JIDE
The whole of my body ached and I could hardly open my eyes to see things around me. I felt the whole of my head rapped with white material. It took me sometimes before realizing I was back inside OAU community, how I ended up there I had no idea. But one thing was certain, Juliet was gone, I was not ready to deal with such a reality yet, I remembered she hit me hard with fire extinguisher but I could not really defend myself. That was all I could remember. I was busy staring at the ward’s ceiling when a group of health personnel walked to my bed alongside a beautiful lady who will either be in her late twenties or early thirties. Her smile became brighter when she saw me alive, the reason for her joy I had no idea but I just kept my observations to myself as the doctors rallied round me to examine me and do their thing.
They were done and I could hear one of them, the eldest say “He is very much better now than last week, and he should be discharged anytime soon” that statement got me surprised, like I have been on the bed for the last one week? I just pretended not to have overheard them when the lady came around.
“How are you doing now?” She said, staring me directly in the eyes.
“Think I am getting better, but please how did I get here and what about my car?” I asked curiously as she settled to sit down beside me.
“Can we talk about that when you are fully discharged tomorrow? Because right now, all you need is rest and my husband will soon be here. I have just brought your dinner and to ensure you use your medications.” She said and just then a cute handsome man showed up and her smile became brighter which made me conclude that that must be the lucky man that must have been eating the work of the pretty damsel. I watched them exchange pleasantries and I so much desired marriage right there but with who? None of the ladies on the street and even inside church these days really worth marrying as a lot of them have already misused themselves but I was hoping a future with Juliet already and just then the thoughts of Juliet came back to my mind.
“Your car is ready when you are ready to pick it up, just get well soon and feel free to communicate with my wife, should you need anything, I need to go now” the man said and walk away with his wife who giggled endlessly. I watched them till they disappeared and right there, the thoughts of Juliet came back at the sight of the woman’s endowment. I must get her back by all means. I decided and determined desperately anticipating my discharge.
