Nobody will Survive

Chapter Seven

 only one year had passed since he lost his mother to a heart disease that gnawed his mother for more than five years until it led to her death due to lack of better treatment, and his father faced the same problem that put him in bed unable to even lift his leg.

   "I really hate poverty" The man uttered with emphasis full of stress. he raised his face from the very heavy feelings of evaluating his whole future and what he was going through.

He didn't see the need to stay there and witness his beloved father dying in bed. He was heading on the road to see if he would get help. Due to the fact that he was thinking too much, it led him to lose focus until he was shocked by a very loud car horn. the car tried to avoid him but since it was at high speed the driver managed to avoid him even though it scratched his leg a little and threw him away. The car stopped and a very smart young man got out wearing a clean suit.

      "I am very sorry brother, I didn't see you in the middle of the road and you lost direction of your car" said Jack 

"Don't worry about that, tell me the condition of your leg. I can see the car has hit you badly"

"No, don't worry, I'm okay, my brother"

"I should take you to the hospital because It will cause you problems and you may not be able to do your work"

Jack smiled because he didn't even have that job

"I am very grateful for your help, very few people with money have a heart like yours"

"Personality is more important than the money we have, I don't know who will bury me."

"As I said in the beginning, you seem to have a lot of heart. who are you"?

"My name is Jackson Aron"

    Jack showed a great shock which he could not hide in front of his eyes

"Excuse me, are you talking about this Aron, the richest man in town, or is it someone else"

"Yes, that's me."

"I don't believe someone who has so much money can waste your time with a poor person like me" spoke Jack looking completely disappointed

 "Don't worry about that. you don't look right, what's the problem?

“Yes, brother, it's a very long story, but let me tell you briefly,” Jack told him the whole story of his life in a nutshell. Jackson found himself taking a deep breath and muttering to himself

"We live comfortably every day but there are people who are going through difficulties like this, even eating is a problem, he thought this was very dangerous" he took a deep breath and then said 

“I know it's late, it's late at night but please take me to see your father. Jack didn't have a problem, they went to the place they planned, what Jackson saw made him very sad and he found himself crying after he saw the old man on the bed. 

“Let me get the car and take him to the hospital.“ were the only words that Jackson spoke after witnessing the bad situation the old man was in. It was not long before the old man was loaded into the car and the journey to the hospital began.

"Now I'll leave you a little bit, I'll be here tomorrow, take this money, it will help you and if there's a problem, this is my number, call anytime" Jackson was telling Jack. Jack couldn't believe it, he felt as if an angel had been sent from heaven to save him, he knelt down while shedding tears to thank him, and Jackson lifted him and hugged him.

"Dad will recover, I will pay for the treatment, so don't worry" were Jackson's words

Jack said, "I will remember you and always pray for you brother". The man smiled and left.

On the second day, Jackson went to the hospital 

 "How are things and how is the patient doing Jack?" Jack was surprised, and he answered with a smile. he did not expect the man would really come back as he had promised the night before.

"God is so great and I thank you very much, today he woke up well after receiving treatment all night and he has started talking. I am waiting so I can see him again."

"Don't worry, I will wait until we see everyone".

Then they continued with their other normal conversation

"Yesterday I left to complete the opening of the factory in the Ifakara area, I was very late from there that's why I arrived at night. at that time I was so tired that I was driving the car very lazily, I was shocked to see a person in front of me, I was very shocked but you seemed to be very far away until I came straight at you. I was already very sorry my brother" were Jackson's words to Jack which he explained very calmly

"No, I think you are the one who should blame me, I am the one at fault here. I was not right my brother, although I was not hurt, it was a very small scratch, but I am grateful for what happened because meeting you was very lucky for me, because my father is not in danger anymore" He spoke with emotions that showed themselves clearly.

"I'm sorry, your story is very sad, but it's real life that many boys are going through. since there is no one to take care of your father, when he recovers, we will have to take him home where there are workers who will help him while you are struggling to find work in the city. Tonight, I will talk to my parents about your father, if any service is needed, he will be given, I will pay for everything, so be at peace, Mr. Jack".

It was like he was in a dream but it was real, meeting someone who you don't even know well to give you such help is not easy. Jack smiled while shedding tears and said 

"Sure, no matter how bad people are in the world, good people still exist and you are among them".

They were surprised by the voice of the doctor who told them that it was time to check on the patients. They went inside and found that the old man had opened his eyes with difficulty, but he still forced a smile so as not to disturb those in front of him.

He asked, "Who is this young man?"

_Aaaaaah this father, his name is Jackson,”

 so Jackson himself had to intervene,

  "Old man, hold on, and how are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm not sure if I say I'm healthy, but I'm very grateful to GOD for being able to favour me another day. It's not normal and It's been five years since I've been greeted with respect and someone asked me how I'm doing other than my son. that's why I'm so shocked that you greeted me politely and wanted to know how I am doing, you must be coming from a very good family that nurtures good values, many young people these days have changed a lot, especially when they come to the city. they tend to be very selfish and forget that this world has adults and parents who should be highly valued for taking care of this generation.“

“Where are you from and who is your father?" It was a question from Jacks's father.
