And I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No, I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Chapter thirty nine

Hours on, the red blinking light turned into a dark blue light and subsequently the theater doors became widely opened. Two nurses came out pushing the flat surface she was been laid on.

Khalifa who has been standing physically all the time quickly walked to her, she wasl with a Nebulizer and her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping peacefully.

Khairiyya was holding Nadia firmly as they also stood up to where kulthum was because she was emotionally traumatized.

“it is okay Naddy…. Everything is going to be fine now” Khairiyya said trying to console her abbur she wouldn’t stop shading tears

“I was the first to encounter her initial accident in Lagos and now i was the very first to notice her getting into a convulsion still in Lagos!” she broke down again as she said

Khairiyya tried her best to convince her to be escorted to the VVIP wards where they recently took kulthum to.

They signaled to khalifa that they were going together with kulthum and he nodded for them to go ahead. He wiped out the tear that fall down his upper cheek and shook hands with the doctor in charge.

“Doc. Khalifa” the doctor said smiling as they shook hands

“Everything is alright now…we just have to monitor her condition from now on and that’s all”

“She was rushed here while she was already in convulsion but thankfully she was back to normal stage after some seizure injections. And it seems like she once had a tumor surgery, right?” the doctor said

“Yes. I was part of the surgery that time” khalifa further out

The doctor hmmed and opened up to talk again “I can see the surgery was a success, however we still can’t guarantee her safe relation with epilepsy. Nonetheless, we will attempt our best to see that the medication given to her will make her manage and maintain the condition easily, I promise you this”

Khalifa was happy to hear such a good new and even smiled at him as they shook hands and greeted goodbye to one another.

The door was knocked and the knob rotated revealing none other than khalifa with a huge bouquet of flowers in his right hand and also another bouquet that was filled with books by his arm while a small bag was lingering in his left hand.

He was all smiley looking a bit blushed as he met eye contact with her.

She was on bed, lying on her back. When he saw her she comforted him with her soft smile and dragged herself to sit upright inviting him to join her. The rail wasn’t rise so he rised it for them and sat on beside her. She immediately wrapped her arms around him the moment he climbed on and buried her face into his neck searching for his warmth.

He adjusted himself, pulling her to him. And they were apparently comfortable in that position. Her eyes closed when khalifa’s soft warm lips touched her forehead.
