What Are You Doing?

Lanre after leaving the cell went straight to the hospital where Anita was admitted. The family was keeping it the public that Anita was hospitalised. She got there claiming to be a friend of the patient but was told she was not allowed there. Lanre told them she was not going anywhere unless she sees her friend.

“What is going on?” A voice sounded at the background. Lanre turned with a frown on her face to see it was Michael, Anita’s husband. Lanre rolled her eyes at him as though he was the one restricting her personally.

“I heard my friend was hospitalised and is in a coma. I’m here to see her, but these men you placed here are restricting me. Is there something you intend hiding?” Lanre asked Michael. He shook his head. He told her to follow him leading her into Anita’s ward.

“I remember you from the wedding. I thought you were her cousin but you say you are friends? I had not seen you until that day”. Michael said to Lanre who was busy looking at Anita.

“Did they perform surgery on her head? Why is it covered in bandage?” Lanre asked Michael. He nods his head indicating it is as she has asked.

“You should not ask me what happened. It is enough you get to see her”. Michael said to Lanre.

“Why? Do you have something you are hiding? You did not come to Lagos for business, but to spend time with your girlfriend. If you do not like Anita you should divorce her rather than making her suffer. If I were to be her, I would kill the moment I open my eyes”. Lanre said.

“I did not do anything to her. She had a fight with Philomena and ended up falling down the stairs. It was a mistake. So I can’t let take any action nor let this slip to the public. I love my wife”. Michael said.

“And Philomena? You must love her more to be protecting her from the law? I love mistakes like this. Anita helped me, so I will help her too. I will help her correct yours and your girlfriend’s mistake”. Lanre said.

Michael asked Lanre if she was threatening him. She smiled at him instead. She moved closer to Anita’s side and whispered something into Anita’s ears.

“What are you doing?” Michael asked pulling her away. Lanre yanks off her hand from his hold. She called him filthy.

“I told her to wake up fast. It’s no fun staying in the hospital with the smell of medicine and blood. With all those ghost lingering around especially the grim reapers. Or don’t you know grim reapers exist. They will be coming for you soon if you don’t stop maltreating your wife”. Lanre said with a smirk buried in her lips.

“I did not do anything to her. And stop saying such scary things in front of my wife. She may be in coma but she can hear you! So stop it”. Michael yelled.
