feeling very excited. He
had enjoyed every bit of last night.
The dinner out was
awesome but the conclusive part of the day
had been simply mind-
blowing. Belina had been
so tired and sleepy this
morning, understandably so, that he had made
breakfast for her in bed.
They had prayed together
and he had prepared for
work.
Richard was expecting Doctor Felix, in order to
receive reports of how the hospital was after his
departure.
He was considering the prospect of making him his assistant now that
Oyinade was gone.
He responded to the
knock he received and
Doctor Felix waltzed in, in
his usual manner. Richard gestured a seat
and
listened as the doctor
gave a detailed account of the welfare of the hospital. "… the patient in ward 9
by name Mr Kelvin is now out of coma" he said after some minutes.
Richard's interest was
pricked. "Wow… when did that happen?" he asked, sitting up.
"About 5:23 yesterday sir" he responded, and then took his eyes away
from the book, looking at Richard.
"Sir, do you know the man personally?" he asked, although he already
knew the answer to that;
Richard's behaviour when
the patient was to be
treated showed it. He did
not expect their
relationship to be a pleasant one, though.
"Yeah. Yeah, I do" Richard
said, letting out no
emotion.
"Obviously… The patient
was restless when he found out that he was being admitted in BRH and more
so when he was told that
you attended to him"
Doctor Felix said. "He
became so violent that we had to sedate him. He
tried to escape around 3am this morning but we caught up with him and
since then had someone to monitor his room"
Richardbecame worried
and his face portrayed this but he knew that only one thing can make
someone that restless – guilt.
He stood up. "I am going to see him now, you may
go".

I arrived Prisca's boutique and was greeted by all the smiling
workers. They all looked beautiful as usual,
in beautiful clothes and nice braids.
I looked around, admiring all the beautiful
clothes surrounding me.
"Sweetheart" I was
jerked from my window-
shopping when I heard Prisca's voice.
"You make me feel as
though you wanna buy
everything here". She
said, coming over with a smile.
She faced one of her
workers and gasped. "Did
she drop a mouth-
watering
cheque?"
Everyone laughed hard,
including me. I walked up to her and gave her a cool
hug.
Prisca and I proceeded
into
her office where I was
served a very cool drink. I looked round at the
beauty
of the office. The office
has
changed since the last
time I came which was about a
month ago.
"So, how is my nephew
doing?" she asked
immediately we sat.
I scoffed. "What makes you
think I am bearing a boy?"
"My instincts tell me
Richard
is much more stronger
than you are" she replied with
a
grin.
"you would be surprised" I
replied cheekily.
"have you gone for scan?" I shook my head, sipping
my drink. "No. Richard is
too over-pampering,he
won't allow me lift a
finger.
If he knew I stepped out of the house, he would
explode" I sighed visibly.
Prisca laughed.
"can you blame him? It is his first child we are talking about
here"
I scoffed. "was it this
terrible when you had
Pat?"
I asked synically. "it can't be this way forever
dear. Tony was also this
over-protectiveat first"
I smiled.
"I can't say I don't enjoy the pampering at times."
She laughed. "corrupt soul.
Anyways, I think he is just
trying to make up for the
serious incidents of last week. That oyinade girl is
a witch"
I hissed. "don't mind that
harlot. I have not had her
time" Prisca shook her head.
"thank God Richard fired
her before she did any
more damage"
I opened my mouth. He
hadn't told me that. Prisca took one look at my
stupefied face and
deduced what I was thinking.
"he did not tell you?"
I shook my head. "not a single word".
"I shouldn't have then"
Prisca said, obviously
saddened that I had to
hear it from her. I pestered her but she refused to say any
other thing. I resigned.
Richard obviously has
some explaining to do.
