KingzPen: Congratulations Bro for making the FP... Kudos Boss...

King!!! Thanks boss!

Holubunmi: Patiently waiting for d next update.well done T.dan

Thanks dear, really appreciate ur presence!

Hameenat94: 2 b honest here I've tried buh stopped wen I learnt of it buh story writing is abt morals nd teaching d readers abt wat they probably dnt knw.. So U shuld always knw abt sometyn b4 u write abt it.. Isn't it?

O know about it, don't I?

Aishat tepeated it like three times that Azeezat lacked the etiquette of Islam na...

Sallychizzl3: Boss, I still dey follow follow ooo...

erm... you wouldn't be the best you are always destined to be if you don't encounter critics and critiques along the way.

Here are just some heads up boss:
1 Use 'glance' for ur 'glimpse' , both belong under the same register in a thesaurus but the former sounds more professional and formal

2. Take your time in updating and editing ur write ups well before posting to bring out the best in them. It is better to deliver scanty quality that'll glue ur readers to their seats and make them yearn for more than boring long epistles.

3. I know you specialise in romance and there is nothing wrong with it, but ur stories is always easily predictable and the end can be seen right from the start, you need some twists and turns and you also need some heart wrenching deaths(not all love stories have happy endings)

4. Your story have an air of simplicity and amateurism arounds it , no offense or pun intended bro but you need to step up your game, read more and learn the new ways of writing that will make ur readers swoon with admirations .

I still dey follow you bumper to bumper bro.

Hmmn.. Alright, noted.

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.

Love u guys!!

This episode is dedicated to able uncle who died of severe asthmatic attack when no one was there to help. His own attack had gone to a stage that he'd have to inject himself before everything would be fine. He had the attack and rushed to inject himself but injected his vein and died almost instantly. THE PAIN ASTHMATIC PATIENTS PASS THROUGH ISN'T EASY, Love u! OLUKAYODE, RIP. And to all those who are suffering from severe attacks, you are remembered!



EPISODE TWENTY-ONE.

Hastrup had lost control, he sat on the floor like a baby whose mother left unfed. His eyes were wide open but he had lost it totally, he couldn't even interpret what was happening around him, he was painting Hakeem's picture in his mind.

Sure, the tears from them altogether was enough to wash a cloth, if not more. The nurse departed instantly she broke the news. Aishat hung her head in disappointment, no one would see her and notice she's beautiful, her facial appearance had gone real worse. She was breathing like an animal that had been chased by Cheetah, Hakeem has gone just like that? She had thought as tears kept trickling down her face.

Tomisin had sat too, her phone had dropped on the floor as well as her handbag. Who cared about them anyways? She was weeping as if Hakeem was her fiancee, she recollected how she attended to him when Aishat hit the glass cup on him, his smiles and kind gestures. She remembered his words when he was under the shed after the asthmatic attack, the look on his face and his good looks. He had really laid down his life to save Aishat, the difficulties while breathing, struggles and shouts for help, the maltreatments from the guys, all had sent the handsome young man to his early grave.

All Uthman was thinking as he stood akimbo and shivered along was how the news would get to his family members. He was sure his father was against his union with Aishat, and the help he rendered had caused him the early painful death. "Hakeem!" He kept weeping.

The reception that had been quiet due to the news resembled a public school classroom when a Doctor walked out from the same ward twelve to break the news of the death of a young guy to another set of people. It seems there's something going on with that ward twelve, Tofunmi thought as he looked sad too. He had been trying to force out tears from his eyes but all was up to no avail. Since he lost his first love, he had learnt and known that weeping wouldn't bring the dead to life.

Remembering his first love, she lingered in his heart. He started weeping too, he gazed at the women and ladies who were also crying over the guy who just died likewise, as people exit this world, replacements are made by the new born babies, he had thought as he reached for Tomi and petted her.

He wished to calm everyone of them down, but he had no strength to do so. A strong-hearted person would be the best of calm them down. As he touched Tomi, he glanced at Aishat and saw her weeping bitterly, he opened his mouth slightly, his nose was no longer capable of carrying out the exhalation, he needed more support.


Within a twinkle of an eye, Hastrup's eyes had gone red. Which friend can be like Hakeem again? The time he'd cook for him when he was sick, the time he'd lead the football team in school just to exercise himself, the time he'd have the attack and himself would be weeping, unhappy of the kind of life he had. At last, he has gone! He imagined and wept more.

The Doctor and the invited specialists walked out of ward twelve and were shocked as they met the scenario. "What's happening?" The Doctor asked.

