Save Your Grandmother In Three Days
Five years later, a woman and her five kids stood outside of the city airport. All of a sudden, a car pulled over before them and a handsome man stepped out.
“Nikolai!” Brigitta called happily on seeing Nikolai. He was dressed in a white shirt and a black jean trouser plus a white canvas. He looked hot and cool.
“Brigitta… You look stunning, come quickly to the car,” Nikolai said happily, she had been anticipating her return to the city. Nikolai and Brigitta grew to be bestfriend in Toki Island, that was the city Brigitta travelled to five years ago. But now, she’s back to her city, Jora City.
In a few seconds, Brigitta was already inside the car at the front seat while the five kids sat at the backseat. Nikolai, who was driving said to Brigitta, “I can’t wait to get to know your kids. They looked too beautiful.”
Brigitta only smiled. Nikolai and her worked together as colleagues in the same company in Toki Island, to her, Nikolai was one of the nicest soul anyone would ever meet in this earth.
A couple of minutes later, Nikolai led Brigitta and the kids to his house and said, “Brigitta, feel free to live here until you find an accomodation.”
“I don’t want to bother you, Nikolai,” Brigitta felt that she and her kids would trouble Nikolai so she planned on getting accomodation tomorrow or at most next tomorrow but with the way Nikolai sounded, it’s like he wouldn’t mind if she and her kids stayed for months yet.
“Brigitta, common! What are friends for?… Have that room over there to yourself. And over there, let the kids have that very room to themselves,” Nikolai said.
Brigitta smiled and said gratefully, “you are too kind, Nikolai.”
Then Nikolai turned to the kids, they were four boys and one girl, they were extremely pretty, it was his first time of meeting them, “hey sweethearts, feel free around me.”
“You are cute, Nikolai…” Birdie, the only girl amidst the quintuplets suddenly spoke.
Nikolai blushed, “am I?”
“Don’t seduce our sister…” Chester suddenly spoke, he was one of the four boys. Nikolai bursted into laughter and said, “let me cook so we can all eat.”
Then he quickly sped to the kitchen leaving the mother and her five kids alone.
The kids swarmed around their mother who was seated on the big chair, Chester and Henley held her two palms with their small hands while Maynard and Rome rested on both her laps whereas, Birdie sat right on her lap.
“Mom, you said our daddy lives here, do we get to see him now that we are here?” Henley asked.
Five years ago, after leaving Jora City for Toki Island, shd suddenly noticed that her belly was growing. When she start spitting and feeling dizzy often, she couldn’t help but go for check up at the hospital, to her utmost surprise, she was told she was pregnant. Getting pregnant for a stranger was already too much for her to handle, but nine months later, she ended up delivering five babies at once.
When the kids began to grow into maturity, they began to ask her about their father and since they were in Toki Island then, she just told them they will meet their daddy when they migrate to Jora City.
“Mum, you haven’t told us why you and daddy aren’t together?” Maynard asked.
Brigitta sighed, “why don’t we eat first and then we’ll talk about your daddy later.” Brigitta didn’t know what answer to give them, she didn’t want to have to lie to them, should they find out she lies to them in the future, they may loose trust in her so it’s just better for her to remain mute in this matter for now. Brigitta then stood and said, “let me check on Nikolai at the kitchen.” Then she walked away.
“Since daddy is here, we’ll find him.” Chester said. Chester had the highest IQ amidst his siblings. At a young age of four, he could already hack and operate laptops.
His siblings always trust his words since he always find a solution to every problem they had ever encountered.
“We don’t even know how daddy looks like, how do we find him?” Henley asked. He was a bit taller and huge than his other siblings. When it comes to defending his siblings from bully, he’s very skilled in that as his looks are intimidating unlike Chester who had a slim body.
Everyone thought about what Henley said then Chester spoke again, “we always find a way to every problem, why will this be different?”
After a few hours had passed, Brigitta who was lying on her bed suddenly closed her Laptop tiredly and sighed. She had applied to as many companies as she can and she hoped to get response from any of them as soon as possible. She didn’t want her and her children to be a burden financially to Nikolai plus her primary purpose here was to raise money for her grandmothers surgery. It was the reason why she came back to Jora City.
She had already contacted her family to help but they weren’t willing. They had said that she has to marry the sick and infertile last son of the Wigglesworth’s family in place of her sister before they can help her with the money she needs for her grandmother’s surgery fee. Apparently, they loved her half-sister more than her and hence, wouldn’t let her half sister get married to the sick man rumored to be suffering from a chronic mental illness but they wouldn’t mind throwing Brigitta into the den of such man. How despicable was her family! Even her biological father was in support of her family’s decision.
Brigitta’s mood was down, she was depressed. She had thought of every possible ways to raise money for her sick grandmother but there had not been any logical way to raise such a huge amount of money in a short period of time. Even if she gets a job, she will save up for months before she can raise her grandmother’s surgery fee.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
All of a sudden, her phone rang and seeing that it was the doctor in charge of her grandmother’s health, she sighed depressingly and answered the call, she already knew the doctor wanted to ask for money so she spoke, “I’m back at the city now, I’m already working hard on getting the money, give me some time.”
“The time is what your grandmother do not have, miss. If you really want her saved, please get the money in three days time at most,” the doctor said seriously.
