2024-10-29 19:42:56Arnold was rushed into the operation room just immediately we got to the city hospital. I paced about the reception in his blood stained all over my pink pyjamas. A familiar smell overcame me, the pungent smell of the hospital that reeked of my nostrils.
The smells of sickness, antiseptic, mortality, the putrid smells that would make you never want to be in here. This is not a place anyone wanted to be. Not even the problems and the tears you see in patients faces. The place was clean and tidy, so I don't need to feel irritated about anything at all.
Just then, a patient was rushed in with an oxygen in his nose. The female guardians eyes were heavy with tears as she roamed about in confusion. She was a slim and dark skinned lady robed in a fabric styled in gown. Her hair was messy, in brown colour. She wandered down to the waiting room where few patients are. I guessed those ones are appointed patients.
I caught a guy at the middle of the pa

Mum had been visiting since the beginning the incident happened. It had been a week now, Arnold still haven't wake up from coma. Not even a sign that he would wake up anytime soon.I laid down on the long chair in Arnold's ward asleep then I felt a touch on my skin. I moved my body a bit. The hand on my skin again, I opened up my eyes reluctantly to see a tall figure in front of me.A muscular arm and a long face with beard in his chin. His whole skin was dark but fresh. His teeth made a difference as he widened up his lips."You?! What are you doing here?" I frowned at him."Hey! Calm down wife! I am just here to check on you. You haven't been coming to work, because of your broken husband to prevent your already broken marriage." He sat close to Arnold on bed and that alone made me boiled up.I jerked up from where I laid. I walked a few steps down to him and pulled him up on the bed."I don't need your sympathy so just leave me and my husband a

"Hello hello! It is a bright new day–oh! Look at them."I stretched my hand grudgingly and made few sound to the reaction of the voice that came through early morning."Come on. Arnold is awake.""Hmm!" I opened up my eyes. I was still on his chest as our gazes met with each other. "Oh! Good morning Loveth." I got up from his chest, then he gasped out. "Are you okay? Oh my God, I slept on your chest the whole night."Loveth chuckled covering up her mouth with the colourful– yellow, green and pink flower in her hand."Is it funny?""Of course it is. That must be hell for him and you know he can't talk just yet.""Oh God! I am really sorry.""Hello! Good morning this beautiful morning."We both looked back to the door to see the doctor."Hi doc!""Hello doctor!" Loveth said as she dropped her portable handy bag on the sofa with the flower."This is a beautiful morning indeed," he moved clos

"You are always on her side and you are doing this just to make her feel good. That is not how it should work Monica. Learn how to talk senses into her." Arnold dropped the face towel in his hand on the dressing table.He was just coming down from the gym when I started this argument."Senses you said? Is she a kid Arnold? She is old enough to sleep in her man's house, she is old enough to have someone by her side, a companion and you are against it. Where has she gone wrong?" I followed him as he paced around the room."She is old enough, but she is not mature enough. Loveth still act as a kid, don't you get? I don't want her to think she is independent, as long as she still lives with me then she should let me make the decision for her. I know what I am saying." He halted and dropped his hand on his waist."You think you can? But I can't make decision for her? Right? Isn't that what you think? Am I not like a sister to her?" I dropped the dress I was fo

"Ai!!" Mum screamed out my name. I still didn't volume down the loud music buzzing all over my room. "You need to hurry, you are late for school.""I am coming mum." I responded in a loud voice as the music swallowed half of my voice.I moved my body and sang along the hip hop music by ed-sheeran and Justin bieber titled "I don't care". I flicked my white, long sleeve, well ironed shirt onto my back, then I buttoned up as I shook my head to the song.Yes! This is what I inherited from my parents', neatness. I picked the short plitted skirt on my well laid bed in pink bed sheet.Yeah! When I'm with my baby yeah! Oww! I packed my long hair– just like mum's in buns, then I flipped my back pack on my back.Set for school. I checked out myself at the mirror. My colorful tie was well placed, and my hair was well combed.I turned off the music that played through the pink MP3. I inspected my room once again as my eyes bumped into the well decorated wall by my parents' of course.My pictures w

