*******************

Things were finally beginning to look up for Madam TY and her daughter. Six months into her service year, Bolu had given her N40,000 to start a more befitting business. They had both brainstormed on the best business the money could be used for.

Madam TY had thought of selling raw food stuff. Luckily, it was a big hit and she started making sales immediately. They couldn't afford to rent a shop but she sold at a corner of the street. She even made her hair into different modest styles now.

This morning however, she woke up feeling sick and apprehensive. She picked her phone and dialed Bolu's number. It was almost a ritual for mum or daughter to call every morning. They usually started their days this way. When Bolu's phone rang without any answer on the fifth dial, an ominous feeling overcame her. A keen sense of impending danger.

Nevertheless, she dressed up and left for her makeshift 'shop' on a corner of the street. But that oppressive dread stayed wiith her all day. She managed to do business as usual. When her phone rang at 12:05pm and saw Bolu's name displayed on the screen, she was so happy.

"Bolu, where have you been?" She asked anxiously.
" Maami, sorry, I left my phone at home, I've just come home to pick it now", she said.

Her mum heaved a sigh of relief and told her she'd been so worried.

"I'm a big girl now! Don't worry about me o", she taunted jokingly.

"How is Ade? ", she asked. Ade is one topic madam TY like discussing. He had been so helpful to them since he started dating Bolu. For the first time, Bolu appeared to be serious about a guy and it was a good sign. Ade and Bolu had met when Mrs Seriki maliciously removed her as Tobi's secretary a couple of months back. She had instead, made her a protocol officer and put her in charge of beautification department.

Very boring at first, till the day she went with the beautification team to the former governor's residence. The team was there to change the blinds. She had been so active, even though her job was to supervise. Ade, the former governor's first son had admired her through the CCTV camera. What intrigued him was her rare exotic beauty and he had minced no word in saying it to her. That marked the beginning of a beautiful relationship between the rich and the poor.

Madam TY was yet to meet Ade but she was nonetheless familiar with him on phone.

When they ended the call, her mood got better. She left for home in a lighter mood, though that eerie feeling still managed to hang somewhere in her subconcious.

seunviju: like what o jare my dear?

Like transient madness lol

****************************

'Griiiiiiiing' madam Ty was awaken by the ring of her phone. She checked the time, it was 6:35pm. She had returned home earlier, had lunch and slept off. She went to the window to close the shutters all the way. Elongated shadows were cast across the small yard. Beyond the shadows, the pale yellow walls of the main building appeared to have soaked up all the sunshine. The compound was silent; seemingly serene.

'Griiing'She had missed the call earlier. She rushed across the room to pick it when it rang again.

"Hello", the voice at the other end said.
"Hello ma", madam ty said. It was aa female on the line. Number unlisted.

She quickly closed the shutters, entirely blocking the sun. Her heart beat faster.

"Are you Ms. Bolu's mum?", the voice asked.

Madam TY stood as still as a statue. She wasn't certain what she expected to hear.
"I'm Bolu's mum", she said, trembling.

"She is involved in an acciden...", the caller was saying.
"Acci...what?" She finally let out a loud scream. "Where? When?"

"She's at Grace hospital, behind Phcn office..."
"Yeeeee, I knew it o, I felt it o", madam TY said tearfully. She picked her sales purse, lifted up her mattress and squeezed her savings in her purse. Without chaaanging her clothes, she rushed outside, calling Temi's number as she ran down the street flagging down okada.

When she failed to reach Temi on phone, she became more frightened. She even tried Bolu's numbers without luck. Hope she's not dead, she thought.

From their new house somewhere in Felele, she had almost ran to challenge before she got aa bike that was willing to take her to Grace hospital, apparently, it wasn't a popular hospital.

The ride to Grace hospital was the longest ride of her entire life. At a point. During the ride, she considered getting off and walking it out-she knew it was going to be a futile effort. The tears kept streaming down her face, she couldn't hold it any longer. Her thought kept going back to her dreams and she was almost sure it's coming to pass.

The conception and birth of Bolu, though the best thing that ever happened to her, brought very unpleasant memories to her. Memories that were finding their way back to her heavy mind even as she rode to the hospital.

Bolu opened her eyes to poor focus in an unfamiliar room. High ceilinged, brightly lit, all white. She closed her eyes again; she felt better with them closed. Gradually, she became aware that someone was sitting next to her. Whoever it was had her head placed on the bed, probably sleeping.

Bolu's hands shook slightly as she felt her face, wondering why she couldn't see clearly. Her face was ok, but when she couldn't lift her other hand and legs, she knew she was in trouble. Her right hand was bandaged heavily, forehead had what felt like heavy plaster and it felt really sticky. Her right leg felt like wood and she dared not look down to see what was happening there.

Bolu opened her mouth to speak but her voice sounded like a low croak. Madam ty felt her daughter's movement and quickly stood on her feet.

"Doctor", she shouted. Earlier, she'd been told by the doctor and nurses to call for the doctor whenever Bolu woke up. She was not in coma but her heavy sleep was induced.
"Maami, wh..a..t..", Bolu tried to speak but her mum forced her to shut up and rest while they waited for the doctor.

Still wondering how she ended up in the hospital, she tried to sip from the warm beverage her mother prepared for her. Gradually, the events of the past 24 hours started flooding back in her memory.

"Maami, where is Temi?", Bolu asked suddenly as if she was jolted back to reality for the first time.
"I've not set my eyes on her since I got here yesterday", she answered
"We were together when this happened!" Bolu said, half sitting on the bed with a pillow behind her.
"Really? I thought as much." Madam ty said, sadness creeping into her voice."I think we should talk to the doctors, we need to find out how you got here and where Temi is"

Madam ty quickly rose on her feet and half walked half ran downstairs, now worried about Temi. Downstairs, the two nurses on duty were attending to an accident victim while the doctor wrote on her prescription sheet. Not minding how busy they all looked, madam ty found her way into the room, already packed full with doctor, nurses and sympathisers.

The orderly stopped her and asked if she needed to see the nurses regarding her daughter.

"Please ma, a lady must have been brought in with my daughter...", she explained
"Yes, Aunty Temi. Her parents were contacted yesterday and they've come to take her" the orderly answered.
"Please, how was she?" Madam ty asked, still worried about Temi.
"Better than aunty Bolu. They were both rushed in by a good samaritan who called Temi's parents with his own phone".
"So, who called me?" She asked
"Ha, we called you with Temi's dad's phone, aunty Bolu's phone was spoilt in the accident".

Madam Ty felt relieved on hearing that Temi made it, though a bit surprised that she hadn't called Bolu since, unless she got worse, she thought.

Upstairs, Bolu was able to sit down with two pillows packed against the headboard. She felt better and looked better. With no phone and any means of reaching Ade, Tobi or Temi, she felt terrible, not from any physical pain but a psychological one. Propped against two pillows, good elbow supporting her frame, she allowed her mind to go over the event of the past 24hours one more time.
