Chapter One
“Jenny where are you? You are not still in bed, are you?” This is Jenny’s mother calling. She is Mrs. Babera Parker. She is in her forty’s together with her husband Mr. Johnson Parker who is Jenny’s father.
Mrs. Babera went into Jenny’s room to wake her up.
“Wake up girl! Or we gonna be late for the family flight this morning”.
“Gosh! What is the time?” asked Jenny.
“It’s 6:30am. Isn’t your alarm working?” replied Mrs. Babera.
“I don’t know mom, I guess it stopped last night. I’m sorry mom!”
“It’s OK my dear. You just get ready in the next 10- 15 minutes.”
Today and tomorrow are considered the happiest days in Jenny’s life. Today is her birthday while tomorrow is thanksgiving in the great American tradition. So the family usually celebrates today and tomorrow as a double feast, at grandpa’s and grandma’s ranch in Texas. They are traveling from Florida to Texas this morning. This is going to be the 15th birthday and thanksgiving’s celebrations of Jenny.
It’s already 6:30am and the family has a flight to catch at 7:15am. Jenny quickly got out of bed. She rushes into her bathroom. Quickly, she washes up her mouth and body. In the next fifteen minutes she had already dressed up.
By now Jenny’s parents are calling her to come over with her luggage into the family car. She rushes out from the big house and got into the family car with her luggage at the back sits.
Good morning dad! Good morning mom! She greeted her parents. “Good morning Jenny”, replied mom and dad.
“We have just 30 minutes left to catch the flight”, said Mr. Johnson Parker. “But it’s only a 10 to 15 minute drive to the airport I suppose. I’m sure we can make it on time”, replied Mrs. Babera Parker.
“Yo! Sure we can. Make sure your sits belts are on, honey and my dear Jenny”.
Mr. Johnson Parker quickly jet out of his compound drive way and got to a main road. He accelerated the car on a steady speed for the next five minutes till they get to an express way. He accelerated the car even further hoping to get to the bend, which lead to the airport, not more than 10 minutes.
“Darling, I think you are driving too fast”, said Mrs. Babera parker.
“I think so too dad. We gonna get there any way!”
“Sorry ladies! I shall slow down a little now”, replied Mr. Johnson Parker.
And as he is about slowing down, suddenly, there came a thunderous blast of flat tire from a car in front. Accompanying this thunderous blast is the abrupt brake of the car. These two simultaneous incidences send shock waves down the spine of Mr. Johnson Parker. And in immediate response, he tries to swab past the evil in front, left ward. But, the left-back tire of the evil car pulled off, and ran under the right-front tire of Mr. Johnson’ car.
This gave it a suspended position in motion where suddenly, another car from behind hits on collision the nosy head of Mr. Johnson’s car. And Mr. Johnson’s car falls heavily sideway on the right, then over, as the car from behind makes a de-momentary stop ahead.
The men from the other cars quickly got out from their cars; they rush to Mr. Johnson’s damaged car in order to offer their life-saving help. They pull Jenny and Mrs. Babera out of the damaged car. They rush over to pull Mr. Johnson out but his left leg is stuck badly. Time was against them as fuel started gushing out the damaged car. One thing led to another, as Mr. Johnson stares at Jenny with those blue-white eyes of his, fire broke out and the car exploded.
Jenny got struck with silence as she stood there in pains. Tears run from her eyes. Mrs. Babera is wailing but the two men held her away from the fire.
Few minutes later the police rush in. the emergency unit also rush in. Jenny and her wailing mother are taken to the hospital. But the police are holding the two men for questioning.
“Ma’am, I’m Dr. Greg. I’ll examine you and your daughter, to see if you both suffer internal injuries”.
“Oh, my God!” Mrs. Babera lamented. “My daughter is 15th today that she lost her father in a fatal car accident. What kind of remembrance can this bring? ”
“Ma’am you shall get through this”, replied Dr. Greg.” But I’m afraid you don’t want your daughter to think like that. You ought to be strong for her. It’s important.”
“The worst is that she may be blaming herself for her father’s death”, said Mrs. Babera. She got us late. Her father was trying to meet the time on the family flight but instead he met death! Can she ever forgive herself?”
“I know a doctor who can help your daughter passed through this”, replied Dr. Greg.
“Where is Jenny- My daughter?”
“We decided to place her in our intensive care until” said Dr. Greg. “She has a serious shock. And we hope that it’s not serious. But be strong Ma’am, I’m hopeful that she will be fine. It’s just the shock and silence pains she must be going through!”
“Call me Babera. I lost my handset. But I would like to make a call to Texas?”
“Sure! Mrs. Babera. But that will be after our medical examination”, replied Dr. Greg.
“No doctor”, said Mrs. Babera. “I got to make it now. It’s important.”
“Okay! You can use my handset if you don’t mine”, replied Mr. Greg.
She dials the family’s number at Texas. And grandpa picks up the phone.
“Hello! This is the Parker residence”.
“It’s I Babera! I’m calling from the general hospital here in Miami.”
“What! What happened Babera!”
