Two guys from the restaurant came and help me to Anabell’s car.the white shirt that i wore instantly turn to red because of the much blood that was oozing out from the wound.the pain was much.all i could do was to m0an in pain.

Anabell drove as fast as she could to a near by chemist for the treatment.dear is okay .you will be fine.i’m taking you to a near by chemist were they will help us a treat the would.i pray the wound won’t be deep.she said to meshe help me inside the chemist.
Immediately we got inside.without wasting much time.she explain what happened to me.to the person.they started the treatment.

I was just enduring the pain all alone.Anabell was giving me the eyes of.i’m sorry..45 minutes later.they were done with the treatment.

Sister are you through with the treatment.(Anabell asked the young lady.that attended to me).

LADY.yes. i’m almost through.thank God that the wound wasn’t that deep.as i thought earlier.other wise it would had been worst.

She gave me some medication and instructed me on how to use it.

How much is your money.i asked for the first time since i came in.

3.500.she replied.

I was only holding 3.000 naira.so i wanted to give her the money.when Anabell brought out 4.000 naira from her purse and gave the lady.she asked her to keep the change (for her mind.big girl things).

She lead me inside the car again.and we zoomed off again.silently.

After a long silent more than 20 minutes.she stopped the car away from the main road.
