“135th story”
First published; Mar.26.2020
Pegah was the head nurse of the surgical department of a hospital.
Between all the patients on the crowded floor, a couple drew Pegah’s attention. The wife was sick, and the husband brought her from their village to the city for her critical surgery. The patient had a tumour in her brain, and it was going to be a very complicated operation.
The wife insisted on going home and said she didn’t need surgery. She reminded her husband that they couldn’t afford the hospital, and for a fifty percent chance of surviving, it wouldn’t be smart to do the surgery and go through all the expenses.
Out of their conversations, Pegah figured that they had two children, their daughter was in university and their son in high school. Every night the husband called from a payphone in the hallway to his son, and the conversation was always the same: “Your mother is fine, we will come home soon. Did you water your mother’s plants? Keep the house clean, and you know how important it is to her. Take care of yourselves.”
After a long stressful surgery, the wife came out alive, and everything went well. Pegah saw the joy and happiness in the husband’s face. He sat beside his wife’s bed until she opened her eyes.”
The husband’s eyes were playing fireworks out of happiness. He jumped towards the payphone again and was sending the same message to his son.
Pegah was passing by and saw the husband talking, without holding the phone. When the husband saw Pegah noticed his fake phone call, and pointed at her to please don’t say a word.
Then he whispered: “We sold our house to pay for her surgery. I didn’t want her to worry. Now that she is well again, everything will be alright, that’s all I wanted.”
Pegah has seen many flowers, candies, and teddies to show love to their loved ones in this hospital. But she has never seen a pure love like this before.
Being a genuinely human and loving someone indeed is just beautiful and priceless.
There is nothing as precious as love and life…

That’s very kind of you Michael, stay safe.
I wonder why on Earth people have to pay for surgery. Maybe I’m just an old socialist.
I believe it’s every human’s right to be insured by their governments.
Sadly, here in the USA, selling our home is the only option for many families when faced with a life-threatening illness that requires surgery and hospitalization.
Health insurance should be available for every citizen, our health doesn’t matter to our governments.
In Canada, you’ve got a much better health care system than we do.
Yes for sure, but there’s many medical complications that’s not covered especially medicine.
Love has such power to conquer worries.
Thanks sweetheart, stay safe.❤️
