I could hear faint sounds of how people tried to pull me out of the car wreckage. I still remembered although not vividly how I was put in another car and rushed to a nearby hospital. Some people recognized me and soon the information reached my parents and family that I’ve been involved in a ghastly motor accident that claimed 6 persons lives.
I was just fortunate to be alive. I was rushed to the emergency unit. In few minutes my parents and family members rushed to the hospital including Amanda and her father. I could hear voices around me and I felt bad. “so I’m still alive? Why didn’t I just die? God why did you spare my life?”. I really wanted to die and be gone. After all I’ve lost everything that brought me happiness and joy, Amara. I was transfered to the intensive care unit and a special and private ward was paid for me to stay all alone.
The best doctors were called to handle my case. I had serious bruises on my head and leg. But the worst of all the injuries I sustained was the damage to my right kidney. An iron had pierced me through and I was bleeding and was entering a coma. It was by a miracle that I had even survived. My mom cried uncontrollably as well as my sisters and my cousin sister. Amanda cried like never before and she now faced her dad and my family to blame them for what had happened to me.
They in turn blamed her for all the pain I have gone through… “if only you were mature you wouldn’t have slapped the innocent poor girl and call us. You need to grow up. We know you need him to marry you but you should learn to be patient and make him love you. You keep calling us every now and then over any slight provocation. You and your dad keep mounting unnecessary pressure on us” my mom said with tears from her eyes… The senator Interrupts her “it’s all your fault.
You were supposed to sit him down and tell him everything we did just to make sure he is prepared to marry my daughter. You people should have guided him through it and not allow one poor wretched girl take my daughter’s place… You all sat there and allowed him take the wrong step”. My dad cuts in “Mr Senator pls it’s high time we let this go. If he is not interested in marrying your daughter you can take back your house and car.
My son’s happiness and future is more important than any material thing. Please let him make his choice and don’t force anything or anybody on him again… Even this your uncultured daughter “… The senator lands my father a dirty slap and says.” I’ll cause more damage for you and your family if your son survives this and does not marry my daughter. I’ll bring your family down to their knees.

Don’t ever dare me or you would regret it”…my spirit felt like getting up to slap that senator. The doctors then asked them all to leave. I was moved to the theater so that the iron rod that had pierced my right kidney can be pulled off.
The surgery took many hours. The pain was unbearable but the damage has been done. My right kidney was gone and my left kidney had bruises. I needed a kidney if I’m to stay alive. The doctors broke this news to my family. They all cried the more. My Dad went on his knees and begged God to come down and save me. That man hardly prays but this life or death situation did make him remember God.
My mom didn’t know the way to go, whether back or front and out of frustration she landed Amanda a dirty slap… “you caused all this, you did” and my mom started crying. She cried and cried. The doctor continued :”please let’s put ourselves together. Your son needs a transplant as soon as possible and it’s unfortunate we don’t even have any spare kidney left. I’ve made calls to other hospitals and they hope to get back to us.
But we won’t just wait for them. We need to do something as fast as possible or that young man would be gone forever. We need to check if any of you have a matching kidney for him.” After a few minutes Amanda came from the room crying “it can’t be me pls. There must be another way. I can’t possibly give him one of my kidneys to survive. I know I love him but this is so far from it. Pls there must be another way.
I can’t do this” and she left the hospital. My mom ran after her with my sisters “Amanda pls help our dying son. The doctor checked all our kidneys and found yours to match. You know if it were any of us we would have agreed to give it to him. Pls do this and prove your love for him”… She pushed my mom away and she moved so fast.
My sisters and mom were left stranded. My dad and the senator left to seek for a solution. I was left to fight for My life. My little cousin sister picked my mom’s phone and called Amara and she picked “hello aunty Amy” she said with tears running down her cheeks. We are in the hospital and my cousin your lover is dying. He needs a kidney transplant or else he would die soon”… Amara replied :”after he and his wicked family had my mom and siblings and even Ijay put in prison for no just reason”… Pls don’t call me again…”
Few hours later I was awake. I saw people surrounding me and shouting “thank God, thank Almighty God”… The surgery was successful and the kidney transplant has been done. Wow… I then saw Amara’s siblings and her mother all present and crying. Her mom was rolling on the floor. Ijay was crying too. I Couldn’t move. Then my little cousin sister walked to me and said “Bro… Bro… Broth… Brother… Aunty Amara is dead. She gave you one of her kidney and the doctor said she didn’t make it”… This is unbelievable. It’s not possible.
Amara can’t be dead. What is happening? I tried to stand up but Ijay tried to stop me : “the doctor said you shouldn’t stand up because you just finished your surgery and you need time to heal. I am so sorry my dear. Amara came to the hospital and when she learnt of what was needed to save your life she willingly gave her own kidney. We thought she would make it but there was a complication and she died “… I looked at my dad, mom and siblings… Why did they allow Amara do this… I cried like a baby. The senator tried to sympathize with me and told me that he has released Amara’s family and that he would do what he can to make sure that they were okay.
Then my mom with tears in her eyes gave me Amara’s last words written as a letter to me : “I’ve come to love you and life without you would be meaningless and empty. True love is your ability to lay down your life for that person you love. Should I not make it out pls take care of my family. I love you and would forever do. Pls don’t cry for me and don’t miss me “…
Oh God! What is life going to be like without Amara? Then I fell into a deep sleep again due to the anesthesia I was given… Oh how I wish I would not wake up again so that I’ll go and join Amara…
Hang on for the Final Episode ..Â
