AWKWARD NURSE
By Chidinma Jerry M
(Star-queen)?
Season 2 (Episode 9)
I couldn’t get angry because she slapped me more out of pain than anger and I knew I wronged her. I shed tears like a kid
” Anna please, I can explain.
” when did this affair start huh? How long have you been seeing Ryan!? She shouted at me.
“Anna I’m sorry, I’m really sorry
“Clara! Is this the price I should pay for my life that you saved? Is Ryan the price?
” no Anna, I didn’t know when I fell in love with sir Ryan
” Clara i loved you , I accepted you..
I trusted you..and what? You were sleeping with my fiance.
“Anna wait … Anna please
” Clara if you wanted Ryan you shouldn’t have saved me because you will only have Ryan when I die.
I wiped my tears and started crying out loud.
” Anna please …. don’t punish me forgive me I never liked someone before I let my emotions control me..
I am really sorry. She wiped her tears and rushed into their room, I wiped my tears. Her engagement ring wounded my face. Now I realized the gravity of what I did. I cried more and more. I love Ryan so much. How will I survive this? I cried more
Anna’s p.o.v
Why did I slap Clara? I pressed my hands together and sat on the bed. Anastasia when will you learn to control your temper? Clara why you? It should have been someone else. I don’t want to cause you pain Clara. I beg of you don’t let me hate you …you can’t become my enemy. Why did it have to be Ryan? How many women will hurt me because of Ryan? I just pray it was a passing affair, I pray Ryan didn’t see her as anything if not I don’t know what I will do to Clara. I might not control myself. I looked down into her room and she sat on the floor crying. I shed tears too.
??????
Clara won’t come out of her room, she won’t even eat. Just then Ryan walked in. The first place he looked at, was her room door. Yes I understand now. He walked in I couldn’t talk to Ryan I just shed tears while looking at him. He dropped the bag and wiped my tears as I kept crying more
” Anna what’s wrong? Did you get hurt? Do you feel sick?
” Ryan you are my pain…why? I said
He let go of me and looked around for a while .
” Ryan why … why did you do it? Did you want to pay me back for Tony?
” Anna it is over. Let it go. It is not what you think.
“Ryan tell me it was just a passing affair, tell me you were just attracted to her as a woman, tell me she’s nothing to you.
” Anna that’s not important anymore
” Ryan who is Clara to you?
” Anna stop. It is over. I already broke up with Clara I chose you alright
” but that doesn’t answer my question. Do you love Clara? Or was it just desire?.
He tried walking out but I dragged him back.
” Ryan talk to me
” Fine!!! I love Clara.
my heartbeat sank
” do you get it now? It was not a passing affair. i wanted to break up with you but you strengthened the merger .. you ruined it all.
” no Ryan, you love me and I love you too… I still love you…
” and you will have me Anna. Do i have a choice? I am tied to you. I am yours ok… we are married .
“Ryan why are you hurting me? Why are you making me feel guilty? I strengthened the merger for us I didn’t know Clara was….
” Anna wait , Clara did not do anything wrong. I didn’t mean to love her.. I tried stopping this feelings but it didn’t work.
” i am glad you were smart enough to dump Clara….I can’t ruin my father’s company and my father’s investment and reputation because of you… you have to accept that we are tied together , we will rekindle our love after the wedding
” there is nothing to rekindle Anna,
i don’t love you anymore.. this marriage will ruin us both of us. We are going to live as one yes but I really wonder what it will be like… ” he rushed out.
Ryan’s pov
Anna found out. I hope she didn’t hurt Clara. Two people i want to protect her from are Anna and my dad Daniella is a small issue compared to what Anna can do when she is raged. I opened her door. She just dropped her cup which she used to take a drug. I took her into my arms
” Clara are you ok? Did Anna hurt you? Did she abuse you? Talk to me huh .. please say something…I moved her body while questioning her but she didn’t talk. She just shed tears, she just kept crying. that was when I saw the blood on her face
” Anna slapped you?
“no she didn’t
“Anastasia slapped you. Is she drunk?
I stormed out of the room and ran up to my room.
Anna’s pov
Ryan stormed in looking very upset. I dropped the glass of water I wanted to drink on the table .
” Anna how dare you?
” what?
“how dare you slap Clara?
