Chapter 47

Femi's POV.

Amanda and I sat beside Chioma on the couch provided in her hospital room. I watched as the tube containing Drip trickled down from the tube and into her hand which it was connected to. She still hadn't woken up and I felt I needed to stay a bit longer, at least till she wakes up.

It'd been over an hour since we got here, on my request, Chioma was attended to immediately. According to the doctor, he said the sickness was caused by emotional stress and unrest which lead to the breakdown of her immune system's activeness as well her respiratory and musculoskeletal system. He also advised that she'd be allowed to rest properly and every condition that could possibly lead to stress be eliminated as quick as possible.

Checking the time on my watch, I sighed. My mom had already called me long ago and had asked about my whereabouts. I'd said that I was visiting a sick friend at the hospital and would be back in a few minutes. I groaned, knowing she was still expecting me to return soon.

"I have to leave. I'll probably drop by tomorrow to check on her" I said to Amanda, getting up to leave.

"Okay, sir. I'll let her know you were here" she replied and I nodded my head with a smile.

"Goodnight" I said, before heading for the door.

"Goodnight, sir" she replied, and with that, I finally left the hospital room.

"Femi, what happened between you and Kunmi yesterday? I went to her house to pay her mom a visit and she told me Kunmi has been upset ever since she returned from our house today. Oya, bere soro (oya, start talking)" she said to me the minute I walked into the house, with her hands on her hips.

I let out a loud sigh and groaned.
"Mama, Ekaale  (good evening, mom)" I greeted instead and sat down on a couch nearby.

"Evening. Oya, what happened? Did you guys fight?" She asked and I ran a hand through my face and shrugged.

"I'm not the reason behind the so-called fight. I even apologised severally but she didn't even listen. I don't know why she's even upset" I said and mom shook her head and sat down beside me on the couch.

"Did you try calling?" She asked and I nodded my head, affirmatively.

"I called her seven good times in the morning, I also called her once more in the afternoon but she ignored my calls. Kunmi...I don't know why, but she's just changing" I said and mom placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled at me.

"She's your friend, your very close friend. She's probably upset that you guys aren't hanging out much, like before. Remember? Then you'd always want to visit her and you'd even sleep over on some occasions" mom said, her smile still evident.

"Mom, we were kids then and very stupid. I'm not saying I don't want things to be that way again, I'm only saying that she's not helping me make things that way again. And it's beginning to really upset me" I replied and mom reached for my hand and sighed.

"Tomorrow, after work. Make sure you go see her. Just give her more of your time if that's what she wants. You guys can just catch up a little bit, see if that works" she said and I shook my head vehemently.
