It was a new day at Albert Jeff Automobiles, and the staff resumed one after the other. Everyone was full of life as they got ready for the day's work. Donald arrived late this morning compared to the other days. He was known for his puctuality, even though he was the General Manager. But on this fateful day, he was late. He felt weak with pains in his tummy earlier that morning, but he still managed to go to work. He had the intention of closing from work earlier that day so that he could rest. As he walked into the company, he was greeted by the staff left and right. He waved his hands to them in response, and walked majestically towards his office. He inserted the key into the door to open it, and almost suddenly, he fell to the ground. "Ahh..." "Ohhh...." Jesus!" were the sudden cries that were from the staff that were around at that time. "Please, wake up! Wake up! The staff with him began to shout and shake his body, expecting him to wake up suddenly, but Donald lay stiff

"Errrmm...We can always get a kidney donor," Mr Jeff replied to his wife. "Then... argh...what about you? I think you're healthier than me, and being his parent makes it easier. Why don't we try this, dear?" Mrs Jeff asked her husband. "Errrm...arrh..." Mr Jeff wasn't sure of what to say. He wasn't ready to tell his wife directly that he wasn't ready to donate his kidney. He had heard of what it means to donate a kidney, and how kidney donors needed to be more careful in their lifestyles about what they eat and drink after donating a kidney. Now, he was confused about what to do. He knew that if he told his wife that he wasn't ready to donate his kidney, she would term him to be wicked. She was a very compassionate person, and she didn't mind going out of her way to help someone, even if it was to her disadvantage sometimes. He was sure that she would have loved to donate her kidney, if not for the state of her health. She had never had sound health in the last year; she was only

The hospital was yet to find a kidney donor for Donald. He was still on the waiting list and was in critical condition right now. Mr and Mrs Jeff had made several attempts just to get him a donor. His family and loved ones visited him at the hospital and showed him love and care, but no one seemed to be ready to donate his or her kidney for Donald. Back at Albert Jeff Automobiles, some of the staff discussed Donald's critical condition, and how they missed him. It was close of work at the company, and most of the staff were tidying up their desk to go home. "Do you know about the GM's current state of health? I wonder when he'll be resuming back to work," said Cecil, one of Vera's colleagues. "Well, I don't know. I just hope he gets back soon," Vera replied. "Same here. He's so hardworking, and he relates well with everyone. Since his absence from work, the company has felt it one way or the other. He's a unique leader," Cecil said."Well," Vera said as she picked up her bag to le

Just when Vera was about to open the door, she turned and asked the doctor: "Can I donate my kidney?" "Sure...you can," the doctor replied as he looked at her wondering if she was sure about what she just said. "Miss...Vera, are you serious about donating your kidney?" The Doctor tried to confirm."Sure Doctor, I am. Asides from being a boss, Mr Donald Jeff is my friend, and I can't watch him continue to remain in this critical condition. So, I'll do it," Vera said nodding her head. "Okay, we'll need to conduct some tests on you. We will need your blood and urine test results, a chest X-ray and an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). And, all these will determine if you are eligible to donate a kidney," the doctor said. "Alright, Doc. Can the tests be done on me, right away?" Vera asked. The doctor looked at Vera in surprise wondering at her willingness. It was rare to find such, especially when it involved donating a kidney. "Errm...yeah, Miss Vera. You'll only need to wait at the re

Since Donald resumed back to work, he had his eyes on Vera. He seemed to have developed some feelings for her now, so he tried as much as he could to get her attention. It was the close of work at Albert Jeff Automobiles one Tuesday afternoon. As Donald walked to where he had parked his car, he saw Vera standing and talking with a friend a short distance away from where he had parked his car. He had always wanted to see Vera, but it looked like she was avoiding him. So he felt it would be an opportunity to see her now. He decided to sit in his car and wait until Vera was done talking with her friend. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw that Vera was done speaking with her colleague, so he walked up to her. "Hey, Vera. It's so good to see you again. It's funny that we've not been able to see and talk to each other for weeks now, because we've been so engrossed with work," Donald said. "Yes, you're right. Everyone has been very busy with work," Vera replied. "So can we go out
