Tunde continued his frantic driving. He rubbed his head with the palm of his right hand. He still felt guilty for that night. Ada had cheated on him too, he said trying to pacify his conscience. He shrugged at the thought of his own ills, "it was just a one night stand" he said to his inner self. He decided to turn the radio on, he was blessed with Nonso Amadi's "Tonight" . he increased the volume to its loudest, shut his window and drove with top speed, the road to Ada's place felt rather too long.

He was caught between his inner crises and the music blaring when he had a head on collision with another vehicle. He saw his whole life play back like a movie. He felt life draining out of him, he had lost every single thing, and Ada too had left him for his friend. He made to stand when he felt a bang on his head, he lifted his right arm in an attempt to touch his head, but no way, his vision became blurred, he then in few seconds saw his best days and worse days....everything blacked out and he became totally unaware of his environment......

A crowd had gathered at the scene of the accident, somewhere busy taking pictures or making video coverage of the accident, some took to carting away with some of Tunde's valuable such as his wristwatch and wallet. A lady prompted the onlookers to rush Tunde to the hospital

. Two men volunteered and carried the almost lifeless Tunde to the lady's car....

Ada was home already. She was with Chioma in the sitting room. Chioma had been trying to know whay she returned witjout Cleo, but Ada was not ready to tell her a thing. Thoughts of Bernard's touch filled her mind; he was sweet to her and her world felt complete around him.

. Those luscious lips, she wished she had taken a bite. 

Her phone rang bringing her back to earth. It was Cleo.

"Bae"

"Cleo, you done with the party?" Ada asked

"No. Are you alright?"

"I am all good"

"Where you at?"

"I'm home"

"I have bad news. i am sorry you'd be getting this news from me, Tunde was involved in a car accident."

"Stop joking. Not my Tunde." Ada said trying to be strong but tears were already building in her eyes.

"I am sorry dear, but I am serious. It’s on instagram, check Pulse24/7"

Ada was mute. She could not say a word, a part of her was happy and the other sad. Tunde cannot just have an accident like that now, he was extremely good with the road, she said to herself. The creepy voice in her head said "If Tunde dies, just know you killed him"

"Hello, hello Ada"

Ada ended the call and sat motionless, she dialed Tunde's number and she was accosted by a woman's voice.

"Can I speak to Tunde?" Ada asked

"I'm sorry. I do not know who Tunde is, but I know this phone was seen with the accident victim brought to this hospital some minutes ago." said the nurse.

"Which hospital?"

"Vianney's hospital"

"I'd be there" Ada said ending the call and sobbing.

She reached for the car key and ran upstairs to change her dress. She quickly left without saying a word to Chioma who was on a call……

To think they were having issues already. “God keep him safe” She muttered under her breathe as she drove to the hospital.
