*** Beautiful Stranger*** Episode 23 ;) *** “Hi Doctor Jerry.” A nurse greeted as Jerry walked in with Emeka. “We have missed you around here.” She added as she turned into one of the private wards. “I don’t get it.” Jerry started. Emeka stared at him. “What?” “How can people look into your eyes and lie?” Jerry asked. Emeka chuckled. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Jerry stopped. “Dude, that nurse just lied that she missed me. Clearly no one did. Survival rates have gone up, how could I be missed?” Emeka smiled. “You are not the only problem that the Hospital has, besides, mentality is very important in saving a patient. Both from you and the patient, so sometimes, you might be doing your best and the patient isn’t. And most importantly, it is God who saves lives. We are just the tools.” “I am such a faulty tool then.” Jerry said as he pushed his office door open. “So, the director wanted me back because the patients have increased here at the hospital or because you put in a good word for me?” “Me? I had nothing to do with it. Why would I want to ruin your honeymoon?” Emeka asked as he took a seat. “Patients have increased. With all the happenings in town, casualty rate has gone up and as such, the tendency for mortality rate too is upped. This is where we as Doctors come in, we try to reduce the mortality rate.” Jerry nodded. “Toni thinks I should join a help support group for my drinking issue.” Emeka smiled. “Interesting. The fact that you think it is an issue means it is an issue. I am happy to learn that you are going to stop.” “I just want to make her happy. I don’t want to do anything that would hurt her.” Jerry said. Emeka shook his head. “You just missed a vital step to redemption.” “And that would be?” Jerry asked. Emeka sat up. “You are doing this because it is best for you. It is obviously going to be good for her too, but first, you are doing it because it is the right thing to do.” Jerry sighed. “I guess you have a point.” “I always have a point.” Emeka replied as he relaxed in his seat. “So, what is your plan for the new girl? When do I get to meet her?” “Which of the questions should I answer first?” Jerry retorted. Emeka grinned. “You would make a very jealous lover. So, when do I get to meet Miss?” Jerry cleared his throat. “I don’t know. I am not ready to have you tell me that you saw her in your dream in a wedding gown and that you know she is for you.” “Guy! I am not that kind of guy. I won’t do that to you, but if she is for me, you can’t put asunder.” Emeka replied with a smile. “You are not her type.” Jerry replied as he hung his stethoscope around his neck. Emeka smiled. “You are not a very good judge of character.” “Case closed. You are not meeting her. About my plans? I really do want to be with her and I’d do everything to be the perfect man for her.” “Jerry, you are a good guy. That I know. And I think you have found someone special but I must remind you, you are walking on a thin line with the little lies you have started building, you might want to break it all down, you still have the time.” Emeka said, standing up. “When I eventually meet her, I would introduce myself as a Doctor. At least that way, you won’t have told too many lies.” He said and gave Jerry a light tap. Jerry swallowed at Emeka’s words. Emeka’s words had a way of turning into a nightmare for him from the little he had seen. “Let’s go do some rounds, bro.” Emeka called as he walked out of the office. Jerry took a deep breath and followed him. *** Nora shot a wicked glance at Toni. “Are we really watching this?” Toni chuckled. “We just finished the first half. A few minutes break and they will be up and running for the second forty five.” “I don’t like football.” Nora replied angrily. Toni nodded. “But Mommy, you said I can watch whatever I want and that you would be by my side all the way. Did you forget?” Nora groaned. “This is cheap blackmail, Toni. It is ridiculously cheap.” “Wrong. It isn’t cheap. If it was, it won’t be costing you this much discomfort.” She replied with a smile. Nora frowned. “I think you should learn to like football. I bet James likes football and if you want to warm your way into the heart of that guy, you should know a little more about the sport. Start by picking a team.” Toni advised. Nora hissed. Toni nudged her in the waist. “Dear Nora, this advice is priceless. I can assure you that most ladies that lose their guys to the sport don’t understand that they could actually enjoy the sport together. If she is so unwilling to love the game, she can love the boys.” Nora stared at her with a raised eyebrow. “I am being honest here. There are a lot of cute guys that play football.” Toni replied. “So, let me bring you up to speed with football. To start with, the team in the red jersey is Arsenal and the team in the blue jersey is Everton-” “-Not interested.” Nora replied. The doorbell went. Nora sprang to her feet in delight. “I’ll get it.” “Why do you hate football so much?” Toni asked, laughing. Nora ignored her and hurried to the door. Toni focused on the Television as the players from both teams returned to the field. “Hello, Toni.” Toni turned round and smiled. “Hey! James! How are you?” James smiled. “I made it in time for the second half, so I am great.” He said, taking a seat. “What do I offer you?” Nora asked. James shook his head. “Nothing. I just need to focus on my boys.” “Arsenal.” Toni asked James nodded with a smile. “We are the best.” Toni hissed. “Let me guess, Chelsea?” he asked. Toni smiled. “Atta boy! Jose’s Army. The Roman empire!” Nora fumed as she watched her sister bond with James. “I think Arsenal will win.” She said, jumping into the discussion. Toni turned her head at Nora with a cynical smile. “I see…” Nora nodded and took her seat beside James. “You know, the best thing about football is the passion. I think they put a lot of passion into it.” Toni sneezed. To.be Continued ....
