TemitopeDaniel: EPISODE TWENTY TWO.

    Hastrup smiled broadly after he heard the new news from the Doctor. The nurse almost caused him a heart attack. His circulatory system that had started malfunctioning had cooled down after he calmed himself. "Guy, this nurse almost killed me." He faced Uthman and shook his hand.

    Uthman buttoned up the first two button on his shirt, he beamed and shook Hastrup also. "Abi now, I was almost killed too."

    "I was so vexed that i couldn't hold back myself until I slapped that nurse."

    "It was good for her, she needed it. The Doctor even said she has receieved a lot of queries, only God knows the kind of Nurse she is." Uthman replied.

    Aishat and Tomisin were also whispering to each other on their seats, nothing else would have made Aishat happier than she was, that time. She was so happy that she felt like celebrating it.

****++++****

    Two Days After.

    Hakeem had gotten agile again. He was just discharged that afternoon and went home with his friends. Since he had been admitted, Hastrup and Uthman rarely left the hospital. Aishat also left the hospital once, to chage her dress and returned immediately. She couldn't afford to loose Hakeem, even if he had broken up with her, she still loved him.

   If not for all that happened, she would have started working in Hakeem's company. She was eager to start, she started planning schedule that afternoon that Hakeem was discharged.

    Hastrup was just smiling as he shut the door that led to the living room. "Hakeem, why did you even enter into that house?"

    Hakeem took in a deep breath and replied him. "I was caught by those guys, it was the exact place where the tracker stopped I came down."

    "You shouldn't have done that, you should have stayed near the field."

    "They'd started beating Aishat, I heared her crying." He smiled.

    "That was why you endangered your own life right?" Uthman questioned.

    "Sure, I had to do it. Tell me, if you were the one, would you have left Shukurat there?"

    Uthman chuckled and replied. "Em.. No, that's true sha."

    Hakeem laughed. "That was why I tried so hard to save her. I never knew I would be caught."

    "Alright, we thank Allah for sparing your life.."

    "Alhamdullilah." Hakeem said.

******

    Aishat laid on the bed heavily, it was over five days since she slept on the bed. She remembered how she was kidnaoped from her seat in the living room. She never knew anyone was behind her until her mouth was forcefully covered and she was carried away.

It was already a past tense but it was an incident that could never be forgotten. She never knew Tomisin walked in until Tomi hit her by her shoulder. "Aishat." She called her.

"Yes." She became self- conscious. "When did you enter into the room?" She asked as she gazed at her.

"Have you been thinking about Hakeem?" She teased her and smiled.

"Hakeem? I wasn't thinking about him." She beamed.

"You better confess, you that cried your eyes out when the fake nurse brought the result of his death." She laughed.

"You cried likewise, didn't you?" Aishat laughed too.

Tomisin leaned against the wall for support and continued. "I didn't cry like you did, you cried like a baby." She mocked her and continued laughing.

"Really? That nurse bleeped up oh, she almost killed me!" She said, remembering how she sat, crying.

"Abi now, she turned us to new born babies, I also wept like Jesus did in John 11:35."

"We've seen you, mama Jesu." Aishat laughed at her.

"Thank you, I know you can't quote any verse in you Quran."

Aishat laughed and remembered Hakeem again. "Na tomorrow I go start with Hakeem oh, it will be a funny thing, working with him."

"Yes oh, I'm still working on mine with Tofunmi. I pray everything results to happiness."

"All will be well." Aishat prayed.

THE NEXT DAY.

AISHAT drove out of the house in one of her four cars. She felt fulfilled as she drove on, along Bashorun road. She felt as if she should have gotten to the office, she checked the dashboard and saw that it was just 7:15am. "Hakeem.." She muttered his name and smiled.

Not later than that, she parked at the parking lot of the company and walked down from the car in a yellow silk dress that had a black collar with black buttons down the front. She also had yellow earrings on, with a flawless skin and long hair.

She bowed and greeted the security men on duty before she walked into the company. She met the Secretary on seat and greeted her. "This is the key." Peju, the Secretary handed her the key to her office and stood up, to lead her to the office.

She showed her where the office was and turned back. Hakeem hadn't gotten to his place of work then, it was an opportunity not to see his face that morning, she must always try to avoid him so that she wouldn't develop any weird feeling again.

She held her breath before she entered into the office. "Wao, Hakeem is also rich oh." She said and admired the big office. It was painted cream colour and had some beautiful chairs in a corner as well as the office's table and chair. She smiled and continued admiring the office. It had an air conditioner, a cream curtain with a touch of orange and the office was rugged. "This is nice." She said as she opened the HP laptop on the table and sat down.

She looked round the office again and smiled. She loved it that way, she remembered she greeted the security men, if it was before, she wouldn't do that. She'd rather accuse and abuse the men for not greeting her. "I've changed." She smiled and nodded along.

The laptop's battery wasn't in it when she opened it. She stood and walked to meet the Secretary to ask about it when Hakeem came in with his friends. She felt like disappearing immediately she sighted him. "Good morning Sir." She greeted him and smiled faintly.

"Ha.. Good morning, Miss Aishat." Hakeem also replied, pretending.

She greeted Uthman and Hastrup too and watched them as they left. She smiled within herself, Hakeem had turned to Mr Adefemi while she had turned to Miss Aishat, "nice one, this is just the beginning." She grinned as she thought.
