Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 46
…After Two weeks, Mr.otunba douglas was
strong enough to receive visitors. one of them
was his sister,the woman who had begged
doctor frank to perform the operation.
As they were talking, doctor frank walked in with
some drugs to see his patient. immediately the
woman saw him, she fell on her knees and
began to thank the him.she sighed and turned
to Mr.Otunba and told him to thank the young
doctor specially.
“Otunba, he did what very few people would
do.she began..he was supposed to travel out of
the country that very night you were brought
her and there was no other doctor that could
perform the operation, but when he saw you,
he cancelled his journey and performed the
operation”she stopped and stared at Mr.otunba
who turned and said feebly.
“Thank you my son. I’m really grateful for what
you did, may God bless you.he said and paused
for a while then asked doctor frank his name.
“Don’t you remember me, Senator Otunba? he
asked and Mr.otunba peered at his face and
shook his head.
“My name is Frank”,he said.and i used to be
your gate guild some years ago.You sacked me
and threatened to..
“Jesu holy cow! he screamed.for a longtime, he
couldn’t talk.he kept on staring at frank as if he
were a ghost. he couldn’t believe it’s Frank that
was the doctor that saved his life.
Oh my God! No one can predict tomorrow. you
can only know ones today but can’t know his
tomorrow. he said within himself as he continue
to stare at him.
Everything about him smelt
money.
When he finally broke the silence, there were
tears in his eyes and let it flow freely then
turned to his sister.
“Mary, please help me beg this young man on
my behalf. he began as he shed more tears… I
did a lot of bad things to him and I also sacked
him because he was having a relationship with
Oyin.
I also paid some bad boys to kill him just to get
him away from my daughter. he sobed as he
spoke.
I didn’t know that the person i desperately wanted to destroy would
be the person that
would save my life.he stopped and shook his
head bitterly.
Doctor frank was shocked and surprised to hear
that from him, he never believed Mr.otunba
would want him dead.he stared at him and
smiled faintly.
“Sometimes, it’s always like that.he thought and
watched the woman fell on her knees again and
asked him to forgive her brother.
“Pls forgive me, my son. Mr.otunba douglas
finally get down on his knees and seriously
begged him.
doctor frank sighed and stared at him with pity. I
have already forgive you, Sir.I believe God just
wanted everything to happen the way they
did.If you hadn’t sent those men to kill me,
perhaps I wouldn’t have been what I am today.
he concluded while Mr.otunba douglas broke
down and wept.his sister wept too as frank
brought out his handkerchief and began to wipe
away his tears.
Two days later,
While doctor frank was checking Otunba’s blood
pressure, the old man informed him that Oyin
was in town.
“She flew in this morning from london and
would be here today.she would be excited to
see you. he Said and stared at Frank who was
lost in thought as memories of Oyin hit him hard
that he couldn’t wait to see her.he tried to hide
the excitement that shown on his face but
couldn’t.
A faint smile lit up doctor frank’s face and he
said.
“That’s if she still remember me.he said.
Why won’t she remember you? they both
laughed and doctor frank looked at his wrist
watch then told his patient that he would be on
his way.
“I still have a long list of patients to see this
morning. but pls, Sir just do me the favour and
call me whenever she arrives.
I will, my son.he said with a smile.
The doctor left and not quite long after ward,
Oyindamola arrived.
She drove into the hospital with the intention of
seeing her father after so many years..
she stepped down from the car as several
security men followed after her.
she told them to stay beside her car as she
brought out her phone to dail a number.
.
Meanwhile,doctor frank decided to check on
other patients immediately he left Mr.otunba’s
ward. he walked in haste, twice faster than
norma. he heard someone calling him,he turned
back to look at who it was while still walking but
saw no one, Oyin was also coming into the
hospital but her gaze and focus was on her
phone.
she was too engrossed in whatever she was
doing as she dailed Lisa’s number to tell her she
was back to the country. the deed has been
done before doctor frank could return her gaze
back to the way, they both bumped into each
other.
Oyin loosed her grip on her phone and it
went flying in the air and crashed on the floor,
she quickly bend down and took the phone
which only holds a little scratch on it’s back.
they both raised up their heads in the same
manner and gazed at each other and Oyin
quickly looked away.
“Oh! am so sorry, doctor frank apologized and
stared at her while Oyin shrugged,getting hold
of herself from loosing her temper.she sighed
and waved him away, then began to walk out.
The call was more important to her than any
other thing that she didn’t care to stop and
exchange greetings with the doctor. But
something seem familiar with the face she saw,
she had this feeling it was someone she lost long
ago but she shrugged it off and composed
herself to call Lisa.
