CONTINUATION




Dr Biola sat in her office seething furiously. How can chief nominate that little girl of yesterday Head of Pediatrics in this hospital when I am there? That cannot happen. I must fight it. I have been in this hospital for more than ten years and I deserve a reward. She thought. Dr Biola even though a pediatrician has never liked children. She was only in it because it was a thriving career then and it paid very well. Immediately she finished her housemanship, she had applied for internship at St Anne's Hospital and has been there since. She isn't married even though she had been in relationship but none led her to the altar. Recently, it has been on the hospital's grapevine that she was currently in an abusive relationship with a man who was separated from his wife when she had been seen in the hospital with either bruised cheeks or a black eye which she usually wore glasses to cover up. Still thinking of the perfect plan to render chief's attempt futile, she picked her bag from the table and left the hospital.

RAYMOND'S POV.


When I opened my eyes blinking a couple of times, the lights were really bright everything seemed so blurry at first. I felt a numbing pain all over my body. I lifted myself with difficulty and looked around, the room was not familiar to me. These walls are painted blue but mine was painted white and purple. I can remember driving home with Naeto after our night out around 7:45 pm before..... Oh God! The accident. Where is Naeto? Where is my son? I can't stay here without knowing the whereabouts of my son. Olivia will not forgive me if anything happens to him. I had promised her that by the grace of God that I will make sure he grows up to be a successful young man even better than me his father. I could remember Naeto and I were singing to the lyrics of Tuface's 'true love' when suddenly an upcoming trailer from the opposite side of the road rammed into ours and before I could slam the brakes, the deed had been done. My head had hit the steering and I lost consciousness. I have to get an answer. As I stood up to go in search of Naeto, the door to my room opened and a tall,slim and beautiful nurse walked in carrying a tray. When she realized what I was trying to do, she dropped the tray she was holding and quickly rushed to my side. 'Don't move sir, you will only hurt yourself more'

'But I have to know where my son is. I have to find him. I need to be sure he is safe. Please nurse, do you have any idea of his whereabouts?' I asked her as she helped me adjust the bed setting to enable me sit properly.

' He is in the children's ward currently being looked after. Why don't you relax, take your medication and maybe in an hour's time if your energy is up to it then I will take you there. You must love your son so much to be this anxious to see him.'

'Oh yes, I do love him so much, he is all I have got in this world. I can't bear losing him. Thank you nurse.' I said taking the medicine she handed to me and gushed it down with water.


One hour later, we were on our way to the pediatrics wing of the hospital. I opened the door to my son's hospital room and behold there on the bed was Naeto lying down with all sorts of wires on his body and a lady holding Naeto's hand and whispering some words I couldn't fathom who on hearing the door open turned and infront of me was a beautiful lady with the most gorgeous pair of brown eyes I had ever seen.a

KAINENE'S POV.


When I heard the sound of the door open and close I turned and in front of me was the same handsome man who was involved in an accident last night on a wheelchair looking at me. Last night I couldn't see his face properly but right now it was as clear as crystal. He looked like he had just stepped out of the cover of a GQ magazine. We stood there staring at each other for some minutes before I said,' Good morning Mr Nwachukwu, I am Dr Kainene and I am the pediatrician in charge of your son.' he nodded and I continued 'I and my team have been able to stabilize him so he is out of danger. But we have to keep him for a week or more depending on how quick he recovers.'

' Thank you doctor, can I stay with him for a while?'

'Yes you can. He will need a familiar face when he wakes up. If your strength is up to it then fine.' I replied while adjusting the pillows on the bed.'Nurse make sure you contact me if there is any change in his condition.' As I turned to leave, the door was already opened from outside even before I could touch the door handle, an elderly woman probably in her early sixties in iro and buba came in shouting, 'Where is my son and grandson? They want to kill them for me, Olorun o ni je a raburu! Is my boy alright? She asked hugging Raymond then going close to the bed to see Naeto.

Yes he is, the doctor said he is out of danger but he needs time to recover.'

'Oh my boy. Omo omo mi yo yee. Enitan will live.' She had named him Enitan when she first came to the hospital room after Naeto was born.. 'How are you Raymond?'


'I am fine mama. I will be discharged tomorrow. When did you come?'

'Just now o, I heard it from Abdul the driver who came to pick me from the airport so I told him to drive me to the hospital.' she said while unwrapping and wrapping back her buba.

'Lauretta is at the house. Why don't you go home and freshen up, by the time you come back, Naeto will be awake by then.'

'Okay my son, if you say so but don't hesitate to call me if Enitan wakes up.' Then she turned to me and said,'Thank you doctor.'

'You are welcome ma. I am just doing my job. I will be going now.' I said.

'Thank you doctor Nene.' Raymond said. I just smiled and left the room.

CHAPTER FOUR


Three weeks later as I drove into the hospital to resume work, I saw Naeto approach me in the parking lot. I smiled and spread my arms for him. He came running into my arms.'Hey Naeto, how are you today? I asked him gently ruffling his hair and pulling his chubby cheeks. He chuckled and said ' I am very fine thank you doctor.' He handed me a bouquet of flowers. The wonderful scent of the flowers wafted to my nose, 'Oh this is so lovely, thank you honey.' I said hugging him tightly then tickling him. He was chuckling and wriggling under my arms. Naeto had been discharged a week ago with a clean bill of health. I usually came to work early so I would be able to spend at least one hour talking to him. We had become good friends during those visits. I don't know what made me do that but I felt I had a deep connection with him. I may not be a psychologist but I was aware that he was lacking something emotionally. I later found out that it was the lack of a mother in his life. Pulling me to bend towards him, he whispered to me, 'my daddy is over there' he pointed to his father. I turned and saw Raymond at the door of a sleek Nissan Pajero. He waved at me and I waved back and mouthed 'thank you'. He smiled and came to meet us. 'How are you Nene?' He had shortened my name to 'Nene', in his own words, 'Kainenechukwu is too long but Nene was sweeter on the lips. After a short argument that the full name makes it meaningful, he still didn't concede and I had left it at that.
'I am fine, thank you.' I replied.

'Hey buddy, why don't you go to the car and wait for me while I discuss with the beautiful lady.' Raymond said to his son. I hugged Naeto again before he pulled away to make his way to his father's car. We watched him go until he entered the car then Ray turned to me and said,

'My boy really likes you. He couldn't stop talking about you since we came back from the hospital. He actually threw tantrums that he wanted to see you and I had to bribe him with chocolates and promise him we would see you today and here we are.'

'I really like him too. I missed him and his funny stories. But thank God he is well now.'


'Why don't we go out later tonight for a thank you dinner? '



'Are you asking me out on a date?' I asked. He grinned and replied, 'well think of it as one.'

'That will be lovely, thank you.'

'I will come and pick you up by 7:00 p.m.. What's your address?'


'Its 179 Jibola street, Wuse Zone 2 behind Ministry of Tourism.' I replied.

'I think I know the place. Thank you for accepting my invitation.'

'It's my pleasure. I have to head in now.'


'Yes, let me not keep you waiting. See you later tonight.' I smiled, picked my bag from the passenger seat then closed the door. I saw Naeto waving at me from the back of his father's car. I waved back and blew him a kiss. I watched them drive away from the parking lot then I turned and made my way into the hospital.
