A Story Written By…
In the morning, Odin woke up smiling. As I watched him closely, I saw the photocopy of my husband. “Mummy, where am I? What happened to my hand?” “Don’t worry honey, you will be fine.” “I love you mummy but I don’t know that man that was on top of you.” “Ooh…don’t worry about that baby.” All of a sudden, Odin closed his eyes and I jumped up.
“Oh, thank God, he doesn’t know what’s going on. Besides, he’s only a child.” I said smiling, moving from one end of the hospital room to the next before the doctor came in. “Madame, what happened to your son?” “I don’t know, we just spoke now before he closed his eyes.” Checking my son’s eyes and his pulse rate, the doctor discovered that he was no longer breathing.
The doctor looked at me and shook his head. “Doctor, what has happened to him? Don’t tell me he’s dead.” I started crying. “Madame, your son is gone? Maybe there was internal bleeding we didn’t discover early.” “Gone to where? Doctor, tell me you’re kidding. Doctor, no, no, no.” I started crying as I touched my son’s body looking at him.
Indeed, he was the photocopy of his father; his replica. Holding him on my laps, I saw his eyes opened and closed and breathing in and out. “Doctor, doctor.” I shouted. A nurse came saying the doctor is doing his ward round, I should not be disturbing the whole hospital. “What are you saying? My son’s life is at stake and you are telling me not to disturb the whole hospital, you must be out of your mind.”
“Madame, don’t say rubbish to me ooo, I’m not any girl you just speak anyhow to ooo.” I felt like slapping the nurse but I didn’t want to call attention. Besides, my child’s life is far more precious than a petty quarrel. “I’m sorry nurse, I was really worried because the doctor declared my son dead.” “Dead? But look at him smiling.”
“Yes dear, he just opened his eyes now.” “Sorry ma’am, I never meant to be rude to you.” “I understand your job nurse.” I said to the nurse as my phone rang. It was Busayo. “Hello Bussy-baby.” “Hello Tonia, I didn’t see you in the office and I was really concerned.” “Ooh, an accident happened yesterday, I’m in the hospital at the moment.”
“What happened?” “My son fell down from upstairs and broke his hand.” “How? Where were you?” “It’s all my fault but I’ve learnt my lesson.” “Tony-baby, I’m coming right away. Which hospital are you?” “The Covenant Hospital.” “Oh, I will be there soon.” When she came, I narrated the entire story to her and she looked at me.
Odin was sleeping when she arrived, so we talked and chatted, remembering our university days even. “But you were a hot babe, no guy could get you that easily naah, what has changed you?” she asked, smiling. “Don’t mind me joor, I just can’t explain it jare.”
“So what are you going to do about the Kayode of a man before he destroys you and your son?” “I’ve made a fundamental decision.” “And what’s that?” “I’m removing him from office; I want him far from my life.” “I think that will be the best idea now.” “I think so too.” I said.