” because she is a slu…
he picked the glass of water and threw it to my face. Yes! I am used to that. That is his habit when he doesn’t want me to say something. He broke the glass on the floor
” what did you say Anna? Who is a slut? Anna what did Clara do wrong? Tell me what did she do? This is a fucking free world, lovers meet and break up ,people fall in love again. i love Clara and she loves me too ,i loved you but I no longer do. Same way you loved Tony before moving into my house. but when you arrived you fell deeply for me too … it’s a normal occurrence Anna ,it happened to you with me and now it’s happening to me with Clara . I love her and It is not a crime, you said so yourself when I told you to break up with Tony first to avoid issues you said you have the right to love and love again.it was a mistake you committed too in the past ,loving me and not caring who you were hurting. it is not my fault I repeated the same thing by falling for Clara but I tried my best not to hurt you. so what did you say Clara did?
” Ryan she ….
“Ryan she what? You are acting as though you are so right but you are worse ,how dare you take judgement into your hands? Anna are you chaste? Should i refresh your memory?
” Ryan.
” Anna what did Clara do that you hadn’t done? You were dating Tony when you came to my house ,just like I was dating you when Clara came.
Anna you fell in love with me then even when you had Tony and I loved you too you said you couldn’t break up with Tony over the phone , but Tony was just few miles away.you said you needed time I agreed and i waited for you… but Anna you couldn’t control your own desires you wanted sex so badly I told you to break up with Tony first and wait for me to meet Ella but you couldn’t you kept luring and seducing me into your arms until we finally consummated you didn’t care if there was a Tony or even a Daniella because you were in love or am i lying?
” Ryan
” wait , how dare you judge Clara? Isn’t she a girl too ,doesn’t blood run through her veins? Doesn’t she have desires too? Anna I am living in the same house with her just like I lived with you , and you couldn’t control yourself,you didn’t care about the other party.. you just wanted me to yourself so why blaming Clara if she is doing exactly what you did? Anna if you couldn’t control your desires what makes you think she can?
” Ryan
” but should I shock you , Clara has self respect , you didn’t even hear her part of the story you resulted to slapping her. Anna I never had sex with Clara. We were waiting for you… she didn’t do what you did to Tony ,she didn’t try seducing me into her arms rather she tried her best to control her desires even when she is so naive and it is her first time in love she still tried controlling herself in the little way she could Anna . I had desires too. Is she not a woman? Is she not pretty? We are home alone for God’s sake. Fun should be ours making love from the kitchen to the pool, I had desires to hold the woman that I love but I held them in because I respect you Anna. ,i did something you know you can never do. (controlling your desires)
I broke up with Clara to make you happy, I made love to you to make you happy since we are married, i just hurt her badly for you ,for the company ,for our families so why did you have to hit her? Why adding to her pain.
it is not her fault that I love her okay .
Anna you cheated on both me and Tony but nobody hit you . I know Daniella didn’t tell you she was dating me but after the merger you found out.when we lived together you knew.but, i was the one who told you to wait so I can break up with Ella first and you promised to break up with Tony which you never did so who are you to even judge Clara? Anna she has more control over herself than you ever did
” Ryan why are you saying all this? It hurts
‘ Anna i just want you to remember what Clara is going through because you went through it too. hers is worse because she is too naive she is new to all this. you were exposed Anna you met and dated guys still you couldn’t control yourself but Clara even with the way she is ,she still tried ,she really tried for you … I can’t believe you didn’t see that .I was the one that asked her out Anna she kept her feelings to herself for a long time,she didn’t make advances,she knows she is hot but she didn’t try seducing me , she kept keeping everything in her heart and that is pain , I was the one who lured her into all this It is all my fault why didn’t hou slap me instead
” Ryan
” it’s not our fault that we fell in love Anna just like it wasn’t your fault you fell for me. the same way you decided to leave Tony is the Same way I decided to leave you Anna . but you formalized our union and drew me back to yourself . but today because of what you did i will not marry you, buy a pen and write it down… we are done ,I will find a way to end this marriage for good ..I just need time.
” Ryan please ,i was foolish in the past but …
” don’t you see, everything is repeating the universe is against our union.you are not meant for me . just when you woke from coma and we were supposed to get married Clara came into the picture and everything is repeating itself the same way it happened in the past, Anna i am not made for you. now that I even think about it I wonder if you loved me or you loved the sex because all you thought about was sex. every minute , every time. that was practically all you wanted . if you really loved me why didn’t you break up with Tony he was not far he was just few drives away but you kept postponing it why? You love Tony. I think you fell for the sex and not for me Anna we just lived in lust,tolerance,and care.