No one was able to reply him, everyone was taciturn. "What..?" He drawled and looked shocked.

"Doctor.. Doctor.." Aishat couldn't speak more, she didn't know what to say, she just kept weeping.

Just then, the nurse that came to break the news approached the Doctor. "He has been covered, sir."

Immediately Hastrup heard this he lied on the floor and screamed. "Hakeem!"

"Who?" The Doctor asked, he stared at the nurse with surprise.

"The guy.. the guy that died of nephritis." She replied.

"What's my own business with him? I'm I Doctor Komolafe?" He questioned.

"I thought you were the one attending to him, he was laid near the guy who had attack." She replied.

"Were your eyes closed or what? Was I the one? Doctor Komolafe attended to him before he died, it was after his death you came in." He said angrily.

"Ha.. I never knew." She was surprised and started stammering.

"Just wait, you're still unserious, Nurse Piri or what's your name?" The Doctor hissed and faced Hakeem's troupe. "He's now responding to treatment." He told them.

"Respo what?" Hastrup rushed up, as well as others.

"Yes, I told you to be praying, I'm shocked to see you guys weeping. He's getting better after the specialists worked on him." He smiled.

"What! Wha.. who now died?" Aishat asked, her stare was enough to see through the Doctor.

"Died? As how?" The Doctor was glancing at them all, in surprise.


"She came to tell us.. Hakeem died." Hastrup pointed at the nurse.

The Doctor stared at the nurse angrily. "Is this true?" He was exasperated already.

"Yes, I thought they brought the guy with nephritis.. I mean kidney stones." She replied, wondering.


"Nurse Piri, are you insane? You received a query last week, you received another some days back and even yesterday, if he was even the one who died, what right do you have to break the news?" He was livid.

"I'm.. sorry.." she sobs.

"You mean Hakeem is not dead?" Tomi asked for confirmation.

"Yes." The Doctor replied.


Hastrup wiped his face and moved closer to the nurse. He gave her a resounding slap angrily.

"So you came to give a wrong news right?" Aishat snapped.

"I'm so sorry, it's the family who brought a guy with a kidney disease called Nephritis that are standing there, your Hakeem is getting better." He replied.

"So na these people get the deadi body..." Tofunmi shook his head.

Update loading, drops at due time...

Morning house, how was the night?

EPISODE TWENTY.

   The Doctor walked out slowly as he placed the stethoscope round his neck. He looked sad like Aishat was and came directly to Aishat. Em.. see me in my office. Aishat imagined as she placed her head on her palm.

"It won't happen, never!" She affirmed and looked around if she wasn't causing a scene. Definitely she did, eyes were on her because she exclaimed suddenly. "Is everything fine?" Tomi asked her as she tapped her slightly.

"Yes, it is." She replied instantly and stood up.

"Be gentle, take it easy." Tomi cautioned.

"I'm alright." She gave a sharp response and walked to and fro.

*******

Hassan and Azeezat sat close to each other in the balcony as they discussed, that evening. "Why did you go to Moyo to tell her about me?" Azeezat questioned.

Hassan smiled and pressed his lips together before he replied her. "Just for the betterment of this family."

"What betterment? Answer me?"

"I want you to make Alhaji happy, I want you to be happy likewise." Hassan replied.

"When did I get you informed about my unhappiness? Tell me!" She looked annoyed.

Hassan smiled again. Even if he was chided more than that, he'd make sure everything went well with his sister. "Anyways, have you gotten over the issue of Hakeem?"

"Wait, what's your own business? Does it look like I'm joking? I mean this, Hassan, stay away from my life! Why do you keep behaving as if you're even my father? Alhaji's troubles aren't even as much as yours, be careful! I don't kmow why holidays exist, of not shouldn't you be in you Unilag or what?" She hissed and walked away from the balcony.

Hassan just kept smiling.

******

"How many minutes will it take these Doctors to treat just a patient?" Aishat lamented.

"His condition.. I think it's worst. He didn't look like he was breathing when I sighted him." Tofunmi said to her

"That's true, maybe the attack again. Only God knows what those guys did to him." Tomi yawned, she was tired already.

"I was afraid when I saw him, the blood stains and the condition he was. He must have really had the attack, even in a serious way.." Aishat spoke sadly.

"What really happened that day? How did it happen?" Tofunmi asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to talk about that. Hakeem really needs to wake up." She stood again.

"Just be patient, it costs nothing." Tomi said.

"I know, thank you."

It was some minutes after that Hastrup and Uthman walked into the hospital. They walked to Tomi and Tofunmi quickly. "How is he?" Both chorused.

