She wanted to talk to Kwame but what is the
use of talking to somebody who couldn’t remember who has been with before she
thought. She went straight to her room and saw him lying down.he was not asleep
his look was indifferent. She went ahead to sit beside him on the bed. He
didn’t move but kept on looking at her. She smiled and greeted and asked him
how he was doing. Before he could say anything she turned and kissed him.
"We had something going on?" He asked. She
answered affirmatively then he continued "I am sorry if I made you feel bad…
why didn’t you tell me anything….i was beginning to make passes at Leticia"
then he laughed and said "it feels like I know her but I can’t figure out where
I met her."Shika now told him everything about Leticia and why they came up to
the room together the other day.
He apologized again and Shika told him how
shocked she was when she heard the news about him that fateful day. She even
showed him the letter he wrote to her. She had kept it in her bag all this time
so she can show it to him whenever she got the chance. His headache came back
and he screamed out loud. The pain was unbearable. Perhaps he was coming back
to his senses. Shika wished for that to happen soon.
She rushed out and called the doctor on duty.
He examined Kwame and asked him to rest some more. As soon as he left Shika
followed but met Leticia by the doorway. She stood there and blocked the
doorway so she couldn’t pass. Then told her Kwame was sleeping. Leticia shook
her head and turned to leave but like she was giving it a second thought turned
again and pushed Shika away from the door.
The
doctor got there in time to stop whatever was going to happen. He told Leticia
to allow Nana Kwame to rest and asked Naa Shika to follow him to his office. He
asked her what the problem between the both of them but she wouldn’t budge. He
decided to leave them alone since none was willing to corporate.
Kwame who had been sent home was bored to
death just after two days. He didn’t know what to do since the major part of
his time was spent at the hospital helping the sick to heal. He decided to go
out but heard the honk of a car and was glad that he showed up when he did. It
was Yaw Agyepong. He came to visit him knowing too well how bored he would be at
home all by himself.
When he got close he hugged and gave him a pat
at his back. Kwame felt he knew the reason why he was there….to bombard him
with questions. Even though he was happy to see him, he was not too sure he
wanted to answer any of his questions. They both went indoors and Kwame sat on
the couch whilst Yaw went to the bar and helped himself with the cognac he
found then joined him on the couch.
"Start talking" he said as he sat down
beside him. Nana Kwame just looked at him sip the cognac and just smiled. Yaw
was little bit disappointed because his best friend didn’t tell him anything about
his recent escapades. His life was too boring because as far as Yaw knew, Nana
kwame had been holding on to some love that was never bound to be possible…or at
least that was what he told him.
Kwame
told him how he had gotten himself trapped in web. It was love web and just
when he fallen for Shika’s good looks, his one true love came up from nowhere.
He told yaw how brushing shika aside just for Leticia was going to difficult.
Then understood what the whole hullabaloo in the office was about. He wished he
could say something to make him to feel good but there was nothing he could say
and most importantly he didn’t want to be the one to choose for him since its
matters of the heart.
Yaw
held him by the shoulder and said "I know you will make the right decision and
take the right girl. He continued…"just study the two very well and like we always
say appearance can be deceptive". They watched game together and soon Yaw’s
wife Linda called so he had to leave. Unlike his friend who was single, he had
been married for five years now and has two kids with his nagging wife. Even
though he deeply loved his wife there were times he felt it was way too much
for him to bear.
Linda would complain about his coming home
very late in the night and not eating her food although she knew how tedious
his work at the hospital was. it had become
daily routine but since he had gotten use to the fact that she may not
stop this attitude he decided to live with it and try not to get her in that
mood. He hurriedly said goodbye to his friend and asked that he didn’t worry
and everything was definitely going to fall into place.
