episode 4:
i was still lost in my thoughts when a nurse walked up
to my side
me: nurse please where is the man that came in with
me
nurse: (she shook her head) i have not seen anyone
here since i resumed my shift
me: (surprised as i looked at her) but i was just brought
in not a few minutes ago (i said but the nurse just
smiled)
nurse: not at all, i am a morning shift nurse and i
resumed to see you here, you were admitted in
yesterday afternoon.
me: what (i exclaimed shocked, did i sleep that much
that i thought that i was still in the same day) but i just
got here
nurse: no miss you were prescribed a very powerful
pain reliever and it made you to sleep for that long ( the
nurse said as he injucted a syringe into a drip beside me
and it was then that i noticed that a drip was connected
to me)
me: ok (i said uncertainly and the nurse smilled to me)
nurse: you need to eat something when it almost noon
(she said and i just nodded gently, trying to understand
all what she said, and she walked on to attend to other
patients, not long after she left my bed i turned and i
saw the bike man coming towards my bed, at that
moment my joy knew no bounds as i saw that he was
here and not abandoned me)
bike man: i see that you have finally woken up, how is
your leg? (he asked with a smile)
me: fine (i replied as i looked at him to see if my
belongings were with him and i guessed that he noticed
that because he only smilled)
bike man: your bag and box are safe (he said to me and
i smiled slightly) did you think that i will let it be stolen?
(he asked but in my mind i was like i already thought
that he was a theif himself)
me: thank you but i want to see my things (i said)
bike man: its ok they are at my house, you will be
discharged later in the evening. (he said to me and then
suddenly i thought of the hospital bills and i asked)
me: oh my god how much am i going to pay! (i
exclaimed and i could see the slight grin on his face)
bike man: you do not have to worry about the bills i
already settled them.
me: (what the f--k, i thought this man was a commercial
bike man, where the heck did he get money from) you
settled them( i asked and he nodded slightly and
suddenly i felt grateful to him) thank you but i will pay
you back.
bike man: just forget about that and lets focus on your
health (oh my god this man is too nice, too nice to be
true am i dreaming? i have never seen anyone to be nice
to me and mostly i did not think that i will ever find a
man that i can say is different from the rest) what do
you feel like eating? ( he asked waking me up from my
day dreaming)
me : uh!
bike man: yes you have been asleep for a long time and
you must be hungry ( he said again with a nice voice,
what kind of a person is this man that is caring for
someone that he barely knows) dont reply i will get
something for you to eat! ( he said as he got up)
me: but i dont even know you? ( i said as he came back
to me)
bike man: you will get to know me but first let me get
you something to eat ( he said as he walked on but i
stoped him with my question)
me: your name? ( i asked as i stared at him and he just
looked back witha smile)
bike man: david (he said as he walked out of the ward,
who the heck is this man calling himself david and why
does he care for me, i mean i already thought alot of bad
things to him but am not to blame as i just dont trust
anyone but this david is changing my believe, he
returned minutes later with a bowl of jollof rice and fish
with a cold drink and he assited me up and i ate the fod
hurriedly, oh yes i was really starving, god know what
they put inside the medicine as i ate so hungrily and i
finished the food before the doctor came to check on
me and david left the ward, the doctor then gave me
another injection after i complained of pains and slowly
after recieving the injection i fell asleep and woke up to
see him beside me)
david: the doctors have discharged you, we will soon be
going.
me: going to where (i suddenly found myself asking i
mean i did not have a destination before)
david: to my house of cause (he said) or i take you to
your house.
my pov
i just stared at him, i dont know him, he is a total
stranger to me but all the same he has shown to be a
very kind and reliable person but the problem is that i do
not trust him infact i do not trust anyone, should i leave
with him considering that i do not have a destination
david: we are ready to go (he said) can i (he offered to
help me up and i nodded before he helped me up and
assisted me out of the hospital, i was expecting to see
his bike but i was surprised when we walked towards a
white Mercedes Benz and he helped me in before he
also got in)
me: where is your bike? (i asked still surprized but he
just smiled as he started the car)
