Previously…Femi."Yeah, yeah she is" I said. I was quite exhausted so I was very sure that I wasn't showing any emotion."Okay. Okay I'll wait then. Meanwhile Radike already went to check her kidney out. I came with her." He said. "Oh okay that's good. Let's just hope for the best then." I said.I stood up and turned to Ama. "I'm going to go and try to get some food for us. Ama must be starving. Those tubal foods are disgusting. I just didn't want to leave Ama alone but since you're here I'll rush to the restaurant and buy her some food" I said. Matthew nodded and sat down."You want anything?" I asked on my way out."No I'm alright. I ate before coming. Radike made sure of that." He said. I walked towards the door before Matthew stopped me "Femi""Yes?" I said and turned back to face him."Thank you for really looking after my sister. You're a real one." He said.I smiled "well, I'm glad you see that now."He smiled back at me and without a word, I left the room.I was about leavi
Previously...Ama.I got into my room being pushed by a nurse while sitting in a wheelchair and saw my brother and Tola my friend from the other office holding flowers."Hey Tee." I said grinning. I missed Tola so much. He probably was the one who replaced me in the office as my brother replaced him because there was no other person to fill his spot. It was so good to see him."Hey babe. Look at you. You're still pretty." He said sarcastically and we shared a hug. The nurse helped me into the bed and left the room."So these are for you from our boss. Mr Shawn has been really worried since he heard and sent me to pick these up for you." Tola said.I took the flowers from him and smelt them. They smelt extraordinarily wonderful. "These smell so good. Thank you. Besides who even told you guys that I was here?" "Tunde told Shawn and Shawn told me. They said it was kidney failure?" He said. Worry now washing over his face."Yeah. They don't know if a donor can be found. My brother isn't
Previously...Ama."Matthew..." I said in a warning tone.He sighed "I think you should ask Femi."I frowned. I was getting pissed. I had suspected that they were hiding something but now I was darn sure. "What do you mean by that and where is Femi Anyways?" "He went to get you some food." My brother answered."Okay so, start talking" I ordered him. Something was not right."About what? I don't know anything. The Doctor tells Femi everything." Matthew said, still not meeting my eyes."We both know that's a blatant lie. Matthew do you think this is a fucking joke?" I snapped in annoyance "My life is literally hanging on by a thread. I have two bad kidneys and to crown it all the people who I love most are hiding things about my own health from me." I said and he gave me a side glare. "Yes I know that you guys re hiding something okay. The explanation was too vague to go unnoticed. Now tell me what it is!" Matthew sighed and stayed silent for a few seconds before finally speaking agai
Previously…Femi.I walked to her room and all of a sudden I saw Matthew storming out."Hey Matt what's wrong?" I asked him but he ignored my question and strode past me.Looked in the direction he went and then looked ahead to Ama's ward. "I wonder what that was about.Did he get into an argument with Ama or Radike? I decided to go and find out.I opened the door and walked in to see Ama laughing with Radike. It was good to see that she was in high spirits."Hey baby" I smiled and walked deeper. I went and planted a soft kiss on high lips."How are you? And hey Radike." I said and Radike smiled."I'm fine. That's a huge trolley you have there" Ama said."Well I got you some food and some things you might need while you're here." I said and started removing things from the cart."Okay... good timing. I'm very hungry. Did you get water?" She asked."Yes I did, you want some?" I asked.She sighed "Yeah"I brought out a bottle of water from the carton and gave it to her. "Williams do you
Previously...Femi."Baby, you need to eat." I said trying to make her see reasons why she should eat. This was how it had been for a few days. She wouldn't touch any food. Even if she did, she would not eat up to half. She had already shed a lot of weight due to the illness and had started becoming pale. It scared the shit out of me. "I'm not hungry Femi leave me alone" she responded. She laid on her side facing the wall while I held a plate of Chinese rice and chicken. She loved it. But now she was being difficult."Ama come on you need to eat to have strength okay. Plus your meds...""I don't want the food and I don't want the meds. Leave me alone" she snapped."Arrrrhh Baby. Would you at least talk to me about what's eating you up?" I said in frustration.She didn't reply. I let out a sigh, there was a lot of tension. The last thing I wanted was to argue with her in her condition. I didn't want to hurt her or raise her blood pressure.I sighed again and stood up. "I'm gonna leav
Previously...Femi.Radike was being defensive for no reason. Who cared if it did it or not . The only people I felt that I had to convince were my parents and Kola. Tunde didn't need much convincing. Kola was a control freak and I knew he would try to stop me."I'm not talking about that because okay if that's the reason then by all means, knock yourself out. But it's Ama that I'm concerned about. She's been going on and on about how she doesn't want us to be the donors. She won't let you do it." Radike highlighted."Then we don't tell her. I'm not going in for the surgery with her anyways. She won't know till after the surgery when we are both awake. She can roast me then I don't fucking care," I said. I had thought about this subject prior to this. I knew she was anti close donors. She wanted someone who she didn't have sentimental attachments for. She didn't want us dying on her account. Did I care about that? No. We just needed to hide the news from her. She didn't have to know i
Previously…Femi.I saw Radike coming down the stairs when I got out. She walked faster to me when she saw that I was approaching."Hey, what's happening. Why do you look so sad?" She asked."Well first of all, I um, Yeah what about Ama. You're coming from there right?" I asked her. That was the first thing on my mind.Radike sighed "yeah, she's the same as she's always been. Um she still hasn't eaten." She told me.I smiled "well, maybe she'll eat when you tell her that we finally found a match.""Really?" Radike said expressing joy on her face."Yeah." I said with a grin."Oh thank God!!" She exclaimed.She stopped and looked at me in the eyes. My smile waned. "Wait a fucking minute. It's you isn't it. You just went to run the tests now." She said. She was always the observant one."Yeah it's me. Why are you acting surprised. You knew that i would do it if I was a match because let's face it. What other choice do we have?" I said.Her face became sad “I know. But Ama won’t like this
Previously…Femi.I decided to call Tunde first before I got there."Hey my bro" Tunde said enthusiastically."Hey Tunes. I'm actually driving over to your house. Got some time for me?""Anything for you my bro. You know my house is always open.""Okay but are you alone?" I asked. I didn't want to be direct and ask about Kola. So I went through the corners."I'm gonna act like you didn't just ask if Kola is here. No he isn't. I'm alone." He said and laughed."You idiot" I said laughing."Anyways be coming. Bring shawarma or I'll punch you in the face before you can lay your burdens." Tunde joked."What is this obsession with shawarma lately. You're slowly turning into Shawarma boy." I teased. He laughed and threw another snarky comments low key shading cheap Lagos girls that fall for a guy after eating a thousand Naira worth of shawarma."I'm a shawarma boy only to you and Kola. I don't go around sleeping with women who buy shawarma for me. I do the buying." Tunde said.I laughed out
