i was still lost in my thoughts when a nurse walked up to my side
me: nurse please where is the man that came in with me
nurse: (she shook her head) i have not seen anyone here since i resumed my shift
me: (surprised as i looked at her) but i was just brought in not a few minutes ago (i said but the nurse just smiled)
nurse: not at all, i am a morning shift nurse and i resumed to see you here, you were admitted in yesterday afternoon.
me: what (i exclaimed shocked, did i sleep that much that i thought that i was still in the same day) but i just got here
nurse: no miss you were prescribed a very powerful pain reliever and it made you to sleep for that long ( the nurse said as he injected
me: ok (i said uncertainly and the nurse smiled to me)
nurse: you need to eat something when it almost noon (she said and i just nodded gently, trying to understand all what she said, and she walked on to attend to other patients, not long after she left my bed i turned and i saw the bike man coming towards my bed, at that moment my joy knew no bounds as i saw that he was here and not abandoned me)
bike man: i see that you have finally woken up, how is your leg? (he asked with a smile)
me: fine (i replied as i looked at him to see if my belongings were with him and i guessed that he noticed that because he only smiled)
bike man: your bag and box are safe (he said to me and i smiled slightly) did you think that i will let it be stolen? (he asked but in my mind i was like i already thought that he was a thief himself)
me: thank you but i want to see my things (i said)
bike man: it's ok they are at my house, you will be discharged later in the evening. (he said to me and then suddenly i thought of the hospital bills and i asked)
me: oh my god how much am i going to pay! (i exclaimed and i could see the slight grin on his face)
bike man: you do not have to worry about the bills i already settled them.
me: (what the f--k, i thought this man was a commercial bike man, where the heck did he get money from) you settled them( i asked and he nodded slightly and suddenly i felt grateful to him) thank you but i will pay you back.
bike man: just forget about that and let's focus on your health (oh my god this man is too nice, too nice to be true am i dreaming? i have never seen anyone to be nice to me and mostly i did not think that i will ever find a man that i can say is different from the rest) what do you feel like eating? ( he asked waking me up from my daydreaming)
me : uh!
bike man: yes you have been asleep for a long time and you must be hungry ( he said again with a nice voice, what kind of a person is this man that is caring for someone that he barely knows) don't reply i will get something for you to eat! ( he said as he got up)
me: but i don't even know you? ( i said as he came back to me)
bike man: you will get to know me but first let me get you something to eat ( he said as he walked on but i stopped him with my question)
me: your name? ( i asked as i stared at him and he just looked back with a smile)
bike man: david (he said as he walked out of the ward, who the heck is this man calling himself david and why does he care for me, i mean i already thought a lot of bad things to him but am not to blame as i just don't trust anyone but this david is changing my believe, he returned minutes later with a bowl of jollof rice and fish with a cold drink and he assisted me up and i ate the food hurriedly, oh yes i was really starving, god know what they put inside the medicine as i ate so hungrily and i finished the food before the doctor came to check on me and david left the ward, the doctor then gave me another injection after i complained of pains and slowly after receiving the injection i fell asleep and woke up to see him beside me)
david: the doctors have discharged you, we will soon be going.
me: going to where (i suddenly found myself asking i mean i did not have a destination before)
david: to my house of cause (he said) or i take you to your house.
my pov
i just stared at him, i don't know him, he is a total stranger to me but all the same he has shown to be a very kind and reliable person but the problem is that i do not trust him in fact i do not trust anyone, should i leave with him considering that i do not have a destination
david: we are ready to go (he said) can i (he offered to help me up and i nodded before he helped me up and assisted me out of the hospital, i was expecting to see his bike but i was surprised when we walked towards a white Mercedes Benz and he helped me in before he also got in)
me: where is your bike? (i asked still surprised but he just smiled as he started the car)
