Need To Speak With Her
ANNETTE packed her bags as she arranged to leave, Richard was close by, giving helping hands
Her job in the town just got completed the previous day, and as expected, they were to leave immediately
Well itâs really been a good time spent, with Richard always close by. Heâs really shown heâs a good friend and a nice one at that
âHey Richard, please help me with the clothes beside youâ, Annette said to him, she was holding onto a box as she stuffed clothes into it
Richard carefully took up the clothes and handed it to her
âHereâ, he said
âThank youâ, and she collected them, then she looked at him, âwhy you staring at me like that? What for?â, she asked blinking her eyes
Richard laughed
âYouâre such a beautiful girl you know? Sometimes I wonder when God created youâ
Annette laughed
âYou are at your flattery again Richâ
He smiled
âOf course you know Iâm notâ, he looked round the room, âthis really gonna be the first time Iâm entering this room, you really havenât allowed me entry since I began coming hereâ
She laughed
âWell thatâs becauseâŠâŠâ
âThatâs because you are decentâ, he interrupted her
Annette looked at him in surprise, and he winked
âIâve never known any girl in my life as chaste as you are, more less moreâ
âHuh?â, she made a face
âOf course. Nowâ, his face fell, âyou gonna be leaving soon, it makes me sadâ
She pulled a sad face
âAww, me too. Iâm gonna miss youâ
He looked at her, huh? Does she really meant it?
Sheâs gonna miss her? Oh my God! He felt like heâs won a lottery
âAre you serious?â, he asked
She laughed and began rowing the boxes to the door
âJoin me pleaseâ, she said and he rowed out the second box, going behind her
âDo you mind giving me your address at Abuja? Iâve been asking you sinceâ
She sighed as she opened the door
âI just donât like giving out my address to strangersâ
âBut Iâm not a strangerâ, he said almost interrupting
She halted and looked at him, he nodded
âYes, Iâm notâ, he said
Annette hit her forehead with her fingers, why was she pushing him away
He really loves her she could see it in his eyes, she shrugged
âOk, Iâll send it to youâ, they began walking to the main entrance
He smiled
âThank you. So be expecting me anytime any dayâ
She smiled
âOkay then. I think you should leave me now, Iâm not a babyâ, they laughed
âYou look like one to me. Well safe trip and get home safe for me pleaseâ, he pouted
Ohh my gee! He really looked like a baby, a beautiful baby
She couldnât help smiling
âI willâ, and they embraced
âOk dear, good byeâ
âBye thank youâ, she waved at him, rushing her words
He waited until they had all boarded the bus, and then it revved up and zoomed away
He watched helplessly as the bus drove away, like a hen watch as the hawk carries itâs chick away
But unlike the hen, he would get to see her again, he really do love her. He turned and left

Fred sat in the doctorâs office as he waited for Dr Ade to get off the phone with whoever he was talking to
Itâs been almost two hours since he got to the hospital with his wife, and he had just come to see the doctor and find out the problem
Everything was just getting complicated, since Annette left it hasnât been really fine
It was problem problem all the time
The doctor finished from the phone and faced him
âOh Mr Fred, sorry for keeping you waiting, was talking to a clientâ, he rested on the table
âNo problem doctor. So doc please, whatâs the way forward?â, he asked, looking keenly at him
Dr Ade sighed
âSo sorry. Well like I said, itâs the kidney disorder, her both kidneys none is strong enough to function wellâ
Fred felt his world crashing, what kinda problem is this?
âDoc whatâs all this? Why me?â, he cried
Dr Ade was moved
âCalm down please, Godâs in total controlâ
Fred nodded, he hoped so
âThe problem with your wifeâs really critical, sheâs on oxygen as we speak, you must have seen that right?â
He nodded, yeah he has. When he had gone into her ward to see her, ohh God, it was a pitiful condition
His Sochima, under oxygen
âShe couldnât breathe again and we had to aide her with oxygen. The problem is the kidney, we need a kidney transplantâ
His eyes widened in shock
âWhat! Kidney transplant?â, he asked, âoh God not nowâ, he placed his hands on his head
Dr Ade shook his head
âPlease Mr Fred, this is not the time to be asking God questions. We actually donât have time, we need to prepare for a kidney transplant so she could get well again else she diesâ
âDoc please donât say that again, donâtâ, he said, he was crying
Where would they get this from? Where?
âDoc what we gonna do about that? I canât fly her abroad, Iâm not buoyant enough for that so what we gonna do? Please?â
Dr Ade sighed
âSince you canât do that, you have to get someone, a relative of hers, to donate her a kidneyâ
What! A relative of hers?
His head twilred
How he gonna do that? Her parents are gone, and the only relative she hasâŠâŠâŠ
