"Toby Wale, good to see you again!" Doctor Lewis greeted aloud in a friendly fashion. He was a chubby built man in his early fifties, draping a white coat and a stethoscope which hung around his neck. His grey beards rounded the sides of his chin and his button nose hung the rimmed glasses which shielded his small small brown eyes trailing the movement of the tall and lean figure of the boy who had a lopsided grin stretched on the corners of his lips
"Same here. How have you been ?" Toby replied, pulling out the spinning chair which sat before the mahogany table that had medical instruments displayed on it while doctor Lewis sat directly opposite it.soft breeze from the A.C whispered around the office soothingly
He chuckled "dude! I'm suppose to be the one asking you that "
Toby gave a light shrug,fixing his eyes round the white painted office which had pink plain curtains hung at the windows, paper covered beds at one side of the room, child friendly health advice neatly displayed around and not to forget the bunch of kids toys neatly packed across the room. Toby chuckled, shooking his head
"Why do I always feel like I'm visiting a playground anytime I come around your office?"
"It's for the effect, feel comfortable kind of thing. Besides, I really do have kids visiting my office though" doctor Lewis explained.smiling in a satisfactory amused kind of way
Toby groaned.
He knew that look. It was a look that doctor Lewis always gave him whenever said something amusing which toby didn't share in that sort of amusement
"I'm not a kid !" Toby grumbled aloud causing doctor Lewis to laugh out loud
"You wish!"
"I'm eighteen! "
"In three months time, kiddo" doctor Lewis countered,throwing a smirk at the boy who sighed in frustration yet the hearty smile never leaving his features.
"Can I seriously not win an argument
against you?"
Doctor Lewis smiled in response. He had been toby's family doctor/ therapist turned family friend ever since they came to Nigeria. A kind-hearted man who had-had a share of cruel fate. Having his wife divorce him since the death of his only child. He took solace in his work
"I don't see your mum around?" Doctor Le asked, leaning forward and placing his arms around the desk to get more comfortable
"That's because I didn't come with her"
"Why?"
He shrugged "nothing. " after a pause, he continued "I don't just want her worrying about me "
The hearty smile had faded causing his expression dull down. Doctor Le sighed in understanding,
"Toby...."
"I know i shouldn't have sick thoughts of dying and my mum going through pain again... but sometimes i can't help it.."
"I mean,she may not show it on her expression but I know her and if she could still be hurting cause of her cat which died some years back, how much more will she be hurting for loosing her son not to talk more about dad"
Doctor Lewis drew his chair backwards, standing on his feets and drawing nearer to toby. He placed his palms reassuringly on Toby's shoulders
"She's a strong woman, toby. And you are too. Besides, no one says you'll die soon "
