My ‘Role Model’ Husband!The agony of a Mother, Wife, and Friend.Chapter 7
The minute Fezile and Babz stepped at the rooftop, they felt a sensational cold breeze running through each one’s spine, and they looked at each other in a shocking manner. They both freaked out!
Fezile and Babz started running around calling for Bongz. Fezile decided to look down and she saw her son, Bongz lying in the pool of blood! Fezile screamed unconsciously and immediately ran downstairs to get to Bongz, Babz followed behind her not knowing why her mother was running downstairs in such a manner.
Bongz’s school bag was still on his back. He looked like a dead person. Fezile and Babz screamed for help, they touched Bongz, felt his purse and tried to call him to wake up.
Fezile asked Babz to call the ambulance while she did all she could to resuscitate her son, Babz called the ambulance and also called the police too. She also called the Principal and some of the teachers whom she had their phone numbers on her phone.
The ambulance and the police almost arrived at the same time, the Principal and teachers also arrived immediately. The ambulance took Bongz to the hospital, escorted by his mother, Fezile.
Babz stayed behind telling the police the whole story about Bongz. The security guard was also questioned by the police so does the principal and the teachers. The rooftop and the place where Bongz was found were marked as a crime scene!
Babz drove her mother’s car to the hospital; she was followed by the police. Her mother was seated outside the operation room at the hospital. She was crying and praying at the same time. She told Babz that the doctors are operating on Bongz.
According to what Fezile and Babz saw before calling the police; they believe that Bongz was pushed down from the rooftop but the police were insisting that Bongz was trying to commit suicide. Fezile and Babz refused to accept that Bongz was trying to commit suicide; there was no reason for him to do it. Why would he keep his backpack on his back if he was trying to kill himself?
Fezile was so broken, she could hardly talk. Babz called her father, Themba, who was on his business trip; she explained to him what has happened to Bongz. She also called Gugu and told her that Bongz is in the hospital but she didn’t disclose why he was in the hospital.
The operation took hours, and hours, Fezile and Babz waited and waited. At about past midnight, the doctors came out. They said that it is a miracle that Bongz is still alive. The doctors predicted that he will spend a long time in the coma. The doctors also confirmed that Bongz spent at least four hours in that pull of blood; they said that if he did get help earlier; he wouldn’t have fallen into a coma.
Bongz was taken to the ICU where Fezile and Babz checked on him. They looked at him and cried; they couldn’t believe that Bongz can end up being a vegetable! They cried and prayed to God to heal Bongz.
