Naa Shika couldn’t just believe it. It was like a dream, one she wanted to get
out of immediately. She wanted to see him badly but the thought that he
wouldn’t recognize her made her more worried and confused. She kept on in her
head how this could be possible. Someone she was chatting with just the other
day…now wouldn’t be able to recognize her. It was amazing. She decided to wait
for him to get up so she can go and talk to him.
The more she thought about it the worse her day got. She hid in the
washroom and cried her eyes out. She heard one of the nurses say that he was up
but his condition had not changed. This made her even sadder. Some of the
nurses gathered and said a prayer for him. Everybody in the hospital felt bad
for him because they knew he was a good doctor and one of the best in the
hospital.
When everybody returned to post, a stunning lady in a nurse uniform
walked in. She was tall and slender and was fair so got attention and some
nurses stopped to look at the beautiful young lady.Naa Shika’s attention got to
the lady and when she saw her face, her heart sank in…..it was Leticia James!
The lady that embarrassed Nana Kwame.They all studied the same profession. Nana Kwame had fallen in love with her back in school and seeing her there at this
moment came as a shock. It looked like she was in for surprises that day.
Leticia smiled when she saw her. They knew each other but were not very close
.Shika didn’t want to be rude so went to welcome her into the hospital like the
other ladies had done already. She had also been transferred .Leticia told her
how glad she was to have met her. The thought of making new friends all over
again bothered her. After they talked for a while Leticia let her in on a
secret…it was the reason why she had been transferred. Apparently she dated a
doctor in her old hospital but the relationship turned sore since she got to
know that he was just using her.
The man was dating two other nurses and three of his patients
while dating her too. She felt so used and didn’t want to be in the same
hospital so asked to be transferred. The conversation lasted for a while as Naa Shika also told her about the people in the hospital, which doctors were
friendly and which ones she was to avoid in order not to repeat the incidence
that happened to her.
Leticia asked her if she was the only one from KNUST who was in the
hospital. She didn’t want to tell her about Kwame but she was going to
eventually find out so she told her then she asked "which Nana Kwame?" with disdain
in her expression.Shika wanted to tell her off but she maintained her
composure.
The same Nana Kwame you humiliated! He is one of the best doctors we have in
this hospital.. Shika continued. She wanted to tell Leticia that she was dating
him but that would be difficult to believe since he remembered nothing. So
there was no need for her to know immediately. "I didn’t think I was ever going
to meet him again…I still feel sorry for him. i will ask that he forgives
me when I see him around" leticia said.
Naa Shika said nothing at this point but hoped that Kwame would just forgive her so they can continue with their lives. She had a
feeling Leticia's presence will sabotage her peaceful relationship with Kwame,
but she wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because so far Leticia had
been nice. She showed Leticia her working space and when she finally settled in
she asked her where Kwame was and she was anxious to see him.
She even told her she had forgotten how he looked
back then. Then it occurred to Shika that she had not told Leticia about his
predicament. When she told her ,Leticia was appalled but still insisted to see
him. Her insistence got on Shika’s nerves but she took her to see him anyway.
She told Leticia what Dr. Yaw
Agyapong had told her and how shocked she also was. Shika went into the room
first and Kwame turned to look at her then Leticia also came in and when
he saw her, he smiled.Naa Shika’s heart skipped a beat. Why would he smile at
Leticia and not her .She got infuriated but didn’t say anything.
Then Kwame said "Wow….we have beautiful ladies in this
hospital"shika was too angry to listen and instantly Yaw walked in and said to Kwame "I see you have met the new girl…she is Leticia James" Kwame held his head
and told them he felt a sharp pain in the head when the name was mentioned. It
was as if he knew that name.Yaw told him not to worry his head over it because
he would soon be okay." You should know Naa Shika…you two were close..i don’t know
how close though’’ Yaw giggled.
Shika excused herself and left and Leticia
followed. When she caught up with her she exclaimed "My gosh…he has grown to be
very handsome’’Shika took one look at her an walked on. Leticia wondered why
she was being so uptight about this. She walked to her desk and attended to
patients. She made up her mind to visit him frequently since she noticed that
her being there had an effect on him and that might help him to remember other
things.
Naa shika went over to Kwame’s room to check up on him before
leaving the hospital. When she got close to the door, she heard him laughing,
so she peeped through the door hole to see who was making him laugh like that.
What she saw made her heart boil.Leticia was with him. She was sitting on his
bed and they were chatting like they had been friends for a long time. Shika
knew at this moment that there was not going to be peace between Leticia and
herself.
Leticia came up from nowhere and now wants to compete
with her for his love. She thought so because of the way she looked at him
after not seeing him for so many years. She saw her as a threat to her
relationship because Kwame had confessed to her how he really felt about
Leticia then. what she didn’t know was If he was still going to feel something
for her.
