so much. She lived on the streets of Lagos with me for six months before we could pay for a place.

I managed to send her abroad to study because her father always said he would send her abroad because she was very brilliant. She came back with a first class and has since then brought me nothing but Joy and fulfilment.

She gave me two beautiful grand daughters and now a grand son.

Tell me what life would be without her???
Please my son, don’t let it happen???

Don’t let my world crumble?

DOCTOR: phewwwwww! This is the part of this job I hate! Mama, I wish I can make you any promises than to assure you that I and my colleagues will do everything we can to help her. But the decision on what the outcome would be, lies in the hands of fate.
Erm, Mr Ambrose, the nurses will come around soon and get her ready for the surgery. Unfortunately, the fluids have not drained from the report I read from the doctors who worked last night. A brain surgery has become mandatory.

Just to remind you that this is a six hour surgery. So you may want to go home and get some rest and come back.

There’s no need hanging around. The baby has been washed and fed. But we will bring him to his mum and place him on her chest for at least 10 minutes before we take her to the operating theatre. This we do daily so they can be bonding. Very essential.

Yeah! So, the nurses will be here soon!

MR AMBROSE: doctor, when are you going to give me the letter she wrote then?
