Make It Rain

FIFTEEN

"Doctor when did he wake up?!" Mrs. Akande's excitement filled the room.

"Last night." She replied "He needed rest, that's why I didn't inform you."

"You are blessed dear..."

Samuel turned his head from left to right, trying to recognize everyone around him. He stared at his mother for a while before sending his eyes at the lady sitting beside him.

"Samuel can you talk?" Mrs. Akande couldn't wait

I know your voice... Mother?

Samuel fixed his gaze at her again, he finally recognized his mom. But who was the lady sitting beside him?

"Madam please don't rush him, he might not even remember any of you immediately." The nurse warned.

She was right. Samuel was only half sure that it was his mother speaking to him. He still continued to stare with his forehead furrowed, trying to remember fully who she was and why he thought she was his mother.

Jimmy! Where is... ?

Working his brain too hard brought flashes of what mission he was on before he went into a deep slumber. The monitor on his side began to beep faster as his heart rate increased. He slowly turned his head, looking around the whole room to seek Jimmy but there was no sign of him. His eyes welled with tears as they gradually rolled down to his ear.

Throwing looks between the nurse and Samuel, Mrs. Akande panicked. "Nurse what is it?!"

"I think it's time to say goodbye."

"It's time to say goodbye."

He remembered someone said that to him once, and the person's voice was very familiar to him. Like he had some kind of emotional attachment with that person.

Shola! He finally remembered.

Where is she? Is this her?

Looking to the girl sitting beside him.

"Okay I will let him rest, but please don't let that 'Shola' of a girl into here okay?"

What?!!

Samuel wished he could speak at the moment, but his heart rate did enough to relay his emotions.

The beeping rapidly increased, reading his heart rate as it accelerated. It was getting too fast for his own good at the moment.

Why would his mother send Shola away?

"This is not good, stand back!" The nurse quickly injected him with a sedative.

With initial gentle blinks, Samuel's eyes closed slowly as he drifted back into his sleep.

"Why was he like that?"

"I think he was getting emotional about something."

The lady sitting beside Samuel finally stood, "Could it be because you sent Shola away?"

The nurse walked to the door and opened it, "I don't know but please don't say too much in front of him yet." Stretching her hand out for them to leave the room.

"Come on Jadesola, let's leave for now."

Finally, Samuel was now awake. He was going to be normal again and fully recovered, Mrs. Akande hoped. She didn't care how long it would take for him to recover fully, she just wanted her baby back to normal again.

A few weeks passed and Samuel was now able to move his hands, and then his torso, being able to sit up by himself even though it was just for a few minutes. It exhausted him a lot, he still needed more rest.
