A week had come and gone and still nothing has been heard from the doctor, Catherine had gone back to meet her and she explained to her that they had to wait till the result is out.Different thoughts built their walls on Michal's mind, she tried and tried not to think of terrible things but her mind wouldn't let her. She made sure she made Mirabella smile every time and anytime she brought up the test topic, she'd quickly cover it up with an entirely different one.She was avoiding it but sooner or later, it would reveal itself."Mirabella, are you sure you're okay?" Lekky asked as they strolled towards the cafeteria."I'm weak." She winced. "The doctor hasn't said anything about the test."Lekky frowned, "But Mira, why didn't you tell anyone that you've been bleeding? I tell you everything and you just chose to shut us out of your live.""I'm sorry." Mirabella apologised

The cloud was dark, it looked like it was about to rain. Mirabella stood by the window and stared outside the breeze blew heavily across the window side and she shivered she went back to lay on her bed. They were two other patients in the ward that just laid hopelessly on their beds she stared at them and refused to be bedridden. She'd try to fight for her life even if she was getting weak, she won't give up just yet.Michal was in the room with her sister and Catherine went to get food for them at home."Are you still mad at mom?" Mirabella asked."Mad?" Michal directed her gaze on Mirabella. "I was never mad at her." She lied."I know you are Michal." She scratched her hair, her long hair was now the definition of short and scanty she had lost some hair since she began Chemotherapy.Catherine walked into the room, talk of the devil. The girls stopped with their conversation when

Things have gone back to normal since Michal and her mother had a heart to heart talk.Mirabella noticed the change and one could tell she was happy about it, she begged Michal to go back to school. Its been a month already and she had missed so much but she didn't care all she cared about was her sister's quick recovery.____________________________________________?Back in school, things weren't same for Hammed. He would stare at Michal's empty seat and stare away his mind was always drifting back to the last conversation they had, it was no longer a new news that he missed her terribly. If only Mirabella would get well and she'd resume back to school.Lekky was the only one occupying their seats, she had refused to let anyone share the space with her she knew Mirabella would come back to take up her space someday.Ruth was glad Michal has not been showing up, to her it was a big opport

The doctor called Catherine into her office and had a talk with her, in the middle of their conversations she broke down."Doctor please save my daughter." She begged, there was no other way she knew her daughter could be saved."Pray for her ma'am." The doctor told her. "We're trying our best as doctors but there is no improvement. Like I told you before, the cancer has really affected her before it was detected, she's been holding on for long and now its like not treatable anymore.""Can we fly her abroad for treatments?" She inquired."We have the best doctors in this hospital, most of them were trained abroad so if the doctors in this hospital can't find a solution to the problem on ground. I'm afraid it can't be treated abroad. If the Leukaemia was still at the first stage, it'd have been easily treated but now ma'am your daughter is battling with the final stage of Leukaemia and one out of hundred survives this." She explained to Catherine."She's just a kid, doctor please don't

They got under the almond shed and sat down at the deserted chair that has been there before either of them got admitted into the school.Michal stared into space and Hammed watched her."Why are you mad at me?" He asked when she still refused to talk to him."Try to figure out the reason." She said."I can't think of anything." He racked his brain but nothing was coming forth. "Wait!" He snapped a finger. "I guess its because I've not been to the hospital to see you." He said looking at her apologetically. "I'm really sorry, I have been so so busy.""Hammed its not that." She moved away from him."Then its what?" He was more confused now, he moved closer to her."You told Uncle Daniel you like me, he might start suspecting things between us." She said shyly."Wow? That?" He burst into laughter.Michal brought her eyebrows together and wrinkled her forehead in confusion. "Why are you laughing, is it funny now?" She hissed and he laughed again."Whatever.""How's Mirabella?" He asked, Mi
