I got back to my home in akure in the evening and I
was so tired and weak. The news of my accident had
reached my neighbours and I guessed it was the
handiwork of segun. I was greeted on after the other
by everyone in my neighbourhood. “E kpele ooo, erora
oooo, sorry oooo, oluwaseun ooo pe emi yin wa laye
oooooo…..” Was coming from left to right as I
dropped from the bike that stopped infront of my
house and walking inside the house .
I begged one of my neighbours to borrow me her
phone and I used it to call segun to inform him that
I’m around. He told me he would be in my house right
away.
I opened the door of my room. I dropped my cross-
bag on the bed and my credentials file on the
wardrobe where I used to placed it. I was so hungry
and I called on one of my neighbour’s daughter and I
gave her 300naira to buy food for me from “mama
biliki” who owns a local canteen beside my house.
she returned with a plate of rice, 2 meets and
50naira change. I gave her the change to keep it and
she went away. I was eating my food when I heard a
knock on my door.
ME: who is that?
VOIcE FROM OUTSIDE: its segun.
ME: ok ***i stood up to open the door from behind
and we both hugged each other and returned inside
the room***
SEGE: padi mi. Thank God for your life oooo. Na so

ME: you no well. But I thank God sha. Are you the
one that informed my neighbours about my accident?

iyabo on my way to my house and I informed her
when she asked about you.
ME: I thought as much. But that mama iyabo no dey

SEGE: how?
ME: she too dey talk and do gbeborun. You can’t
believe almost everyone on this street had already
heard about the accident.
SEGE: eeyah, and na only her I tell ooo. I for no tell

have been absent at home since thursday. That was
when I told her that you had a minor accident in
abuja.

SEGE: what about the guy you said he stays in abuja

ME: his family doesn’t live there anymore and no one
knew his new address. Sebi that was what I was
thinking about that made me lost concentration
before I got hit by a car.
SEGE: eeyah. Pele, who now took you to hospital?.
ME: the doctor said it was a passer’s by
SEgE: really?
ME: yeah, he even paid the bills.

wherever he may be .

SEGE: ***sits down properly*** ehn ehn?
ME: when I woke up. Bimpe was the first person I
set my eyes on. She was wearing a white nurse
outfit, just like the dream I told you about.
SEGE: are you sure you aren’t dreaming at that time
too?.
ME: at first I thought it was a dream. But later, I
found out that it was a reality. The colour of the
room, the bed, everything just looked like the dream.
The only difference was that, my legs and hands
were not tied and bimpe wasn’t holding a gun.
SEGE: this is serious!!!
ME: according to the doctor, she was the one who
stood my me from the moment I was rushed in and
all through the night.
SEGE: but wait ooo, sebi you said she was a uniport
student that year na,. How come she now works as a
nurse?. I don’t get it.
ME: me too, I was confused. But she later told me
that she was actually in a school of nurse when we
met. She just decided to lie due to inferiority
complex.
SEGE: o ga oooo, then how did she got to abuja. Abi

ME: segun!!!, you just hate this girl sha. Haba!!!!

hospital owner from PH.

ME: **smiled**, actually she did. Twice
SEGE: **screamed*** haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!. Onihaxy!!, you

ME: she said she can’t kill me. That if she wanted to
do so, it would have happened when I was
unconscious

ME: yes. She was even the one who provided all the
food I ate all through.
SEGE: you mean she took you to her house to feed
you?.
ME: no, it was in the hospital. She never allowed me
