At sunrise, Erasmus prepared to leave for the hospital having tidied up and decorated the house for Angel's arrival. When he got to the hospital, he settled the bills and headed towards Angel's ward. She was already dressed up and waiting for him.
"You're up already, I thought I would be the one to wake you up...I couldn't wait to leave this place...you look better today, how do you feel?...much better as compared to yesterday, can we please go now?...okay we can leave, everything is sorted out"
Erasmus drove through the gates of his apartment, immediately she got down from the car, she was amazed at the sight of the house. It was spotless clean and beautiful, she wondered if he had a maid and didn't hesitate to ask
"Erasmus, please do you have a house help?...no, why do you ask?...the house is too clean for a man to be living in, don't take it the wrong way but you know most men are lazy. They expect the women to do everything" Erasmus stared at her until he realised she needed him to confirm what she had said
"I see your point, most men might see women as the house helps but I don't see it that way. In my opinion, men should help out in keeping the house tidy because they also live in it. Let's go in and let me show you to your room".
He showed her the room she would be occupying "Wow, it's beautiful, wait! Don't tell me you prepared this place as well...sure, just for you" he said jokingly. She went round admiring the room which was tastefully furnished and adorned with colours.
"Can I please be excused for awhile?...Oh, of course, I'll be in the parlour just in case you need me...thank you". Immediately he shut the door behind him, she knelt down beside her bed and begun to cry out to God. She prayed fervently for about 2 hours. When Erasmus noticed that she was keeping too long, he went to check on her, he got to her door and heard a bit of the prayer. He opened the door slowly and entered, upon seeing her position, he knelt down beside her and closed his eyes as well, when she concluded he also did same
"Thank you Lord for answering my prayer, Amen...Amen!" She opened her eyes and saw him she almost screamed
"Were you here throughout the time I was praying?... no, I just joined you...huh, thank God, I would have been so embarrassed if you heard me... Is there something I should know or do you by any chance remember your past?... sadly, no, how I wish I did...don't worry, you will eventually remember everything about yourself... I can't continue to depend on you for everything, I must work for it. Since it will be quite difficult to find a job, I am offering myself as your house help and you don't have to pay because you're catering for me already, so that will be like my monthly allowance, what do you say to that?" Erasmus looked at her in sheer wonder before answering.
"A big no. How can I be so cruel as to hire you as my house help and besides I am not complaining about looking after you, am I?...well no but I thought of it and saw that it is unfair to you... Angel please sit, can I ask you for a favour?...yes please... please just live in this house as if you are a part owner, can you do that for me?...okay just to take that sad look off of your face, I will try...thanks and bear in mind that we will share the house chores".
