Previously…Kola.Tunde was here. Apparently we both came late for the surgery because none of us had the bright idea to ask Femi what time it was scheduled for."When do you think he will wake up?" Tunde asked me.I shook my head looking at Femi. "Doctor said any moment now. The sedative they gave him was very strong as they said so let's see""Ama is also still knocked out bad. They said she would probably take longer to wake up since she's the one they had to change out kidneys for." Tunde said.Honestly I could care less about Ama in this case. "You know yeah, I have never asked you what you think about the situation with Femi and Ama. You know, Femi giving her his kidney. Wasn't it weird to you?" I asked him.I still wasn't a fan of this whole thing. The only thing I wanted now was for my brother to wake up and start his recovery process. No woman would ever make me do this, except it was my mom."Well, it wasn't." Tunde said."What?" I exclaimed in shock. I thought he felt the s
Previously…Femi.They didn't seem to notice that I was awake because they were busy yapping on about Kola's obsession with Ama and I. It was funny and I had to hold myself from laughing.I slowly began to gain consciousness of my body and every sensation. I was a wreck. The pain I felt in my side was so great and searing. I had never felt such pain in my life before. They must have not given me pain relievers yet.I huffed in pain before finally trying to open my eyes.Tunde probably noticed and alerted Kola and he rushed to get the doctor.I opened my eyes finally and my eyes adjusted to the light "Tunes..." my voice came out very stressed. I cleared my throat.He rushed to my side and told me to relax "Chill bro the doctor is coming okay? How do you feel?" He asked with so much concern."I'm in severe pain.." I croaked out. There was no way I could have been ready for this kind of pain."The doctors are coming bro don't worry.." he said trying to comfort me. It was nice to see that
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
