NARATTOR : oyin was lying on the bed with her eyes closed knowing fully that she was not alone. She felt his presence beside her.
OYIN: hey! Yu can stop crying now wait till am dead first you know you look ugly when you cry (touching his cheeks).
TEJIRO: best friend please don't say that, you'll will live for me and your parents, you'll survive this cancer and when you're fully recovered, you'll show that useless man that canceled the wedding cause of this little disease that you are a fighter.
OYIN: (sighs), Teji you are just trying to make me smile. We both know I'm going to die but what we don't know is when and do you really think if I am better another man will want to marry me?
TEJIRO: stop thinking like that, please!! You are beautiful oyin and any man will do anything to spend the rest of his life with you. I'n sure your cancer is not in stage four yet that means you can be saved darling. Let's just wait for the doctor to come back.
OYIN: Teji, your words are like medicine to my health. You've always been my very good friend since day one but now I am tired (shutting her eyes) and all I really want to do now is sleep again. I love you Teji ( sleeps off)
.................
TEJIRO ON HIS WAY HOME.
Only if she knows how much I love her she will fight for the love I have for her, she'll live for my sake. I know I shouldn't have those feelings for her but I just love her too much. The day she gets better I will ask her to be my girlfriend and I swear, I'll marry her. I love Oyin too much.

BACK IN THE HOSPITAL
DOCTOR : Mr Williams, your daughter can still live for more than 5 years or even more if we can be able to monitor her. If she comes for her chemotherapy treatment when its needed and most importantly, she needs love, show her love and she'll live in bliss.
But I can't assure you that she won't have crises sometimes but your daughter is a warrior and she'll survive.
Rays of hope 🙏
