MY HEARTBEAT
****EPISODE 6****
Tiwa’s week had started out great and it had
progressively gotten better. The whole week, she did not lose any patients, she had no emergencies and 3 of her patients including Mr Salman got discharged. Even better, on Tuesday, Fiyin had asked her out again and they had gone on their third date just yesterday.
She couldn’t help the tingly feeling being with him gave her. They had gone to the mall to see a Friday night movie and she had enjoyed the way women had turned around to stare at him. She had felt ecstatic that it was her hands he was holding and even though he had been distracted during the movie, he had made it up to her afterward.
When he dropped her home, she had expected
him to kiss her goodnight but he had only kissed her fingers and drove off after making sure she was safely inside her house. She could wait though, she had been waiting unconsciously for the better part of 3 years. Somewhere inside her, she had known that it was only a matter of time before Fiyin came to the realization that she was the only woman that could ever suit him, she hadn’t allowed herself enter any serious relationships and now her waiting was finally yielding results.
******************
She entered into the locker room and changed out of her scrubs into the mufti she had come in earlier in the day. Her shift was over but she
wasn’t in a hurry to go home to her snobby
roommate who always had something to
complain about. That pompous Imelda! She
thought to herself, she couldn’t wait to get
married to Fiyin and live in a house bigger than
Imelda’s parents’.
She made her way to Fiyin’s office and passed
the snarling Ozioma without a second glance. She knocked at his door and made to open it but she realized it was locked. She turned back to see Ozioma’s red lips curled into a smile.
Tiwa: “Where is he?” She asked impatiently
Ozioma: “Me? Are you talking to me?” Ozioma
asked, her eyes happy. “Doctor Tiwa, you cannot be talking to me oh!”
Tiwa: “I’m talking to you, where is Doctor
Arowolo?” Tiwa asked, getting pissed.
Ozioma: “I don’t know, you will have to go and
ask the other secretary you usually greet when
you come here.” So saying, she looked down at
the desktop on her desk and continued typing.
Tiwa: “Better watch the way you talk to me,
Ozioma, warn yourself!”
Ozioma: “Or what?”
Tiwa: “You’re not even worth my stress!” She
concluded as she made her way out of the office angrily.
Ozioma: “Ha ha ha ha!” Ozioma laughed as she
clapped her hands together. “See how her eyes
are shining, over a man oh. Let me call Hoiza!”
She exclaimed as she picked up the phone to dial another secretary that didn’t like Tiwa.
