Transcript
00:00Once upon a time, there was a couple named Bright and Sandra.
00:07After they got married, they were not fortunate to give birth in time.
00:13It took them five years of crying and praying before they were able to give birth to their daughter, Naomi.
00:22After they gave birth to Naomi, they couldn't stop thanking God for giving them Naomi when all their hopes were lost.
00:32One beautiful evening after they had eaten dinner that night and retired to bed,
00:38Naomi was lying down in between the couple.
00:42Mr. Bright just kept staring at his little daughter and smiling.
00:48Tell me the reason behind this smile tonight?
00:51Sandra asked her husband, also smiling with him.
00:56Who would have ever thought that we would have been a parent someday?
01:01I hope you remember all we went through.
01:04Mr. Bright asked Sandra.
01:07Can I ever forget?
01:09I was called a barren woman.
01:12We were mocked for five good years.
01:15I got different advice from different friends.
01:18Old women called me aside and tried to give me various solutions.
01:24Doctors had different things to say each time we went to them.
01:29People always pointed to me as I walked past.
01:32Even some women in the church used to mock me.
01:35I was referred to as the fair barren.
01:40I almost committed suicide after a fellow woman told me to my face that I was a man
01:47and that was why I couldn't give my husband children.
01:51Sandra said all this and tears rolled down her cheeks.
01:56It's okay. It's okay.
01:59Those are in the past now.
02:01God has given us Naomi and blessed us.
02:05Our bundle of joy.
02:07Mr. Bright said with a smile.
02:10Her seventh birthday is coming this week.
02:13Our daughter will be seven years old.
02:15Sandra said with a smile.
02:17They both just kept staring at Naomi who was sleeping peacefully.
02:23Then Mr. Bright stretched his hand and turned off the light and bid his wife goodnight.
02:29The next day, Mr. Bright was so tangled at work that he forgot it was time to bring Naomi back from school.
02:37It was the weekend and Mr. Bright was the one who took Naomi back during the weekends.
02:44It was already 40 minutes after dismissal.
02:48But Mr. Bright was not yet back with Naomi.
02:53Sandra decided to wait a bit longer thinking it was traffic.
02:58After a few more minutes, she became worried and called her husband on the phone.
03:04Mr. Bright was shocked that almost an hour had flown by after Naomi's school dismissal time.
03:11He pleaded with his wife to quickly go get her because he was still very busy.
03:17Sandra left what she was doing immediately and started heading towards Naomi's school.
03:23She was already 55 minutes late and it took another 15 minutes to get to Naomi's school.
03:31Sandra entered a bus and just after a 5-minute drive, she got stuck in traffic.
03:39The traffic was so bad that Sandra decided it was best she calms down and searched for a bike that would be faster.
03:49Because the bike riders always have a way of maneuvering the traffic.
03:54After walking for a while in haste, Sandra stopped the bike.
03:59She tried hopping on the bike and then she remembered she had forgotten her purse inside the bus she had entered earlier.
04:08Sandra didn't know if she was to continue to the school or go back to get her purse.
04:16She asked the bike man to go while she goes to take her phone because her phone was inside the purse.
04:23Sandra started walking back in quick steps looking for the bus she had entered earlier.
04:31Meanwhile, back at the school, Naomi sat outside with some of her classmates who were waiting for their parents to come and take them home.
04:41Some who had older siblings went home with them.
04:46As parents came taking their kids in their numbers, Naomi only sat wondering if her father had forgotten her.
04:57Naomi, your father is not coming today?
05:01One of her classmates asked her as she left with her mother.
05:06Naomi was already tired of waiting.
05:09She was so hungry.
05:11She didn't eat the whole day because she didn't like the food her mother had prepared and put into her lunchbox.
05:18Naomi stood up and decided to go home alone.
05:22She left the school with her bag and lunchbox.
05:27She started walking home all alone while carrying her lunchbox.
05:34After a few minutes walk, Naomi's lunchbox fell from her hand and rolled into the main road.
05:42She tried going to pick it up.
05:45Someone tried calling out to Naomi because of the speeding car coming towards her in a haste.
