Contract husband

Omar shivered and bit her lower lip as tears gathered in her eyes.

” Is this it?…. Is this how you feel?” She asked and nodded her head, allowing the tears stream down her eyes.

Ife ruffled his hands on his head as he felt the impact of migraine on his head. The pain relief didn’t seem to be working fast and he had to find a quick solution.

He sighed and walked out.

*************

The doctor examined him for the third time and penned down some information.

” I’m through with the examination…. Please come with me to my office Mr Davis.

Ife nodded and followed the doctor to her office.

” What is wrong with me doctor.” He asked anxiously.

The doctor adjusted her glasses and smiled.

” Calm down Mr Davis…. It’s nothing serious…… the test shows that you had a panic attack which could be due to stress…. Or probably some events that had occurred within the past few days.” The doctor said.

Ife sighed.

” So you mean it’s nothing serious?” he asked in clarification.

” It’s nothing serious Mr Davis….. When last did you had a good sleep?” She asked him.

Ife exhaled.

” It’s been weeks…. I got somethings on my mind which had been nagging at me!!”

The doctor nodded.

” you need some days of good rest and you will be alright…. I will add some sleeping pills to the drugs I’ll be prescribing for you.” The doctor said and jotted some things down.

” Here you go Mr Davis….. you’ll get the drugs available at our pharmacy.” The doctor said, handing him a prescription form.

” Thanks doc…. I’ll get them on my way out.” He said.

” You are welcomed Mr Davis…. Make sure you take some days off from work and rest well.” The doctor advised.

He thanked the doctor one more time and left, transfixing his gaze on the prescription form on his way down to the pharmacy department, and passing through the long corridor of the hospital, when he almost bumped into a lady.

” Oh!!…. I’m so sorry ma’am…..” he was saying as he took a second glance at her.

It was Zoey.

” Ife!!…. Oh!!…. What a coincidence!!” Zoey said in smiles.

“Zoey…. so we meet again.” Ife muttered.

” What are you doing here?” She asked him eagerly.

” I came to see a doctor.”

” What are you doing here?” he asked her in curiosity.

She chuckled softly.

” I work here.”

” Oh!…. That’s good…. Nice to see you again.” He said and was about to walk out when she tactfully stood in his way.

” Uhm…. Ife…. I actually need us to talk.” She said.

” There’s nothing to talk about Zoey.” Ife replied immediately.

” please Ife…. I promise I won’t take much of your time…. Please.” She said pleadingly.

” Fine…. Where do we talk?”

” Let’s go to my office.” She said and led the way.

” So I’m all ears.” Ife said, immediately they settled in her office.

Zoey narrowed her gaze and exhaled.

” Ife…. Please…. I… uhm….. I’m sorry for walking out on our relationship…. I’m really sorry…. The last two years of my life has been a life of regrets…. And that’s why I came back…. I… uhm …. Please Ife….. I need you back in my life.”

Ife rested his gaze on her for a while and chuckled.

” So you think coming to me with a few muddled up words of apologies will cut it?” Ife asked.

Zoey swallowed hard.

” I had to leave as at that time….. Ife I didn’t mean to leave you hanging when you needed me most….. I loved you….. and I still do.” Zoey said, choking back the tears from falling.

” I don’t think this is the best time to discuss this…. I’m not in a good mood right now.” He said and got up.

Zoey nodded her head.

” It’s ok….. I’ll wait for you to come around.” She said in whispers.

Ife swallowed hard.

” I’ll see you some other time Zoey.” He said and left.
