Chapter Four
I saw myself in a big hospital with beautiful design, it was dark in
the night so i cant really capture the colour of the room but i know
am in a hospital because of the medical equipment and the way i was
bandage also, i dont know why they off the light oh everywhere come
they scary, i try to move my leg but i cant because it was as if i
cant even feel it, i try to recall what happen all i remember is that
i was on my way to Aba when suddenly……..oh an accident…..i
remember now, but na who come carry me come here.
Thank God say i still they alive oh, because with the way that motor
do summer slam who would have thought anybody will survive it, i
believe its a miracle and Gods doing, hmmmm but what of my phone? i
guess thats not really important now, but i need it to call my people,
and i really need to call Mercy and explain things to her oh, i was
thinking deep inside the room alone, i wonder why them no assign nurse
to they watch me, i try to shout but i cant because i was too weak
like dead person, i cant even move my leg or my hand, na only my head
i they manage move small small, i wonder wetin make that tire burst,
but the tire they old na so its expected, abi na Adanna wey i mention
cause am? E fit be oh because that girl is a demon even though shes
gone shes still tormenting me in my dream, talking about Adanna
somebody open the door and walk in, the girl wear white gown maybe na
nurse, but as the person come closer she look like my mysterious
Adanna (god forbid not my),
Me: Adanna? “i ask already afraid”
Nurse: sorry?
I look well and saw that shes nothing like Adanna, maybe na my mind
don they play game with me.
Me: sorry nurse.
Nurse: am Nurse catherine, how are you feeling now? “she said and
touch my cheeks to feel my body temperature”
Me: i cant move any part of my body except my head.
Nurse: you are even lucky you are moving your head, when they brought
you we thought you wont even make it.
Me: who brought me here?
Nurse: by a good samaritan, you were involve in a terrible accident.
Me: yes i remember that.
Nurse: oh Good you have quick memory, though am not interested in that?
Me: what do you mean?
Nurse: what am interested in is how come you are the only survivor?
Me: i dont know oh, so you mean everybody die?
Nurse: not just die but got burnt to ashes, you were found far far
away from the accident.
Me: waoh thank God for my life oh.
Nurse: oh yeah you really need to go and do thanksgiving when you leave here.
Me: where is the person that brought me?
Nurse: she left after she brought you in.
Me: hmmmm thanks alot nurse.
Nurse: she also paid for your bills, so anytime you recover you are
free to leave anytime.
Me: okay thank you.
Nurse: you welcome.
She changed the drip and gave me some drugs to swallow, i swallow the
drug and after like two minutes i slept off.
I woke up in the morning and was surprise to see my loving Mercy at my
side, she was smiling as if she win award.
Mercy: hello dear.
Me: sweetheart.
Mercy: bless God for your life and am so sorry.
Me: sorry for what?
Mercy: for not telling you on time.
Me: thats no issue dear, what we should be doing is thanking God that am alive.
Mercy: yes oh, when you didnt pick the call again i was very worried
that i continue calling, i didnt sleep at all last night, is this
morning i hear the news and when i heard that only one person survive
i believe it was you because GOD wont let me down.
Me: am sorry for making you so worried.
Mercy: thats not important dear, when are they discharging you?
Me: i dont know maybe next week or more.
Mercy: hmmmm, i will stay here till they discharge you before i leave
“i look at her face and i believe something is disturbing her”.
Me: what is it dear?
Mercy: am just so happy to see you imagine if it was worse than this?.
She stood up from where she was sitting and kneel down on the ground
and raise her two hands up as she look at the sky, she started praying
and thanking God for my life, i look at her and i started shading
tears of Joy, i really dont deserve this kind girl, shes is a heaven
sent.
Chapter Five
Throughout my stay in the hospital Mercy never left my side except if
she want to go and buy something, my parents called and i lied to them
nothing happen that am okay in school, whats the need of telling them
i dont want them to be worried expecially my mum wey once she don hear
this kind news na toilet first, and beside the bill have already be
taken care of so no need telling them, i stay in the hospital for good
two weeks before leaving.
I was grateful to the person that paid the bills even though she didnt
come to visit me so that i will express my gratitude, i pray God will
continue to bless her wherever she is.
We left the hospital on friday and everybody in my compound welcome me
like family, they all show me love and care and they support me very
well, i was glad i have somebody like mercy because if not her hmmm
wahala for they oh, early saturday morning i was sleeping when i heard
her receiving a call, she was sad after that call so i engage her to
talk.
Me: whats the matter dear?
Mercy: nothing to worry about.
Me: come on tell me, i can sense something is wrong.
Mercy: really?
She left what she was doing and jump ontop me on my bed “so tell me