05:52The man driving the car quickly stepped on his brakes but it was already too late.
05:58He had knocked Naomi down.
06:01The man came down immediately and saw Naomi lying down almost lifeless and bleeding.
06:08Before people would come any closer, the man carried Naomi into his car.
06:16He reversed with her in his car and drove off in a haste.
06:20As Sandra walked back in quick steps to where she had alighted from the bus earlier,
06:27she noticed some bus drivers were turning around to follow another route because of the traffic ahead.
06:34She increased her pace trying to find the bus she had come down from earlier,
06:39but she couldn't seem to identify the bus.
06:43It looked like the bus had turned around with the others.
06:47Sandra carried her hand on her head in confusion.
06:51She had just lost her purse containing her phone.
06:55She wanted to call her husband but she couldn't.
06:58She couldn't pay for a bike either because she had no money on her.
07:04She decided to trek down to the school and then call her husband with one of the teacher's phones when she got to the school.
07:13After so many minutes of walking under the scorching sun,
07:17Sandra arrived in front of the school gates.
07:21She was sweating profusely like someone who had engaged in a marathon race.
07:27The environment was very calm, unlike the usual time when there were kids around the vicinity.
07:36Sandra's only hope was that her daughter was inside the gates,
07:41seeing that there was no padlock on it.
07:45As she reached out to open the gates,
07:48she saw the headmistress coming out of the gates holding a padlock to close the gates.
07:55Good afternoon ma, Sandra greeted, trying to force a smile.
08:01Good afternoon my dear, why are you sweating so much?
08:05The headmistress asked looking at Sandra.
08:09I'm sorry, I'm so so late.
08:13It seems everyone had left already, Sandra asked looking around.
08:19Yes, it's already 4pm and everyone has left.
08:24Today is Friday and we close full early, the headmistress answered.
08:29What about my daughter?
08:31Sandra asked, fixing her gaze on the headmistress as she locked up the gates.
08:38Your daughter? No one is here, why not call your husband and know if he has her?
08:45He comes to pick her on Fridays, the headmistress answered.
08:50I know my husband too well and he can't ask me to come to take my daughter from school if he has already done that.
08:58Sandra said, already having mixed feelings.
09:03Why not call him? The headmistress suggested.
09:07That's the problem, I can't.
09:10I was in a hurry and I forgot my purse with my phone inside the bus I'd entered earlier when there was traffic.
09:17My phone and the little money I had on me is all gone.
09:21I just wanted to come and pick up my daughter first before talking about my phone.
09:27Then how did you pay the bus driver when you came down?
09:31I had money in my hand already and I just...
09:35Oh ma, my phone is not my problem.
09:40Where is my daughter? Where is Naomi? Sandra asked, already having a bad feeling.
09:46Take my phone and call your husband, let's see if he took her.
09:51The headmistress said, dipping her hand into her bag and bringing out her phone.
09:58She gave it to Sandra who collected it and dialled Bright's number immediately.
10:05Mr. Bright picked up the call immediately and Sandra asked him if he came and took their daughter from school.
10:13Mr. Bright told her he had been calling her and she was not picking up her calls.
10:19He wanted to know if they were back home.
10:22He couldn't understand what he was hearing over the phone, that his princess was missing.
10:28He told Sandra that he was coming over immediately.
10:33Mr. Bright hung up the call and Sandra could feel the tears building up in her eyes.
10:40Where is my daughter? Sandra asked the headmistress in a teary voice.
10:47The headmistress was dumbfounded. She had no answer to the question Sandra just asked her.
10:55She calmed Sandra down and she called the teacher in charge of Naomi's class.
11:01She asked the teacher to come back to school as there was a case of a missing pupil.
11:07Sandra didn't know where she would start from to look for her only daughter.
11:12Tears just kept rolling down her cheeks as she waited for the teacher in charge of Naomi's class.
11:19She was restless and just kept looking around, hoping to lay her eyes on Naomi.
11:26It took a few minutes and the teacher came back to the school.
11:31She was asked who had taken Naomi.
11:36The teacher said Naomi was sitting with her best friend Anita outside waiting for her father.