I know this because Clara made me experience love and it is very different from what we had Anna , I love Clara so much that i see her as my god. I could have broken up with you instantly if you were in Africa I swear I wouldn’t have delayed it one minute like you delayed Tony’s. that’s how you act when you love someone. i can’t marry you Anna because we don’t love each other for real we just desired each other.i and Clara are more real. withdraw your statement and think carefully of what you want ,may be you really do love Tony…
he walked out I stood up and started packing my stuff. Ryan just stabbed my heart with his words…. I didn’t know what I was doing. but why is everything repeating again? What is fate doing? Are we not meant to be together.I want to marry a man who is meant for me and I know that it is Ryan. just then my phone rang it was Tony.i got shocked . why will Tony call now of all times .i switched off my phone. I am going home ,Ryan and Clara just broke my heart.I carried my bag and ran into the living room .. my driver took my stuffs I entered my car and my driver took off.
Clara’s pov
Anna really left I hope Ryan didn’t fight with her , just then I heard Ryan knock.
” Clara please open the door. Let’s talk about it please.
“no sir Ryan leave me alone
” Clara I am so sorry ,i am sorry Clara please
I forced myself to sleep…,early the next morning I opened my door and sir Ryan sat there. Did he stay here all night?
” Clara Please Clara don’t do this
I tried walking past him he dragged me back.
” what do you want from me Ryan? What are you doing to me?
“Clara I still love you..am sorry
” so what ,what do you take me for,Anna comes and you dump me Anna leaves and you expect me to crawl back into your arms
” Clara i love you
” so what should I do Ryan .. you are married to Anna , am I not too young to be someone’s mistress
“Clara Please ,I don’t love Anna anymore, getting married to Anna is not happening
” Ryan I regret loving you ,it is too painful just let me go now ,I am going to try living without you stop causing me more pain…
” Clara what about me,I still love you very much…. i can’t do without you
” Ryan let me be please,it’s already hopeless just let me pick up my pieces
” Clara we made promises
I walked past him hastily and he fell to the floor. I wiped my tears and rushed out I cried deeply as I leaned on the balcony
Diana’s p.o.v (2days after)
Anna has not come down from the fifth building for two days. The hospital is going crazy..she has not entered her room either. She won’t open the door for anyone. Her dad already sent for Maybelle
Maybelle just arrived she rushed upstairs in a heavy heat
Maybelle’s pov
I knocked for a while without talking, I’m late for a couple’s counseling session right now…yes am a marriage counselor but Anna’s love life I have never been able to understand
” go away May”. she said..is she crying?
“Anna it is me,let’s talk about it.
” fine.
she opened the door and she still wore the same cloth… she didn’t bath,she didn’t eat.she emptied 3 bottles of wine and smashed them all over the office… whoever made Anna do this will experience her wrath very soon
” Anna why
” I was fasting May, I was asking God for forgiveness because of the sin I am going to commit
” Anna!
” a girl saved my life ” she smiled and sighed ” but I am going to ruin her life.
i am asking for forgiveness now before my wrath starts.
“Anna what happened?
” Ryan cheated on me with Clara it’s not just a passing affair ,now i understand the pain i put Tony through back then.fate must be giving me a taste of my own medicine
” Anna calm down it is just attraction
” he loves her May he said getting married to me is hell… he said he doesn’t love me anymore and it is all because of Clara. She smashed the other bottle.
” Anna calm down
” Am calm May…I am just hurting I feel pain … Ryan failed me but I can’t fail my dad I need to secure Ryan before his love for Clara control him
” what do you mean?
“I stupidly strengthened the merger,
if Ryan breaks up the marriage you know what will happen ..May everything my dad owns is under my care I must protect them and the only way to do that is to ensure that Ryan doesn’t break off this marriage and that he weds me peacefully because. All investors are watching
” Anna how will you achieve that,why don’t you withdraw your statement
“I want to ,i really do,do you think I don’t want to .she flung the files on her table to me
” look at that,that’s the cost of activities which took place within these days…I have been going through those files all morning there is no way out.it’s too late to withdraw my statement. so now I have to fulfil my duty as the heir of Grande that is protecting my Dad’s investments ,I need to take Clara away from him love intoxicates … if I leave him with Clara their love will overpower his reasoning and he might make a decision that will ruin my dad forever but if Clara goes far away Ryan will have no reason to make such a decision.
” one question Anna ,what are you really fighting for ,your heart or your father’s company?