Me: i dont know oh, thats why am asking you.

time she will really kill me because no Mercy to save me this time,
but how can i be so stupid for falling like that, in the point that i
wanted to kill myself just to be with her, how can i be so stupid?
I was thinking out loud that i dont even know when sleep enter my eye.
:::::::
i saw a moving white cloud moving around, i dont know how but the
cloud has different colours like red black and white, as the cloud was
moving the cloud start sheding the colours away starting with the red
one, after the red one the white one, i was expecting the black one to
vanish also but no it keep on coming till it get to a signboard, a big
signboard very giant and gigantic signboard, the black cloud paused, i
saw on the blackboard the word “ABA” in capital letter, then the
black cloud start changing to something else like a human being coming
down, i didnt see the face but i know that the person is a lady, then
as if she knew something was watching her she turn and face me and
swipe her hand on my face, then i woke sweating and breathing heavily.
Mercy: whats thats? “she said as she saw me breathing heavily, she
pause what she was doing and join me on the bed.
Me: a dream.
Mercy: and i guess its a bad one.
Me: i dont know, nothing bad happen i just saw cloud with three colours.
Mercy: what colour?
Me: white, black and red.
Mercy: cloud only have two colours white and black.

was thinking about the girl who i dont even know, she covered her face
with something when she turn around to look me thats why i cant know

Blessing and Others, oh yeah let me even call Blessing to see if shes

Kpomo full everywhere oh, infact my backyard here them they sell kpomo

Me: alright na no problem, when food go ready?
Mercy: very soon dear just hold on for like ten minutes.
Me: no problemo.
Mercy: thats my dear.
I watch her as she remove the Akpu from the small black nylon and put
it inside kettle before putting the kettle on fire, i was quiet
watching her, thinking how i will survive without her, i really dont
want her to go oh but i dont have a choice, studying nursing has been
one of her dream and now that she have the chance to study it the best
i can do is to support her, afterall i love nursing too just like how
all my sisters are nurse, i wanted to study Medicine in the universiy
of Benin but jamb fall my hand, so na here i find myself and i tell
you guys i dont regret it a bit, i love the igbo lifee because its
very simple and they are very understanding and always ready to help
incase of any emergency, the only thing am afraid of here is Adanna,
and i believe shes gone for good and never coming back, but i have to
do something about this dream oh, since we depart i have been having
nightmare about her, different dreams with different meaning i even
approach my pastor when i was in Edo state and he told me to fast
about it, of course i fast and pray for three days after fasting the
week i stop seeing Adanna in my dream, but after sometime she started
appearing again, “what are you thinking” i was shock when Mercy touch
me and bring me back to life.
Me: see as you shock me.
Mercy: i don call you three times now you nor answer, wetin you they think?
Me: i was thinking how i will cope without you by my side.
Mercy: oh come on man is not even time yet, please dont put me on a
bad mode this evening oh.
Me: but am already on a bad mode.
Mercy: okay so do you want me to stay and shun the admission.
Me: not so dear, of course you will go.
Mercy: cool then cheer up is not the end of the world, lets eat abeg.
Me: okay love.
I sit up and join her on my red rug-like carpet to eat, she always
know how to cook Afang soup so am really not surprise, i enjoy the
soup because i have really miss it, i didnt eat it since because of my
IT, whether they sell the okasi leave in Edo i dont know but assuming
i saw it then in Edo state i would have bought it and cook the soup.
Me: the food is delicious.
Mercy: thanks.
Me: i know say you nor they fuckup.
Mercy: thanks to you for your encouragement.
Me: oyaa wait let me feed you.
Mercy: okay, “she drop the one in her hand and open her mouth wide i
started feeding her and feeding myself too.
Mercy: why dont you let me feed you.
Me: no just stay, my princess shouldnt stress herself.
Mercy: hmmmm this one you are acting nice, i know what you want.
Me: what is that?
Mercy: sex before sleep.
I open my mouth smiling like a smiling smiley.
