Adesuwa POV
Why did I wish for a call to interrupt Tony and I. If I had known it was this kind of call I wouldn't have wished for it, now I'm sitting here in the hospital with a dry up tears face, my brother stands next to me trying to put up a tough exterior for my sister and I.
Tony squeezed my hand to show he is next to me giving me the support I wanted.
Confused, shocked, scared that's all I felt. This is going to be the worst Christmas I've ever experienced.
"I don't want to loose her" I croaked out and Tony squeezed it again "I can't loose her, I can't loose someone again" I bursted into tears again for the fifth time since I got to the hospital and Tony pulled me to him
"She's going to be better and I'm here, I promised to never let go of your hand no matter what" he says and shows me our interlocked hands.
"Adesuwa" I heard my Aunty Itohan call as she walked up to us with her big hand bag and pencil heels.
I quickly pulled away from Tony. She walked up to my sister Esosa and pulled her into a hug.
"How are you children feeling?"
We nodded our head
"How bad is she?"
"She's in the ER " Efosa answered
Itohan is my mother's younger sister and only sibling, she's single and working in NEMA so she's not always around in but traveling.
An iPhone ring tone pulled me out of my I thought and I watched as Tony excused himself and went to pick the call, after answering it he came back to me.
"Ummh, Adesuwa..." He looked apologetic and I gulped scared of what I was going to here. " I'm sorry, I wish I could stay but I have to go"
I thought you promised to never let go off my hand, to never leave me again no matter what I wanted to scream at him
"My dad just called now and he wants me home....I really want to stay here with you but I have to go" he explained further
"Tony..." I felt my words hang in my throat.
I still couldn't believe my mom had an accident, a hit and run, I'm just happy people were around to help her. I wanted to beg him to stay, I wanted the skin contact to keep me from going insane.
I nodded.
"I'll be back tomorrow" he assured me and hugged me before walking away.
It's been a week now and Tony didn't fulfill his promise, he didn't come back. I want to be mad at him but I cant. We've been staying in my aunty's place in Gwarimpa and she's been nice making sure we eat to our satisfaction, trying to cheer us up and when she's heading to the office she drops us off at the general hospital.
My mom is out of the ER, thank God. It's Christmas eve and we decided to spend it with our mom in the hospital, the hospital is well decorated with red, white, gold and green. I became friends with one of the doctors taking care of my mom, he is an intern.
My thoughts moved to my mom, I am grateful to God for keeping her alive, for not making my siblings and I an orphan. The ringing of my phone brought me out of my thoughts, I check the number to see a foreign number.
"Ummh, hello"
"Hi, Adesuwa?" The voice sounds unsure
"Yeah"
"Thank God" he sounded relief "I've been trying different lines"
"Sorry please who is this?" I still didn't know who is on the line.
" it's Tony"
I Felt my heart do a back flip "Tony"
"Hey, I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you. When I got home, we had to leave Nigeria immediately for the Christmas holiday that's why I couldn't visit you guys in the hospital"
"But you didn't call" I stated
"I kinda lost your number, I'm sorry"
I don't think I can ever hold a grudge against him even if I want to.
"It's ok"
"Merry Christmas"
"It's not yet Christmas day" I chuckled
"In Nigeria, it is here" he chuckled softly "so how do you plan on celebrating it?"
"With my mom in the hospital" I said
"How is she?"
"She's good, she's strong we will make it" silence fell in between us, I could hear his soft breathing through the phone as I held on to it like my dear life. "What about you how are you spending your Christmas?"
And then he begins to tell me how he plans on celebrating it. We chatted for close to two hours before we decided to call it a day. He told me he would be returning to Nigeria after the new year's celebration with a present for me and I was looking forward to resumption
Christmas is gone, new year is gone and my mom has been discharged but she's making use of a crutch, every Tuesday she goes to see the physiotherapist, my Aunty forces her to attend it. The good Samaritan who rushed my mom to the hospital came everyday to visit sometimes he comes with his son who is three years older than me, we became very good friends. We celebrated the new year together.
I complained to him about Kezz, how Kezz hasn't called me since the beginning of the holiday, how anytime I call him either he says he is busy and will call me later or he'll not pick the call. He knows Kezz and I are dating, I told him everything that happened between Kezz and I even before we started dating.
"I don't trust that Kezz guy even that Tony, there is something fishy about them" his words not mine.
Three days to our resumption, I got a surprise call from Kezz. I was shocked and annoyed at him at first and didn't want to pick it but then as I watch my phone vibrate on the table my heart couldn't help but beat fast, I wanted to know why he called, I was dying to hear his voice, the voice that did things to me.
Before the call went off I picked it up and immediately his voice came through.
"Hey babe"
"Hi" I replied making sure my voice didn't sound too happy.
"What's wrong?"
"You just forgot about me" I was angry at him, how could he just forget about me didn't he love me.
He sighed " I didn't forget about you, how can I. I really love you Adesuwa, I don't want you to ever doubt that "
Him saying he really loves me brought smiles to my face. I love him too and I don't think I'll ever doubt his love.
"Let me make it up to you, I'm celebrating my birthday tomorrow and I'm throwing a party I want you to be present as the celebrant's girlfriend"
"I..I don't know ooo" I was unsure, I couldn't leave my mom like this and go for a party though we are staying with my Aunty for now but still..
"C'mon Adesuwa, I want you there promise you'll come" he pleaded
I had double mind about this Birthday party but I didn't want Kezz to get mad at me, I don't want him to say I don't love him enough to support him.
"I promise"
Wazzaoow!!!