” don’t ask me that may
” Anna remember you never loved Ryan even when you were sent to his house you still loved Tony… when we gisted all you talked about was the sex like it was the only thing you loved about him.at first said you were not sure of love but you were sure of the sweet orgasms
“May i was just a kid ,i was 21 for crying out loud and you know i wasn’t the guy type i was the” follow daddy to work type ” I never took my past dates serious until i met Tony. He was just the sweetness i let him deflower me but you can’t blame me for not controlling my desires , nobody should blame me cos I just lost my virginity and I was sent to Ryan almost instantly the desires were coming you know how it is at first.and when I started loving Ryan i desired him every day but he was just too hard to convince he wanted me to leave Tony first … seducing him was difficult for me
” why didnt you leave Tony
“I dont know
” I know Anna , Ryan finally made love to you right? He became the second man you had been with so you experienced something different… and maybe better. something you didn’t want to lose… but you couldn’t break up with Tony because something in you still needed him and that was your heart but when it comes to Ryan something in you needed him and that was your body not your heart Anna … even when we gisted as friends I remember your words vividly when it comes to Tony.,i love his goals , he sings stupidly but I like it , he loves red, he loves braiding,here is what Tony drew . so real but when it came to Ryan you were more like,oh God May Ryan makes me psychotic in bed , Ryan makes me dream of sex even at work,you need to see the way Ryan holds me ,i swear Ryan is diffrent in bed .. sex in the shower was fun.. all this didn’t start when you cared for Ryan as a friend so much that he fell for you. All this began after you cheated on Tony…this possessiveness started after you both consummated.. that’s not how love works
” it’s true but that’s in the past I know I love Ryan now
” I won’t sit much but Anna I know you are too busy to think about yourself but I wish you will take a day out ,bring both men into your mind ,erase the sex and the romance then check to see the person whose picture will still appear.I am sure that it won’t be Ryan.
” i have a meeting May.
just then her assistant walked in.
” madam they are ready
” ok.
Anna stood up and drank her last cup.
” I will shower in my room
” ok.
she rushed out.
Anna I wish you would just realize that Ryan is not meant for you.and let him be happy…he tried for you quenching your unending desires and still teaching you self control he moulded you into this beautiful graced woman you are ..you are the cause of most problems he had with his dad because he didn’t go on any long vacations or long trips with him so you won’t feel lonely and cheat or go to Tony but after all that the little opportunity you got you still cheated because you love Tony and that day when you saw him after long you just wanted him because you missed him I wish you can realize this truth Anna so finally you and Ryan can come together and find away to separate the marriage without breaking off the merger .. but I’m really scared because transfers are getting much but I know you can face the storm as friends with understanding you and Ryan might save your love and your inveztments too but it’s all in your hands Anna.
Anna’s p.o.v hours later
No one has the right to make Anna feel like trash, i will not be made a laughing stock and my dad won’t be laughed at I won’t let Ryan break off this marriage it is my duty to protect everything under me .it doesn’t matter who I love now my dad’s name can’t go down. I tried walking out when Tony called again
” hey
” did this patient forget the doctor
I smiled
” the doctor forgot the patient
” how are you Anna ,i called Samuel but he was sounding drunk
” I am fine what about you
” am good,uhmm is Ryan back so he can take you home
” I dont think I belong in that home anymore Tony.
” Anna what’s wrong
” Tony am sorry for everything I did in the past.
he laughed
” come on Anna forget that.. You sound dull did you eat .
” yes
” you are fine Anna right
“yes I am
“ok
” i wil be in a meeting
” ok.
I arrived at the meeting and everyone sat down
” good morning madam “, director said
” thanks
” good morning madam”, matron Linda said
” thanks .
” why is the meeting held ma”, md asked
” Nurss Clara David .from now will be stripped of her duty as a nurse in A.G.H.C which means Clara David can no longer stay with Ryan as a hand nurse. she has to come home within 36 hours latest. If not her both parents will be locked up.
” but madam if you fire her she has every right to stay anywhere she wants.
” what happens when A.G.H.C summons a worker and he or she doesn’t show up
” well members of the family is locked up but that is if the worker commited a crime..
” the crime she commited is in my heart so summon Clara and when she returns I will do the rest.make sure she returns
“yes madam I will use the seal and the mandate
” once she returns she must be fired. Clara should not be found or seen in A.G.H.C ever again….
” yes madam.
” ensure that no other hospital in this area will employ Clara
” ok madam
” Clara’s mother
“yes madam
“fire her and also mark her so no other hospital can ever employ her in this area
” yes madam
” no renumeration
” yes madam
” now the lane where her father’s supermarket is, it belongs to me right?
” yes it is part of A.G.H.C properties
” good, it should be demolished. I said demolish no one should give him space to pack and no one should warn him.i don’t care if he dies in there
” Anna
” was I understood
” yes madam.
” where do they live, in fact I don’t care chase them out
“yes madam. we will meet the house owner….. we will start working on all this
” that’s all for now.
I stood up and rushed out I passed by some nurses who bowed to me then I rushed into my room.. I kept remembering Ryan’s words
“I don’t love you anymore Anna,getting married to you i wonder what it will be like , i angrily smashed my mirror.I already lost Ryan i can’t lose anything else because of him and Clara.
