Chapter 14

Mide walked into the room after his altercation with Fortunate. Ebun's face literally lit up on seeing him. "Hey baby, are you still mad at me?" She asked and he shook his head.

"Really?" She asked and he placed a knee on the bed then he sighed shaking his head.

"I'm still angry but...."

"You can't stay mad at me cause I can go anytime and you don't want to be in my bad book, I get it"

"You're doing it again"

"Come close let me lean on you. I want to smell you" she requested and he removed his shoes then he sat just close to him. Ebun leaned on him letting out a sigh.Her temperature was so hot, so much it almost burned through the blue shirt Mide wore. It was as though someone pressed a hot iron to his skin.

"Your temperature is something else" he complained.

"My whole system and immune system is shutting down. It's only normal to experience this on one's last days" she answered then she noticed him roll his eyes.

"Why don't you want to accept it and just let it be?" She requested and tears poured down his eyes again.

"Cause I love you and it's hard, it's going to be so hard to... You know go by life without the love of your life" "Miracle is a pretty woman"

"Let's not talk about her"

"I threatened her and I told her I'll come back through her womb if she doesn't adhere to my instruction but she obviously didn't listen so... It even made her angry"

"I'm not interested either"

"She's not a bad person, I told her you're not a bad person either and she just has to give you a try, so do you"

"Argh!!!!" Mide sighed in exasperation, he wasn't interested in having any conversation with Fortunate as the main topic. "Madam Match Maker, can we change the topic? Please? " he chipped in and this forced a laughter out of Ebun and she coughed. "When did you start coughing?" "A while ago" she cleared her throat.

"I'm fine. I want to make calls and call my colleagues i went to college with and just tell them goodbye. Those I still know from secondary school, Incase I don't, I have the phone number on my phones. You can check the WhatsApp group chat if you're confused about the names to invite on my burial"

"Please Ebun, please just.... Can we just pretend for a minute, I'm not asking for anything more. Just a minute to pretend this isn't happening. A minute to be happy like we used to be"

"I'm not running from this, I'm sorry"

"I met Abiku today.." he dragged and Ebun raised herr brow in interest. "When I went out to clear my head. I stopped by in a field. She appeared to me in a child form, she said something about Que Sera Sera. All the while she was talking to me and I didn't even realize no one was seeing her. There were kids and I completely looked like a freaking psycho" he explained and she laughed then she started coughing again.

"Should I get you water?"

"No. Poor kids, you probably scared them" she answered in between the cough then she covered her lips with her palm.

"Poor kids? I was the one who looked like the psycho" Mide took a bottled water on the surface of the drawer then he  poured it into a glass cup then he gave it to her. Her hands trembled as she grabbed the cup and the water poured on the bed.  The cough got even more violent she could feel the taste of blood in her mouth she coughed into her palm only to notice blood on it.