11:42She saw Anita's mother coming to take Anita.
11:46After a while, she didn't see Naomi anymore. She thought her father had taken her.
11:53Sandra asked the teacher to call Anita's mother on the phone and find out if Naomi had followed her home.
12:02The teacher was scrolling down her contact list looking for Anita's mother's number
12:09when Mr. Bright came down from the bike and walked towards the rest in a quick pace.
12:16A call came into the headmistress' phone. She picked it up.
12:22Hello, Madam, I think one of your students met with an accident a few minutes ago, the voice said over the phone.
12:31The headmistress shifted a bit to where she won't be heard.
12:36She asked what the pupil looked like. The description fitted that of Naomi.
12:43She slowly brought down the phone.
12:46She didn't know how she was going to tell the couple that their only daughter had been involved in a life-threatening accident.
12:54More still, no one knows where she was carried off to by the man who had knocked her down.
13:01The headmistress just kept staring at Bright who was consoling Sandra who cried bitterly.
13:08It seemed like Anita's mother just told them Naomi wasn't with her.
13:14A tear almost dropped off the cheek of the headmistress in confusion and pity for the couple.
13:21Earlier, when Naomi was hit by a speeding car, the man who had knocked her down came down from his car immediately.
13:30He saw Naomi lying down almost lifeless and without wasting time, he carried Naomi into his car.
13:38He reversed his car and drove off. He was praying so hard that she doesn't die before he gets to the hospital.
13:48David was on the phone talking with a business associate.
13:53He had actually come for a visit and was going back to his city.
13:58He didn't see Naomi. He was lost in the call he was making.
14:03He only heard someone's loud cry which drew his attention.
14:07But before he could step on his brakes, he had already knocked the little girl down.
14:13So he immediately came down and carried Naomi into his car.
14:18He didn't want to take any chances in saving the life of the little girl.
14:23What kind of temptation is this?
14:26David asked himself as he drove quickly to a hospital he knew distant away.
14:32He was sweating profusely as he drove at his maximum speed.
14:38When he got to the hospital, he carried Naomi into the hospital.
14:43She was already bleeding from her mouth and her head.
14:47It seemed like Naomi's head had first landed on the iron in front of his jeep without falling to the ground.
14:55The nurses took charge immediately.
14:58The doctor was busy with another patient.
15:02When he was told of the emergency, he quickly came to see the new patient.
15:08David was spacing around the hospital.
15:12He didn't know what to do.
15:15The doctor was really taking quite long inside the hospital room and David grew anxious by the moment.
15:24He didn't want to hear any bad news.
15:28The doctor came out with a sad look.
15:31David walked up to him to ask him how the little girl was doing.
15:36The doctor looked at David and shook his head.
15:40I'm sorry sir, the accident was really fatal.
15:44We examined her thoroughly and found that she has internal brain bleeding.
15:49We have tried to control it with some drugs and injections.
15:53She needs immediate surgery for her to survive.
15:57The doctor said in a very concerned tone.
16:01A surgery?
16:03Go ahead with the surgery doctor.
16:05The money won't be a problem.
16:07I will sign any document necessary.
16:10I don't want that little girl to die please doctor.
16:13David begged with his hands together.
16:16I'm sorry but we don't have the necessary equipments here.
16:20You will have to take her somewhere else.
16:23I will give you some written notes.
16:26David didn't know his way around, where he was.
16:31He didn't know which hospital had the equipments that was needed for the surgery.
16:38And so he decided to take Naomi to his city.
16:42He needed her to get better before starting to look for who her parents were.
16:49David asked the doctor if he could take Naomi on a 4-5 hours journey drive to another hospital from where he came from.
16:58The doctor gave his approval and gave some written notes to David and gave another injection to the little girl.
17:06Back at Naomi's school, Sir, the headmistress called out softly to Mr. Brights.
17:14Both Mr. Brights and Sandra immediately turned to see why the headmistress was calling.
17:21I just received a call.
17:24Your daughter, Naomi, was involved in an accident.
17:29My daughter was involved in an accident?
17:33Where did it happen?
17:36Sandra ran and held the headmistress, asking her impatiently.
