The customer quickly covered her face with her jacket that was hanging carelessly on her hand. Elisha smiled devilishly before walking up to her. She wanted to remove the suit but she dragged it with her. She felt she would leave her be if she wasn't able to remove it from her hand but Elisha persisted until she got it and she fell down.
"I must be a fool dragging with a slot,this smelly jacket" She said with her eyes burning with intense anger.
With no feelings of remorse, she threw the jacket on the floor and stepped on it with her stilettos.The workers exchanged glances and mocked. The lady stared at her with anger stirring up in her eyes.
"Bitch!" She spat on the floor.
Elisha walked up to her majestically, lifted up her chin and looked into her eyes as if threatening her. Reciprocating, the lady also stared at her angrily. This spurred Elisha's anger the more that she gave her a befitting slap that sent her head almost knocking the tiled floor.
"Don't be silly!" She muttered angrily
"And the next time I see you with my man, I will butcher you" She threatened and ordered the security men to carry her out.They carried her out like a baby even when she was struggling to be freed.The workers were standing, covering their mouth with their hands in order not to laugh. "I guess you don't have enough work to do. Or do you want lose your job?" "No ma "They chorused.
They ran back to their respective post and she went back to her office fulfilled. Few hours later, she went for lunch and had to go pick up Ryan in school. The school was a very big luxurious kindergarten. Ryan was waiting outside with some other kids of his age. Some were playing games on their tabs while some were busy running after each other. However, Ryan was with his friend Bella with his bags, talking so loudly,. "My mum is a good cook and she loves my dad" He blabbered excitedly "Ryan. My mum cooked yesterday and dad didn't like it. He left the food untouched" She said sadly
"Ohh.. sorry. Did you get to have dinner yesterday?" Ryan asked with a drowned happy face.
"Yes"Bella jumped excitedly."Daddy prepared us something. My dad is a good cook but he beat my mum"
The happiness disappeared again.
"My dad will never beat my mum! That's so bad of your dad" Ryan said.
Then, he sighted his mum's car, he excitedly ran to the front of the car. Elisha who was on a phone call with one of her customers couldn't fathom what was happening even though the other kids stood still and screamed. It was too late. Ryan was lying flat on his back unconscious before Elisha could realize what was happening. She ran out of her car shivering with her phone in her hand. Frightenedly, she carried Ryan to the passenger's seat not even knowing she dropped her phone. She drove recklessly to the hospital, looking left and right to be sure of a nearby hospital. She was able to sight one small one. She carried him and knocked the small black gate ferociously before she knew it was opened. Her leg jumped in and ran as fast it could carried her into the hospital . It was the reception she entered first.No one was at the reception. She was shouting Ryan's name loudly when a nurse came out.
"Madam! How may I help you?" The nurse said staring at her as she was jittery all over.
"He got hit by a car"
"I'm so sorry Madam. As you can see..."
"See what? I will pay any amount. How much should I pay?"
"Ma. There's no bed , not even a doctor to attend to him. They are all busy"
"No. please . Ryan must not die. I can't carry him back" She begged on her knees in tears with Ryan lifeless in her hands.
"I'm so sorry ma. I really love to help you but there's nothing I can do" The nurse said with concerns written all over her face before taking her leave. Elisha ran after her with tears but it was too late that she couldn't see anybody again. She ran out with her boy and put him in the passenger seat again before she jumped in the driver's seat looking for her phone to call the family doctor.
It was then she realized she dropped her phone. For her to drive from there to the family hospital would take thirty minutes. With the intent of getting there in twenty minutes, she zoomed of recklessly to the main road, continually checking Ryan at the back.She was almost there, when she realized Ryan was convulsing.
"Ryan. Stay with mum please" "Ryan! She turned back, all hands still on the wheel, not noticing the truck coming. She looked at the front and noticed what was happening. She stepped on the brake frightenedly, trying to change direction of the wheel but it was too late. She ran into the truck who gave it a good beating. The truck crossed to the other side, also Elisha's car oozing out smoke from all directions.
The truck that had ran to the other side was running into other cars that were coming which made the road a mess.Elisha had hit her head on the steering and had blood flowing down her head which was rested against the steering. Ryan on the other hand was not on the seat anymore. He was hooked in between one side of the car.
Within few seconds, people had gathered around and started dialing emergency number. Some were trying to help Ryan out. It took some minutes before the ambulance got to the scene. Ryan and Elisha were rushed to the hospital and it happened to be their family hospital. The other victims had minor injuries so they were taken care of at the spot. Elisha and Ryan were taken into the emergency ward.
