Clara went with the nurse , who took a blood sample from Clara and ran a test. Clara returned to the waiting room and tried to calm down Helma. Helma had sweats all over her body and her eyes swollen already. The nurse got back and inhaled "miss, your blood group does not match with his. We need to get another donor" she stated. Helma cleaned her eyes and responsed quickly "me. I can donate mine. I am a universal donor" she said rushing to the nurse.The nurse nodded and asked Helma to follow her. She ran the same test on Helma and it was a match. Helma sat down on a bed and the nurse connected the necessary equipments for the transfusion. An hour later, she was adviced to rest for a while. Clara walked into the room Helma was and sat on the chair beside her. " Are you alright? " Clara asked softly. Helma nodded weakly. Clara kept quiet and looked at Jay who gave her a nod to go ahead. " I am sorry for everything Helma. I am sorry for putting you in danger and for bullying you" Clara
The Doctor followed Helma and examined Donald before leaving. Helma stood beside Donald holding her tears. She was excited and moody at the same time. The doctor came with another doctor who was a middle aged man. "Good morning Mr Donald, I am Dr Simon and we will walking through your recovery process together" he introduced with a smile. He examined Donald and hit his pencil hard on Donald's bandaged leg. Donald hissed in pain in response. The doctor nodded and removed his glasses, he turned to Helma and asked if she was family. Donald nodded and held her hands. "Ok then, you had a minor fracture at your left shoulder and a dislocated leg bone. You will be fine in no time I promise" Dr Simon announced smiling. Donald nodded and requested for water. The doctor nodded and walked out."You didn't sleep mama. You are having dark circles" Donald said trying to sit up but he hissed in pain. Helma immediately helped him to seat up. She adjusted the hospital bed with the control which helpe
Helma was downstairs with Mary making dinner when her phone rang, it was Donald. "Hey..." Donald said softly. Helma blushed and responded hi. "Where have you been?, It's 6pm already and I can't see you anywhere" Donald nagged like a child. Helma chulked and promised him she was bringing him Dinner soon. Donald hissed and pleaded with her to hurry "can I get fruit parfait for dessert?. Come quick, this weird nurse is creeping me out" Donald whispered.Helma hunged up and started making parfait for Donald. "somebody is finally getting her nails messed up" Mary teased. Helma and Clara had ordered a private pedicure section while the interior decorators were working. After getting her nails done, Helma had refused to ruin it by making dinner with Mary. She offered to keep her company instead. Helma laughed at Mary's words and continued chopping. "You love him Helma" Mary said out of the blue. Helma dropped the knife surprised at Mary's direct words. Mary nodded her head and resounded it
Epilogue One week later, Donald could stand on his own without support. He could walk around with clutches as his aid. Donald was discharged from the hospital after cross examinations and x-rays performed on his dislocated joints and Bones. Helma and Clara helped him to the car and drove home. Donald got home and inhaled. "Damn! I miss this place. I got sick inhaling bleach and disinfectant" he said causing everyone to laugh. Donald had lunch with Clara, Mary, Helma, uncle Billy and Andrea. It was a fun day for Donald, his uncle had teased and pranked the hell out of him. After the long day, Donald and Helma saw the couple to their car. Uncle Billy and Andrea were staying at their penthouse some kilometers away. "Get those feets walking soon boy, this old man needs a vacation from work" uncle Billy winked before driving off. Helma tried to take Donald inside, but he insisted she walked with him around the garden. Helma helped him sit at the bench in the garden, before sitting besid
It was bright Saturday morning, Helma woke up in her one bedroom apartment excited .She hummed a song softly while made her bed. She walked to the kitchen and microwaved a cupcake, she lit a candle on it and beamingly wispered "happy birthday Helma". In her pjamas, Helma did a small happy dance. Helma cleaned her small apartment and got ready for work. She worked at a coffee shop to support her sweetheart Kelvin pay for a house, so they can start a life together. She picked her phone and texted Kelvin "did somebody forget my birthday? See you later baby. You owe me dinner". She picked her purse and went to the coffee shop down the street. At work, Helma received gifts from her colleagues. Helma's smile lasted throughout her work hours. She had hopes and expectations from Kelvin. He gifted her a bracelet last year and she couldn't wait to unbox her present this year. After work, Helma stoped at a store to get a new dress. The green dress rested on her body perfectly. It was eve
Helma left Kelvin's apartment devastated and in tears. She walked the lonely street alone in the dark. She thought about her life, her student loan that she hasnt been able to pay up and now Kelvin has sold the house they were paying for, putting her into more debts. Helma broke down and sobbed loudly in the street. She stopped a taxi and asked him to take her to the nearest bar. Sitted in the bar, Helma ordered the strongest cocktails. She had shots upon shots of vodka. "Why would a beautiful lady be drinking too much" a calm voice said beside Helma. She looked towards him, and saw a walking god! Helma drolled. She saw the most handsome man she has ever met. He looked like he walked out of a model magazine. He chuckled and sat opposite her. Helma inhaled his strong perfume. She looked at his perfect jawline, broad shoulders and smiled sheeply at him. She sipped her cocktail looking into his eyes. The man ordered a vodka and smiled back at Helma. In her drunken state, she asked
Weeks passed and Helma could not be more devastated. Her betrayal from Kelvin, her piling debts and her inability to secure a job was a heavyweight on her shoulder. Helma wore a blue top and a black mom jean and headed to the grocery store to get groceries for dinner. On her way, she received a mail from D. B. C tech groups. Helma screamed with excitement "Yes!! ". She quickly sat on a bench by the walkway and read the mail in details. " Dear Applicant, You have been been selected for the job position as a sales representative. You can login by clicking here or go to D.B.C/jobinter.com on your browser to get full details on your selected interview date. Be reminded that your reference letter is attached to this mail sent to you. Best Regards". Helma's face was beaming with joy and gladness. This was the first opportunity she has gotten after graduation to put her certificate to use
Beep, beep, beep!! Helma's alarm buzzed. She hurriedly left her bed and said a short prayer. She ignored the uneasiness in her belly and focused on coming back home an employed lady. She freshened up, spent time heat pressing her hair. She woke up early enough to do so. She rolled her hair from regular straight to spiral curls. She wore her outfit, heels and her light make-up to match. She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't be more proud of her parents for creating such a beauty in nothing less than an Hr. She placed her printed reference letter in her purse, did a 360 for the mirror, took her phone and headed for D. B. C TECH GROUPS. All through her time in the taxi, she kept repeating to herself "Helma, you are intelligent, you will get the job. You are beautiful, bold and blessed". "We are here ma" from the taxi driver brought her back to reality. She paid him with half the money she had left. She inhaled sharply "when I get the job, I will earn more". She stood in
