The securities ransacked everywhere in search of Caleb but didn't find him. The doctor was visibly angry and screamed at the securities for their lack of professionalism and focus.
"How can a patient disappear when both of you claim that you never left your duty post? What manner of lie is that? Look, if anything happens to that boy, both of you will answer to the police.
FATIMOH held Halima's hand and dragged her downwards. "Halima, describe this Caleb to me."
"Errrmm, he is tall, a bit muscular, has beards and there is this twitch in his eyes when he talks."
FATIMOH immediately got up from the wheelchair much to Halima's surprise.
"Halima, that is the very same guy mum sent you to come and talk me out of, this guy is the reason I am alive today. Nothing, I repeat nothing should happen to Caleb else this hospital will burn down."
Halima had never seen such fire in her sister's eyes before. She was so shocked she didn't know what to say or do.
Caleb must have thought of what she was going to do to him when she finds out he is the same person she has been looking for so he had to escape, Halima thought.
A limping FATIMOH joined the security in search of Caleb and still couldn't find him. "My fear is that his wounds are still fresh, the fact that he is outside there is dangerous to his health and I don't want anything to happen to that boy. The tension in town too is another thing."
Just as they were still searching, FATIMOH's parents walked into the hospital and met their daughter in bandages and stitches. Halima had given them directions.
Her mum hugged her and started crying.
"Mum leave me alone, it's because of you I'm in this mess, just let me be."
FATIMOH begged Halima to help her get into a cab as they proceeded to Caleb's house.
"Caleb, you left here for over one week, your father has gone back to calabar and I had to stay put with your brother here because I wanted to see you before I leave."
She took a closer look at him and noticed he was in pains, she was obviously blinded by her anger that she barely noticed.
"Caleb, what happened to you? What has that witch of a girl done to you? Caleb!!"
She broke down in tears as his brother helped him to a chair.
"Mum, to say I'm disappointed in you is an understatement. I have done nothing but loved and obeyed you throughout my life and serving God has been my watchword..."
Caleb lets out a loud cough.
"You don't have to say anything now Caleb, let's go back to the hospital." His mum said amidst tears.
"I can't go back there, there is someone out there that wants me dead and I don't think I'm safe there. Mum, you are more of a religious fanatic than a Christian and you honestly do not portray the teachings of Christ. If you don't want me to date someone because of their religious beliefs, there is a better way to tell me than the way you went about it, FATIMOH has shown me nothing but love."
"I don't know what to say to you now, I warned your Dad about your coming to this place to serve, all this wouldn't have happened to you..." As she was still talking to Caleb and convincing him to allow her take him to the hospital, Halima entered with a tired looking FATIMOH .
"What are you doing here? What are you doing here? You witch! After everything you have done to my son you have finally come to kill him?"
Caleb tried to talk, but the pains were becoming too much and he started to bleed.
"Mum, take it easy with her, can't you see she's in so much pains herself?"
"I don't care if she's in coma or not, let this witch leave this house immediately!"
Caleb's brother tried to intervene but she shut him up with a slap that shocked everyone.
"Caleb, what happened to you? I'm so sorry you had to go through all this because of me."
While they were still talking, FATIMOH's parents entered the house too and her mum ordered her to leave.
"So this is where you came with this your ill health, to see this demented child of an infidel?"
Caleb's mum couldn't stand another woman insulting her and her son in her presence hence the quarrel escalated and their children tried to intervene but to no avail.
Halima tried to come in between both women to calm them down but Caleb's mother pushed her so hard that she landed on Caleb who fell awkwardly from the chair to the ground. FATIMOH moved towards him and felt his pulse, Caleb wasn't breathing.
====================================
She let out a loud scream like a demented woman, threw her Hijab on the ground and wailed.
"I'm done with religion, I am so done with all of you. I thought our lifestyle is supposed to encourage the unbelievers? So what if you don't want me to marry a Christian? There are other ways to go about it than this, I have lost faith in this religion."
Halima couldn't control her own tears too as she was visibly broken. She regretted ever saying those things to Caleb, not knowing he was the very same person her sister loved, she felt really bad.
Caleb's mother rolled on the floor as she cried, she kept asking Caleb to wake up and marry FATIMOH that she had given him her blessing.
FATIMOH's mum too was so remorseful and pleaded for him wake up too and marry her daughter, but it was just too late, he was stone dead!!!
FATIMOH laid on Caleb's body groaning, nobody could take her hands off him as she was really in pains and was seriously hurting!
Think about the many persons who have given up on Christianity and Islam because your character didn't match what you preached. Think about the many times you are a Christian on Sunday and on Monday you didn't even know where you kept your bible.
Think about how you insulted a conductor because of your change, barely few weeks after you preached to him during evangelism.
But if your character doesn't match what you preach, you are no different from that boy that indulges in drugs or the girl who is a prostitute.
