“Will you lend a hand in opening this stubborn door? It’s not yielding at all” I shouted, still pushing myself against the door

“I would love to” the man said

“Then do, in 1,2…”

“But I can’t” he said, interrupting my count

“What? Why?” I asked frailly, already exhausted but maintained my hand on the handle

“Because I didn’t lend you a hand in closing it” the man replied

“But it doesn’t matter, you just have to…” I trailed off, suddenly vey fearful
 
What is happening to me?

“No, I have no say in this. Your heart is still closed, my dear” the man replied.

“So, how’s your husband’s health?” I asked Sherifat

“Ehnn, him good enough make he talk, but the nurse say him get frank-something” she replied

“Frank-something ke,” Victoria said “what is that?”

“Ehnehn!” she exclaimed “been trying to remember . It’s Frankture” she said and we all burst into laughter

“Why the cause of laughter?” she asked and Tessie continued laughing while we trued to stifle it

“Ooh, because of  Frankture?” she asked and I couldn’t hold it any longer

. I burst into laughter, smacking Brent in the process

“Sorry, we don’t mean to laugh at…” I managed to say inbetween bouts of laughter.

  Tessie was already coughing and Victoria’s eyes were red. On top this Frank… I said in my mind and laughed again.

“I no angry o” she said “that’s how my girls too laugh o. the little Oyinbo I dey say, na dem taught me o. if they are also here when I said…”

“Please don’t say it again!” Tessie shouted while we all tried to calm ourselves

“Okay” the woman said and we calmed down a bit.

“How you no say na fran…” she stopped, scratched her neck and continued “how you know say na the thing dey do my husband?”

“Ohh, I am a nurse” I replied

“Nurse? For here?” she asked

“Yeah” I replied

“Wowwww!” she exclaimed and I blushed

“So, why did you seem it fit to come meet us?” Ken asked

“Ehmm” Sherifat said “Na my husband say make I come see you people o”

“And why is that?” Tessie asked

“Because he say na him cause the accident” she replied
  
I was taken aback and so were the rest.

“Humm” I breathed in sharply

“The lady no wan gree first but she gree later later so she take the bike” 
Kennie shook his head, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened it back.
  
She continued “My husband now tell me when I go see am say guilt dey eat am and he wan know if the lady no die.

“Okay” Kennie said “Tell your husband that her condition is indeed critical but she will be fine, she is already in the theatre. Also, he is forgiven”

“Just like that eeh?” Sherifat beamed with excitement

“Yeah. Christ forgave us all just like that. Who am I not to?” Ken replied

“What of the rest uncle and aunty?” she asked
  
We all replied with “It’s fine” and 
“It’s cool” with a little smile

“Thank you o. God go bless you so tey he go pass your expectation and the aunty in the theatre will be very fine. Eseun oo” she said 

“Thank God” I replied.

“Let me go home and prepare food for Kunle. He never eat before he leave road for house this morning”

“Okay. Journey mercies” I said and she turned to go.

“Ooh wait” Kennie said, dipping his hands in his pocket.

“Okay” she said and complied.

“What a complicated world!” I thought in my mind
