Say Hi To Aliya - S01 E08

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

No one had any idea about the whereabouts of his phone.

Smith, who has lost a lot of energy from last night to this moment, couldn‘t create a scene like he usually does.

Finally, Tonia was discharged and the beautiful nurse in charge helped her through the long corridor, while Smith was following slowly from behind with his head low.

They headed towards Smith‘s car parked in a corner behind the large hospital, close to an ambulance. The hospital seem like it is always busy at anytime of the day, you could see people going to and fro, as nurses rush to help the ones they could.

‘Please, remember to get her drugs and take care of her. Make sure she doesn’t experience any form of shock or surprise for now. Sir, you can also register her for antenatal care here, if she hasn‘t done that yet.’ The nurse said in a friendly way.

Smith who was too exhausted just nodded, and opened the car door for Tonia.

She looked pale and weak. She couldn‘t say a word to him when he asked her how she was feeling. Maybe she cannot possibly relate her feelings to him. She kept cleaning the tears trying to leave her eyes, but poor Smith didn’t even notice.

He branched to a pharmacy to get the drugs written by the doctor.

On getting home, Sam had already boiled hot water for tea, fried some eggs and arranged the table for breakfast.

Tonia was still mute. He walked her up the stairs gradually, as silence accompanied them.

‘Take a shower, and let me go bring your breakfast to the room, you need to take your drugs.’

He said calmly as he made her sit on the bed, while a dropped the drugs on the table.

‘I don’t want to‘ she said bursting into tears that she has been holding back.

‘C’mon…‘ he sat close to her to pet her, putting her head on his chest; and an unrepentant smell oozed from his body. He has been sweating a lot since last night.

Tonia ignored the smell and laid her head on the chest.

‘You know I want you to get well.’ He cleaned the tears gushing out from her eyes.‘

Eventually, she found rest on his chest. He cuddled her some more and twist the ponytail‘s tail with his fingers. At intervals, he’ll use his hands to check her temperature. Slowly, Tonia began to fall asleep on his body.

‘Sweetheart, you need to freshen up and eat something before you sleep off.’ He woke her with those words.

She nodded without saying a word. He gave her a towel, and excused himself from the room, assuring her that she could count on him if she needs anything.

After Tonia had her bath, she changed into a free, long flora gown. She was reluctant to comb her hair, and she left her face bare, without applying anything to it except her cream.

‘You didn’t comb your hair‘ Smith noticed.

She didn‘t say a word, but kept looking at the dressing mirror in front of the dressing stool where she has been sitting.

He picked a large comb from the dressing table, and began to comb her hair, at intervals she‘ll give a face and try to withdraw her head from the grip of the comb. Eventually, she began to laugh.

After combing her hair neatly, he gave it a neat packing.

He began to play with the hair.

He gave her a mild touch on her right ear, and she gave a reaction by closing her eyes a bit, perhaps thinking about all the romantic moments she had with him. As she roll the yummy thoughts in her mind, trying to amplify the positive emotion that she feels. Releasing his hands gradually from her ears, he tickled her a bit and she laughed joyfully.

‘You stink, go get a shower’ she told him, playfully pushing him away from her.

‘Come and bath me’ he said giving a baby face.

She laughed at the face and said

‘Alright let’s go.‘

‘After you.’ He said showing the way to the bathroom.

‘No, after you.’ She said smiling generously.

‘As my lady pleases.’

He limped to the bathroom door, and she walked behind him. When he entered the bathroom, she locked him in it and laughed hard for making him fall into her trick.

‘Scammer!’ he said from the bathroom.

‘Whatever. You aren’t getting out until I‘m very sure you have washed all those stinks away.

No doubt, Smith has managed to revive her spirit. She laughed as she returned to the bed.

Just then, Dammy sent her a text, telling her that she took Smith‘s phone from the hospital. Telling her to keep calm and act normal, until she is able to get someone to unlock the phone.

Again, she should try to distract him from tracking it for now; she will return it as soon as they get sufficient information from the phone.

Dammy took the phone from Smith with the help of the nurse that was in charge of Tonia, when he was fast asleep.

Tonia had mixed feelings. Happy that Dammy could be that smart, but sad because she can‘t even begin to imagine what they will discover from that phone.

‘Scammer! I’m done with the bathing, come and open the door‘ he said with a high tuned voice, from the bathroom.

‘Let me be the judge of that. Say please…’ she said playfully

‘Pleasesss…’ poor Smith pleaded.

He grabbed her as soon as she unlocked the door, and and tickled her, she filled the whole room with chortles from the pleasure.

Sam knocked at the door to bring their breakfast to their room. She collected it from him and thanked him.

Smith changed to a yellow T-shirt and a jean. He stood by the mirror and combed his afro hair.

They had breakfast together with so much happiness, with Tonia trying her possible best to be at her best behavior.

‘You will be fine.’ Smith assures her, after she flushed some couple of drugs down to her stomach.

She made a face rather than thanking him.

‘I want to go get my phone tracked now’. He said, picking his car keys and the two other phone he left at home, when he took Tonia to the hospital.

‘That can wait sweetheart, I need you here, please don’t leave, we can always get a new phone.‘ She said in a charming voice, holding his hands.

‘Babe, the phone contains a lot. I can’t let it go just like that.‘ He tried making her understand, as he leaves the room.

Tonia thought of what she could do to stop him, as she walked behind him on the stairs. She acted like she missed a step and gave a loud scream.

‘My leg!’

It drew Smiths attention and made him stop.

‘This woman! I told you to rest, look at what you have done to yourself again.’ He said bending to check the leg she was holding, pretending to be in great pain.

He helped back to the room and laid her on the bed.

‘Stay here; let me go get a balm.’ He told her.

After a while, she saw the gateman opening the gate for Smith. She got confused. He is surely going to track that phone.

She picked the phone to call Dammy, but she noticed his car stopped, and he came down from his car, looking at something she couldn‘t understand, so she decided to go and have a look.

Lo and behold, Aliya‘s dead body lying on the ground, in the pool of her own blood.

Smith zoomed his eye to the last core, Tonia fainted; the doctor had warned that she shouldn‘t be shocked or surprised in any way. The gate man screamed.

‘Who… did… this?’ Smith Asked in a feeble voice.
