Tomorrow is the end of our Pain which we are facing for last many years. So my dear Son, Don't waste this precious moment. Get Up and Start Preparation of your last educational battle.
at 10 Am. nkechi was making some delicious breakfast for obinna and her eyes were full of tears. She was memorizing something that was very painful for her.
Obinna took the breakfast then taken the blessings of her mother and left for the exam.
After obinna Left, nkechi started her routine work schedule in the home, obinna is about to complete the paper and return to home in next 6 - 7 hours.
While Doing her Work She was Constantly looking into the Wall Clock. There was lots of voice was coming outside of the house. but still, she was able to hear the voice of clock.
Suddenly her neighbour amara Came to her house and they started Gossiping with each other.
Amara: "nkechi, You are so lucky. today your son will complete his Doctor Degree. in few days your son will start to earn money and you will never have to do any Maid - work to live. Appreciate all the efforts you did in past 22 years."
Nkechi: "Not 22 years, it's more than Half Billion Second I have counted of my hardest Life to see this day while speaking this she again got tears in her eye. And today I really Feel hard to pass few thousands Seconds more "
Amara: "you didn't tell me a single time. what happened to you before 22 years"
Nkechi: I'll definitely tell you today, Before 25 years I was leaving on 8 * 8 area single room, I was Serving my Mother - in - law, We were very rich.
my husband had affair with one more lady. I was not aware of that. one day he was on business trip and Found dead in Some Mysterious spot.
That Lady was with him when he was there in another country. What happened God knows only. because after few days that lady married to Her Boyfriend which she was Dating for a long time.
My Husband had named all our property to that lady and she double-crossed him.
My Mother - in - law was suffering from an epileptic seizure and she also died after few days due to it. I lost everything I had. "a Mother, A husband, and all the property."
While talking this to amara few hours passed. So amara told to nkechi that she will come after some time.
Nkechi was free of her work schedule and there are still few hours left of obinna's return to home. She thought let me see my Old photographs to memorize those beautiful days I had.
She taken the ladder, climbs on it and taken out the suitcase which was kept in wardrobe over 12 feet up from the ground.
Obinna is about to come in few minutes, So in hurry, she again climbed a ladder to put back the photograph in the same wardrobe.
While putting it back, mistakenly one more Suitcase which was made of metal fell on her head. her head started bleeding and she becomes unconscious.
She opened her eyes and saw that obinna stood in front of him, along with two doctors,amara, and some other neighbors.
She listened that doctor was saying to obinna that she is in a coma and they can't predict when she will be free of it.
After Few days, Doctor Discharged her and obinna brought her to home.
Neighbors helped obinna in bringing nkechi home and nkechi was knocked on the same bed in front of that same Wall Clock which she was Counting the seconds of her Hardest Life.
Days, Months and Years Passed, obinna married to a Gorgeous Girl. Set up his own Hospital, Blessed with Baby Boy. everything happened in front of nkechi but she was not in that condition to enjoy a single moment of this brand new Happiest Life.
She was in a state where her mind has concentrated only on the Second's thorn of the clock.
She started Praying to God for her Death as now for her to Count that "SECONDS" has become the Worst Counting of seconds of her life.
