I Fit Crase

Right now, K waa still holding her hand when he noticed some movement. She has been immobile since she was brought to the hospital. So getting to see her move her fingers and her eye balls move behind those closed eyelids, he was hoping she would open her eyes.

For over five minutes she kept doing it but wouldn’t open her eyes. It made him frustrated.

“Lanre! Lanre! Open your eyes if you are going to. Stop keeping me in suspense”. He said. He rings in the nurse.

“Call the doctor! She’s moving some parts of her body”. The nurse hurried to go fetch the doctor who was busy with another patient.

“Sir! The patient in the VIP ward that was brought in this morning, she moved”. The nurse said. The doctor asked if she’s awake, the nurse told him not yet.

“Then let me first attend to this patient. I will be there when I’m done here”. The doctor said. The nurse returned back to Lanre’s ward. She told K to exercise patience, that the doctor would soon be available.

K bit his lips. “Tell him to come now!” K ordered. The nurse flinched. She managed to stay. She told K that the doctor was attending to another patient.

“I thought he should be busy trying to find out what is wrong with her?” K asked. He was beginning to lose it.

“That does not mean he would neglect a patient that needs his attention”. The nurse said. K asked if he was the only neurologist in the hospital. The nurse told him that was not the case. But that he had request for the best, so the rest cannot attend to Lanre unless he would allow it.

“You all are crazy. I want the doctor now!” He yelled.

“Kehinde!” A voice reached K’s ears. It felt like a calm breeze had greased his skin and calm his heart. He asked the nurse to leave. Then he walked close to the bed and took Lanre’s hand.

“Hey baby girl! Are you alright?” He asked. But immediately hit his own head asking himself why he had to ask such a question knowing she’s not alright. Lanre frowned. She asked him why he was hurting himself.

“I don’t know. Maybe because I’m madly in love with you. I got scared thinking I was going to lose you”. He said. He took a deep breath. Then he looked into Lanre’s eyes.

“Lanre, I fit crase if anything happen to you (I would go mad if anything was to happen to you). So I de beg you, stay with me no matter what (So I’m pleading, stay with me no matter what)”. K said to her. He kissed her on her forehead. And hugged her as she laid on the hospital bed.

“What is….mm mm! I should not ask”. Lanre said. She had wanted to ask the date. But she would not want to experience what she had passed through in the morning. So she decided not to ask.
