The Village Gardner
*Episode 28*
Two guys from the restaurant came and help me to Anabel’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 moan in pain.
Anabel 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 nearby chemist were they will help us treat the would. I pray the wound won’t be deep.*she said to me* She 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. Anabel 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.(Anabel 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, otherwise 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 Anabel 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.
ME; *surprised* why did you stop the car.
ANABELL; Eerm Tobe.
ME; Yes, what is that. Why stopped the car?.
ANABEL; I’m very sorry for what James did to you. I apologise for everything that happened today. Thank you for standing by my side. I’m speechless on what to say. Thank you.
ME; Hmmmm.
She held my left shoulder, the particular place that i was stabbed. I couldn’t help but shouted in pain.
ME; Aaaaaaaaaarh. Anabel you have wound me.
ANABEL; (she removed her hand) Ooh, i’m sorry dear. I never knew that it was that place that you were hurt. Is it paining you?.
ME; (No in dey sweet me). Before nko. You don’t know that it’s hurt. *frown face*.
ANABELL; I’m sorry. *staring at me*
ME; Please stop staring at me and start the car. I want to go home and rest. I had suffered enough today.
She paid deaf ear and was still staring at me which made me uncomfortable..
ME; Anabel what is it?.
ANABEL; Nothing.
ME; You are staring at me and you said nothing.
ANABEL; Eerm, you are handsome.
ME; (na you sabi) Thank you. Please can we go now?.
I wonder what my Isabella would be thinking why i didn’t pick her call, especially if she see the wound. I’m sure i have enough explanation to give to her.
Anabel didn’t say any other word. She started the car and we drove away.
Some minutes later, we drove inside the compound and she kill the car engine. We came down from the car.
I looked up lo and behold Isabella was walking closer to the car. My heart was beating faster for no just reason. Anabel was holding and leading me to my room. She didn’t even care at all. She came closer, we stopped and she saw Anabel holding me to herself. *her face change and she said*
ISABELLA; Hi sis. *frown face*
ANABEL; Hello Bella. What’s up.
ISABELLA; I’m fine.
She looked at my shoulder and saw the bandage that was on my shoulder and said.
ISABELLA; Tobe, what happened to you. Why the bandage..
ME; Ooh i was injured.
ISABELLA; OMG! what happened, how, who did this to you. Please talk to me. Let me take you to your room first.
She asked Anabel not to worry that she will take me to the room.
But Anabel declined saying she will take me by herself.
ANABEL; Don’t worry dear sis. I will take him by myself. *smiled*
Isabella was surprised and sad, that her sister was holding me. She felt jealousy
ANABEL; Dear lets go. She said to me.
I followed her to my room. I turn and saw Isabella looking at us, mouth open. She felt dejected and sad, that i didn’t greet her as usual. I too, i wasn’t happy to see her in sad mood. Anabel was smiling all through. But i gat no choice. I unlocked the door and Anabel came in. I look outside and Isabella was still staring at us almost in tears. I wanted to go and meet her, but i don’t want Anabell to know that there is something going on between me and her sister. So i concluded that i will see her later and tell her everything she need to know.
Thank God that we are finally home. Anabel said to me.