17:42Few minutes down the street, the headmistress answered.
17:46Sandra ran off immediately towards where she was stored without waiting for the rest.
17:53Mr. Brights immediately followed his wife, running towards the said accident scene.
18:00When they got there, they were told that the man who knocked her down had taken her.
18:06Maybe he had taken her to the hospital.
18:10Since no one knew which hospital Naomi was taken to, the teacher, the headmistress and the couple stopped a taxi and left for the closest hospital.
18:23In the taxi, Mr. Brights wanted to bust out to the headmistress, but he knew it was all his fault.
18:33Sandra held Mr. Brights tight, hoping for her daughter to be in the hospital as streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
18:43Both the teacher and the headmistress also hoped that they would find Naomi in good health.
18:51When they got to the hospital, Sandra was the first to run into the hospital.
18:57She asked the nurses if they had seen a little girl in school uniform who got involved in an accident.
19:05The nurses checked and there was no record of a little girl involved in an accident.
19:12Sandra was disappointed, but still moved on to the next hospital.
19:18By the time they got to the third hospital and asked about the case of a little girl who had an accident,
19:25they were told that a little girl who fitted their description was brought into the hospital.
19:31It was a big hospital, so they were asked to wait while they find which ward the girl was taken into.
19:39Sandra was relieved that finally she was going to see her only daughter.
19:46She only hoped that Naomi was okay.
19:50They all waited impatiently for someone to come and take them to see Naomi.
19:56Then the doctor came out. He came to see those looking for the little girl.
20:02Doctor, how is my daughter? Where is she? Can I see her?
20:08The doctor was asked by Sandra in tears.
20:12Yes, doctor, please can we see our daughter?
20:17That was when the doctor realized that those standing in front of him were the parents of the said girl.
20:24I'm so sorry, are you the parents of the little girl?
20:28The doctor asked, shifting his gaze from Sandra to Mr. Bright.
20:33Yes, we are.
20:35Mr. Bright and Sandra answered anxiously and nodding their heads.
20:40Sorry to break this sad news to you then.
20:43Your daughter was involved in a serious accident which nearly took her life.
20:48When she was rushed here, she was bleeding from her head.
20:52I had thought that was all till I decided to examine her scrutinously,
20:57and I found that she had an internal brain bleeding.
21:01My daughter has an internal bleeding.
21:04Where is she? Where is my daughter? I want to see her, please.
21:09Sandra asked with tears rolling down her cheeks.
21:13The doctor heaved a sigh and continued.
21:17Ma, she needed to be operated to stop the bleeding completely.
21:23I had given her some drugs and injections to keep the blood from flowing in.
21:28Our hospital doesn't have the necessary equipment for the surgery,
21:32so the man who had brought her here decided he would take Naomi to a big city
21:37so that she can be treated.
21:40Which city? Which city, doctor? Do you have his number?
21:44I don't know the city he lives in.
21:47Neither do I have his number, the doctor said in a disappointing tone.
21:52Sandra turned slowly, looked at her husband, and then fell down and fainted.
22:02They tried immediately to revive her in the hospital.
22:07When Sandra woke up, all she did was cry bitterly, asking for her only child.
22:15Why me? Why Naomi?
22:18After five years, God, after five years, you sent Naomi to me.
22:24Why this huge temptation?
22:27Where is my Naomi? Where is my Naomi?
22:32Sandra kept saying in tears loudly.
22:35Mr. Bright tried to hold himself.
22:38His charming princess was on the verge of death and no one even knew where she was.
22:45He held his wife and tried consoling her.
22:49Sandra refused to go home.
22:52She wanted her daughter to be brought back to her.
22:56The headmistress and the teacher couldn't go home either.
23:01They just looked at the couple who were in pains and couldn't help keeping their tears back in.
23:08It was getting dark already and they needed to go back home.
23:13Mr. Bright convinced Sandra to follow him back home.
23:19The headmistress begged Mr. Bright not to take out his anger on their school
23:26as they would put their hands together in looking for Naomi.
23:30Mr. Bright wasn't in the mood to start causing havoc.