“There was an accident on our way to the airport this morning”, she continued. “It’s very serious. You and grandma should be here with us, especially for Jenny. She is devastated
“Babera! I’m very sorry! My wife and I are on our way. Please hold on! But, how is Johnson?”
Mrs. Babera could not answer that question. So she cut off the phone sorrowfully, then she began to cry!
At the police station, Sergeant Mark and Sergeant Brenda question the two men.
The man with the flat tire introduces himself as Mr. Jacob. The other introduces himself as Mr. Jeff.
“Gentlemen, please narrate your accounts of what happened”, requested by Sergeant Brenda.
Mr. Jacob narrated his accident account as follo
ws: “I was moving at an accelerating speed on my way to the airport. Mr. Johnson was moving faster. I think he wanted to overtake me. Suddenly, I had a flat tire. Then I quickly stopped the car. Mr. Johnson was still trying to overtake me when, suddenly, he got hit by Mr. Jeff’s car from behind.”
Then, Mr. Jeff went on to add that Mr. Johnson never gave him any sign before his nose dive. He said that it was so sudden to stop his overtaking of both cars even before the flat tire, and then the collision occurred. Everything just happened so fast!
At the hospital Mrs. Babera and her daughter Jenny have been force to take something. The nurses have managed to persuade them to eat some food before the series of medical tests on them. And after the whole processes were done, Sergeants Mark and Brenda showed at the hospital. They’ve come to check on Mrs. Babera and Jenny’s conditions. They are also here for some report of Mrs. Babera about the fatal accident. But Dr. Greg refuses their meeting with Mrs. Babera. He told them that Mrs. Babera and her daughter must not be disturb for the next 30 minutes to 1 hour. So, they left to return in any hour time.
After 1 hour time, Sergeants Mark and Brenda revisited the hospital. By this time Mrs. Babera has woken up but her daughter Jenny is still sleeping. They went to Dr. Greg’s office. Dr. Greg took them to meet Mrs. Babera who had already woken up.
“Hello Mrs. Babera! How are you feeling now?” asked Dr. Greg.
“Doctor, I can come around but can my daughter ever come around and be that cheerful self, she’s always been?” replied Mrs.
But Dr. Greg quickly tries to change the subject as he could.
“You’ve some visitors from the police department! They are here to see you”
“I don’t want to deal with the law. My daughter’s tragedy is already over-bearing for me to deal with”, replied Mrs. Babera.
Then Sergeants Mark and Brenda came forward to introduce themselves to Mrs. Babera.
“Mrs. Babera!” Sergeant Brenda called. “Believe you me that we are here to help you prosecute if necessary, anybody that is causing this grave pains, you and your daughter are going through.”
“But you’ve got to help us with what happened?” she asked.
“Prosecuting those men that saved our lives will be outrageous and my husband would be sick in his unfortunate death”, said Mrs. Babera. “As a matter of fact, the accident was just an accident and my husband’s death is an ill-luck. Those men did everything to save all three of us but my husband’s leg was stocked.”
“I Must be able to convince myself and my daughter that the accident was no body’s fault, but Johnson’s attitude this morning, which led to his reckless driving”, said Mrs. Babera. “My daughter and I complained for him to slow down before the accident occurred.”
“Mrs. Babera! We are very sorrow about the loss of life of your husband and your daughter’s medical state”, said Sergeant Mark. “We shall be leaving now and hope to stay in touch.”
After a while, the grand parents of Jenny arrived at the hospital. They met with one of the nurses at the reception table.
“Good morning dear! I’m Mr. John Parker, and here is my wife Joan. We want to see the Parker’s family that was brought here early this morning.”
“You are very welcome Mr. & Mrs. Parker”, said Miss Betty. First, you have to see Dr. Greg.”
So, she called on Dr. Greg’s office to inform him of their arrival. And Dr. Greg requested they see him immediately. Then she showed them the way to Dr. Greg office. They got in and sat down with anxious expressions in their faces.
“Doctor! Where is my family?” (Mr. Parker requested with anxiety).
“What was the message on the phone about an accident?” requested Mrs. Parker. “Please tell me it’s not true!”
“Mr. & Mrs. Parker! I’m sorry to announce to you that there was an accident early this morning at the express way to the airport”, said Dr. Greg. “Unfortunately your son did not make it. He got stocked in the car when it flamed up.”
“What!” (Mr. and Mrs. Parker exclaimed sorrowfully with broken hearts.)
“Where is my grand-daughter and mother”, asked Mr. Parker. “Are they alright?”
“You grand-daughter though survived with no physical or internal injuries, but she is in a very bad shape psychologically, and mentally I fear too”, continued Dr. Greg. “Mrs. Babera is devastated by Johnson death and Jenny’s grave situation.”
“Oh, my God! My son Johnson!” cried Mrs. Parker.
“Darling we have to be strong for Babera and Jenny, oh poor Jenny exclaimed Mr. Parker.
“John! I want to see my grand-daughter and her mother”, requested Mrs. Parker.
Then, Dr. Greg called on Nurse Betty. She came and took Mrs. Parker to see Babera and poor Jenny. But, Dr. Greg wanted to discuss Jenny’s situation to Mr. Parker so he requested him to stay for a short while.
