Heart Attacks!
He has never seen his father so happy. May be a person is the happiest when he plays with his grand children. He was laughing so loud, jiggling his whole body. It was a fine Saturday evening.
It is another jolly-holy Sunday. Everyone went to church. He also went for the service, and was watching the TV, while it happened. His father was calling aloud from his bedroom. First his mother went and mean time someone came, so she was sent to suss out the visitor. After a while, he heard his father calling out loud again, this time by his name. He forthwith went to his room, as he sensed something unusual in his father’s voice. His father was rolling in the bed with pain and asked him to rub down his back. His father was in the 60s, but a quite healthy man. His father was trying to cough vigorously, as if he had some trouble to breath. He had no idea what to do, but he tried to knead his back, baffled what is going on. By the time, everyone in the house came… and some one was shouting to rub his father’s chest. Things were going out of control, and everyone got alarmed. They decided to take him to the hospital immediately.
He ran out and kept his car ready to go. Mean while his father dressed himself, with some help from others. As they walked him to the car, he suddenly knelt down, pressing both hands on his chest and screaming with pain. Himself and others squalled, but he wonder whether his father heard them. They immediately dragged him to the car. But he was a tall, well-built guy and was quite heavy. Somehow everyone managed to the car, but his father had collapsed and couldn’t stand or walk.
The next thing he remembers is zipping to the nighest hospital. Just a few meters from his home, his father tried to stretch his legs, and made a low noise. Within minutes they were in the hospital, but being Sunday, most of the staff was off. The family had to again get him to the stretcher and his father was put in a bed in the Intensive Care Unit. They tried giving injections and even shock, but the Electro Cardio Graph didn’t show any slope of hope. Doctor called him aside and confirmed his father’s demise. He stood there stunned, bemused and enfeebled. It was something any son couldn’t stand! Being the eldest son, he had to help his widowed mother and fatherless siblings get thru this greatest disaster in the family.
When looking back, he still thinks that there are some things in life from which there is no absolute recuperation. His father left them because of a heart attack, but the heart attack was for the whole family... and still attacks!
