Yesterday I drove to my friend's shop at Agege, bought some footwear and we gisted on few things. Driving back another car owner hit my car and scratched it. I was enraged.
I took off my seat belt, stepped out, only to see the man who hit my car on his knees begging me. I was angry and confused on what to say or do.
The man was about 50 to 55yrs by my presumption, still on his knees he told me he was going to pay to fix it that he was sorry. He said his wife is in labour, he has no money yet to make a complete payment for the CS. Then I saw tears in his eyes. Immediately mercy flowed from within me.
A Lout wanted to smack the man's head for reckless driving, I stopped him and told the man to stand up let's get to the hospital. He was shocked. I told him to get into his car and lead the way to the hospital.
While at the go, my husband called, I told him a man was driving recklessly and he scratched my car. Hubby asked if I was okay, I told him I was and i would call him back.
We got to the hospital, the man told the nurses at the reception that he wants to make half payment, and that before his wife gets discharged from the hospital he promised to balance up. He quickly hurried to the ward where his wife was.
I asked the nurses what his balance was, she said ₦143k. I made the payment without the man knowing. Then I hurried to catch up with with him.
He quickly said a prayer with his wife and tried to calm her down. I stepped into the ward and encourage her to be strong, that she's coming out with the baby alive. Then I said a little prayer with them.
The doctor(a female) and the nurses took her to theater. The man paced back and forth. Seated were I was, I was praying in my heart.
30 minutes later, the doctor said she lost lots of blood and the pants of blood left would not be enough. Her husband quickly said he wants to donate. Then I also asked if it was okay that I donate. I'm O negative.
The man gave consent, then the nurse swag into action. I got tested and immediately some blood were extracted from my veins and given to her. The man went on his knees and thanked me, not just for the blood donation, but that the nurse told him that I've covered up his remaining balance. He wept.
An hour later the doctor said we can now see his wife. We went in, mummy was crying her husband hugged her by the side, then he sang and danced. I also celebrated with them.
Then he told his wife how he drove recklessly trying to reach the hospital on time, and how I paid the balance of their hospital bill and I was also the blood donour. His wife smiled and tears fell off her eyes, then she told me how they've been looking for a child for the past 16yrs since they got married. She told told me about the subtle mockery they both endured and today, God has fulfilled his promises.
I didn't know when tears of joy fell off my eyes. She asked me what my name was. I said "Zoey". She said; "It means LIFE. Right?". I affirmed. Then she said their son's first name will be "Zoe". I was so overwhelmed, I tried fighting my tears but it kept coming.
Afterwards, their family and neighbors came to visit them at the hospital. It was 6:35pm, my husband called, I told them I will be taking my leave. The woman asked for my contact. I gave her, She ring my phone, I saved hers.
In sat in my car, reminisced about everything, then start the ignition and drove home. When I got home around 8:09pm, hubby was worried about me, he asked if I'm fine, I told him to have a seat. Then I narrated everything to him. Hubby sat quietly and said; "God led you into a awkward situation that you may be of help to that man, to his wife by donating blood and also experience his mercies towards a family who had been believing God for a child.
"I will fix your car, go shower, the kids are asleep, I made us diner." Hubby said.
