Mike followed me into my room, sat on my bed and crossed his legs.
“isn’t it time you start leaving, it’s past six already?” i asked coldly, while he shrugged and yawned.
“i see you are all out to provoke me today, but why cyndii, why?” he asked with a mild tone,

“because you have been provoking me lately and i’m equally not in the right frame of mind this moment. Dad had an accident and he is helplessly lying at st Mary’s hospital, so please let me be” i lamented and robbed my eyes. He gasped, jumped up and held me, lines of shock and surprise appeared on his face as he stared down at me. He appeared genuinely touched.
“why didn’t you call to inform me earlier, i’m now part of your family you know?” he murmured as he held me. I broke free from him, and stared at him with a coloured face.
“how do you expect me to call you, when it’s obvious you are still having a good time with your baby mama?” i accused. He swallowed hard and frowned slightly,
“i know you aren’t thinking properly right now, i better leave so that you can freshen up, sleep and get yourself back. Good night dearie” he said to me, planted a kiss on my forehead and left without another word.
I really was unable to sleep that night, i kept tossing on my bed as i thought of my life, my family and my relationship with Mike, everything seemed to be in disarray, i couldn’t believe my life was crumbling,
“GOD why why why?” i kept asking.
Early the next day, i headed back to the hospital with a flask of hot water and porridge yam which i specially prepared on mum’s request.
My heart flew, when i got to the ward and saw Mike seriously chatting with mum and dad. He never told me he was coming, which really caused the shock and surprise i felt as i saw him. However dad was in lively spirit, so was mum, leaving me with no choice than to relax. I walked up to them, greeting polietly as i dropped my load on the floor.

“how was your night?” my parents asked. I shrugged and smiled,
“i couldn’t sleep because i was worried” i replied as i gave Mike a strange glance, which made him shift uncomfortably. My phone rang soon after, breaking my attention as i reached for it.

“hello Benjamin” i greeted as i answered the call. A slight frown appeared on Mike’s face as soon as he heard me call Benjamin’s name.

“mum told me your dad was involved in an accident, i tried calling you last night but couldn’t get you. How is he?” he asked,
“oh he’s getting better, though we are still at the hospital. St Mary’s along the school road” i replied,

“my mum and i are coming over right away” he replied, surprising me,
“oh no you guys shouldn’t bother” i murmured,

“we are coming ooo” he replied and hung up while Mike silently stared at me. We said nothing to each other even though we had alot to say. My parents however never noticed the tension between us and i was glad they didn’t.

11:30am, Amara walked into the ward with Chike by her side, i was extremely surprised to see both of them, especially Chike because i knew he came for my sake. I was nervous as i watched them draw closer, while Mike and my mother exchanged glances. My heart pounded furiously as i equally remembered that Benjamin and his mum were also on their way to the hospital.
“oh no!” i gasped.
