Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 1

After receiving a call that my mother was rushed to the hospital early that morning, I picked my phone, my car key and my purse. I was in a hurry to get to the hospital. I met a nurse at the reception and I requested to see my mother but I was told the doctor wants to see me in his office. After so many scolding from Doctor Komolafe who happens to be our family Doctor, he told me my mom's blood pressure has increased and after given me so many warnings 2 months back about my mom's health all he wanted were improvements but unfortunately its getting out of hands. I asked him to let me see her but he said she can't see anyone yet. I felt guilty within me knowing that I caused my mom's poor state of health. I went back to the reception pacing up and down waiting for me to be told my mom can now have visitors.
After my 2hours of waiting, praying, crying and thinking I was finally told to go in and see her. I was devastated and I couldn't help but feel guilty. "mom I'm sorry" was all I could mutter beneath my breath. She felt sorry for me too.