"We've not seen the Doctors at all, still praying here." She replied.

Just then, a nurse walked out quickly. "The Doctor said you should see him."

"Just a Doctor?" Hastrup asked the nurse.

"Yes, let me lead you.."

"Common, lead the way.." Aishat tapped the nurse. They all followed the nurse instantly. "How is he?" Aishat asked the nurse, she was walking right beside her.

"I don't know.. I think his condition is really critical." She replied her.

"Critical?" Aishat sniffed.

"Yes, this is the office." She pointed at the door and halted. They all rushed into the office, Aishat led the way, she didn't remember to knock, Hakeem was all she was after.

"Good day sir." She greeted the Doctor.

"Yes, welcome all." The Doctor replied and smiled.

"Yes sir, how is he?" Tomi asked.

"Em.. You all came with him right?" The Doctor enquired.

Aishat was getting impatient, she wanted to know what was happening, she hated stories and long pauses. "Yes." She quickly replied.

"The guy's attack is really a critical one. I just called on my friends that are experts at it, all you need now is prayer. He's in a very critical stage." He said.

"We've been praying, just do all you can, Hakeem must not die!" Uthman said, his pulse had increased rapidly, he looked afraid. He held on to Hastrup's hand and stared at the Doctor. His eyes were unblinking, and concentrated fully on the Doctor.

"Yes, we have. Please sir, do all you can, we've been praying, we are still praying, Hakeem must live sir... please." Aishat was breathing heavily, the sound of her heartbeat could be heard a mile away, she looked very shocked and more frightened.

"That's what I'm doing, you should have rushed him here immediately he had the attack. Let me break some things down for you." He paused for a while and continued. "Asthma right?"

"Yes." They said together.

"Now, we call it Bronchial Asthma here. The prognosis is just about taking care of one's self properly, there's no strong cure for it. An asthmatic patient should always have good and proper self- management. There are things they should take in, I mean their allergies! He's having an extreme difficulty breathing, rapid pulse, severe anxiety due to shortness of breath, sweating and many more. When I used the stethoscope to listen to his lungs, I noticed wheezing sounds. Let me stop here, just keep praying, his condition is bad." He said and rested his back.

"All is well in God's name." Tofunmi prayed.

********

They returned to the reception after the Doctor had spoken to them. Aishat had been praying, as well as others. She cleared her mind away from bad imaginations and day dreams, sometimes,thoughts turns out to become the reality.

The professionals that the Doctor invited got to the hospital after many minutes. The Doctor walked out and welcomed them into the hospital. He stood with the two women and spoke with them for minutes before they walked into Ward Twelve.

Aishat kept her eyes wide open, she was walking around, praying. She made sure her mind was free from bad thoughts as she walked around. Hastrup closed his eyes and placed his head on the chair after him, he was tired already. Uthman had been praying too, all hoped all would be fine.


Not quite long after, a nurse rushed out of ward twelve to break a news. "Hello." She said as she moved close to them.

That got Aishat. She rushed to meet her as well as others. She looked dull as she stayed between them all. "I'm sorry oh, but I feel I should tell you this before the Doctor will come out himself. Em.. The guy you brought.. he just gave up now."


"Gave what?" Aishat held on to her uniform.

"Hakeem is dead?" Hastrup sat on the floor, he started weeping instantly.

EPISODE NINETEEN.

    Hastrup had called Hakeem many times already, he had been wondering where Hakeem could have kept the mobile phone. He had been lamenting, as well as wondering of nothing had gone wrong with him. He prayed he hadn't done what had been done already. "Uthman, speed up. Hakeem is not picking up his calls." Hastrup informed.

    "Really? Alright, no problem.. but what of the police that are following us? They might lost the way." Uthman replied.

    "They know the way, don't they? I'm not sure if Hakeem isn't in danger." He told Uthman.

    "That's what my mind just struck, I hope he hasn't gone ahead to trace those guys." He said and drove faster.

    Hastrup dialed Hakeem's mobile number again but then, he was incommunicado.

*******

    Hakeem was dying, the guy with him had left after he caused him the attack. He didn't even give him a second look as he walked out, he thought he was dramatising. Even if he was, what would he have done?

    Roneey was just recovering from the strike, he never knew Aishat was still alive, if he had known, he wouldn't have turned his back at her. "I'll kill those two.." He had been made rankled as he sat and held on to his side. "Have you tied them well?" He enquired from his guys.

    "Sure, they've been tied well." They chorused.

    "They will never play pranks with me again!" He managed to stand up. "Where's the knife?" He asked them.

