"Are you okay?" that was when i knew that i could hear once more. It seemed i had an unfinished battle with Biodun, he held both of my hands to my back so that the Red Cross could do their work seamlessly, i was too weak to struggle. 

 
The smell of iodine and methylated spirit almost made me vomit, i was too weak to go to the clinic, some of my roommates had organized the ad-hoc Red Cross team to examine me,  the only reasonable excuse i had formulated was that i didn't see the ditch,  i couldn't hear much of my screams whenever the wool was pressed, I was sure it travelled down the long hall because when i thought i shouted less, all set their eyes on me,  I felt i needed to be attended to by an Otolaryngologists instead of the rocky hand Red Cross officials that press wool soaked in spirit on bare flesh, I feared of loosing my ability to ear.

Everyone one that saw me enquired the cause of why i was bandaged on my wrist and my head, i had a uniform response ; "it was a slight accident" and i wished i had a way of avoiding people, the enquiries was too much.

That morning i was given a permit to reside in the hostel, it was hard for the Soldiers who came chasing to believe it was an injury, one almost loosen the bandage despite the evidence of the permit,  i was eventually rescued by a witness who i could remember pointing to that ditch the previous night 

I was glued to the bed  for many hours, all i did was to read "Think big by Ben Carson", I realized the cause of the disappearance of buckets of water kept under the bed; people who stayed back in the hostel took them and left before the rest came back. 

It was after the morning parade when I made effort to walk. 

Kunle and Biodun advised  that i would be doing myself more harm  being immobile. After collecting breakfast we sat in circles...... 


Kunle: "Today is the semi final between my girls and platoon four"

Biodun: "How prepared are the girls?

Kunle: "hundred percent, i am sure platoon one is no match"

My phone rang and it was Maureen calling......

Kunle: "it's his new girlfriend"

Me: ** in a cracked tone ** "Hello Maureen"

Maureen : "Hi Osaz,  where have you been?"

Me: "i am having little fever,  but i am getting better"

Maureen: "will you be out this afternoon"

Me: "probably"

Maureen: "take care of yourself and make sure you rest well"

Me: "Alright dear"

Kunle: "hmmn...

Me: "Abeg leave that matter, she is just a nice friend"

Kunle: "see en Omolara really dey do me well o, i would really like to taste her honey pot before leaving this camp"

Biodun: "this is my real nigga,  coach indeed,  i dey your back "

Me: "Abeg no corrupt me o,  i be born again"

Kunle: ** laughs** "Abeg no dey form for here"

Biodun: " so how do you intend to strike"

Kunle : "slow and steady, i will go strategically, and surely hit the jackpot and 
sure she is also willing to taste my rod"

Me: "if you encounter any difficulties or you need morale consult me,  i will craft something potent"

Me: "can we talk of something more decent instead of planning to destroy someone's duaghter "

Biodun: "pope no vex"

Kunle:  "guys please come and watch my girls today"

Biodun: "i will definitely come,  i wanna watch Omolara"


When they left, i recounted all that happened yesterday how my effort was ruined about me,  how insensitive Kate was. I knew pain wasn't worth it but i wasn't willing to surrender.

I closed the book and joined the rest still struggling with  pains all over my body.
