MY SIDE CHICK
Episode 09
There was a loud knock on Faith’s bedroom door,she quickly jumped out of the bed and threw the blankets at the corner of the bed then went and opened the window,the sun rays was already shining,she then checked on her phone and realized that it was already seven.She quickly carried her bucket and a towel and rushed to open the door.
“ Good morning Cheru”her mother who was standing at the door waiting for her had greeted “ Good morning ma!” she said walking away and left the mother standing at the door who walked into the room as Faith rushed to the kitchen to take warm water and ran to the bathroom that was outside the house.
After they had taken the breakfast she had worn her blue trouser jeans a white top and a rubber shoes as she took her luggages out of the house one by one.The father was still cross checking the engine of his Toyota Corolla.He was dressed in a black suit,a white shirt without a tie and a brown timberland just like he always did.
The brother helped the sister to carry her suitcase and the foodstuffs that the mother had managed to pack for her in the grey hotpots.
Faith facial expression explained everything,she was sad,she wanted to stay a little bit longer with her family but however the holidays was over,she hugged the mother then hugged his brother and bid them goodbye in local Kalenjin language.
The father was in the car waiting for her to say her final goodbyes before she boarded the old Toyota Corolla and they left the compound.She saw her neighborhood friends and waved at them as the father sped the car and within some few minutes they were in the main road.
Fayez was busy walking in the corridors of the hospital when a nurse came running towards him.
“ Doctor Fayez,there is a very critical condition in the maternity ward”
“ what happened Nurse?”
“ There is a woman who needs to undergo operation now or else she will lose her baby” Fayez who was dressed in a white lab coat and had a stethoscope on his neck,had rushed to the maternity ward to check what was going on.
It was on a Monday morning and work had started on a very serious note.He had checked on the woman’s heart beat rate using the stethoscope and finally checked her pressure,he then ordered some operation tools to be transferred to him as fast as possible and he started the operation with the help of the nurses who were around.
At around twelve when they were almost finishing with the operation so was Faith and his father arriving in town,they drove and parked their car at the gas filling station that was besides the Naivas Supermarket then went and did some shopping and left to where Faith resided.The fair man had then left her and travelled back home.Homesick strike her but she arranged her house and everything then she decided to call Fayez.
Fayez was done with the operation and was walking back to his office when his phone rang.
“ Hello babe,how are you?” he had just spoke after receiving the call.“ Am fine just a little headache but I guess I will be fine” she replied and then went silent for some minutes.“ Have you travelled?” the man had then decided to break the silence,“ Yeah am in the house,I was hoping you could give me company later”
“ okay don’t worry I will pick you later in the evening after work,am currently busy” he said as he ended the call and sat on the chair of his office, rotating himself while he checked on the file of the patient that had been submitted by a nurse.