23:35He just wanted to take his wife home because she has not been herself.
23:40Going after the school was not going to bring back his daughter.
23:44He solemnly blamed himself and hoped the man brings back his daughter alive to them.
23:51Back to Mr. David.
23:54He was speeding a lot and when he was stopped by the police,
23:58he showed them the report written by the doctor coupled with the note and they let him pass.
24:04He drove for hours and finally got to his city.
24:08It was already dark but he drove straight to the hospital.
24:13He gave them the note the doctors had given to him.
24:17Naomi was quickly taken into the theater while Mr. David made the necessary payments.
24:24The surgeon was called and luckily he was still in the hospital.
24:29He had wanted to leave a while ago but it was as if something kept him back.
24:35He immediately went in to see Naomi.
24:39Mr. David was in the waiting room.
24:42He was praying and hoping Naomi will come out safe.
24:47He kept pacing around and rubbing his hand on his head.
24:52His phone kept vibrating in his pocket.
24:55He brought it out and it was his wife Tina calling.
24:59She had called him so many times and he never picked.
25:04He picked up the call and his wife asked him why he wasn't back home yet
25:09after telling her hours ago that he was on his way home.
25:14Mr. David explained everything to his wife.
25:17She asked where he was so she would come immediately.
25:21It took a few minutes then Tina arrived at the hospital.
25:26She went and met her husband where he was seated and sweating.
25:30She asked him how it all happened and he told her.
25:34Tina was concerned.
25:36She decided to wait with her husband for the outcome of the ongoing surgery.
25:42The surgery took a very long time.
25:45Once in a while a nurse would come out and then go back into the theatre.
25:51Mr. David and Tina kept sleeping and waking up at intervals in the hospital waiting room.
25:58They earnestly wanted Naomi to be healed.
26:01Time was crawling but finally the doctor came out.
26:06He was wearing a smile on his face.
26:10Mr. David was the first to see the doctor.
26:13He tried standing up and Tina who was sitting beside him woke up too.
26:18Doctor, how is she? Hope the surgery was successful.
26:23Mr. David asked the doctor anxiously.
26:27By the grace of God and not us, the little girl is safe and out of danger.
26:33Yes, the surgery was successful.
26:36Yes. Oh, thank God.
26:39Mr. David said out loud while his wife hugged him happily.
26:44Please bring down your voices, the doctor said in a low tone.
26:49Okay, okay, Mr. David said.
26:52She needs a lot of resting time.
26:55She is likely to lose a part of her memory which will only come back with time by God's grace.
27:01Also, she may not be able to talk well for a while.
27:06I have given some list of drugs to the nurse.
27:09You get them and make sure she takes them as prescribed.
27:13She will need a lot of love and care from you both to get well soon.
27:19Can we see her now? Tina asked softly.
27:24Sure, but she needs no disturbance.
27:29She needs maximum rest, the doctor said and walked out.
27:34The couple thanked the doctor and walked into the hospital room.
27:39Immediately Tina walked into the room and set her eyes on Naomi.
27:45Streams of tears ran down her cheeks.
27:50She started sobbing bitterly while Mr. David tried to console her.
27:56The headmistress left with a heavy heart.
28:00She knew Naomi was the only daughter of Mr. Bright.
28:05She knew what it felt like for a child to be missing.
28:10She blamed the teacher in charge for being so careless.
28:15The class teacher wanted to defend herself.
28:18But she knew that nothing she would say would justify the fact that Naomi got missing under her watch.
28:26She only prayed and hoped for Naomi to be safe wherever she was.
28:33Mr. Bright stopped a taxi which would take him and his wife back home.
28:40He kept consoling her as they drove back home together.
28:45When they got home, Mr. Bright began to make calls, creating awareness that his daughter was missing.
28:56He wanted to go to the police station, but he couldn't leave his wife all alone in the condition she was in.
29:06Sandra sat on the chair in the living room, feeling so weak.
29:12It felt as if she had just lost a part of herself.
29:18She wondered why such a heavy temptation would come to her.
29:24She couldn't blame her husband.
29:27She knew it wasn't intentional on his side.
