Previously....Femi.The doctor sighed "I wish I could help you sir but you have to be on bed rest for some days, you also have to stray physiotherapy before you can be able to move around even in a wheelchair. So sir please, stay out until we give you a go to move around." The doctor said and I nodded.I didn't like it but it was not like I could get up and move by myself and Tunde was not going to budge so I had to do this on my own. That meant listening to the bloody Doctor."How do you feel now?" Kola asked."Better. I can literally feel the stitches though. Very uncomfortable.""I'm just glad this whole thing is almost over." Tunde said."Yeah.. it's not over till Ama wakes up. Meanwhile I need some water if you.. don't mind." I asked. My throat was dry and parched. I was being fed and hydrated by the tubes but the fact that I was not drinking anything made my throat suffer."Mom and dad were here earlier. They had to go home because it was getting late. Mom is being dramatic as
Previously…Femi."Yeah she's gold." Tunde said. It was nice to talked about our mother like this so that we would remind ourselves how much she loved us even though she was very embarrassing."Anyways we're glad you're finally awake." Kola said."Yeah thanks. Can't wait to be back on my feet. I might as well lose my ripped body in here." I said and we laughed."Nah you won't. It's too ripped. Don't worry Ama won't complain about a little diminishing." Tunde said.I cheesed "I can't wait to see her. I mean... that's the whole point of all this." "Yeah you'll see her soon. Once she wakes up though the Doctor will tell us so don't you worry. The surgery didn't last too long and they didn't complain of any complication so she should wake soon." Kola said."I can't wait man.. I can't wait."——-Femi.It had been a few days since I had woken up. Three to be exact. It wasn't easy living and breathing without seeing Ama.I was putting my back into my physiotherapy just so that I could see m
Previously...Femi.Kola had said he would stay at they door and wait for me. I rolled my wheelchair closer to the bed. It was hard. As I started seeing glimpses of her. Her leg, hand. I felt defeated and helpless. "Hey Femi." Matthew said as I came closer.I looked at Matthew and nodded at his greeting. I didn't want to talk about anything with him for now. I just wanted to take in Ama. My love.She looked pale, like the blood had washed away from her face. It was like a stab in my heart. "What is this?" I whispered without knowing. I was deeply frustrated. I was so angry. I felt like everything we had done was going down the drain."Femi, you need to have faith. She'll wake up. I know she will." Matthew said looking longingly at her. He missed her. It was obvious. I did too. "I'm just..." I wiped my mouth. "I'm just thinking. Is this what we would get after everything?""She's a fighter. She will come back. She'll wake up. There's no way she will give up now." He said. He seemed v
Previously…Femi.“Sir, you are the first person I’m telling this. I haven’t even told her brother.” He said.“What do you mean by that? Who gave you the right to hide this stuff. I’m not paying you to pamper my mental health Doctor.” I snapped at him. I didn’t know what it was but I braced myself because I knew it was bad.“Apologies sir.” The doctor said.“Well, start talking??” I said.“During the surgery, there was a small issue. Well not that small but an issue non the less. She was having blood clots at first but we took care of that very quickly and then once we planted the kidney, her body started rejecting it. The surgery went on for hours on end as we tried to administer every treatment in the book to make sure her body begins to accept the kidney but it didn’t work sir.” He said.My heart began to race. What was the meaning of this? We hit another brick wall again. I sighed and pinched my nose. “So what? You couldn’t do it and then you sewed her up and put her on life suppo
Previously....Femi.I had healed pretty faster than the doctors and medical practitioners were expecting. But with Ama, there was nothing. Nothing had changed and it was getting me anxious and worked up. The doctor kept telling us that there wasn't anything to worry about and that she would be fine. He also said that she's not in harm's way just yet. I wasn't buying that though. If she would be fine there should have been some progress by now, but it's nothing.I had woken up feeling very down trodden. Did God not hear me when I talked to him before? Did he hear but does not give a rat's ass about this? I don't think that was the case. Ama was too pure to be shut out by God."I don't know what to do anymore" I whispered to myself. I felt defeated. The moment I thought I had the love of my life. Someone who made me want to be better for me and for her. The one person I wasn't afraid to give up everything for. I was now about to lose her. It was heartbreaking and gut wrenching to say
Previously...Femi."Is it just me or she's getting a lot leaner?" Tunde said. I nodded. She was indeed getting leaner and it was very frustrating. I couldn't bare seeing her deteriorate like this."She'll be fine. She's a fighter." Tunde said.It irked me when he said that sentence "I hate that. She doesn't have to be fighting for anything right now. It's a shame she's in this predicament that she clearly doesn't deserve. You know I would have preferred if I was in her shoes and she was walking around and healing and going about her life.""Why are you even saying that?" Tunde said. He looked surprised."Well because she already suffered so much. Plus I wouldn't be at risk of dying because I'm actually healthy. I have one good kidney but she has none." I said.He thought about it and sighed "i get it. I do."I heaved a deep sigh "all this is agonizing." I said.I was deep in thought thinking of what to do. I knew I was anything but a doctor so I couldn't do anything even if I tried s
Previously…FemiTunde and Radike were following behind me. "Ya just stay here. Let me talk to him alone." I said when we got to his door and they agreed.As I lifted my hand to knock on the door, the doctor opened it. His face held shock and surprised."Mr Akinjola. What a pleasant surprise. Please do come in." He said. He was acting awkward because he probably felt like I was going to give him a lashing again.I went in and sat down while he did the same. "So sir, how may I help you?""I'll just cut to the chase because I'm not here to beat about the bush and I also don't have time. I need to leave for a few hours." I said. The doctor's eyes widened and he raised his eyeebrows."Sir, you haven't been discharged yet. If you leave it could affect your wound and rip your stitches." He said."I've been walking around this hospital for days now and they haven't ripped. A few hours out of here won't make any difference to be quite frank with you." I argued. I did this in a calm manner. I
Previously….Femi."What the actual fuck is happening here?!" I yelled making all attention to fall on me, Kola and the HR managers were sitting at his desk in question mode while there was a girl who was in the process of her turn for the interview sitting across from them. They all looked shocked to see me, including the prospect."Okay everyone that is not Kola better leave right now." Tunde said in a much calmer tone than mine. The HR people and the girl scurried away in fear.Kola just sat there smiling and grinning. Who the he think he was grinning to."You little bitch." I said with venom. "What were you trying to do? Replace Ama?"Kola chuckled "Femi, first of all what are you even doing outside the hospital? You're here to risk your life for her again."Kola talking about Ama triggered me. My heart race and my nose flared. I didn't have the energy to warn him so I lunged at him.———Femi.I got caught mid air by Tunde while trying to lunge at Kola. The anger and annoyance in
