we walked to the reception and met a lady applying makeup, she’s in her late twenties…

mj:excuse me ma,she never heard us and continued with what she’s doing,I looked closer and discovered an earpiece was was plugged into her ears..

Chioma:excuse me ma ooo(increasing my voice a bit more)as I banged my hand on the desk..

she turned to look at us calmly,took off her earpiece, dropped her lip gloss,
.
.
Receptionist:yes how may I help you guys?…

good afternoon ma(we chorused together),

Receptionist:I said how may I help you?

mj:okay ma we came to see our friend in the hospital a guy…

Receptionist:what his name?

mj:emeka Johnson…
*
*
(she opened her register as she located the names with her fingers)

Receptionist: okay his at room 504,the 3rd room by your left 2nd floor…

mj:thank you ma(as we turned to go),but wait (she stopped us)

Receptionist:who are you guys to him anyways..(as she glanced at Adams who never said anything)
.

mj:class mates(in annoyance),we turned to leave again, not so fast(she said again)

Receptionist: one of you have to wait in the reception while two can go…

Adams:okay you guys can go lemme wait here(as he walked to the reception couch to sit)…

mj and I walked upstairs to find room 504,we looked to the left as we check the numbers, we passed room 502,503 and we saw 504…

we we’re about entering when the door opened and it was David who was his best friend..
*
*
(he looked at us in shock)…

David:how did you guys find this place?

Chioma:we asked the address from the principal,how is he doing?

David:now his asleep, but the way am looking at him,is like he will not be able to walk again ooo.
*
*
mj:what?,are you normal?, how did you know he won’t walk again?
*
*
David:I never said he won’t walk again ooo,but am just guessing based on how am seeing him,anyway I have to go now (as he jogged downstairs)

Adam's POV
.
.

i was busy with my phone where i sat as the receptionist was staring at me from the corner of her eyes…
*
*

Receptionist: ehm excuse me,i turned to look at her..

Adams:yes ma’am,pls come(she replied)..

(i looked at her for a second before standing up and walked to her desk)

Adams: am here,is anything the problem?

Receptionist: pls I want you to help me so we can carry a huge carton of soap from the store ,I can’t lift it alone can we go bring it here?

Adams: well,okay but we have to be fast before my friends come out…

Receptionist: thank you(as she quickly got up,came out from her desk…

she lead the way as I followed her,I quickly tucked my phone back inside my pocket, folded my uniform from my wrist up to my elbow,we kept walking down the white tiled floor as our feet made squeaky sounds in the hall…
*
*
David got to the reception and found it empty….
*
*
David:where this babe go na?,when I wan toast am like this..(as he walked out)
*
*
she stopped at a particular door that the word STORE was written on it in bold letters…

Receptionist:here is the place,as we entered together, the room was divided into two which has a door in between them…

Receptionist: okay it in the other room,take this rag and help me dust two carton lemme quickly arrange this things here(as she handed me an old clothe),I collected it and entered the other door and saw lot of cartons of soaps,this aunty want to make me stain my uniform before I get home, I took of my uniform, folded it well and stuck it in my bag left with the white T-shirt I wore underneath..

I dropped my bag in a corner,I tried to lift up the carton but it was too heavy to lift so I dragged two cartons down,after dusting it very clean…

Adams:ma’am pls am done Dustin them,let carry them now,AM COMING(came her voice from the other room),I bent down as I tried to lift it myself but it requires assistance from another person,the door suddenly opens but I kept trying how to lift,I became surprised why she haven’t joined her hands to assist me yet…

Adams: pls help me na…(as I stood up and turned back to face her),I opened my mouth and eyes wide on what I saw…

CHIOMA'S POV

we entered the room and saw,emeka laying helplessly on the bed,he was supported with oxygen on his nose as the machine was making a blink sound, he had bandage on his left hand and on his right leg,then Maryjane finally broke down into tears…

I held her to console her.. .

mj:what if what David said was true,what if he never walks again..

Chioma: mj we haven’t confirmed from the doctor yet, he was just guessing…

(then the door opened as a man wearing white coat walked in)….

