Alone - Season 1 - Episode 15

Kamsi stood up and Ted replaced her. She served him and joined me on the bed while we all chartered away.

Ted told us about himself. He was 26, born and raised in California. He worked with a telecommunications company there in California and was just home to see his parents who lived at Enugu but somewhere I couldn’t remember the name. He said his own house was in TransEkulu and he was just going home from his parents house the morning he had hit me. I wanted to ask him why he would leave his parents house that early but I thought against it. We all said a thing or two about ourselves and that was how we all became friends. Surprisingly, Ken paired him with Kamsi and said they would be perfect together and he laughed, admitting that he liked Kamsi. The conversation flowed so well that we didn’t know that it was afternoon till the nurse returned to give me my injections and drugs. And she came in with Gospel.

He ignored every other person in the room and enveloped me in a warm embrace. I had never received such show of emotion from a male before who isn’t related to me so I was shy…..very shy, as all eyes were on us including that of the nurse.

When he finally released me, it was to look at me with loving eyes.

Gospel: I’m sorry

Me: I…..

Kamsi: I thought you won’t say that.

That was when he remembered that there were other people in the room. He began talking with them while the nurse gave me my medications and left.

Gospel: Thank you Ted for bringing her here. So many people would have left her and disappeared. To think that you’ve even being around all this while, helping the doctors take care of her.

Ted: I did what every normal human being would do.

Gospel: Thanks once again.

Ted: You’re welcome.

We spent the rest of the day chatting and eating away our lives. They would take turn to help me walk around the room. It became the normal routine; Ken would bring breakfast,Ted would handle lunch while Gospel would take care of dinner. At night before they all left, we’ll put a call to mummy through Skype and we’ll all talk for long. Then when they finally leave, Kamsi and I would help ourselves to some provisions from the cupboard.
