PIZZA GIRL
AUNT RITA
“Doctor please you are scaring me.” I said as soon as we got into how office.
“Don’t be scared Ma’am. I just didn’t want to break the disturbing need out there because of the boy.” He said and I got more scared.
“Disturbing news? What do you mean?” John asked.
“Please sit.” He said and I sat down quickly, so did John. He looked so scared too.
“Doctor please tell us what’s going on.” I said trying not to freak out.
“When your daughter was brought in, we ran some tests and these are the results.” He said passing some papers to us.
“Please don’t do this. I can’t read anything now. Please just tell me.” I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.
“When we ran the tests, we saw poison in her system. It was beginning to eat her up, thank God he brought her here early.” He said.
“What?” I whispered trying to take all of it in.
“The poison in her stomach has stayed an hour before she was brought here. I am happy they arrived on time. She is out of danger now, but her intestine is kinda damaged and needs time to heal.” He said and more tears rolled down my eyes.
“God how is this possible?” I whispered In tears and John held me by the hand pretty tight.
“She will be here for some days, so you need to tell them the truth.” He said and I nodded slowly. I was dumbfounded, I couldn’t believe what my ears and brain was telling me.
John helped me up and we both walked out of the office.
“Who the hell Poisoned her? I am sure someone at the party did this.” I said and John nodded.
“And we are yet to know that person, and we need to know that, whosoever poisoned her wants her dead. We need to protect her.” He said and I nodded cleaning my tears.
“I just can’t phantom who did this to my daughter. She just wanted to see her father, why would they do that to her?” I asked as we were in sight.
“Mom.” Isaac called running to me.
“Isaac.” I called as we embraced each other.
“What’s wrong with Diana. What’s wrong?” He asked staring into my eyes.
“Isaac, Diana was poisoned. At the party.” I said and he staggered backwards with his eyes widened.
“What?” He asked in a whisper. He was even more surprise than I was when I heard.
“Isaac.” I wanted to touch him but he moved back.
“Tell me she is okay.” He said breathing really hard.
“She is okay. She just needs some days at the hospital. Her intestine were pretty damaged.” John said and he looked down staggering slowly.
“No! No that’s not possible. I was with her.” He said and I rushed to him holding him.
“Isaac you weren’t with her all the time. Someone did this, and we don’t know the person, but one thing I know is that he or she wants her dead.” I said and he bursted into tears as he rested his head in my arms.
“Why would they do that to Diana? Why!! Diana is innocent, she knows nothing.” He mumbled and tears rolled down my eyes as I tapped him.
“She will be fine Isaac. She just needs to be protected. The person that did that is out there somewhere.” I said and he stood up straight.
“I will find the person and kill whosever did this to my Diana.” He said and I shook my head.
“Don’t take the matters into your hands Isaac, we will report it to the police. They will just have to do some research on the house.” John said.
“Her mother can’t know about this.” I said and they looked at me.
“Oh yes she can. Cos if they don’t find what happened at her party yesterday in the next 24 hours, then I will be forced to take things into my hands.” Isaac said walking to the ward where Diana was.
“God, this is so hard.” I said sighing heavily.
“You don’t suspect anyone at that party?” John asked and I sighed sitting on the chair.
“There were many people at the party yesterday. The good ones,the bad ones, those we don’t know, does that know us and those we can never suspect.” I said and he sighed.
“I can’t still figure out why they want to hurt Diana. She was with her father right?” He asked and I nodded.
“But not like one hour after they left. Her father left long before they left the party.” I said still thinking about what the doctor told me.
“She can’t die John. I’m not going to survive it.” Isaac said with his lips shivering.
“She won’t. We would protect her.” He said and I nodded looking at him.
He looked messed up.
