Štefan Margita (66) gave the most difficult interview of her life. Just five weeks after the death of his beloved wife Hanka Zagorová, he talked about the last days she lived alongside her. He even revealed to the CNN show team Prima News why he had not yet placed the urn with her remains in the family grave in Vyšehrad in Prague.
Štefan Margita even if through your own social networks regularly communicates not only with his fans, but also with the admirers of his beloved wife Hanky Zagorová, but has not yet given a larger interview. She has decided to break the wall of silence only now, five weeks after the death of the singer admired by the nation. And it must be said that this is a very open and heartbreaking confession from a man who has been by his wife’s side until the last seconds. Even though he knew he was dying, he pretended that he would be healed and they planned for the future.
He knew about death in advance
“The doctors warned me in advance that it was very bad. And that was the worst performance I ever had to do. It plays in the sense that when Hanka was lying there, I would always go to her and always ask her what she was going to eat. He really wanted chicken soup, he ate it every day. He has always had an Indian girlfriend. But then the doctors told me the condition was getting worse and it wasn’t good. That I have to count on everything. And at that moment I was walking into the room where Hanka was lying in five seconds, so you have to smile. And you don’t have to show it to yourself” described Margit, saying she couldn’t always hide her sadness from Hanka.
Transfer to the hospital
“Sometimes she recognized it in me. She asked if anything had happened. And I said no, that the doctor said she had better results. And that calmed her down. She was comforted that they were sending her new songs for also the fact that there was talk of a concert in which he will perform at the O2 Arena after a long time. When I got home from the hospital, she asked me if I could take a picture of her red dress. That she would marry them. She wasn’t really counting on anything, and that’s why I’m glad she didn’t. Then I stayed in the hospital 24 hours a day for four days, and it didn’t cross her mind at first. Why am I there? And I said – well, Hani, I’m sad at home already. I just want to be here with you. And she believed me. And she kept asking us what we were going to do. If we go to Slavík. She had no idea it was going to happen ” continued the opera singer, who moved to the hospital on the advice of doctors.
“It was very positive, but then suddenly it started to get very, very bad. The doctors said it would be better if I moved there. But we still had a good time, we laughed. She slept a lot, poor thing. And then he didn’t even want to eat anymore. Thousands and thousands of people are living it. That you are practically sitting next to a loved one and you know that maybe they won’t be there tomorrow. It is a disaster to wait for. Not being able to help was the worst time for me. I do not wish this to anyone, “says Margita, warned in advance by the doctors that the situation was very serious. However, she said, she did not give up hope.
“You don’t want to believe it. When she was lying there, I always went there in the afternoon, I brought her food. Then we had a long conversation. Then I went home. We talked on the phone twenty times. And I thought to myself – I’m sure I’ll come to the hospital tomorrow and they’ll tell me he’s got better. But they couldn’t tell me because he wasn’t getting better. “ says the singer, who not only described the circumstances in which she last arrived at the hospital, but also revealed the true cause of her death.
High temperature
“He had a high fever when I called the doctor, what should I do. He asked how high it was. It was only about 37.5. But I knew over the years it would go up. So he said: immediately Paralen. Then he said. : another Paralen in half an hour, but in two hours he was almost 39 years old. And he stopped communicating. So I was very afraid of it. I called the hospital, so they said to take her. It was two weeks before he died. And the doctor told me he probably won’t come home. ” described Margit, denying in one breath the information that she had suffered a severe stroke before her death.
“That’s not true. Hanka died of her illness, where there was really no chance. She exhausted everyone who is in medicine. And unfortunately nothing could be done there.” revealed Margit, who even described their last moments together in a very emotional interview.
Hana died in her sleep
“And she died on Friday, and on Thursday around half past five she woke up, looked at me and said, baby. And then she slept until morning and died at 11 in the morning. I always asked him if he was in pain. They said no. So he was practically sleeping. Terror. Then you organize things and then you fall. Do not Cry! Hanka is watching you, she will kick you ” described Margit, saying that his greatest support is his brothers, who call him daily, Ivanka Gottova, Dagmar Havelova and close friends.
Štefan still has the urn with him
Despite all the love and attention he receives, he still can’t get over the loss of his beloved wife. This is also the reason why he has not yet placed his urn in the family tomb. “I can’t put her there yet. I have her at home. I think she will be for a long time. This is her house. I’ll go there in the morning, give her a kiss.” I am not able to do this yet. Everything is already settled, but I don’t feel it yet. Everyone can be mad at me or not. But one simply has to do what one feels like. And when you live a wonderful life with someone for thirty years, I don’t want them to leave that apartment “, Margita explained, saying there was no place in their apartment where she couldn’t see Hanka.
A perfect wedding
“We had a perfect wedding. And you can’t forget that. We just didn’t fight. It really was that good. I still think about her. That was her chair. This is where she always sat. I look at the flower, I surrender to the painting. . You’ll laugh, I’m just completely honest. I open the freezer, where he folded everything neatly to fit it. I see Hank everywhere. Everywhere he sat. So that’s terrible. And I don’t want to believe it. I wish I would wake up and say to myself, Jesus, that was it. a terrible dream. But unfortunately it’s not a dream. And those beautiful hands of hers, when she did just that – Štefíčka. It’s just that … I miss, I miss terribly missing” added Margita, whose words make her shiver. However, she has no plans to move out of the shared flat.
And there is a clear reason for this. “Because here’s her dressing room, which I won’t touch. I leave everything there, I talk to her in that dressing room. And I hope she’s watching over me and protecting me, and I still love her and always will.” added Margita in an emotional interview she gave to the show Showtime CNN First News. The station aired the entire interview with Štefan Margita on Wednesday at 8:15 pm
