Must Read: Jide!!! (18+) - Season 1 - Episode 62

Nolly: Good morning baby….

Me: I need to get to the doctor. It’s an urgent thing.

Nolly: But it’s still 6:30am…. Where are you rushing to?

Me: 6:30? I taught I was very late already…. Anyway, I’m late… there’s traffic and all.

Nolly: Okay, I’m coming with you.


Me: Let’s get ready.

We stood up from the bed….. She tried walking past me to get away from the room…. I tried to block her….. And kissed her……

Nolly: We’re late Jide…. Stop….common….

The thought of her been raped came up in my mind….. Not like I really wanted to do anything, but she rejected my advances…. I wasn’t experienced…. I blamed it on that, now.

We got ready…. I went to my mum’s room to inform her about the whole thing….

By 7, we were on the road…..

We got to the doctor hospital around 8:30, there was some crazy traffic, which was of course expected…..

The hospital was still scanty….. We had to wait for the doctor, who didn’t arrive until about 10.

As he walked in, he spotted me…. And ushered me to his office, with him…

We sat in his office…. He wasn’t as of yet balanced, as he came in and went out in very short intervals….

Finally, he had our time….

Doctor: Good morning Jide… sorry, there were a number of patients I needed to attend to…. How are you?


Me: I’m okay sir… Please meet Nolly… Nolly, meet the doctor… I’ve been talking about…

Nolly: Good morning sir…. And nice meeting you….

Doctor: So who is Nolly?

Me: She’s my fiancé…

Doctor: Okay, I understand…. Anyway, Nolly you’ll have to excuse us….. We want to have a man to man talk….

Nolly: Okay….for how long? Anyway, I’ll be outside.

As the doctor heard the door close…..

Doctor: Jide, there’s a problem…. And more so, you’ve not paid for the burial of the baby? But that’s not the case now….

Me: Okay sir…. I’ll pay that before leaving here…

Doctor: Jide……

Me: Yes sir…. *as my heart started pounding* I was making very wild guesses about what was to happen….

Doctor: You see, there’s something about Shola….

Me: Okay….

Doctor: You see, we found out that what killed the baby, wasn’t really the stress she went through…. There’s more to that…. Shola is a cancer patient… and as at now…. It is just too late for us to do anything… she has Myeloma…

Me: Sir…. I’m confused…. She has cancer? She has Myeloma? Which does she have?


Doctor: Calm down Jide… I’ll explain to you…. Myeloma is a type of cancer… it is a cancer of the plasma cells…

Me: How did she get it sir…. Quickly, I tried to get my phone to do some research on it…

Doctor: That’s not the issue now Jide…. Shola isn’t going to survive this disease…. She’s been enduring it for close to five years…. Her immune system has fought but the whole thing is sick now…. She’s a really strong woman….

I didn’t know when tears started rolling down my eyes…. I cried, the doctor tried to calm me, my eyes turned red and sore…. Somehow, I felt, if I hadn’t been in her life, she wouldn’t have had any problem…. And everything would have been okay for her….

Doctor: Jide, it’s okay….

Me: How long does she have?

Doctor: Let’s say two months…. But please, don’t mention anything to her…. It could kill her even before then.
Me: I’ve to let at least, her parents know.

Doctor: Jide, I would be talking to you later….

He escorted me outside, by this time, the reception was full.

Nolly ran to me, as she saw my hands wiping away tears from my face….

Before asking anything, she escorted me out first….

And when we got inside the car….

Me: Shola has cancer. She has two months to live….

Till we got home, Nolly didn’t mention a single world….

I had no clue of what was going through her mind….

In the last months, I was determined to give the best I could ever give…to any woman.

Although, I was to resume in two weeks…. Things had to still work out in my way.