29:31But she wondered why, of all days, it should be the same day that traffic would hold her up.
29:40If only there was no traffic, she might have gotten to school before Naomi met with the accident.
29:48Sandra stood up slowly.
29:51Then she walked towards her room in slow steps after wiping her tears.
29:59Where are you going to, Sandy? Mr. Bright asked, looking at his wife.
30:06Sandra just shook her head from left to right and kept walking towards her room.
30:13She entered her room and knelt down beside her bed.
30:19Father, I know you won't let anything happen to the only child you've given me.
30:27I know you will heal her, even though she's not here with me.
30:33Whatever hospital she has been taken to, let her be healed.
30:39Because I trust in you, Lord, in the name of Jesus.
30:45Amen. Mr. Bright responded loudly.
30:51Sandra turned and looked at him.
30:55He had followed her into the room.
30:59Mr. Bright consoled his wife.
31:03They had no appetite for food.
31:06He took his wife to the bathroom and helped her take a shower.
31:11After they were done, they retired to bed.
31:16Both Mr. Bright and Sandra couldn't find sleep as lots of questions kept running through their minds.
31:26Who had taken Naomi?
31:28Why did they leave for another city with Naomi without their consent?
31:34Was Naomi really safe out there?
31:37How would they get to see their only daughter again?
31:43Tina started sobbing bitterly as she saw the condition of Naomi.
31:49Mr. David held his wife and took her out of the room.
31:54The doctor had warned them not to disturb Naomi to avoid any complication.
32:00Years ago, when Mr. David got married to Tina, Tina got pregnant for the first time.
32:08The couple were so happy for their incoming child.
32:12It took only a few weeks and Tina had a miscarriage.
32:17She cried because she couldn't tell what actually caused the miscarriage.
32:23She took in again.
32:26This time, she tried being careful and avoided everything the doctor told her to avoid.
32:34Finally, she gave birth to a baby boy.
32:38Mr. David and Tina were so happy.
32:42They called their little boy Pascal.
32:46After the birth of Pascal, the doctor came with a sad news that Tina won't be able to take in anymore due to some complications which she had.
32:59Mr. David and Tina were not that worried because they had cut in their bundle of joy and they never wanted many children in the first place.
33:10Pascal grew into a very smart child.
33:14He was admired by many because of how intelligent he was.
33:20He became his parents' pride.
33:24As time rode by, Pascal fell sick.
33:28He was taken to the hospital for treatment and after some treatment, he got better.
33:36After a few weeks, he got sick again.
33:41He was once again taken to the same hospital and he got better.
33:46It suddenly became a habit for Pascal to fall sick after every week.
33:54It didn't disturb Mr. David and Tina that much because they had money to buy drugs for their son.
34:02Pascal then began to lose weight and his sickness became so serious.
34:08That was when Tina suggested that they change to another hospital.
34:14Mr. David agreed and Pascal was taken to another hospital.
34:20When they got to the hospital, a doctor was called because of how serious Pascal's case was.
34:28After much check-up with the doctor, he called the couple into his office, leaving Pascal lying on the hospital bed.
34:41The doctor told David and Tina that their son had leukemia, blood cancer.
34:49He told them that leukemia was controllable and treatable in children,
34:55but Pascal's case had reached its peak and he could die at any moment.
35:02He advised Mr. David and his wife to go and spend their last moment with their son.
35:10Tina cried her eyes out in the doctor's office.
35:15Then she went with David to go and see their son.
35:20When they arrived, Pascal was just staring at his parents with his eyes partly opened.
35:28The couples tried their best to hide their tears.
35:33Pascal smiled at his mother while holding her tight.
35:38Suddenly, Tina could feel Pascal's grip loosening up.
35:45She looked at his son and realized that Pascal was gone.
35:51She shook him vigorously, trying to wake him up, but he was really gone.
35:59Mr. David stood looking at his son and tears ran down his cheeks.
36:07While Tina hugged Pascal, crying her eyes out.
36:12Looking at Naomi, who was lying down with bandages,
36:16made Tina remember how her son had given up the ghost on a hospital bed while smiling at her.
36:25Who knows? Who knows if she's the only one her parents have just like us?
