"Buddy you OK?". Louis asked from the hall after waiting for his friend over five minutes and was asked by Jasmine to check up on Ray to know what's keeping him out.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Ray replied abruptly walking towards Louis with his hand in his jean trouser pocket.

"You're sure? Because you look tensed. You weren't..." Louis was cut in.

"I said I'm fine!". Ray whisper-yelled with a gritted expression.

"Oh. OK." Louis said with a raised brow and raised up his hand in surrender.

"Good. Let's get back inside." Ray ordered than requested and walked pass him.

Louis stood there still surprise at Ray's sudden change of mood. "What's with the anger now?". He mumbled to himself.

"Are you gonna stand there and talk to yourself? Well,remember you're in the hospital, people might actually think you're going insane. So to avoid that, get in here." Ray called out before he opened the door and got inside leaving it open for Louis to follow suit.

Louis tutted before walking to the door and got inside before shutting it.

Five minutes later Rosa came in with Rosa's food. She had prepared cooked potatoes and plantain with an egg sauce for Jasmine as her dinner.
**
It was already 9pm and Jasmine's family and friends I've gone back home leaving Ray and Jasmine in the hospital room. Ray had begged Jasmine's dad for him to stay and watch over Jasmine throughout the night while he,Williams go rest. Even Rosa had pleaded for her to stay but Ray refused as well. He had convinced both of them that he's capable of taking care of Jasmine alone. So after much arguing it was agreed he stay the night with Jasmine with the promise he'll call if there's emergency.

They was awkward silence in the room. Jasmine have been glancing at Ray every minute ever since he walked in after the call. Although he tried to appear fine in everyone presence but she could still read through his face that something was bothering him.

"Raymond? Are you OK?". She finally asked haven't studied him for a while.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Why?". Ray replied with a forced smile.

"C'mon,Raym. You know you're not fine deep down. I've been watching your countenance ever since you went out and receive that call and got back in here. Please tell me what's wrong?". She asked calmly.

"Its...its nothing really. I'm fine." He replied avoiding her gaze.

"Raymond?". She called in a warning tone.

He turned and look at her. "OK, fine. You won. You're right. I'm not really fine. Its my mum." He said and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Your mum? Is she sick? Did something to her?". She asked with a worried expression.

"No. No, not that. She's perfectly fine." He answered.

"Thank goodness." She sighed in relief. "So what about her?". She asked for a better explanation.

Ray huff out. Right now he didn't know where to start from. He was contemplating on telling her that he had cancel his engagement with Sylvia,but again he was having a second thought regarding it because he doesn't know what her reaction would be. The least thing he want right now is for her to lecture him on why he shouldn't have done that and she might tell him to go ahead with the wedding plans. He doesn't want that,maybe he'll just wait a little longer before telling her,so he shoved the idea away and concentrated on his mum's case with himself.
