Oh my daughter, i don’t know how to thank you, God will bless you for all your sacrifice.

It a pity that …She broke into tears
God have a reason she consoled her.

The couples stood up and left the hospital, Sophie watched them leave. She envied the heart of Elliot mother, some Nigeria women would have wailed and blamed witches for her son predicament but she was different.
She texted her mum she wasn’t coming home, that was the only way she could avoid her mum’s numerous questions, and she put off her phone immediately.

Sophie slept off after praying earnestly for Elliot.

She woke up at 3.am when Elliot had started groaning again
Elly Elly She called him and held his hands
He stopped after some time

Luckily for Sophie his mum had brought provision earlier, she made tea for him. Elliot devoured the bread hungrily, thereafter he gave Sophie the mug.

Thank you phie.

You don’t have to thank me.

I want you to promise me something
Anything. Sophie said camly
Promise me you would be happy, that you would move on
Elly please let don’t talk about that now, let’s make good use of the little days we have left.

Silence enveloped the room, Sophie la!d her head on his chest and they both slept off.

Sophie woke up around 6.am a gave Elly a peck, she noticed he wasn’t breathing, she stood up immediately and checked him.Her fears were
confirmed, Elliot was dead.

She didn’t know when she sat on the floor and started weeping.

Two nurses ran inside the ward, they heard Sophie’s voice. Noise miraim immediately checked Elliot whose body was as cold as ice
she shaked her head sadly