Good afternoon sir(we said together)

Doctor: good afternoon ladies, you must be his friends right?
yes sir(we replied)

mj:sir is it true he won’t walk again?

Doctor: (he laughed) where did you hear that from?, nah that not true,he will walk again, he just had a little fracture on his leg,so he will be admitted in this hospital for some days until we discharge him…

mj:ha,thank God…

doctor: now if you girls will excuse me, I have some injections and drugs I need to give him…

(we turned to leave when I suddenly remembered the HIV test I need to do)…

Chioma: ehm pls doctor, do you know where they conduct HIV test?

he looked at both of us oddly for a second…

Doctor:just go down the hall and turn to the last room by your right(as he plugged his stethoscope into his eyes to check emeka’s chest)…
.
.
we walked out of the door and walked quickly to the door,I remembered my mum said she will be coming home late but I don’t know the exact time she will be coming home so I have to hurry fast and get out of here…
.
.
I knocked on a door that says HIV ward, we could hear voices inside that look like somebody crying,we knocked again(no response), so I opened it and we went in together…

we saw a man on white coat wearing an hand glove as he was trying to console a man that was rolling on the floor crying his eyes out…

hey God na so my life don end because of oyinye ooo(the man said in tears),and she no tell me say she get HIV now i don contact am ooo…

IT OKAY SIR(the man on coat consoled him),like I said it not the end of the world, as long as you’re taking your drugs well you can live as normal human beings…

after minutes of trying to console him,he finally stopped nagging as he got up,picked up his result and walked out of the door,don’t forget to come here every three months for counselling (the man yelled after him),mj and I never sat down as we stood and watched the whole drama that just happened….

I felt my heart racing because of what I just saw with my own eyes..
*
*
SIT DOWN (the man said calmly)
we sat down together…

My name is Miracle,so how may I help you?(the man asked)

Chioma:s..sir I came for an HIV test…

Miracle:don’t be scared of coming here to do a test,coming here to do an HIV test doesn’t mean you have the virus,because they are millions of people in the world right now that have the virus in their body but they don’t know but you made a bold step to come here,now before I proceed with the test, what does HIV mean?
*
*
oh God let this man do this test for me quick and stop asking stupid questions(I said in thought).,

Miracle:did you understand what I said?

Chioma:oh yes sorry it means human immune deficiency virus…

miracle: and what about aids?
*
*
this man is beginning to make me scared, I shouldn’t have come here in the first place….

mj kicked my leg from under the table…

Chioma:sorry it means acquired immune deficiency syndrome….

Miracle:good,there are various ways HIV can be passed, either by sexual contact or sharp object like blade clippers, the only way you can have it sexually is when you have unprotected sex that is sex without condom…

anybody who has HIV and refused to takecare of his or herself,it can advance to AIDS which is the last stage that can lead to death…

Chioma:sir pls c..can we just go on with the test and save the lecture for later?

Miracle:okay(as he brought out a brand new little needle from a pack),give me your thumb..

I stretched my thumb to him as he poked it a little,a little of my blood flowed into the needle,I felt my heart panting very fast,I’ve never been this tensed in my entire life,even in the AC, i felt sweat dripping my face..
mj saw my reaction and quickly held on to my hand,it will alright (she whispered to me)…
*
*
*
*
*
miracle:okay I have your result here with me..(as he wrote down some things on a paper)
.
.

Chioma:really? (as I stood up)…

Adam's POV

ma’am what are you doing?(as I stare at a complete naked human lady from her head down to her toes,no bra no undies…

Receptionist: I watched you from the reception and came to realize that your must be really good in satisfying a lady in bed,so I want you to satisfy me now(as she massaged her boobs)…

Adams: I can’t believe you tricked me here just to sleep with me(I picked up my bag and turn to leave), come back her(she yelled)as she pulled my shoulder and threw me to the ground…

immediately she climbed on top of me as her boobs pressed my chest, I felt a certain way as she started rubbing it up and down my chest,F--K ME HARDER(she moaned)
