Zara.
Aminu looked like he was about to chop someone's head off, that was how angry he looked.
"Aminu..." Kojo said, acknowledging him.
"Kojo, I told you not to come here." He said walking closer. His tone was so deep and crisp. I could hear his anger. What did he mean by he wasn't to come here?
Kojo laughed at him "You're not the one that will tell me what to do"
"This is my fiancee so I have every right!"
"You have no right Aminu..." I butted in. I was sick of Aminu treating me like he owned me. It was becoming annoying. Aminu looked at me with hurt on his face but I didn't care. He had to know that I wasn't engaged to him anymore.
"Aminu stop overwhelming the poor lady. I'll leave though but I'll be back to see you Zara okay?" Kojo said.
I looked at him and smiled "okay"
I looked at Kojo until he left the doors of my ward.
"Zara what was that about?" Aminu complained.
"No what was that about. Why were yo
Zara.I couldn't believe my ears. Aminu's brother was the one who shot me? What the f*ckng hell. I wasn't angry because I didn't even know the man, but I was utterly confused. What beef did he have with me.I had pondered a lot on what actually happened to me. I knew I was shot but by whom? I had no clue. So it was a Garba that put me in this condition?"Listen, Patrick is a sociopath and he will pay dearly for his crimes against you so don't take anything to heart. He will be severely dealt with." Kojo tried pacifying me."But I don't understand, why? What did I ever do to him?" I asked.Kojo closed his eyes while I waited for him to speak. "Zara you didn't do anything. Listen, anything I tell you now, is what I was told by Aminu. I don't know if it is the whole story but that's all I know."I nodded waiting for him to carry on.He cleared his throat nervously "Aminu will kill me for telling you this.""He left me so I can't s
Zara.I had just one job, find Aminu, get the bracelet. But how would I find him while being cooped up in the hospital, unable to leave. I was more than determined to get my memories back because I felt helpless without them. I didn't know who was dangerous and who wasn't. What if someone who was dangerous came in here? I wouldn't know to be wary of them. Plus my empathy had been really off lately so I needed to have my memories.I was still trying to call Aminu. Luckily Kojo helped me with my physiotherapy session before he left. Aminu wasn't answering his calls either. It was like he just disappeared into thin air.I decided to call Louis who hadn't come in today."Hey Lou," I said when he finally picked up"Lou? That's a first" he said sarcastically. Typical."Shut up.. Have you seen Aminu?" I asked, cutting to the chase."No no I thought he's with you? He's not there?" He sounded confused.I shook my head before
Zara"I didn't leave you. I told you last night, I would never leave you no matter what you do to me." He said. I looked into his eyes and his sincerity was haunting.I closed my eyes trying to collect my thoughts "So why did you disappear without telling me?""I just needed to clear my head. That's why I came here, the beach calms me. Besides I didn't think you'd care." He shrugged.I gasped at his words and didn't know when I snapped "Care? Of course I care. I was scared and alone today and didn't know what to do. I tried calling you and left you messages...""I haven't checked my phone. I just wanted to be alone okay. I couldn't..." He trailed off and rubbed his bald head.I frowned and came loser. I needed to understand "you couldn't what?"He stayed silent for a while and I let him. I knew he was going to continue talking but probably needed moment. I now understood that this man really did love me. With memories or without, I wa
Zara.Perplexed was not a strong enough word to use describe my reaction to what Aminu had just said to me. Who exactly was this lady?"what's her name and how did she put me here?" I asked Aminu."Well, the story is long, I thought that you're tired." He said. His words making his chest vibrate. It was a soothing feeling."I'm not too tired, I can listen to you all night" I said, meaning every single word. His voice and the reverberations his chest was doing against my head was a feeling I didnt want to end anytime soon."Alright if you say so. Well after I met Jasmine who seemed like she liked me at the time, I honestly didn't have to woo her that much because as soon as she knew who I was she literally started showing up everywhere. Because she was pretty and I liked the attention she was giving me, I kind of became interested in her. She literally was worshipping the ground I walked on and I loved it. But then I didn't really love her, in
Zara.A few days had passed and I couldn't have been happier. The days spent with Aminu were so joyous. We talked and laughed all the time. We joked and played around. It was bliss.My therapy was coming on really well. At this point I didn't need the wheelchair anymore. I could walk on my own using a walking stick. It was all thanks to the Doctor and of course Aminu.Things between Aminu and I were getting better. I was gradually getting to know him and I was getting really fond of him. His sister had come in to see me and when she found out I was an amnesiac she was shocked but started narrating our relationship to me. It turned out that we didn't particularly have a very rosy start but we got there eventually. I actually loved his sister and we hit it off quite well. I also noticed she wasn't very fond of my cousin.Louis and Tanna hadn't come in to see me for a while which was worrisome. I had been trying all along to reach them but they kept saying t
Zara."Welcome home Zara!" The whole room erupted.My hands covered my mouth as I saw everyone here today. It was amazing.It was surreal.There they were. All my friends and people that I'd grown to love over the past week, cheering me on. I had no words to describe the joy I felt about this. Louis who I hadn't seen in a while, Tanna, Tayo and Tiara whom I caught up with on video call, Lanre and an old woman who was on his arm. I also saw my aunt who had been out of the country and was having a hard time coming back to see me. I also noticed two women I hadn't seen since I woke up. Well I would meet them today.The whole living area was decorated so fabulously in red with my name literally scattered all around. I only had a second to take it all in before the hugs started.I looked at Aminu who stood in the distance smiling at me while I was greeting everyone. I mouthed a thank you to him and a blew me a kiss in response.The mus
Zara.I held my head in my hands as I screamed. The pain was piercing and heavy. I felt like my head was about to blow up.I heard muffled sounds as Aminu and Kojo tried to talk to me but all I could hear were clouded noises.It seemed as though my head was going to fall off. The pain was so excruciating that I felt myself slipping away. My body was numb as I was bent over, struggling to breathe.Images flashed through my closed eyes in fast motion. I tried to make coherence of them to no avail. The pain was overwhelming as I still tried to concentrate on everything I was seeing. Faces I didn't know, places I had never been to. One thing stood out though, the bracelets. That was the most lingering picture.And then it stopped. The pain, the images, they all stopped.I let my head go, exhausted from all the pain and I finally looked up at Aminu. I noticed he was cradling me while Kojo was a little far away, taking a call."
Zara.Aminu had did he would be back in the room soon, so I waited for him while surfing my phone which was kept on the night stand beside the bed. This was the first time I was going to open Instagram since I woke up from my comatose position.I saw that I was following a lot of blogs and was making news headlines without knowing. The trending one was that I had just been discharged from the hospital. It read."Billionaire Aminu Garba's fiancee and Heiress to multi million dollar conglomerate Kaph Group, Zara Okafor has been discharged from the hospital following a gun shot wound to the back and one week in coma"This headline was attached to a video of me leaving the hospital with Aminu.I saw comments with people thanking God for my recovery while some couldn't get over my beauty. Their words not mine. The positivity warmed my heart so much and I was so grateful even hough I didn't know any one of them.I went through the news and saw my
