Seeing them was like seeing a savior from hell. She stood up from the chair she've been sitting on. Helo grannies am Cocoa and he is Stanely. We are actually here to inquire about Allan who is your tenant. She stated.And who are you to him young lady? The oldman among the grannies asked with seriousness.Oh we are his friends from the village. We haven't seen him for a month. We came here because we were worried. His phone is off. Cocoa explained. At this time tears were already down here chin. She couldn't control them.Good enough. At least someone came all the way from the village to look for him. That poor soul. The grandma outtered with pity.Do you know where he is? What happened to him? Can l see him now? Cocoa hold the granny's hand asking desperately.Sit here. I will tell you. Oldman go inside and have a rest. The woman told to her husband. She sat on the other chair outside the house and her gaze landed carefully on Cocoa and then Stanely. She didn't find something suspicio
Cocoa didn't know Allan's ex wife. For a moment she was scared that may be the woman is her. But her worries soon vanished when the woman introduced her self to her. Am lmmaculate miss. One of the nurses that have been taking care of Mr. Allan ever since this unfortunate thing occurred to him. Are you one of the nurses too or his relatives? The nurse asked. Yes l am his girlfriend. Thank you so much nurse Immaculate for the good work you have done for us. I was out of town. I didn't know in time what he went through. Cocoa responded her eyes almost shedding tears.It's okay l do understand your worries. Mr. Allan had been in a very difficult situation before he went to a comma. No one one visited him. May be he felt un wanted that's why he doesn't respond to his medicine. It's like he has completely gave up on life according to the doctors. Nurse immaculate spoke with tears. She was there and saw every thing. The desperate, helpless and anticipation in Allan's eyes as he was looking
At six sharp in the morning the alarm rang in the ward. Cocoa had set it up last night before sleeping. She got a part time waitress job in a local market near the hospital. She had figured out that there is no way she would live without working. And taking good care of Allan needed man. Even though Allan is in a hospital owned by a government, she wasn't satisfied with their way of doing things. She needed to be with extra cash for emergency and their other daily necessities.Feeling lazy, Cocoa stretched her arms in the air. Still on her mattress she started to pray a little louder for another person in the room to hear;"Dear Lord. I thank you for another day you have bestowed on us. Am indeed grateful. I seek for your forgiveness for the sins that l have committed and those of Allan. Lord the father of all livings, the merciful one l beg you with all sincerity in me to have mercy on Allan. Heal him, let him wake up talking and smile again. Let him walk on his feet again. Our life
Allan woke up with sweat all over his forehead. Why that dream again? It was the first question that came in his mind just as his eyes snapped open. And to his astonishment the person he dreamt of was there. Besides his sick bed. Her beautiful face was smiling through tears at him. He frowned slightly and his heart aches for her.Its like she won't give up. He thought. There is the part in him that wanted to hug and kiss away her tears afterwards. But that part was strongly opposed by the other. The same very part that used to reject her over and over again in the past years no matter how many times she showed interest in him. The same part of his heart that was faithful to his wife. Think about his wife Leticia, Allan wondered how and where she is. Probably enjoying her life to the fullest. With someone rich and better than him. He laughed bitterly in his mind. Allan there you are. All energetic and handsome as usual. Ahh am so happy you made it. Allan you are awake really. This ca
Look at you Allan. You are in this condition because of that bitch of a woman. I told you many times that there is nothing good about her. She is a jinx. But you couldn't listen. What now? Where is she or Where was she when you needed her the most? Waaaah my son why didn't you listen to me then? All of these could have been avoided. You would have been in a better position in a better life. I wasted alot of money on you and your education. Allan it was my hard earned money. You knew very well the difficulties l had to go through but what did we gain? Nothing. Absolutely nothing Allan. Margaret furiously scolded her son in tears. Ahh l think Stanley and l will be outside. Will come back later for his bath. Cocoa excused herself and Stanley. This was a conversation she didn't want to poke her nose in. The more she listens the angrier she gets. Margaret nodded at her with a knowing and appreciative smile. Cocoa glanced at Allan for a while before leaving the ward with Stanley. Once
Can love be forced? Definitely not. Love is always free. It's the feeling that no one see it coming your way. You can't force someone to love you. The progression of a romantic relationship cannot be forced. It must evolve naturally over time. Impatient, insecure, or damaged people try to force a relationship to develop quickly.This love doesn't last for too long at most it's more of an attraction other than love itself. Because true love cannot be shaped nor controlled. With Allan and Cocoa, Margaret just wishes and pray hard that something grows between them.Something beautiful that may last forever and based on trust. That way she can may be save the family lineage. Stanley was in a mess now.From the ward he went straight to the bathroom. Alot has been said by him. He wanted to tell Allan along time ago even before the accident that Cocoa was a good girl. That needs to be cherished. However he didn't get a chance. Perhaps he was unwilling to pair them up or perhaps he respected th
Yes you go a head and tell us. Margaret said with curiousity written on her face. Stanley also straightened himself in a seat. Allan on the other hand raised his brow. Probably wondering what she had to say. Allan's is out of the comma and most danger now. You know other modern way of treating his broken leg and arm to my opinion and that of many people have so far consulted is slow. The only option for quick results is for him to under go into a surgery but we don't have that much money. So l suggest that we turn to traditional methods. The healing process is faster and way too cheap. What do you suggest? Cocoa laid out her suggestions.Her eyes dating from one person to the other. I support that. It was Stanley who spoke first. Margaret looked to be thinking things over and after a short while she said:I second it too. There was silence in the ward.They were obviously waiting for the patient to speak his mind. Few moments later he didn't.What is your say Allan? Cocoa asked softly
Allan took a deep breath to calm him self down. Then he refocused his attention away from Cocoa. From the looks of it there is nothing preventing him from having another relationship. Absolutely nothing. Leticia was already gone. It's been two years since she left. She never even spared a day or time to come and see him. Perhaps he was too broken and fears to under go into the same heart piercing situation. Or may be he Perhaps doesn't want Cocoa to suffer because of him.After all he have nothing He should chase her away. There is future a head of her. Yes it's waiting.But then Stanley's words and that of his mother resounded again in his ears. "she is the one who truly loves you. Don't loss her." And at that very moment the thought of being left alone overwhelmed him. He recalled those lonely days in the hospital before comma. They were the terrible days that he have ever lived on earth. He wouldn't like to go back to that. Allan sighed and with so much difficult uttered"l don'
