LETTER TO MY WIFE By Siloko, Oyintari Ben [episode 5]

 

When I heard a knock on my door, Nene was still wailing in agony. I wondered when I heard the bang for the second time, "Who could it be?"

"Who is that?" I questioned.

He answered in the affirmative.

I asked, "Who are you?"

The banger said, "The guy from Nene's house. Nene's groaning was still audible.

Yes, please tell me how I can help. Since of the resentment I harboured toward him because he had what I needed, I came off as somewhat nasty.

Nene injured herself. I sprinted to the door and unlocked it as soon as I heard him say those words. Leading the way into Nene's apartment was Mr Zee World.

As she was bleeding from her left hand, I exclaimed, "Nene, Oh No." Zee World did nothing but stands and stares as I carried Nene on my back, disregarding the blood that was oozing out all over. Fortunately, as I took Nene downstairs, I had my car key.

When I got to the car, I unlocked it and put Nene in the backseat, telling her everything would be okay as I gently closed the back door and proceeded to the driver's door.

Zee world opened the passenger door as I opened the driver's door. I had no idea who invited him or what he was doing, but I knew his goal was to accompany us to the hospital. I was silent the entire time due to Nene's situation. Since all I had on my mind was getting Nene to the hospital, he was the least of my concerns.

Bello swung the gate wide for me as I hurried to get out of St Abz mini estate. The people in Romeo Spot stared at me as I passed by quickly. Some people may have said foul things, but so what? In my opinion, I don't care.

I turned left at the Prime Traffic Light Junction and continued along Ikedum's Drive into AMY Specialist Hospital.

Arriving at AMY's Specialist Hospital, a highly regarded hospital in Heartland City that is well-organized and top-notch. They assumed it was an A&E emergency because of the manner I sped in quickly, so when I parked and opened the car, a stretcher was already at the back door.

Zee was still standing and just staring, doing nothing. But I asked myself, "Why should I keep worrying about this guy?" His reasoning may have been influenced by the movies he has been seeing since arriving at Nene's house, or it might be because Nene has been feeding him nonstop.

As I held Nene and carried her into a separate ward, the nurses helped me. They started using their clinical tools to treat the injury. I was unable to identify the name of the apparatus because all I was familiar with was cotton wool. After they were done, they bandaged her hand and informed us that because Nene was so weak, she would need to be in bed for about six hours.

I sat by Nene's head side as she lay on the bed. The next thing I saw was that Zee world was preparing to sit at Nene's feet at the other end of the bed.

What sort of wahala is this? This dude sef, who is he? Abi him no see this chair I was referring to a blue single seater sofa in the ward] to sit down? I murmured in silence.

My phone rang right then. Happiness had called. What does this chick want again? Which kind of yeye call be this one for this kind of time? After the first ring, I put my phone on mute and slipped it into my pocket because everything I needed to focus on was right in front of me.

The nurses informed Nene that she would be receiving injections ten minutes later and inquired if she had eaten. Nene responded with a "no," and I later learned that she had been cooking at the time of the incident. I'm not going to ask the Zee world what occurred; instead, I'll wait for Nene to be in a good enough condition to tell me.

As the nurse left, I asked Nene in a hushed voice, "What would you want to eat, Nene?"

Jollof rice was her reply.

I'll go ahead and get it for you now. I said.

Zee world trailed me as I made my way to the door. I had to speak now because I was unable to contain myself.
