We soon found dad in the male ward, lying helplessly on a bed, mum by his side watching over him keenly. My heart skipped as my face coloured.

“dad” i cried, rushing forward to hold him, while Amara dutifully held my left hand softly. More tears fell from my eyes as i stared at his legs which were heavily bandaged.

“stop crying dear, they are just flesh wounds, they will heal within days” dad assured me, forcing out a dry smile, but i wasn’t convinced even though i never argued about it.

“what took you so long? Isn’t your lodge just a stone throw away from here?” mum asked searchingly. I shrugged and stared at her,

“i’m very sorry mum, Amara and i really were out of town, attending a friend’s wedding” i lied effortlessly,

“hmmm, alright i don’t have your time for now, take my position and watch over your dad while i rush home to get more money and other things” she replied, standing up with a nervous smile. I hugged her,

“alright mum, please do be careful” i whispered into her ear. She nodded, held dad’s hand for some seconds before leaving me to watch over him. I offered Amara mum’s chair while i sat at the edge of dad’s bed.

Amara really was a wonderful friend, she stayed with me without complaining or leaving till mum showed up later in the evening with food and some other stuffs.

“i brought enough food for everyone” mum smiled as she dropped the huge food flask she brought on the floor. I smiled, while Amara shook her head.

“oh no don’t tell me you girls are not hungry?” she asked with a drawn face,

“oh dear, leave the girls alone, you don’t expect them to eat in this environment, do you?” dad murmured weakly, coming to our defence, and making mum to shrug in resignation.

“alright i think it’s time you girls return to your lodge and rest. I can handle him alone” she said with a smile, while i yawned. It really isn’t an easy thing watching over a loved one in hospital. However my mind calmed after discovering that dad wasn’t in any grave danger, just a little fracture, and more of flesh wound. {An accident which occured when a speeding vehicle brushed the motorcycle conveying him to the bus park, sending him and the bike man to a nearby gutter}

Amara and i returned to our lodge by 6:15pm very tired and weak. She quickly went over to her room while i rushed to mine, freezing in shock as i ran into Mike who was standing on my door-way, with hands in his trouser pocket.

“where are you coming from?, i have been here all day?” he asked with a suspicious look, annoying me with his question. I swallowed and rolled my eyes.

“oh please” i sighed, provoking him further. He bit his lips and stared at me angrily. He seemed ready for a fight which i equally was willing to give him.