“I want to stress on Jenny’s grave situation”, said Dr. Greg. “She needs to meet a psychiatrist for a rehab therapy. I have this friend of mine, Dr. Nic James. He’s a psychiatrist. I spoke with him about Jenny’s problem. I think he can handle it. ”
“When shall this be doctor?” asked Mr. Parker.
“It’s to be soonest because I fear her mental break-down”, replied Dr. Greg. “The longer it takes to attend to her complex situation, the more she may pose danger both for herself and the society.”
“Doctor, I’ll see to that”, replied Mr. Parker. “Thanks very much.”
“This is Dr. Nic’s Card.” (Dr. Greg gives it to Mr. Parker then escorted him to Jenny and Mrs. Babera.
Chapter Two
By noon, Mrs. Babera and Jenny are discharged home accompanied by Mr. & Mrs. Parker. As they all enter the house, Mrs. Babera feels the absence of Johnson’s emptiness begins to consume her already broken heart that she lamented: “Oh! Home cannot be the same without you Johnson.” Then she began to cry!
“Babera! You need to be strong for Jenny”, said Mr. Parker.
“Babera! Please be strong for my granddaughter”, Mrs. Parker continued. ”You must fill in for Johnson to make my granddaughter overcome her father’s absence. OK!”
But Jenny had already gone to her room. She jammed the door, making sure it was locked. She lies down on her once sweet customize plushy bed with her face staring sharply unto the ceiling. From her pretty big-black eyes comes tears which passes each sides of her once pretty, but now clouded looking face. Her tears run down from each ear to her neck before soaking up her plushy mattress. As she thinks about her sweet dad, her continue tearing soaks up her mattress more and more.
She thinks of her dad smiling at her from the clouds of heaven. But what encapsulates the tragic loss of her dad, was his burning blue-white eyes and spectacular dims.
Then, the thought of her losing him for the rest of her life sets in. she thought of his burning blue-white eyes and pretty dims when he smiles. Then his scaring blue-white eyes that stared at her with a sense of accusation strike her consciousness. She cries out with a horrifying noise, coming from the deepest pains of her heart.
A thunderous crying noise was held in the parlor where Mrs. Babera and Mr. & Mrs. Parker are sitting, trying to deal with Jenny’s problem. Their reactions are uniform and spontaneous yet indescribable. It was like a spark of Joy almost immediately accompanied by an over whelming horror of death!
They ran voraciously to Jenny’s room. And without rational mindfulness of anything, they smashed the door with each person doing his or her almost, all at the same time!
But Jenny’s deepest pains and the horrifying cries she is making shut her hearing. She never heard the destruction that her mother and grand-parents are making.
And as they smashed the door opened, they ran into Jenny’s room. Together, they forcefully dragged her back to life, as if she was dead or dying!
“Oh! Please Jenny doesn’t do this to me your mother! Don’t leave me behind, I love you!”
“Jenny! We all love you”, her grand-parents cried.
“We’ve to see Dr. Nic immediately!” cried Mrs. Babera.
“Yes! We have to see him today because I’m scared about my grand-daughter”, replied Mrs. Parker.
“Let’s go see him then”, concluded by Mr. Parker.
So they took Jenny to see Dr. Nic. When they got to his hospital they meet with the doctor’s secretary-Mrs. Kimberly. But she demanded that Jenny’s appointment must be booked as a matter of proceedings. Then Mr. Parker explained to her the urgency of the situation and the recommendation by Dr. Greg. “Dr. Nic must be anticipating to meet us”, said Mr. Parker. “You can call him to confirm.”
So she called and after a while, she allowed Jenny and her mother to go in.
“Welcome Mrs. Babera and Jenny! Please have your seats”, said Dr. Nic. “Dr. Greg told me about your daughter and I’m oblige to offer my professional support.”
“Oh! I appreciate what ever help you give to my daughter, Dr. Nic”, replied Mrs. Babera.
So Dr. Nic continues with some analytical explanations of Jenny’s situation.
“I think there are two sides to this problem of your daughter”, he said to Mrs. Babera. “The first may be her blames! And the second is definitely finding another life.”
“Do you mean she may be blaming herself for her dad’s death, doctor?” asked Mrs. Babera.
“As for blaming herself or her dad is very possible because she kept us late, and her dad wasn’t too happy that she did”, Mrs. Babera confirms Dr. Nic’s analysis. “But this is serious doctor!” Mrs. Babera confesses her fears. “What can I do because I don’t want to lose her, please doctor?” she asked.
“Before I can begin any therapy section with your daughter should be Monday next week”, said Dr. Nic. “What you must do at all times till she begins to show some improvement is never to allow her be alone or out of your sight, do you understand?” Dr. Nic makes sure that Mrs. Babera does understand. “I advise you share her room together. She can’t share your room because she may feel all the more troubled with her father absence. “More importantly”, Dr. Nic cautioned Mrs. Babera. “Jenny must not be in the bathroom or toilet alone where she can easily hurt herself. And you must also make sure that she doesn’t handle dangerous objects or come near any”
