Ginika - S01 E04

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

She passed out immediately.

Ginika couldn’t cry, her mind yelled into her conscience.

“You killed your brother, you killed him!”.

“Ginika! Ginika!!” Aina’s voice tapped her back to consciousness.

“Come out of the cab, we are at the hospital gate.” she said.

She alighted and followed Aina.

They looked confused because they didn’t have any clue of where to head.

“Let’s go to the accident or emergency unit since it’s an accident.” Ginika suggested.

They looked for the hospital map and searched for the emergency unit. They got it and headed down there.

It wasn’t a nice view for Ginika, seeing blood everywhere gave her anxiety attacks but she kept moving.

On a part of the unit were people crying while moving their dead to the vehicle, while some seemed to be praying for the survival of theirs.

Noise from victims feeling pain strings out from every corner of the unit.

The ladies got confused.

“Who are we to ask now?” Aina asked.

They wandered around hoping to get information of the accident from someone but no one seemed to be fit to give them the answers to what they wanted.

“Let’s go into one of the offices and ask someone now.” Ginika suggested.

Aina revolted.

” Are we not taking this too far? Shouldn’t we just leave here and go back? I don’t have a mind for all of these Ginika, don’t let us put ourselves in trouble, no one would know he came to visit us” she said.

Ginika stared into her eyes hoping to see an iota of human left in her but none was found.

“Aina really?, did you just say that? Well, I am glad to tell you that they will find out because your number is written all over his dialed and received calls and you could be located through that!” She exclaimed.

They argued and bothered, their opinion went to a different pole.

Ginika sighted an elderly nurse approaching them, she would be in her early 50s, she had her stethoscope around her neck and she seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere.

“Let’s ask her.” said Ginika.

“Ginika, no, wait, don’t… Oh my God!” Aina heaved a sigh of regret.

Ginika walked briskly toward the fast walking woman.

“Good evening ma, good evening ma” she greeted.

Without looking at who was greeting her, the nurse replied.

“Please I don’t attend to patients on the move, go and sit down and wait for your turn” she said promptly.

Ginika didn’t give up.

Whe walked briskly after her.

“Please ma, I just want to ask a question, I am not here for treatment” she panted in exhaustion as she ran after her.

“Okay what is it?” She quizzed.

“I heard there was a fatal accident on the road to the city this evening and we were told they were all brought in here, my friend is one of the victims…”

The nurse interrupted.

“Oh that? no one survived that accident I think, they were brought in here a few hours ago and I’m not sure anyone survived it, you can see them at the emergency unit for more information….Nurse Tola, meet me in my office” she said, left Ginika and walked away with another nurse.

Ginika got petrified.

She watched the nurses as they walked away.

Aina met her at the spot.

“I have been looking for you, what did she say? She asked.

Ginika stuttered.

” Erhmm…she said he must be in one of the wards and if I could just go around to look for him I might be lucky” she explained.

“Are you sure that is what she said?” Aina quizzed.

She turned to her and looked at her quizzically.

” What were you expecting Aina, were you expecting her to say something else?” She queried.

Aina’s expression was disappointing to her, she left her on the spot and moved away, Aina followed her.

They moved from wards to wards and he was nowhere to be found.

“There is one more place to check, the ICU, let’s go there” Ginika suggested.

“Are you nuts? Who would allow you into the ICU, see, I am tired and I can’t move an inch, I am going home” Aina exclaimed and left her on the spot.

She wanted to go to the ICU but had a rethink, it was getting late, they were famished.

She joined Aina and they boarded a bus.

It was a moment of silence between them before Aina broke it.

“Oh God, I regret letting this guy visit me, it’s the worst decision I’ve ever made” she said.

Ginika gave no response.

“Do you think he’s head? Or don’t you think he survived and has left for the city? Ginika, don’t you think so?” She quizzed.

Ginika folded her hand, a sad expression with a sweating palm.

“We must be sure he is okay which means we must look everywhere for him” she replied.

It wasn’t a good day for both of them, they got home feeling exhausted.