    One of them brought out the knife, he was tall and huge in appearance, his facial expression was like dog who hadn't eaten for two days, he could deal with anyone. He handed the knife to Rooney and stepped back again, he stood akimbo as glanced at the box of money on the chair. "Where should that be kept?" He pointed to te box.

    "Leave it there for now, everything will be sorted out." Rooney replied and walked in slowly.

    He limped as if he had an injury on his right foot, the knife was held by his right hand and the left hand was in between his thighs, he used it to lift up his trouser because it was too long. If he had walked normally, he would have felt the pain more. He approached the two rooms where Hakeem and Aishat were.

******

    "Speed up!" Hastrup hit Uthman by the shoulder. He was uncomfortable as he sat and looked forward. They just got to Kolapo Ishola Estate, a stone-throw from Legacy Guest House. "I guess we're going to make a turn there right?" Uthman asked.

    "Yeah." Hastrup pointed to the turning by the front of the guest house. "Alright." He applied the brake because of the pot holes and trafficated to the left. He checked the left side mirror to know Tomi and Tofunmi were still behind, as well as the police. "What if we can't find him there? How could he have left his phone somewhere? How do we trace him?" Uthman hissed.

    "We can't tell, Hakeem is not like this. He has been the one calling me since, something must have happened. Just that, the iPad is with him.." he was frustrated.

    "Nothing will happen to him, Insha Allah."

    The got to the main entrance of Peace and Progress Estate, Hastrup views the field and saw no one. "Let's ask these security men about him." Hastrup told Uthman.

    He alighted after the car halted and walked to the men there. He could see a old man and an average young man there. He greeted and explained what he needed. The men told him where the car had passed after he told them they were looking for kidnappers. If not, the security men would be adamant.

    The police and Tofunmi drove behind as they approached Uthman's car. The security men told them that Hakeem drove straight down, and since then, he hadn't returned. "Just keep going straight."

*****

    Rooney opened the door to Hakeem's room and laughed as usual. Were you tied to fall on the floor? Answer me, were you?" He smacked him.

    Hakeem's airway had swelled, this caused the short breath. He was still struggling, already shivering. Everything would be over soon.." he had thought.

    "I don't wish to kill you at once, I want you to die a slow and painful death." He laughed and smacked him again.

    "Guys!" He beckoned and continued. "Come and beat heaven out of him, a person like him shouldn't make heaven."

    His guys also approached.

******

    Hastrup kept calling Hakeem, he had switched off the air conditioner and was sweating. "Just keep going as we...." he almost completed the sentence when he sighted Hakeem's Honda Pilot a distance from them. "That's. . That's th..the car." He stuttered as he looked happy, I hope Hakeem hasn't entered.. I just hope." He said as he breathed heavily. "Just park behind the car, the police would carry out their job." He said as Uthman marched on the accelerator, who cared if the road was bad?

    Both came down immediately and waited for the policemen to come down from their car. Hastrup pointed to the building,  so they could know. They checked the car and met no one, Hastrup got his iPad and checked it, "the guys are here." He said and looked forward.

   Immediately, the police came down. They were eight, excluding the driver. They all stood together and whispered to one another before they climbed the fence.

    One of them was outside, at the front of the gate while the seven had stormed into the building. Their leader had pointed places where they'd hide and pass to the guys and also walked stealthily with them.

    He approached the main door of the house and met it unlocked. He opened it gently and walked in with two guys, all were alert as they looked around. All the guys had gone upstairs then, to beat Hakeem up.

    The policemen could hear sounds, even in Hakeem's condition, he was beaten.

*******

    They finally got to the front of the room and halted, 3..2..1..0 The man counted within and got the door opened. "Freeze." He said as he entered with a policeman, the others were in the living room, watching.

    As if a charm was used, they all froze. All their dsngerous weapons were collected from them.

******

    Aishat was also untied when the visited the room and saw that she was there. She was the subject, to the policemen. They never knew Hakeem had been involved too. "Hakeem." Aishat touched him as they walked out. It was one of those those guys, that was told to carry Hakeem.

    His eyes were close, she felt his pulse but none was convincing about his wellness. "Hakeem!" She kept shouting as they got outside and both were rushed to the hospital.

******

"I need no treatment, I'm fine." Aisht insisted as she almost followed Hakeem to the ward.

    She sat down with others, Uthman and Hastrup had gone with the police, after they insisted that they must follow them.

    The Doctor walked out slowly as he placed the stethoscope round his neck. He looked sad like Aishat was and came directly to Aishat. Em.. see me in my office.