36:32How will they cope without their daughter?
36:35Tina asked her husband in tears.
36:39Tomorrow morning, I'll go back and look for our parents, using the name on the school uniform.
36:46Mr. David said, still consoling his wife.
36:52The next morning, Mr. Bright woke up.
36:56He sat on his bed, thinking of how he was going to find his only daughter.
37:02He decided he was going to go to the police station and lay a complaint about his missing daughter.
37:10A call came through his phone.
37:13It was from the proprietors of the school.
37:17She was calling to plead for forgiveness and assure him that the school was going to help and make sure Naomi is brought back to him.
37:28Mr. Bright knew that those words only came because she was afraid of losing her school.
37:35He only wanted his daughter to be found and nothing more.
37:40So he left for the police station to lay a complaint about his missing daughter.
37:47The police assured Mr. Bright that they would try their best to bring his daughter back to him.
37:56By the time Mr. Bright came back from the police station, he wanted to go to work.
38:04But in a second thought, he decided to go back home and be with his wife.
38:10He got back home and discovered that the door was open.
38:16He had asked Sandra to shut the door behind him.
38:21Mr. Bright opened the door slowly to know why the door was still left open.
38:27Back at the hospital, Mr. David went back to where Naomi was lying with his wife Tina.
38:35She hadn't moved ever since the surgery was done.
38:39She lay still with the white clothes she was changed into and the bandage on her head had a slight stain of blood.
38:50The couple just sat on an empty bed opposite where Naomi lay.
38:56She's so beautiful and adorable, Tina said hugging her husband as they stared at Naomi.
39:05Yes, she is. Her parents must be lucky to have her.
39:10Thank God the operation was successful, Mr. David said with a smile.
39:16He looked at his watch and the time said 2 minutes past 1 a.m.
39:24I think you need to go back home and rest, my dear. You have to be at work early, remember? Mr. David said to his wife.
39:34Tina tapped her phone and saw that it was early morning already.
39:39She told her husband that she wouldn't be able to find sleep if she went back to the house.
39:47Mr. David tried persuading his wife, but she wanted to stay with him and Naomi.
39:54He felt the way Tina just kept staring at Naomi with so much love.
40:02As time went by, Tina slept off on her husband's laps while Mr. David leaned on the wall sitting on the bed.
40:12The reflection of the early morning sun found its way into the room where Mr. David and his wife were.
40:20Noises of people moving around inside the hospital woke Mr. David and Tina up.
40:28They were tired. The first thing they did was to check on Naomi.
40:34She was still sleeping and had not yet opened her eyes.
40:39Mr. David left the room and went to get the nurse that was attending to Naomi.
40:47He asked for the uniform that Naomi was putting on earlier before they had her clothes changed.
40:55The nurse gave the uniform to Mr. David.
40:59He went outside and placed the uniform perfectly at the back of his seat.
41:05After staring at Naomi for a while, Tina left the hospital room.
41:12She was already running late for work.
41:16She left Mr. David in the hospital and left for their house.
41:21Mr. David gave the nurse some tip and asked her to look after Naomi.
41:28Then he left the hospital and went towards his car.
41:33Something surprised Mr. David.
41:37He had two flat tires.
41:40He never noticed it when he had come to keep Naomi's uniform.
41:47He had just one spare tire so he decided to walk down the road to get help.
41:54Two minutes later, Mr. David came back with his own and his tire was changed.
42:01It was time for him to travel back to the city where he had knocked Naomi down to look for her parents.
42:08As Mr. David approached the said city, something strange happened.
42:15He turned to pick up the uniform which he had placed perfectly at the back of his car.
42:22But to his greatest bewilderment, the uniform wasn't there anymore.
42:28Mr. David stepped on his brakes immediately.
42:33He decided to clear off the road and search for the uniform well.
42:38He parked his car and came down.
42:43He searched for the uniform but it was nowhere to be found.
42:48Who do you think hid Naomi's school uniform?
42:53Do you think Tina would want Naomi to return to her biological parents?
42:59What do you think would be Tina's ulterior motives?
43:03We will find out in the next episode.
