One man can suh salt dada?

Kayla still hasn't woken up. I couldn't help but blame myself. If only me did kick dung the door likkle faster.

"Sir, would you like some porridge?" The nurse in charge of her asks and I shake my head 'no'.

If Kenya eva know seh me barely a nyam she aguh chop me up, which is why she doesn't even know where I am.

I turn on my phone, looking through my messages on my Notification Center. Some are from Claudette, Gary and an unknown number, the others are all from Kenya.

Buck buck: Yo
Buck buck: Wya?
Buck buck: mummy worried and a stress out herself.
Buck buck: yuh alive??!
Buck buck: If yuh dead me can get yuh sweater dem?
Buck buck: ?????
60 missed calls from buck buck.

I open the messages. I couldn't ignore her any longer.

Me: I'm at the hospital right now and no yuh cyaah get my sweaters.

Buck buck is typing...

Buck buck: wah yaah do a hospital?

Me: Something wrong wid Kayla.

Buck Buck: oh...

Incoming video call from buck buck.

I go outside to answer her.

"Me neva call fi see yuh big face, spin the camera and mek me see weh yuh deh" her face was close to the phone.

I spin the camera, showing her my surroundings.

"Happy now?" I roll my eyes at her.

Sassy ass.

"Yeah, come offa me phone" before I could cuss her out she hangs up.

She know betta cause me did aguh done her. Something in me told me that she's gonna come so I wait on her on the outside.

A white MarkX pulls up and parks in the parking lot and Kenya comes out, proving me right. Soon after, her boyfriend comes out of the driver's seat.

She comes over and hugs me.

"Yuh gov?" She asks me.

"Nosah" I tell her truthfully.

She puts her arm around my waist and I bring her back to the waiting room.

"Me dehya fi yuh, gwaan back guh check pan her" she urges me.

When I re-enter the room, my heart drops again. I'll never get used to seeing her like this and I don't want to. She needs to wake up right now.

The same nurse that offered me the porridge comes back in.

"What's going on? What do you know?" I bombard her with questions.

"We ran several blood and urine tests, a brain scan and flushed all the drugs from her system. After our testing we've come to the conclusion that she might show signs of amnesia and paranoia, hopefully temporary and that's if she makes it " i sigh and thank her. All me can do a pray.

Father, I know I'm a sinner in more ways than one and I come before you as such in hopes of you blessing me once more. The love of my life is in a state where we have no clue if she'll make it but I know with faith in you she can. I know that what she attempted is an unforgivable sin but I ask of you to forgive her if she doesn't make it and if she does, I hope you put a little more light in her life and help her battle her depression. I come to you as your humble servant Lord, to thank you for all that you've done for me and all that you will be doing in the future. In your might name I pray, Amen.
