[STORY] MILLION TEARS – Sister’s Betrayal (Final Episode 17)

Episode 17. (Last Episode)

We got to the hospital and the lady was rushed to emergency room
She was injured so badly and I felt so bad for her
The man that hit this lady beyond recognition will never smell good thing in his life
I said amidst tears

Not so long, my husband came out from the doctor’s office with his countenance changed

Sweetheart, hope all is well with her? I asked and he nodded

Yes love but she has fallen into coma
I just pray she wakes up so she can go back to her people. My husband said and I nodded painfully

That man that killed the innocent baby and injured this woman beyond recognition will never smell good thing in his life
Sorrow will remain his portion forever
I hardly curse people but this particular one has so gotten into me
I hate seeing my fellow human being in pain. I said and my husband held my hand and we left together

Did you tell the doctor that we will be leaving? I asked staring at him

Yes
We will come back to check on her tomorrow or next
You need rest
You have over stressed yourself a lot today
Let’s go home
You need to rest. He said and we left

***************

I just hope she is not your sister Ella. Joyce said and I frowned

What are you saying? She can’t be Ella.
Are you telling me that I can’t recognize my own sister?
She is not Ella. I replied furiously

I just hope so. Glory said and Joyce nodded

Exactly my thoughts
Joyce added and I eyed them

I just thank God Fred asked me to go shopping with him
God just wanted to use us to save that lady
You need to see the way the car grinded her little baby
The innocent baby died painfully
Ever since yesterday, I have lost appetite for food
Whenever I remember the corpse of the innocent child, I lose appetite immediately
How I wish we all saw this together
I said in tears and Joyce and Glory stared at me

I can relate
Pregnant women feel too emotional
Next time, don’t see what you can’t get over.
Remember you are pregnant and you need to eat a lot of food cos of your baby
So try eating something
Just for your own good
Joyce said and I nodded

I will try! I replied and they both laughed and left me perplex

***************

Sweetheart any good news from the hospital? I asked my husband immediately he stepped into the room

She woke up from coma but the doctor said she was injured badly on her head and it affected her brain and he don’t think if she can ever be normal again.
Fred said and I burst out crying

God why? God why?
She was just hustling to feed herself and her little baby
Why did she end up this way?
I said crying loudly

I can understand why you are feeling like this
Indeed blood is thicker than water
Fred said and I was confused

What do you mean sweetheart? I asked wiping my tears

I am just returning from the hospital
I went inside to check on her and she asked me to go

The doctor said she doesn’t allow anyone to enter there
That treating her is even by false
She keeps shouting she don’t want to see anyone except her sister Chioma
She wants to see Mira not the doctor
I went inside to confirm and she did the same thing
She threw her pillow at me and asked me to get out
She don’t wants to see her baby or anyone apart from her sister Chioma Miranda
So I assumed she is Ella your blood sister. Fred said and I closed my ear

Whaaaaat! Noooooo!
Fred please tell me you are just assuming. I said shedding tears

That is why I said I assumed
You know I have never met her before
But from the picture of her you showed me, she looks exactly like her

oh nooooooo! Ella I never wanted to set my eyes on you again
did fate actually bring us together again?
I hate you Ella
I said scratching my head in a confused state and Fred came close to me and held my in the shoulder

Love, I think you need to forgive her
karma have dealt with her already
she deserves everything she went through
I only feel for the little baby that died painfully
this time, she needs you to recover cos all she keeps talking about is you and you alone
she doesn’t even remember her child
Fred said and I felt pained

oh no. this isn’t happening
can I ever forgive her?
I asked wiping my tears

Yes you can
No offence is too much too forgive
we need to go back to the hospital now
Fred said and I nodded

I called Joyce and Glory and asked them to meet me at the hospital and we left

We got to the hospital and Glory and Joyce came at the same time

I asked Joyce to go in first to confirm what Fred was talking about

I looked through the window and truly it was Ella

Get out
get out
I knew you somewhere right?
but you are not Mira
Get out
are you Mira
I want to see my sister Chioma Mira
I want to see her. She said and threw her pillow on her and Joyce came out

Glory went in and Ella burst out laughing

Glory .
Glory help me to get Mira plesse
she is your friend
I want to see her
I knew I offended you too but please I need to seek Mira’s forgiveness first. Please
Ella said and started crying

I went inside with Joyce and Fred and Ella saw me and went on her knees immediately

sister Miranda, please
please, please and please forgive me
I know I don’t deserve any forgiveness but for the sake of our late parents
please find a place in your heart to forgive me
I am not asking you to accept me back
All I need is your forgiveness and nothing more
please sister Miranda
I have suffered a lot for this past one year and I knew that I was only being paid back for what I made you go through
I lost my baby too
please forgive me. Ella said in deep tears and I hugged her back in deep tears

It’s okay
I have forgiven you from the depth of my heart
I said and she hugged me wiping her tears

Glory, forgive me please. She pleaded

If your sister can forgive you, then who am I not to forgive you? Glory asked and hugged her

we sat down and I introduced Fred to her

she narrated all that transpired between her and Jimmy and I felt bad for her
I promised her that I will pay her house rent and start up a small business for her but she must not come to my matrimonial home until I trust her again
She thanked me happily and we all left

***********

Three weeks later, I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and we lived happily ever after
