WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 41 – 50

EPISODE 50

When Dele opened his eyes he saw Amaka, and tried calling her, but she didn’t seem to hear him, he could tell she was happy to see him conscious, because he could see the excitement on her face, even if he couldn’t hear what she was saying, he knew she was excited.

He tried asking her to calm down, but couldn’t seem to get the words out.

She must have called the doctor, because the doctor came in, in the company of a nurse and started examining him, and asking him to blink his eyes, and do other things if he could hear him.

Now the doctor was done, and his whole family were in the room, he was glad to see them, but seeing all their faces at the same and having them stare at him as if they were expecting him to say or do something, made him dizzy, he could see Amaka’s face as he began slipping back into darkness.

“He needs to get some rest” the nurse said to the Ademola family who kept trying to get Dele to speak to them, trying to know if he remembers them or not.

“But why won’t he say anything? Why won’t he talk to us?” Mrs Ademola asked, almost at the point of tears.

“He just regained conciousness ma’am, it’s going to take sometime before he would get back to his normal self” the nurse reassured her.

“Are you sure? Don’t you think__,”

“Ronke let’s allow him to rest, no need to panic” Mr. Ademola put his arm around his wife who looked anything but convinced with her husband’s words.

The nurse led everyone out of the room.

“I don’t like this” Mrs Ademola said to her husband as they all went back to the waiting room.

“Mom, I think you need to calm down, the most important thing is that he has regained conciousness, he is definitely going to be fine” Jeffery said trying to placate his mother.

“But didn’t you see the way he was looking at us like he doesn’t know us?” Anita asked with a lot of sadness in her eyes. “He was just staring at us like we are strangers”

“And he kept blinking as if he was trying to figure out who we were” Erica added.

“All right, I think everyone needs to calm down, we have all waited and prayed for him to regain consciousness, and he has. That’s a huge leap, so we are just going to take it one step at a time and wait for him to wake up again” Michael said to all of them, and when his wife tried to say something, he silenced her with his eyes. Someone needed to stop the negativity before it gets out of hand.

“And with that said, I think everyone needs to go home” Jeffery announced.

“But we just got here, and we haven’t even spoken to him yet” Anita who looked like she could bust into tears any minute protested.

“I know, but there’s little or nothing we can do for him by being here, besides I’m very sure the nurse will call us once he wakes up”

“I’m not leaving, at least until he wakes up” Anita folded her arms like a baby who was being denied her favorite ice cream.

“Me neither, I’m not leaving until he wakes up” Erica said.

“Me too” Mrs. Ademola sat down folding her arms.

Jeffery sighed in frustration, his family was the most difficult to convince to do something once they have their mind made up on something.

“All right suit yourself”

He went to meet his wife who was seated quietly with Amaka in a corner.

“Hey ladies, are you ready to go home?”

“No I’m waiting for him to wake up” Jane said.

He didn’t even bother to ask Amaka, because he already knew what her reply was going to be.

He decided to go look for a seat to sit himself, they might all as well wait for him to wake up. “God help you when you wake up Dele” he muttered to himself.

After two hours of waiting, Jeffery and Michael drove to a restaurant close by and bought food for everyone. And they all went to the hospital cafeteria to eat.

Jeffery sat and watched as his whole family occupied half of the hospital’s cafeteria, eating and chatting amongst themselves. For a minute it didn’t seem like they were in a hospital, he silently prayed nothing ever takes away their happiness.

When they were done eating, they all went back and resumed their position at the waiting room.

“Jane my dear, how have you been?” Mrs. Ademola asked Jane who was sitting close to her.

“I’m doing very well ma” Jane answered with a hint of surprise in her voice, because they had both greeted themselves earlier when they arrived the hospital.

“Eh…. have you been feeling sick in anyway?”

Mrs Ademola smiled at Jane in a way that made her quite uncomfortable.

“No ma, I am not sick in anyway ma, or do I look sick?” Jane immediately took out her phone to look at herself in her camera.

“No no you don’t” Mrs. Ademola still had that smile on her face.

“Mom, is everything okay?”

“Don’t worry my dear”

Finally by 4pm Dele woke up and they all flooded his room again.

The nurse tried stopping them from all going in at once but to no avail.

“Dele my dear son how are you?” Mrs Ademola asked with so much concern.

“Fi.. ne” he managed to say out, he wasn’t so sure if they heard him, but with the smile on their faces, he could tell they heard him.

“Dele do you remember me?” Anita asked.

“Of course Nita why not?” he looked at her with a questioning look on his face.

“What about me?” Amaka asked.

“Babe I remember you”

“Oh my God, his memory is intact” Erica gasped.

The whole family were filled with joy, as Dele identified each and everyone of them without making any mistake.

After a while, Dele became dizzy again. This time around the nurse was firm with her resolve in asking all of them to leave him to rest.

As they all walked back to the car park, Anita pulled Amaka aside to speak with her.

“Amaka how are you?”

“I’m fine Anita”

“I just want to tell you, how truly sorry I am for the way I have been acting towards you lately” Anita apologized.

“No Anita it’s fine, I totally understand if it were to be my own brother I would have reacted the same way”

“No it’s not, you have been there for him all these while and I really want to thank you for all you have done”

“Thank you Anita, this means a lot to me”

They both hugged each other for a while before pulling apart.

“Are you going back with us?” Anita asked her

“No I’m going to stay with him tonight”

“All right thanks so much, I will call you once I get home to know how he is doing”

“All right, no problem Anita”

After Anita left, Jane came to meet Amaka.

“Don’t you think you should come with us to the house? Even if it’s just to rest for a while”

“No I will stay with him for this night, maybe tomorrow I will come by the house”

“Okay, I’ll order for some food to be brought to you once I get home”

“Thank you” Amaka hugged Jane.

Amaka went back to Dele’s room and sat down by his side.

“Have they gone?” Dele asked quietly his eyes still shot.

“I thought you were sleeping?”

“No, I just pretended to sleep so they could leave, so I could be alone with you”

“You are still very mischievous” Amaka smiled “how are you doing?”

“Every single bone in my body aches so badly” he tried sitting up, Amaka quickly stood up and gently helped him to sit up, placing a pillow on his back.

“You look pale” he observed, looking at Amaka.

“I think you should be more concerned about yourself”

“I know I look like shit, but considering the fact that I wrestled against hell, the state of my face is not out place, don’t you think”

“Yeah you are very right, you did wrestle against hell” Amaka looked teary as she remembered the day Dele stood up for her against those guys.

“Come on, don’t cry” Dele said to her.

“I was really scared I was going to lose you Dele” she cried.

“Oh babe please stop crying” he stretched out his hands to her, Amaka his hands.

“Please you need to stop crying”

Amaka stopped crying, and cleaned her tears.

“Dele I really want to apologize for what__”

“Shh….” Dele shushed her. “Stop, let’s not rehash the past”

A week later the doctor confirmed that Dele was good to go home. He was placed on crutches, until the injury on his left leg heals.

He was to come back to the hospital for check up after a week.
