Chapter 65

Chioma's POV.

Agozie was finally out of coma!

After a two months - since my abduction - of him being in coma, he was finally awake.

According to Amanda, she'd decided to pay him a visit as usual, and was sitting right beside him on his hospital - as usual - with his hand in hers. She said she'd noticed a slight move of his fingers at first, and had thought it was just her imagination playing tricks on her... But then, it happened again. And she hurriedly called for the doctor.

After they'd done a few examinations on him, he moved his fingers once again. And then, to everyone's ones greatest surprise, he said my name. He said my name, and woke up.

I was beyond amazed at the the news, but I was mostly grateful and happy that he was finally out of coma. At least, the burden of having to blame myself for his condition had been lifted off my shoulders.

And as far as Amanda is concerned? She was the happiest. She couldn't contain her excitement and joy, and wouldn't even let go of Agozie's hand - not even for a second. Tears of joy streamed down her cheeks, and she kept smiling from time to time.

Meanwhile, I stood at a corner, not ready to even face him - yet. I didn't know what to say, and I preferred to just watch the merry crew from a distance. I didn't want to bother, nor intrude, although my heart was swelling with joy.

I was still staring at him, his eyes: weak, and so we're the rest of him. He could barely muster a few words, and all he did was look.
Still staring at him - with a big smile on my face - his eyes finally locked with mine, a small smile half-stretched through his lips. He was still staring at me, and I had to return the smile.

"Chioma..." He drawled, trying to hard to be audible enough. The strain in his voice was clear, and to save him the stress, I immediately walked towards his bedside - with all eyes now fixed on me.

The minute I got closer, I choked on a sob, and almost cried out loud like a sick baby... But I didn't, I had to hold it all in.

"Agozie... How...?" No, that was a stupid question to ask, I could clearly see he was barely okay. He could barely speak for himself, and the confusion in his eyes was evident that he needed some explanation. My words hung in my throat, and a lousy sob escaped my lips instead. Betraying me.

"... I was so scared! I thought you..." Another lousy sob escaped my quivering lips, and I felt his shaky hands slowly - really slowly - reach for mine.

"I'm... Fine" he muttered, a small - barely visible - smile on his face.

Soon, we heard a soft knock on the door, and all heads were turned towards its direction... And in came Femi. The minute his eyes landed on mine, they lingered - longer than I'd expected - and a visible longing swept into his deep brown orbs.

Slowly, I'd looked away, feeling a bit uncomfortable, and not willing to draw any attention to myself. I heard his approaching footsteps, and soon, I felt his presence behind me, his figure towered over me, and his cologne invaded my nostrils, toiling with my senses. His hot, and slightly ragged breath, fanned my neck and I immediately felt a rush electricity down my spine, and the goosebumps arose on my skin - visibly.

It felt like he didn't want to leave, but after a few seconds, he walked away, and went to stand behind Agozie.

"Guy..." He smiled at Agozie. I tore my eyes away from the ground, and set them on his figure. He had his back turned against me, and I watched as he chatted animatedly with Agozie. His mother and father, and even his sisters, were all happy - why wouldn't they? He was their only son and brother.
