LIFE IN HAWAII “Ladies and gentlemen, Dream Airline welcomes you to Hawaii. The local time is 3pm. For your safety and the safety of others around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle(s) clear until we are parked at the gate”. Those were the actual words that jolted Mrs. Hampton back to reality, the exact words she heard as the plane lowered to land in Hawaii. “I repeat, For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle(s) clear until we are parked at the gate” the voice said again. She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief she was holding and applied a little make up to her oily face. Her luggage were offloaded and she looked around since she was new in that location and had never been there. Barbara had sent her the address earlier, so she walked up to one of the cab men to show them the description she had written down but he did not seem to understand what Mrs. Hampton was s
FEELING AT HOMEBarbara, your daughter is so pretty. Congratulations” she said. “Thank you mum, how is dad? he has not called me yet" she said with a frown, she was obviously not happy. "Your dad is fine, he sends his love" Mrs. Natalie said, she could read the expression on Barbara's face and knew she was not happy. "Your dad has you in his heart and he will call you soon" she pulled her close. "Now cheer up, okay" she tried to make Barbara smile.Barbara managed a smile. "I know the journey has been long and tired, you must be tired. You need to go to your room and freshen up and then Louise will make you something to eat” Barbara told her mum. “Yes baby, I am really tired and need to rest” she said. “,Okay mum, Louise will take you to your room now. Just rest properly, we will talk later” The young Mrs. Gillian told her mother. " Sure" she smiled and then she looked at her grand child. “Hey baby, don’t miss your grand mother too much. I will see you soon” she said as she got up t
MOTHERLY DUTIESBarbara and the old alpha got to the hospital to get their new born daughter, Sophia or rather Sophie. Barbara drove, she didn’t want any tongue wagging as Mr. Rudolph was quite a talkative. They got to the reception and were attended to by the receptionist who directed them on what to do. “Doctor Allen is not around, he stepped out to take care of something. Please kindly wait for him” she pointed towards a very nice settee designed for personalities like them. Maya supported the old alpha to the couch and helped him sit down while she sat close to him, Clara also sat close to them.Doctor Allen came into the hospital about 30 minutes later. “Hello Alpha John and Mrs. Gillian, welcome. I’m so sorry to keep you waiting, the receptionist called me and I just had to leave whatever I am doing to rush here” he said. “Its okay, can we see our baby now?” Maya asked, so eager to see her baby. “Sure, lets go” he said. Maya Gillian helped the old alpha up and they followed th
BACK FROM THE HOSPITALThey got inside the car and headed home, Maya sat at the back seat with the old alpha and Clara drove this time since Maya Gillian was carrying the baby who was busy sucking her mouth, she was definitely hungry. “I will be stopping at the mall to get some baby stuff” Maya informed Clara. “Okay mum” Clara said and continued driving. They got to the mall and Clara halted the car. “We are here mum” she said. Maya raised up her head and looked, it was a Mall but not the one she wanted to shop in. “No….not this one,” she said. “Still go further” Maya Gillian uttered. “okay mum” Clara said and started the car again, then she continued driving. “That’s it, stop” Maya said as Clara slowed down and then stopped the car. “This is the mall” she pointed towards a tall building which had “baby and me” written on it. It was a Mall that dealt with baby stuff and the likes, formula for new born, food for toddlers, supplements for babies or children, baby care products, diape
THE SURGERYThe day for the surgery had finally come. Sun rays spread through the room through the well hanged curtains in the old alpha's room, he stretched himself on the bed and lay down for a while. The Adolf alpha squeezed his eyes tightly and then opened them slightly, he realised that Maya was not on the bed. He managed to sit down and mumbled something, he still felt like sleeping. John Gillian yawned again, feeling much awake. “I am sure Maya is with Sophie, she no longer has time for me” he said. He reached out for his stick close to his bed, he then leaned on it and helped himself up. “This will be the last time I will use this stick” he said to himself. John Gillian put on his footwear and headed straight to the bathroom to brush his teeth and have a bath, his surgery was slated for 7:00 am and he had to be in the hospital before that time, so he had to be fast.The old alpha had just started cleaning his teeth when he heard Sophie's voice, she was crying. “What could be
THE SURGERY CONTINUESThe old man and his family got to the hospital, it was a good thing that he was about to get a leg surgery, at least he would be able to move around without support. Clara and Sophie stayed in the car while Maya followed her husband inside the hospital and then to the orthopedic surgeon's office. The old alpha's wife already directed Clara on what to do so she was not scared of anything. Maya Gillian knocked on the door and there was no response, she waited for a while and knocked again. “I said, come in” they heard a male voice say. He probably answered the first time and they did not hear. Maya Gillian pulled the door knob gently and it opened. They saw Doctor Gerald working on something on his laptop. “Hello sir and ma'am, please have a seat” he smiled and directed them. “Thank you doctor” Maya Gillian said smiling as well as the old man.“I remember, your surgery is today and that’s what I am trying to work on. Please give me a few minutes” he said calmly. “
HE IS AWAKEMaya Gillian was excited that the surgery was successful, she rushed to the car to share the good news with Clara who was taking care of baby Sophie. Clara was surprised to see her so fast but this time she was smiling. “Mum, you seem excited. Is everything okay?” Clara said as she cleaned Sophie up, she wanted to change her diapers. “The surgery was successful and your father will be discharged in a few days, I think it’s worth celebrating” Maya Gillian said. “Oh my world, that’s great news” Clara scream out of excitement. “It is surely worth celebrating mum” she added. “Yeah, so we are going home now so I can prepare thee Adolf's favourite dish so that he will have something to eat when he wakes up” the old man's wife said and Clara nodded in agreement. “Mom, should I drive or….?” “Yeah, you drive while I take care of Sophie” Maya interrupted. “Okay mum” Clara gave Sophie to her mom who was seating at the back seat with her. The young Miss. Clara then came down from th
FEELING BETTERMaya and Clara got to room 005 in the male ward after looking for it for some time. “Hold on, I just want to be sure before we barge into someone else” Maya said to Clara, she peeped through the transparent half glass door and saw her husband. The old man was sleeping beautifully and his knee had a bandage on it, she smiled on seeing him but wondered why the bandage was on his knees. “Maybe that is why the doctor said the case is complicated, maybe they did a knee surgery” she thought but waved it off, after all her husband is fine. “He is right there but sleeping, let’s just go inside gently” Maya said as she turned to look at Clara. “Okay mum, I cannot wait to see dad” Clara said excited. “Come on” Maya uttered as she pulled the door knob gently opening the door. She walked inside the room and Clara followed, Sophie was sleeping so she was not a problem. Maya sat on the little chair close to John Gillian's bed, she looked at him and realised how beautiful the old
