A daytime nightmare 4

After sitting in the waiting room area for a while, he was called upon and a thorough test was conducted. He was told to return the next day for his text results but he insisted on having it done that same day.

With the high demand and pressure Tony was putting on the health workers, he paid handsomely to compensate them and they gladly began the process immediately. Tony was advised to come back towards the evening time for the test results. He left the hospital and located a cozy spot around to chilled while he waited for the appointed night to go back to the hospital.

Just imagine how low the mighty had fallen. For the first time in life, Tony wasn’t the almighty stock broker and business mogul, but was rather like a child that had his toy seized. A man that barely gave his wife time due to his busy work schedule, was the same man roaming around the hospital area till the appointed time he was given by the health workers to come for his test results. How much life had humbled him indeed.

As evening drew near, Tony made his way back to the hospital for his test results. He was summoned to the doctor’s office and immediately he entered the office, he could tell that something was wrong just by looking at the doctor’s face.

“Hello sir, please have a seat” the doctor said and Tony sat down. “I want to first tell you that you shouldn’t be afraid because it isn’t as bad as people think” the doctor continued. Those words were confusing and gave Tony cold reactions. “Why are you telling me all this? Is anything wrong?” he asked, “Not at all, everything is fine, it’s just that you have a health condition” the doctor revealed.

Gradually, everything began to make little sense and Tony’s fear increased. “Please Doctor, just go straight to the point, what is the problem?” he inquired as his heart raced non-stop.

The doctor looked at Tony with pity and dropped a shocker; “I’m sorry to say this sir, but I have to. You are HIV Positive!”

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
