CHAPTER SIX
THE ACCIDENT
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER, 4, 16:00hrs
With the recent development, Henry thought it a wise decision that he and Naomi had their first date at a cozy restaurant, where they can have some time together. So the next day he showed up at her residence.
“Hello, girl, how are you today” Henry started.
“I’m fine” she said as she hugged him.
“I thought of you all night” she added
“Honestly, last night would have been better with you by my side” he said with so much passion in his eyes.
“What about a date this evening at the River Café. You and I alone spending some good time” he asked as he stroked her hair.
“Oh that’ll be great. I’ll just go in and freshen up. I’ll join you in five minutes” she said and hurried into her room with excitement. Five minutes later, the maiden stepped out with elegance and beauty written all over her. Her face glowed with a beam in her silk red sleeveless gown which accentuated her hips and firm breasts, revealing her cleavage. Instantly Henry was dazzled by the warmth of her smile and her feminine features. He was speechless and could not help giving her a kiss on her sensual lips, before the two left the room hand in hand.
Henry and Naomi were just about getting across the dual carriage way when an unforeseen oncoming red Toyota saloon car on a speed above the 50 mph sped limit, ran into them. The two fell to the ground with a crash and immediately become unconscious in a pool of blood. Shortly after, a crowd gathered at the scene and someone called the Metropolitan Ambulance who arrived in a short time and rushed the victims to the hospital. Immediately with the aid of neighbors who witnessed the accident, Naomi’s aunt was contacted and so were the victim’s parents. They had to fly over to New York
In the Doctor’s office, a conversation between the Doctor and both parents was held.
“Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Philip, and Mr. and Mrs. Graham. You see the impact of the crash on your children’s brains launched them into a Coma, and I’m afraid they’ll be in it for the next two weeks. They’ll also need an urgent blood transfusion” the Doctor a Spanish slender- bodied young man in his early thirties, explained as he adjusted his rimless medicated spectacles which always slides down his tender pointed nose. His eyes seemed to have been sunken by years of extensive study of medical books.
“Listen Doctor” Mrs. Graham responded.
“Money is not an issue here. Please do all you can to save my daughter’s life, she’s all I’ve got” she continued.
“Don’t worry, we’ll do all we can to save their lives” the doctor said assuredly.
However on the bright side, the accident was a good avenue for both families to get to know each other better and decided that if God sees them through all this, they were going to organize a family get together after their children’s graduation. Henry’s parents also discovered a lot about Naomi’s health including her genetic heart problem, which Henry’s mum initially saw as a possible reason why the two cannot be together. While in the hospital, Naomi was informed of Jerry’s arrest. He was accused of raping and sexually assaulting a fourteen year old girl in his neighborhood. They were never made for each other, Naomi thought to herself.
