BreeChoco: Lovely writeup... Do keep it up!. Try and read it again. What I meant was that her usual time for waking up is 6:00a.m. But she woke up7:30a.m. Thank you for noticing the mistake about the hospital. I have corrected that. |

Well, for u to be a padiatrician or paediatric surgeon as d case may be u have to undergo different residency training. One is under d college of surgeon n the other college of physician. In nigeria, very few hospital (private) are accredited to train residents and dey r nt in isolation. Plus do u mean st claire is d largest children hospital or largest hospital in northern nigeria? trixandra: thank you. I made some research, maybe I didnt research enough. the residency exam she took is probably the last one meaning she is a senior resident. lets say she both acts as a pediatrician and pediatric surgeon. the setting is a private hospital and dr olubanjo is the owner and c.e.o. he has the right to choose whoever he wants because to him hardwork matters but he cannot choose without the board thats why he only nominated. its possible she may not even become the head, thank you once again for your criticism. i will try and correct that part. 1 Like |

RAYMOND’S POV The past two months had been quite fun for me. I had never felt so alive since Olivia died. After that dinner I had with Nene, I wanted to see her more and more. Sometimes when she is leaving the hospital after work, I will corner her and convince her to go out with me to one of the restaurants located close to her house or her church to sit and talk. We had talked about different things. I had gotten to know her better through our talks. Talking to her had achieved a lot of things I couldn’t achieve even with all the visits to the psychologist after Olivia’s death. She was so good with Naeto maybe because she was a paediatrician but to me she was a natural. Nene made me to see a different aspect of life. The bright and funny side of life as she calls it. When she had told me about losing her father at an early age to lymphoma and her mother shortly afterwards and her brother who was a teenager then left the country in search of a better life and she hadn’t heard from him since then. I had felt for her at that moment but I was amazed at how she had grown to be a very successful young woman. I had asked her her secret and her response was ‘It’s God’s doing Ray. You know that trying moment when it seems that all hope is lost, when you have nowhere to run to, when the tunnel is dark, I experienced that Ray but the moment I handed all my worries to God, he took care of my troubles ,I didn’t have to worry anymore. He already knows what you are about to ask him even before you do. Some people may think that you are putting all your eggs in one basket but there is nothing wrong in doing that because you trust the basket not to break the eggs. That’s my secret Ray, trusting God and he has never disappointed me.’ I was not really a church going person. The last time I remember going to church was at Olivia’s burial but I made sure Naeto goes to church on Sundays with Lauretta. Nene had taught me how to say some thanksgiving prayers to God because that is the first step to being close to God. Sometimes, we ended our outings by attending the late evening mass at her church. Last Sunday, I had found myself in Church. When we do not see during the day, we spend hours talking on the phone till we sleep off. Naeto and I were driving back from our usual Friday’s night out when he called me from the back seat where he was, ‘my daddy.’ ‘Yes buddy.’ I answered focusing on the road ‘Can we go on a picnic with doctor Nene tomorrow?’ he asked chirpily. ‘And why is that/ I thought you saw her when she took you out for a milk shake yesterday?’ ‘Because…….because….’ Naeto stuttered. ‘I am listening’ ‘Because I want her to be my new mommy.’ I felt a sharp pang on my chest. I had thought I was the only person thinking along that line, I didn’t even know that my little boy was also thinking the same.it is no surprise that she had gradually warmed her way into our hearts and has decided to say. ‘Let me be the one to decide that buddy but you will still be considered okay. About the picnic, ehhm lt me see.’ I pretended to think about it. I had already made up my mind to see her. We haven’t ally had time to talk or see each other this week due to my business. I had been trying to finalize the take-over of an almost liquidating newspaper and fortunately it came through yesterday. I really missed her smiles and laughter. ‘Don’t you have homework to do?.’ I asked ‘My daddy, our teacher didn’t give us any homework.’ he replied pouting. I could see him from the front mirror. ‘Okay, you are lucky son but it depends on..’ ‘Depends on what my daddy?’ ‘if she is going to agree.’ ‘She will dad.’ He said sounding so sure of himself. ‘And how are you so sure of that?’ ‘Because I like her, she likes me, she likes you and you like her my daddy.’ ‘Hmmm, we will call her when we get home okay.’ ‘Yes, yes, I love you my daddy!’ he screamed excitedly from the back. When we got home after showering and having dinner, Naeto came up to me and asked ,’dad, can we call her now?’ I picked my phone from the side stool and dialled Nene’s number. It rang about two times before she finally picked. She sounded so tired. We spoke for about three minutes. ‘Naeto wants t talk to you.’ I said and handed the pone to Naeto. We had decided to go to Gurara waterfall. They chatted for about 20 minutes before Naeto yawned tiredly telling me he is already feeling sleepy. He handed the phone back to me and laid on the couch. ‘ I hope he didn’t wear you out because he has already fallen asleep on the couch.’ ‘Haha, No he didn’t, you know I actually forgot I was so tired till he yawned. Thank you for the invitation. I was just thinking of a very good way to spend tomorrow after all the stressful time at the hospital.’ ‘I wasn’t the inviter. It’s Naeto who brought the idea. ‘Oh that’s so nice of him. Please don’t forget to give him two beautiful kisses for me.’ ‘ I will dear’ I said. We talked for some 10minutes before we said our goodnights and hung up. I picked Naeto from the couch and carried him up to his room. I tucked him and gave him the two kisses Nene requested I watched him sleep for some minutes remembering how he was talking so animatedly to Nene and when he declared his love for her. I smiled. I can’t wait for our little family to be complete and with that smile still on my lips, I walked to my room, said some thanksgiving prayers to God and slept off. 3 Likes |