"Hey you!"I stopped at my pace.Was that to me?I looked back to see a short dark skinned boy in the same uniform as mine. I scratched my head and wrapped my arm over my bosom, waited up for him."What's up?" He got to me and stretched his hand forward for a handshake."You are so rude you know?" I rolled my eyes at him and walked away."Hey! I just asked for a handshake. Is that too much to ask for?" He met up with me."Why must you want to shake hands with a girl? Respect ladies, that should be the rules. Right?""I don't think I disrespected you that way." I stared into his black eyeball. He had an attractive look on the face and a full hair in the eyes."According to my parents' which I know myself it is right, it is disrespectful." I halted and his silky hair brushed my eyes.He chuckled, "really? OK, my bad. I am Brayden and you?"Was that funny? If not for his cuteness, I would have just ignored him, but he was still nothing compared to my dad. I must say, mum chose smartly."

"Come on Ai!" Brayden dragged me out of the class like a hero he thought he was, down to the school corridor where had became silent.Teachers had got themselves in each classes, students' had been engaged in school activities too. The few sound that was heard was that of the teachers as they gave their explanation and few chortled of students' that must had been the result of teachers funny gestures. I jerked my hand away from him. I took over the grip ness and we both headed down to the terrace. I paced down to where flowers are being used as decoration. Students' project of plants was placed carefully at the corner of the terrace.I turned back to see Brayden wrapped his arm around his chest. I could saw he was expecting me to say something."Why did you interfere?" Word found itself out. "You should have just let go, why did you do that?" My voice raised up unexpectedly."I can't sit there and acted like nothing is wrong. I gat to do something." He defended, of course he would def

Kelvin yanked Brayden hair while he knelt on the floor. His lips bled in blood, his face had already been branded with little bruises. He groaned as his hair was almost pulled out.A tall and slimmed figure, one of Kelvin's squad smashed the bucket of water in his hand to Brayden's face. He breathed in and out as his eyes almost closed.Kelvin let go of tbe hair, then Brayden ended up laying on the floor. He groaned as Kelvin kicked him with his heavy boot – there were three tall guys that stood behind Brayden, included the one that splashed the water, where two of those are SS3 students', can't believe they could be so dumb to call their junior 'boss'. They folded their hands on their loosed tie. They rolled up their sleeve and had their upper button opened, their shirt was turk out of their trouser. They smirked as Kelvin do justice to the innocent new boy."Next time, you don't messes with me and if you failed to show up by 7:00am tomorrow, you will be ruined." He kicked him again

"Hey! Brayden! I have been here for few minutes and you just sat down there acting du–"Gosh! Calm down Ai!"Dumb right?" He feasted his eyes on me while he plopped down on the wooden chair at the library. "You can insult me as you want Ai, go on!" He focused back on the physics textbook in front of him.I grabbed the chair in front of the long table and dropped my hand on the table. "Sorry! I– I am sorry for what they did to you because of me. I am sorry for not appreciating what you did on my behalf. I am sorry for my rude behavior towards you and I am –""It is fine Ai," he leered at me. "I am not angry at you." His voice came out calmly."Are you sure?" I gaped at him."Yes, I just wanna avoid a close relationship." He focused on the book like I wasn't the one he was talking to."Are you kidding me? Why? That means you are still angry at me. I am cool to be with, I –""Ai! I am not. Can we just end this discussion right now.""Is it Kelvin?""Ai! Please!""Al–"Just then, Kelvin s

"Woahhhhhhh! Babyyyyy!" Akila screamed as I walked inside the club house dazzling with different kind of disco colours to make sure her voice was heard through the music playing loudly."Yeahhhh!" I scurried down to her in my black heels, clad in a nude gown that exposed half of my lap. I threw my hands up as we both dance playfully to the music."I miss you so much baby."We both cackled then I tug my hair dangling on my cheeks to my ear."I miss you too."A welcome party was organized for the SS3 students' one month after the completion of our mock exam, looking forward to writing WAEC.Everyone dancing away their sorrows in their different kind of sexy dress.

Dad uttered."No dad! I am just – I am –" I stuttered.That wasn't a good thing!"Go on and come back." It sounded like a command and I just have to obey that."Ok!" I got to my room to switched off my phone. I threw it on the bed in anger and paced around my room.He should have just stop calling, why does he had to call continuously. Just be positive Ai. Dad will trust you. What if he didn't?I got back to the living room and acted like nothing was wrong.

