“ma’am, there was a fire outbreak in the male hostel so as the fire got to his room, he tried escaping from the window, he jumped down the building from the second floor and landed on his arm” he said quickly.. “he only twisted his elbow ”
“you call it ONLY cause u don’t know how much my children mean to me.. “Esther said angrily as she said on top of her voice. The principal noticed and hurried to the scene.
Martins held his wife close and hugged her
“sir I’m sorry if Your child suffered any injury ” the principal said in a really sad tone. “I apologize on behalf of the school… Many parents have already vowed not to bring their children here again, please I plead With you not to do the same “she said as hot tears stream down her eyes.
“madam, it’s OK. “Martins assured her with a smile. “God is in control of everything ”
She smiled back feeling more relieved.
Martins left with his wife and son.
“what even caused the fire? “Esther wondered as they journeyed home. She caressed her belly gently. Steven was fast asleep as he laid in the back seat.
“could this have been the revelation of Esther’s dream? Could it have been that the baby was Steven and the escape was him jumping off the window? Martins drove overshadowed in his thoughts .
