๐ฅTHE TURN AROUND 5๐ฅ
Sandra rushed David to the hospital as fast as she could with the help of someone around.
She was restless, pacing up and down “Sandra what have u gotten urself into! oh God pls let nothing happening to this soul oh.” she prayed
At last the doctor came out and Sandra hurried after him. “doctor, how’s he? is he alright? will he be alright?” Sandra asked in so much curiosity
“Madam pls came down, he is not dead. He is already receiving treatment and We’re doing our best. I’d advice u go back home and have some rest, come back tomorrow, you’re stressed already”. The doctor said.
Sandra reluctantly went back home. The accident had made her forget about the incident that brought about the accident but as she was about to get inside the house, she remembered. “haa! I’m so tired. I just hope Bright doesn’t start a fight this night. I’ll just ignore whatever he says.” She walked into the house and there was Bright seated awaiting her return. “Where are u coming from by this time? (10pm). I’m talking to you, don’t keep me quiet”. Bright yelled
“Bright pls, leave me alone”. Sandra finally responded and slowly walked away
He wanted to stop her but he observed that something had gone wrong.
The next morning Sandra rushed back to the hospital. She was directed to the doctor’s office.
“doctor how is his condition?” She asked. “well he survived. In fact he’s fine but…” he paused for awhile.
“but what doctor?” Sandra asked. “he has memory loss.” the doctor spelled out
“what!!? memory loss!? I don’t know this man. how do I get him to his people? he has no phone, no wallet, no trace! doctor u have to do something this is driving me crazy!!” Sandra lamented.
“madam pls u have to calm down, he’ll regain it back but it will take some time, but how long it’s going to take, that, I can’t say for now. he’ll be discharged in 3 days time and I believe u wouldn’t want to leave him homeless”. doctor said
“homeless? what are u trying to insinuate? that I should take him to my house? impossible! what are u even saying? I have a husband. He’s not aware of this.. No no no, impossible!” she shakes her head in disagreement

๐THE TURN AROUND 6๐
After thinking it twice, Sandra realised that it was going to be unfair if she abandon the young man like that, so she was willing to find a place for him. But she needed to seek Bright’s permission first.
Sandra arrived home and Bright was not yet back from work. She sat down for minutes and thought to herself “I know how to get him, he must definitely come to apologize to me for yesterday, there I’ll explain everything to him then use that medium to accept his apology by begging him to find a place for that young man. Yes! perfect idea!”…
Hours later, Bright came back from work with a fancy box. The sweet aroma alone coming from the kitchen was enough to melt a man’s heart…
“Hmm…” he took a deep breathe in and out.
“welcome my love” said Sandra, coming out of the kitchen to welcome Bright
“babe, what’s.. going on?” he asked looking surprised & confused
“well, let’s just say, I’m trying to be a good wife that knows just what her husband wants. I’m preparing… you know already. ur favorite, egusi and pounded yam.. with Lot’s of fishes, just the way u like it” Sandra laughed slightly.
Bright began to feel guilty, then he handed the box to her “i bought this for u, i know u will like it”
Sandra collected the package and looked into it, it was a bracelet. “thank u.” she said
Bright held her hands and smiled slightly “Sandra, what happened yesterday, wasn’t supposed to happen. I didn’t mean it that way… It was just u… pushing me to… to my limits…. and… and..” Bright began to stutter trying to defend himself
“just say you’re sorry. It will cost u nothing.” Sandra cutting him off.
Bright let go of her hands. “Sorry? seriously? what do u even need sorry for? after all those cloths I burnt were the product of my money, so what’s the big deal? I’ll make it up to you okay?” Bright said,
Sandra knew this was not the time to argue so she played along.
She dished Bright’s food and served him on the dinning table, she seized her chance & explained everything to him while he ate. “if that’s the case then he will stay here with us.” Bright responded
Sandra was disappointed at his response. She didn’t like the idea and she never expected that he would say that. “I was thinking if we get somewhere for him to stay just for the time been, it would be best. I’m not so comfortable with bringing him here” Sandra complained as she didn’t want the young man in her house.
“well u don’t have to be comfortable with it, u caused this whole thing, so face it. We have enough space in this house.” Bright concluded
3 days later, David was discharged from the hospital and Sandra brought him home. He could not talk, or eat anything. Sandra got frustrated even more. she attempted talking to him. “what have I gotten myself into? from frying pan to fire”…
