Previously...Femi.Radike was being defensive for no reason. Who cared if it did it or not . The only people I felt that I had to convince were my parents and Kola. Tunde didn't need much convincing. Kola was a control freak and I knew he would try to stop me."I'm not talking about that because okay if that's the reason then by all means, knock yourself out. But it's Ama that I'm concerned about. She's been going on and on about how she doesn't want us to be the donors. She won't let you do it." Radike highlighted."Then we don't tell her. I'm not going in for the surgery with her anyways. She won't know till after the surgery when we are both awake. She can roast me then I don't fucking care," I said. I had thought about this subject prior to this. I knew she was anti close donors. She wanted someone who she didn't have sentimental attachments for. She didn't want us dying on her account. Did I care about that? No. We just needed to hide the news from her. She didn't have to know i
Previously…Femi.I saw Radike coming down the stairs when I got out. She walked faster to me when she saw that I was approaching."Hey, what's happening. Why do you look so sad?" She asked."Well first of all, I um, Yeah what about Ama. You're coming from there right?" I asked her. That was the first thing on my mind.Radike sighed "yeah, she's the same as she's always been. Um she still hasn't eaten." She told me.I smiled "well, maybe she'll eat when you tell her that we finally found a match.""Really?" Radike said expressing joy on her face."Yeah." I said with a grin."Oh thank God!!" She exclaimed.She stopped and looked at me in the eyes. My smile waned. "Wait a fucking minute. It's you isn't it. You just went to run the tests now." She said. She was always the observant one."Yeah it's me. Why are you acting surprised. You knew that i would do it if I was a match because let's face it. What other choice do we have?" I said.Her face became sad “I know. But Ama won’t like this
Previously…Femi.I decided to call Tunde first before I got there."Hey my bro" Tunde said enthusiastically."Hey Tunes. I'm actually driving over to your house. Got some time for me?""Anything for you my bro. You know my house is always open.""Okay but are you alone?" I asked. I didn't want to be direct and ask about Kola. So I went through the corners."I'm gonna act like you didn't just ask if Kola is here. No he isn't. I'm alone." He said and laughed."You idiot" I said laughing."Anyways be coming. Bring shawarma or I'll punch you in the face before you can lay your burdens." Tunde joked."What is this obsession with shawarma lately. You're slowly turning into Shawarma boy." I teased. He laughed and threw another snarky comments low key shading cheap Lagos girls that fall for a guy after eating a thousand Naira worth of shawarma."I'm a shawarma boy only to you and Kola. I don't go around sleeping with women who buy shawarma for me. I do the buying." Tunde said.I laughed out
Previously...Femi.Tunde pinched his nose. "Bro. This is a piece of information we are supposed to be celebrating about. You went and said it was complicated. I asked you why and you're here telling me things that I already know." He scolded me. He seemed anxious so I understood why he was talking like that."Calm down Tunes, I'm getting to it." I said.He nodded and paid attention "Go on then""So the Doctor offers or kind of suggested a solution. That I should get tested." I said and gave him the side eye.He didn't move. It seemed as though Tunde was waiting for me to continue."So did you get tested?" He asked."Yes yes I got tested Tunes. That's where the complication come in." I said and stared him in the eyes. He raised his eyebrow in question and then raised them both in realization."What the fucking hell Femi." He said with shock written all over his face."I have to do it bro" I shrugged,"Man... this is dangerous bro." He said shaking his head."What's more dangerous is l
Previously…Femi.I dialed Kola’s number while leaving Tunde’s compound.“So he remembers me today?” Kola’s voice came through the loudspeaker.I shook my head and rolled my eyes. “I didn’t forget you Kola.”“Oh you did. Ever since your chick has been in the hospital you’ve been MIA. Like in every sense of the word.” Kola said. There he went playing the victim and blaming Ama for my absence.I shook my head again. I noticed that I always did that anytime I was talking to Kola. It was maddening.“Yeah well if you had gotten your head out of your ass long enough to realize that Ama has a terminal illness then maybe you’ll understand and .. I don’t know… actually come and see her. Anyways I just called to tell you that I need to see you, so where are you at the moment?” I asked. I couldn’t leave my statement open ended to a avoid an argument.“Wow you actually left her long enough to look for me. That’s great. I actually just got home from the office. I hope I’m safe. This your wanting t
Previously...Femi."Kola, for Ama's transplant. Remember I told you that her time had gone down to four weeks so we had two weeks to get a kidney or we were in deep trouble." I said. I tried to be calm at the fact that Kola stupidly did not remember anything about Ama's illness. I even thought her just wanted to seem like he didn't care because I didn't know him to be this void of human emotions."Oh yeah yeah I know. So what about it?" He asked and sipped his juice. He had poured out a cup for me earlier but that was the last thing on my mind at the moment."So I went to see the doctor today and he told me that he had reached a dead end. Before that, Kola also told me that he had exhausted all his contacts as well. But he suggested something to me..." I said and tried to see if he would ask me what in a way to know if he was even listening as his glasses were so tinted that I could not read his eyes."Okay, so what did he suggest?" He said. I opened my mouth to reply but his new cat
Previously…Femi.He dropped his cutlery and looked at me again. "Are you serious? It's you? Meaning you did the test and you agreed to doing the transplant?""Yes. I've made the decision. There's literally no one else and her time is running out." I explained why I had no choice even though it didn't have to be a big deal. Kola sighed "and it just has to be you? This is mental. I don't think it's worth it.""What do you mean" I frowned. I just knew Kola was going to get me pissed off again."Well I mean, it's a girl. We don't make those kinds of sacrifices for girls. These chicks are users and if you're not careful, after all this you'll just get fucked over and she won't care. I won't advice you to risk your life for her." He said quite blatantly. I knew this was going to be the excuse."First of all, she's not just any girl. She's my girlfriend and I love her. Right now she's helpless. I'm the only person who can save her right now. What kind of a devil would I be to overlook that
Previously...Femi.I picked my phone and called Ama because I felt as though I'd been out for too long."Babe?" She said when she picked up. Her voice now sounded better than before and it warmed my heart."Aren't you lively now" I said and smiled.She chuckled "don't mind me. I was in my feelings. Sorry for not talking to you before.""It's fine. I understand. If I was in your shoes only God knows how moody I'd be." I said.She laughed again. Music to my ears. It was so good to hear her laugh again. "So where are you? I haven't seen you since you told me about the transplant." She said. She sounded like she'd been worrying about where I was."I'm actually on my way to my mom's place. She asked me to come do something for her but it won't take long. I'll be with you soon." I told her.She sighed and stayed silent for some seconds "It's fine. Don't rush o, take your sweet time. You've not left this hospital since I woke up so don't rush on my account. I would kill to go outside for o
