41/STAY ETORIA

Adrik

" I'll go get us something to eat grandma" I said making my way on my feet but she stopped me

"Adrik my son , you've been here for 3weeks now , how about you go home for sometime i'll be here"

"No grandma , once I get back I'd drop off at home "

" Okay, dear just take care if yourself too ,Etoria might still be unconscious and critical but she definitely won't be happy with what you're doing to yourself now"

" Grandma am only doing what I deserve and what's right'

" It's not right son, it's not right none of this is your fault '

" But if I had evaded the police like she had asked me to , I would have been with her , she wouldn't have self sabotaged "

" Dear, you went to prison for her , you went to come out a better man don't lose focus on the purpose Adrik"

"You know what grandma, you're right I went in to come out a better man but I didn't go in to come out a better man to a dead body grandma "

"What are you saying Adrik, Etoria is still very much alive , you are not the better man you claimed you would come out as if you think that way "

"Grandma am sorry , I just.....I'll go and get the bin...no the fruit I mean food " I said still feeling disturbed

"Come here boy "

"Am so scared grandma , I don't want to lose her I really don't "

"And you won't son , just like the day I helped your mother fight for her love those years ago , I will give you the same advice today son"

"Your help towards my mother back then may not have yielded the best result but I know she was happy and she died glad she gave the world me "

"Yes my child, that's the spirit now I'll tell you Etoria is fighting s battle but as the love of her life and she being yours, she is not alone in the fight "

"Never alone "

"Absolutely not , she fights spiritually but you will help her fight physically, you have always been her strength don't lose yourself for fear of losing her . My dear believe and you'll see the wonder of your Almighty Allah "

"Thanks grandma "

"Ohh shhhsh , am hungry now hurry and go get me some chicken nuggets "

"Do I need to remind you your age, you can't use this to sneak in things that are bad for your health grandma "

"But..but am fit and fine " She said sneakingly

"Still a NO grandma "

"You unfilial son of mine huh, Clarisse take a look at how he's treating me , am so....."

I got in my car and made my way to get us breakfast

I thought about it all in a split second , Etoria's condition how my life is a mess right now

I don't want to go back to who I was before , I can only move forward so I made my mind

I would only grow and as long as Etoria is with me I won't fret not fail to live and in that moment my eyes snapped towards a mosque I ended driving past but seeing it made an impact

I haven't prayed since I got released from prison but that's not the point right now so I zoomed faster to get us food

"Here are your orders to go sir" The waiter said snapping me back from my little memory of when I and Etoria would have multiple cat and dog fights over who gets the last chicken nugget
