DOCTOR KATE SAT DOWN as she
addressed
Stephanie. “You should take things
easy now,
you don’t need to shout.” She
cautioned.
Stephanie was breathing heavily,
she had been
praying to herself not to hear
anything bad
concerning her best friend. she
tried to calm
herself down before she spoke.
“Alright, just
tell me what is going on, what’s up
with her
again?” She asked.
“The criteria in which one must
have before
donating a kidney.” She paused for
a while
before she continued. “The person
must not be
a drunk, I mean the person must
not be
someone who drinks alcohol
regularly because
such people are already giving their
kidneys
more work to do.” She paused
again, this time,
Jay and Uche glanced at each other
and then
the Doctor again.
“Another thing is that the person
must not be
diabetes patient. Now, I hope you
guys don’t
drink.” She smiled.
“Just once in a while, let’s say
every Friday
night.” Jay replied with a smile.
“Even if it is just once per month, I
won’t let
you donate because the
complications after
the surgery are usually severe if
the donor has
a faulty kidney.”
“Then I’ll donate.” Stephanie
chimed in.
“Alright, that’s also cool.” Uche
said.
“What of Richard? He doesn’t look
like a
person who drink.” Doctor smiled.
“He’s even the boss at it.” Jay
chuckled.
“Let’s see how it goes.” Dr. Kate
nodded
continuously.

MORNING.
Pemisire had dressed up as early as
possible.
She was dressed neatly in a dapper
and plush
white collared shirt which she just
bought
together with the cerulean blue
fitted true-to-
size trouser and a pair of black
sandals. She
raised her head up after using her
black belt
and faced her friend. “How do I
look?” She
asked her with a smile.
“I knew it, I knew you’d ask me
that question.”
Helen chortled and continued.
“They worth
their prices, you look great dear.”
“You just made me remember
Pemisayo, that’s
what she did she anytime I
conclude my
dressing. She’d say I look good, any
man who
would marry us must be a great
man.”
“Don’t let us talk about that again,
bringing
back memories will make us
uncomfortable.”
She cuddled her.
“Alright, Chemistry Teacher.” She
laughed.
Helen hit her and laughed too.
“Thank you,
Mrs Bartender.”
“Anyhow, but I’m not a ‘Mrs’”
“I tell you, you will meet the man
soon.” She
laughed.
“I have no time for a guy now, I
can’t love
anyone in this predicament.”
“Girl, I tell you, you don’t know
when the right
man can come, be cheerful
everytime.” She
smiled faintly and picked up her
handbag.
“You will make me be the most
punctual
teacher at the end of the term, I
do leave home
like fifteen minutes after this time.
Anyways,
it’s a good thing.” She grinned.
“Hmmn.. You just talk like she did,
you act
like she did, she did tell me that no
one knows
when the angel might come, always
look
happy.” Pemisire smiled faintly and
picked the
handbag.
“Just be a good girl, I’ll get the
planned stuff
as we’ve discussed.” She smiled.
“It’s good but I don’t think it is
necessary, no
one knows my hideout.”
“It doesn’t matter dear.” Helen
said. “I’m off.”
She concluded.
********
“Kidney what?” Richard shouted as
he flew up
to his feet. He just woke up from
his sleep and
met himself lying on one of the
sofas in their
small sitting room. He got the
bombshell from
Jay who had been praying for him
to wake up
so as to hear the latest news as
soon as
possible.
“Failure, boy.” Jay replied him.
“Not again, not again! This is too
much for
her to bear, it is!” He went on his
kneels
crying.
“I knew you’d do this senseless
thing, I knew
it!” Uche hissed aloud and stood up
before
him. “This won’t solve the matter,
if you don’t
know. Now, what do we do?”
“I should be the one asking, I think
surgery is
the next right? I’ll donate, even the
two.” He
said quickly.
“Guy, use your brain! See, how can
you donate
two kidneys? And, for your
information, you
can’t donate anything.” Jay said.
“Why would I not? I think i should
get going
to the hospital, I want to see my
bestie.”
“You now drink, a person who take
alcohol
like you cannot be a donor,
especially when
her case is very tough like this
present one.”
Jay said.
“Who told you? I think I really need
to go.”
Richard’s phone rang. “Stephanie,
how are
you?” Richard asked as he picked
up the call.
“I don’t have much airtime but…
your
attention is really needed here, it
seems
something is going on.” She
paused.
“What? What again?” He quickly
asked.
“I don’t know.” Stephanie started
crying.”
“What is it? What?” Richard fainted..