"What is Victor doing here Ai? Arnold? I mean, how did you came across him?""By chance mum. Please move forward." I demonstrated with my hand like he knew not what that meant.Brad moved forward with his dad reluctantly."After everything he did to our family. I almost lost Arnold because of his wicked act. I almost lost my own life. You wouldn't have been here if not for God Ai because both of us would have been dead by now all because of him. So what is he doing here? Why are you here?" Mum raised her voice higher at him."I am aware everything I did in the past could cost your life and I still kept doing it out of my own selfish motives even after I had a son already." He said lowly.I never knew the cold hearted man I met yesterday could be pitiful."What! You had a son during those times?""Yes, I impregnated a lady during my NYSC. I told her to go abort th

Why don't you just make a good relationship with him and forget it ever happened."The journey was a silent one with little breeze hovering the little dirt around."I wish I could but he is not even ready to accept his past mistakes. He never sees it as one. My mum still have yo beg my father for love.

I lifted up my head to let the liquid stayed in my eyelids. I turned back to him as he stared at me curiously. I looked down to the floor than back to him."Brad,""Yes. I am listening.""I – I was never –""Children, Brayd! Ai!" Brad's mum distracted with her call on us. "Come down and eat. I prepared something.""We should go to your mum now." I said as I stretched my thumb to the door."No! I want you to talk to me first. Is it about what happened to you or there is more to it?" He held up my chin, made sure his eyes was directly into mine."Will you still love a liar like me?" The tears flipped down my eyes unknowingly."Ai, you are scaring me right now. Liar? How?" He quickly pulled me into a hug, and rubbed down my hair."I was never raped Brad. It all lies. He never dig the strange thing in, but he never stops – stops scratc

I staggered down to the living room in aimed to go into my room as I was saved by my dad from falling. I looked into his eyes and tears escaped from my eyes."Are you okay love? What happened?"I cried out then I quickly embraced him. "I am sorry dad, and I miss you," I whimpered. "I am sorry. I have made a mistake. I committed an unforgiving crime dad.""You haven't committed a crime my dear and you deserve to be angry at me. I am sorry love. Just have it in mind that I love you and your mother a whole lot." He stuck my head on his shoulder."Dad, I – I was never raped. I am still a virgin. It was confirmed by a doctor dad. I –""Are you serious?" He disengaged from me to stare into my guilty eyes. He smiled and embraced me back just again. "You should be happy love. You don't deserve that punishment.""But dad, Lina and Kelvin?""They are in

Dad moved out of his room as I was about walking out of the house to school. Our eyes on each other. His sympathy gaze caught my attention, calling for forgiveness. I still can't help to think of it, that my dad was actually responsible for my mum misfortune."Hi love!"I nodded my head and stared at him with strong gaze. "I wouldn't want to be late for school dad. See you later.""I know my Ai didn't care if she got late to school or not. She just wanna avoid her irresponsible father."The word struck my hearts. My father was never irresponsible in his duties as a father. Why didn't I got the fact that all was in the past now, and my mum was finally happy."What if she is just acting like she is happy," I raised my glare at him. "Dad, I know mum said she is happy, but deep inside, what if – what if she is never happy. Dad, did you think I will forever be happy for what has b

I and my family having dinner at the dining table as my mind trailed off to the conversation I had with Brad.How can he expect me to fix his broken hearts while I have mine too?It was so much to ask for."Is this about Lina or your neurologist?" Mum brought me back to life."Huhn!""You have been toying with your food since. Why aren't you eating?" Mum said in a mouthful food.I looked down at the rice and plantain that was dished in front of me."What happened dear? Are you okay?" Dad gained my attention to him."Do you have your past too dad? And," I shook the meal with my spoon. "Does it still haunt you?""Why are you asking such questions?" Dad reached for the glass of chilled water in front of him."I just wanna know.

"My child, go meet Brad in his room." She said in a more requested tone, with a slight must do voice."But –""There is something between he and his father that haven't been sorted out up until now. I don't want him to have such feelings of sadness about his father anymore." She had my hand on hers with her eyes fixed on it."Okay, I will go ma'am." I smiled in a tight lips then she did the same with a small of her teeth exposed out.I watched my steps carefully as I moved up the stairs like they told me not to put my foot on ground. There was only one room with a black door at the right hand of the corridor. I opened up the door slightly and peeped into the room after a little dramatic action – my fingers on my head then my left and right chest.So boring!
