Previously…Femi.“Very very weak” she said quietly. I successfully pulled her up and gave her some food. The food I had bought for her. It was cold now but she ate it. She didn’t like hot food anyways.“So what’s happened?” Ama asked as she was eating,“Sis, a lot. They found you collapsed just as Didi and I were coming in to see you.” Matthew narrated.“It was horrible, I was panicking. I’m really glad you’re okay babes” Radike added.I smiled at Ama but my smile slowly diminished when I saw exactly how she looked now. She looked very pale. Like she was losing blood. Her lips were chapped and her once luminous skin was still very flawless but dry. It hurt my heart to see her that way.“Femi, what’s the matter. You’re silent.” Ama said.I looked at her and smile “Nothing’s wrong babe. I’m just happy you’re awake.” I said. She smiled and continued eating her food. We stayed in the room for a while. Radike and Matthew kept chatting to Ama while I sat there very silent and thinking.To
Previously…Femi."Well, I didn't do anything wrong coming to check on you did I? Meanwhile when's the transplant?" He asked.I looked at Kola's face very well. He wore an expression I knew very well. One of mischief "Tomorrow Kola, why are you asking?" I answered before Ama could breathe a word. Kola wanted to start something. I just knew it in my bones. The earlier I shut him down the better. He could reveal my secret."Tomorrow... hmm" Kola said, completely ignoring my question."Yes Kola." I said and gave him a warning. His smirk became wider."So Ama are you ready for it?" He asked her."Of course she is why wouldn't she be?" "Let her speak for herself man." Kola said. I looked and Ama and she gave me a look to chill out. I just knew Kola was about to do something."Yes I'm ready to get this over with." She said and sipped water."Okay thats fair. What about you bro?" He said and I started shaking my head because I knew this secret was about to come out."What about me?" I asked
Previously..."Nothing will happen to me okay. Baby..." he said and took my hand in his while using his free hand to wipe my tears "I just want you to be fine.""No no no... there had to be some other way. Can they not search some more. It doesn't have to be you." I said. More tears dropping. It sucked that Femi had to be the one doing this. I didn't want anyone close to me risking their lives. There had to be some way around this."The doctor said that you don't have much time left. The surgery has to be held tomorrow or we risk you have more complications again. We can't have that."I sighed and ransacked my brain for something... anything that could solve this problem that we had. "What if...""Then it's my destiny. Maybe that's what I'm here for. To make sure that you live. Because that's actually my priority right now babe. I have blocked out every other thing to be fair. The only thing I want to do now is make sure you have my kidney. Plus that would mean we are stuck together."
Previously…FemiI knew Ama was silently hyperventilating. She had been making some very telling comments once in a while about me putting myself in line of fire. I wasn't upset. It just showed how selfless she really was. She wanted to be the only one that was having an issue which I got but I wasn't going to sit on the sidelines and watch he deteriorate. She genuinely understood how crucial it was now but it still was biting her. I could see and feel it.I was going to get some food for Ama and myself. There was going to be a lot of tests taken right before the transplant and also we would be losing blood. We needed a lot of energy for that. Luckily they could find transfusable blood for the both of us. Radike also offered hers. Our blood type was very rare, I wondered what this would mean for our children given the fact that Ama and I were both O negative.I got us some chicken, chips and burgers. I also got some pasta in case any of us were interested. It was nerve wracking going
Previously…Femi."Um, I bought the food already. I just got into a mild altercation with Kola." I told her."Haba, where did you see Kola?" She asked."I went to look for him in the office." I told her."Wait wait wait don't tell me it was because of his aproko yesterday that you went to fight the man..." she said.I chuckled "well..." I trailed off.She burst out laughing. "What the actual hell Femi. So you left me starving to go and fight. If misplaced priorities was a person" she said and started laughing again."I know I just wanted to get things off my chest because he had very strict instructions not to tell you" I said while smiling at Ama's roasting."Well I mean I get it but all the same... anyways cheer up. I know he got under your skin again." She asked."Yeah. Even the devil doesn't work as hard as Kola in that regard." I said and yawned. "Hey, okay look just come back here and we'll eat and you'll be fine alright?" She said with a cheeky smile."Okay babe. I love you" I
Previously…Ama.I didn’t know what to expect because I never told him that I needed anything. Femi was also known for blowing a lot of money on expensive things. I still had some of the bags he bought from Polo Avenue, never used. Just there in my closet.I started opening but stopped and smiled “Femi what’s in here?” I asked and he laughed “Babe just open it.”“Okay..” I said and took the box out of the bag. All the while I was silently hoping that this man hadn’t gone to blow excess money on something I didn’t need. He was fond of that but I didn’t tell him because I didn’t want to sound annoying or mean or ungrateful because I wasn’t. I really loved all his gifts.There were two boxes in the bag. A big rectangular one and a small rectangular one as well. I brought the small one out and my jaw dropped. My heart raced even faster as I saw what was on the box.The Apple iPhone 13 pro. What?!!!“Oh baby…” I covered my mouth when I saw it.“You like??” He asked.I blushed and my eyes s
Previously…AmaHe kissed my forehead, my nose and then my lips. The kiss felt like it should never end. The last kiss we would share before we wouldn’t see each other for a while.We pulled away and put our foreheads together. His palm cupped my neck and I held onto that arm for dear life.“This is devastating” I said.“It’s only for a while baby. I’ll be back. You know i will. And we will see each other again.” He said.Suddenly there was a knock on the door making us break contact. “Mr Femi, they are asking for you.” He looked at me with a sadness in his brown eyes. “This is not goodbye.” He said. His voice broke. He sounded like he was about to cry.“I know” my voice broke as a tear fell from my eye.He kissed me again and we broke contacts. Our hands separated from each other. It felt like a movie.He left the room with one last look at me. Immediately he left the room. I put the nice gifts away and brought a pillow to my face. I screamed all the devastation and anger I was feel
Previously…Kola.Tunde was here. Apparently we both came late for the surgery because none of us had the bright idea to ask Femi what time it was scheduled for."When do you think he will wake up?" Tunde asked me.I shook my head looking at Femi. "Doctor said any moment now. The sedative they gave him was very strong as they said so let's see""Ama is also still knocked out bad. They said she would probably take longer to wake up since she's the one they had to change out kidneys for." Tunde said.Honestly I could care less about Ama in this case. "You know yeah, I have never asked you what you think about the situation with Femi and Ama. You know, Femi giving her his kidney. Wasn't it weird to you?" I asked him.I still wasn't a fan of this whole thing. The only thing I wanted now was for my brother to wake up and start his recovery process. No woman would ever make me do this, except it was my mom."Well, it wasn't." Tunde said."What?" I exclaimed in shock. I thought he felt the s
