TEJUMOLA (EPISODE 21)


I winced quietly as something pinched my wrist; it had been a long night, I reasoned.

“Yes, Doctor, here is the sixteenth bag of sugar drips.”

"I heard a woman say,"

“What's her pulse, hmmn?” Is everything still fine?” A well-known male voice enquired.

No, Doctor, it's a little faster.” voice of a lady replied.

“I'll have a look at her pulse.”

Wasn't I supposed to be here? Drip was given to whom?

Which of you had a faster pulse?

I was aware of a cold sensation on my chest and fought it.

I was to resist any and all attempts to open my eyes.

That is something I am not willing to do.

“Yikes! Her heart rate is really high!” masculine yelled.

My eyes sprung open at that very moment, and I quickly took a breath.

I was on a hospital bed.

What precisely are you doing? I'm not sure how I ended up in this situation.

At my feet, a petite woman stood. Maybe she's a nurse in a white outfit.

She looked at me and exclaimed, "Doctor?" She had a terrified expression on her face.

Why, though, is that? Is it possible that I am a spirit?

A male voice shouted, "Oh my God!"

Dr. Raymond was standing in the direction I turned.

I forced myself to sit up when they did not respond.

“Ouch!”

The drip needle was yanked out from under me.

“How did...” “We'll have to do some checks on her,” Dr. Raymond, who was attempting to hold me, said, "Quickly."

“Get off my back, jor!” I shoved him in his seat.

Please keep your hands off of me.

“How did I end up here?” They got a shout from me.

“Invite Mr David.” According to Raymond the health-care professional.


“Jeez!” As he marched, David yelled in my direction.

“Is she awake?” 

Wow!” he informed

Before hugging me, I had to consult with a doctor.

“Thank God,” he said, laughing as he looked over, as if I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I gave him a disapproving glare.

“We don't have to talk about that right now, baby...”

"I am adamant." I yelled something.

“You've been unconscious for seven days,” says the doctor.

Dr. Raymond began to explain what he was talking about.

“uhm?” I became increasingly perplexed.

“You were startled, convulsed, and turned into a monster.” He shrugged when asked about being unconscious.

“I was startled, convulsed, and turned into a monster.” and...” I tried to imitate his actions.

“How?”

With a shake of his head, David expressed his displeasure with the current situation

“Mummy!” Eniola squealed as she dashed towards me.

“What a little cutie...,” I gave her a hug and a kiss.

“I was afraid you wouldn't return, Mummy.” again… Since you left, I've been sobbing.

“Mummy, are you sure you don't want to fall again?” You'll never sleep like that again you hear?”

She continued to spew out her thoughts.

Maria said, "Kpele- sorry.”

“Maami…” I hugged her and murmured, "I love you."
