The good Samaritan
For all the days I spent at the hospital crying...I never for once saw Sarah.I thought the least she would do was come see me at the hospital as my friend or even as a roommate.but I was totally wrong,maybe she never for once saw me as her friend,maybe she never for once liked me enought to call me her friend,maybe she never for once really cared about me that much,maybe I was the one who was being delusional about find a soulmate and sister in Sarah....as these thoughts made me cry more and more,made me feel so less of myself and So irritated by who I had become.All I could say while crying was Help me.....
"Hi,miss"
A nurse who was holding a little tray opened the door and came in.
"Are you okay?"she asked me with so much concern and care.just maybe.....the nurse might be the only person in the world who genuinely cared about me.
"How long have I been here?"
I managed to ask her....
"You have been here for Two weeks now....you got into a very bad accident and a good Samaritan rushed you to our hospital immediately "
"Good Samaritan?"
"Yes,ma...a good Samaritan...all you need is rest and enough time to process all of these.you don't need to beat yourself or stress yourself regarding who brought you here...they promised to come check up on you when you are awake.."
"They?who is there?"
"Ma"the nurse slowly adjusted my hands and was prepared to dress my wounds
"You will meet your saviours when the time is right...okay??"
Good Samaritan? I asked myself so many times...who in God's name was this Samaritan.
When the Nurse was done treating my wounds..she looked at me with pity..then assured me that everything was going to be fine and I nodded as usually.
I spent weeks moving around the hospital on a wheelchair...I was already recovering so there was no need to lay all day on a hospital bed.i moved around the hospital on day after day, meeting new people and trying to associate with them... actually I made new friends at the hospital... including my nurse Zara..the hospital became my Comfort place and my new home.i didn't for any reason want to be discharged,I loved the way I lived in at the hospital.
I was outside that very day with some other patients when a nurse came to inform me that my Good Samaritan was here.
"What?"
"He is here"
Then she rolled my wheelchair straight to the director's office where my good Samaritan was.
"Miss...meet your saviour Mr. Femi "
The nurse said immediately she opened the director's office doors.
The person standing in front of me was not just a good Samaritan...it was the first time in my life that I had set my eyes on a beautiful man..He was so tall,very buff,he was so cute and handsome at the same time,dark skinned and so so so Fine.i couldn't get myself to close my mouth the minute I layed my naked eyes on him.he took two steppes closer to me and bent down to shake my hands.....then I noticed he had a green eyes and pretty long lashes with a full eyebrows.his nose where so pointed...I swear it could pierce a soul.to crown it all he smelt like Heaven....that is a perfect human right there..
"Hi,I am Femi adebayo"
I know I said to crown it all.....but if you ever heard this man's voice...you would instantly drop dead.the way he smiled at me with those well arranged teeth's of his....while saying his name,could bring me back from hell.
"Are you okay"
He asked me still smiling so beautifully at me. And I thought to myself....Dear God if this was a dream please do not dare to wake me up.
"I am Rita"
I managed to say after hours of just starring at him.
"I was so worried about you.are you okay?do you still feel pain?.....I am sooo sorry Rita for driving so carelessly towards you..I should have been more careful."
I could swear that the only thing I heard,out of everything he said to me was my name.no one has ever pronounced my name in such a careful way before.
"It's fine...I am okay now"
Was the only thing my tongue could allow me say.
"Do you have like anyone that I could call or reach out to?"
Just then.....everyother feelings I had at that moment disappeared.the only question I hated being asked was "do you have anybody?"I use to have my best friend Sarah ..but now I had no one else in the world.
"Are you okay?"
He asked immediately he saw my smiling face drop.
"I have no one to go home to"
Then...tears fell countlessly on my top as if I had planned to cry beforehand.
"You do not have to cry....it's okay I understand"
He bent properly and gave me a warm hug.i felt comforted at that point.the last time someone hugged me with so much care and love was ten years ago when I was still dating Oliver.
"Doctor Could you please take care of her for me...I would come tomorrow morning to pick her up"
"We will surely do our best for miss Rita"
And then he moved towards me again.....but this time he was close enough that I thought our lips would touch.
"I will come pick you up tomorrow morning,okay? please be fine for me"
Immediately he looked straight into my eyes....I could feel lots of butterflies in my stomach.i was lost in this man's world.i couldn't wait for him to pick me up tomorrow....I have never felt so loved and cared for in a very long time.....
