After a while, the doctor came out, with a
calm expression on his face that already
comforted Tobi.

“How are you related to the patient?” He
asked cautiously.

“I’m his wife.” Dera said quickly.
“Best friend.” Tobi added.
Abena’s eyes fluttered open at the sound of
the doctor’s voice. She strained her voice to
hear what he had to say, ignoring the pain in
her back.

“Well he’s very lucky, he didn’t hit his head
during impact, its his leg that I’m most
worried about. We have operated on his leg,
and from what I see, he would walk again.
After six months of healing and therapy, he
would be fine.” The doctor said and Dera
breathed a sign of relief.
“Well can we go see him?” Tobi asked with a
smile.

“Yes. Family members only.” The doctor
said before walking past them.
Tobi followed Dera, completely forgetting
Abena who sat painfully on the totally
uncomfortable chair.

They rushed towards Joseph who was
sleeping. His leg was hoisted up and there
was a cast around it. On hearing them come
in, he woke up and stared at them,
confusion visible in his expression.
“Who are you guys?” He asked slowly.
Dera and Tobi looked at each other with
worry.

“I thought the doctor said he didn’t hit his
head?” Dera said in a panicky voice.
“I’ll go get him.” Tobi said and rushed
towards the door.

Joseph burst out laughing, much to their
surprise. “You should have seen your faces.
Oh my God!” He said, still laughing.
Dera’s mouth hung open and she slapped
him across the cheek twice. He stopped
laughing immediately but still had a small
smile tugging at his lips. She pulled him into
a hug, while sobbing and he patted her
back.

“I’m okay love. I’m fine.” He said.
“Of course yes you are. If you died, I would
have resurrected you myself.” She said still
crying.

“You scared the life out of me man!” Tobi
said giving him a friendly slap on the
shoulder.

“Don’t hit a sick man!” He said, feigning
hurt.

“Dera just slapped you, twice.” Tobi pointed
out.

“Abeg, she’s my wife. It’s allowed.” Joseph
smiled and Dera planted a kiss on his lips.
“Another reason why I can’t get married.”
Tobi joked.

“Oh! You left Abena at home?” Joseph
asked.

“Oh my God. She came. I totally forgot her
in the waiting area.” He panicked.
“Who’s Abena?” Dera asked. “Isn’t that your
baby mama?”

Tobi shot Joseph a look. “I can’t keep stuff
from her. That’s not the problem right now.
You left her on those deadly chairs. She’s
probably aching all over.”

“I’ll be right back.” He said hurrying out of
the room.

“Does he like her?” He heard Dera ask
Joseph.

“No!” He shouted and made his way to the
waiting area, ignoring the looks he got from
the nurses.

Abena had fallen asleep on the chair, her
neck was placed in the worst way, and she
shifted uncomfortably.

“Abena?” He tapped her shoulder gently.
“Huh?” She woke up and sat up. Rubbing her
eyes, she asked. “Is it time to leave?”
