THE SECRET. Episode 11

"What really happened?" I had being asleep for the past 48hours. I didn't really understand what was happening, knowing fully well what I was doing when I got the news of my admission. The thoughts of the things I had done the last time suddenly woke me fully. Alice, hmm.. the name was fast to come up in my brain since the last time I saw her. "Don't worry your head with certain issues that are not worthy right now." My aunt as usual with her words trying to lure me away from the worries that had consumed my mind.

It's been 4 hours my aunt left. The thought came so fast to me. I then heard a knock on the door which I believed was my aunt. She had gone to the market to get some foodstuffs since she had not gone to work. "Yes! who is there?"  Different thought crossed my mind. "Can it be Alice or Mrs Jay?"  They were the regular visitors to my house during the weekdays.  I went straight to the door without further hesitation. Mr Jay! I couldn't believe my eyes as he was not a regular visitor to my house. "Good afternoon sir" I greeted without remembering the fact that he was responsible for the scar on my forehead. He replied my greetings stammering. I had not known Mr Jay to be a stammerer before. "I heard you lost too much of blood two nights ago and you were in a coma since then?" He asked. Wait! I didn't even know blood was the cause of my problems. I pretended I knew all along even though my aunt didn't make mention of it when I woke up. " I will like to invite you for dinner today." I was dumbfounded as I never expected such from him. The words of my uncle quickly crossed my mind. "I can't make it sir?" He tried to persuade me into coming but I declined, and I told him I will be going out in the evening.

Wait! I didn't ask about Alice. As this popped up, I asked myself what will possibly be the reason Mr Jay had not being angry with me? Still having logical analysis of the issue. I remembered that Alice and I wrote JAMB and POST UTME the previous year. Did she meet the cut-off for pharmacy? As I was about to pickup my phone to have a look at the cut-off, my aunt showed up with a strong tone "Open this door fast"
