CHIOMA THE VILLAGE GIRL
EPISODE 46
“Where have you been all day?” Oge asked as soon as she saw Stanley entered her office.
“am so sorry dear, I have been busy all day”
“you smell clinical….”
“oh yea, I just returned from a hospital, my love sit we have to discuss something”
Oge looked at him suspiciously for some seconds before sitting down. Oge was a high ranked DSS agent and she owns an office. Stanley was also a DSS agent but not up to the level of Oge, they both fell in love and planned to get married. Their wedding will hold in two weeks time.
“Chief Kali alerted me by 2pm last night when armed robbers invaded his house, I quickly left for his house without any back up but on my way I met a helpless body on the middle of the road, and the person cried for help. I had pity on her because she probably must have been attacked by robbers so I took her to the hospital. I made a deposit of hundred and twenty thousand but after some X-ray were conducted the doctor said her spinal cord was damaged and she needs 500thousand to survive” Stanley said slowly.
“So what’s my business, anyway I have good news for you, the aso ebi is out and we need nothing less than 250 thousand to clear them though I had deposited a hundred thousand so I need the balance”
“oh my God oge this is not what am talking about now, I mean I need 500k to prevent her from dying in less than 24 hours”
“so what do you want me to do? You were the one forming good Samaritan, find the money yourself not after giving me the remaining 150k and 500k for the food preparations”
“oh oge am not in the mood, am figuring out a way for me to raise 500 thousand for the dying patient and you are calling huge amount of money that I barely have for wedding. Infact I don’t have money so do the preparations yourself”
”Stanley!!!! You want to ruin my wedding right?” Oge shouted and gave Stanley a dirty slap.
“you slapped me?”
“yes and I will do it again and again until you come back to your senses” Oge shouted.
“fine wed yourself am not interested again” Stanley said and left her office
“oh my God Stanley called off the wedding because of a silly dead thing in the name of helping…oh!! Stanley you will regret this and for that silly, you have caused me my wedding I think it’s time for you to die”
—————————————–
Oge quickly took the line phone on her table and called one of the boys working for her…
“kachi come to my office immediately don’t waste a micro second” she said dropping the phone.
Kachi showed up in less than two minutes….
“am here ma”
“did you see Stanley??”
“Yea, he just drove out some seconds ago”
“fine, I want you to take one of the cars and follow him wherever he goes then call me and give me updates. Now get out” she instructed….
Stanley was filled with anger as he drove carelessly on the road. All that was running in his mind was how to get the money and that is just for a start meaning he would still have to bring more money as the treatment proceeds. He parked by the road side and brought out his phone to make some estimates .
Some minutes after estimating his total account, it was possible for him to squeeze out 500k…
“I pray God multiplies me, am just trying to help” he muttered and ignited his engine. He drove straight to first bank and withdrew the money and headed for the hospital…
*************************
“Kachi what’s the progress” Oge asked from the phone
“he just entered a hospital now after leaving the bank”
“a hospital??”
“exactly ma”
“what’s the name of the hospital”
” ermmm eastern care hospital according to what am seeing in the sign board”
“OK… You can leave him, get back to your unit”
“OK ma” kachi said and ended the call as he woke the engine of the camry spider he was in.

“you are a good man”
“thank you doctor” Stanley said smiling
“she is under treatment now, which will last for three days then we would see howfar it has worked on her”
“OK doctor…. But she will soon be alright?? ”
“sure, she will be fully OK.. Just pray for her..
“OK. I will be on my way now but will be back in the evening”
“you have no problem”
