AISHA

Ya Allah! I hate hospitals,i just hate seeing sick people here and there.I hate the smell of the hospital itself,and most of all, i hate the way people bump into each other.

I know the first thing that will come to your minds is that i complain a lot.

Actually,am not usually like this,hospitals just give me a reason to complain.

Imagine seeing lots of people in an hospital.I mean "lot",where are we,a park?

Sometimes i just wonder how many people fall sick per day,or get injured per day.My answer wi ll always be infinity!!

Especially in this state,Lagos.Its no doubt is the most populated state in Nigeria.Lets just say its over populated!!

Its like Nigerians are targeting Lagos,too much crowd,its just so overbearing.

You wakeup in the morning,first thing that greets you is noise.Noises of people ready to start a new day as early as possible.You dont even need an alarm,the noise will serve as one.

Well,the only good thing i love about Lagos is that its always lively.To be frank,the state is fun.

I call it small America or small New york.I prefer small New york,from all the novels and films have came across,New york sounds exactly like Lagos.

The hustling and bustling?It encourages to go ahead with your day.And at times you may wish to take a break from the hustling and bustling of the big city.

Okay,back to the hospital,i came to visit a friend who was admitted to the Federal medical center(FMC) at Ebute metta.Am glad Ebute metta is not far to Yaba were i stay.
Actually i live off campus,the school hostel was already full when i got admission.Am a student of UNILAG(University of Lagos).Am proud to say that out loud,if you guys will permit me,lol.

Grace should be really grateful its Saturday,or else i wouldn't have been able to visit her.Am not a bad friend,its just that am really busy this days, especially with exam on its way.

Grace has been a really good friend,not just that but also a good room mate.We've been friends since i got admitted to the school,we are really close,although we dont study the same course.
I study Bio-chemistry while she statistics,both in 300level.

I looked back when i felt someone tap me.
"Miss,have been calling you for quite a while"it was a young man in a doctor's coat.
HANDSOME,that was the first thing that came to my mind.Stupid right?But seriously i wish you guys were in my shoes right now,this guy is damn handsome.

Ya Allah forgive me for saying a bad word.
"Sannu"(Hello)i greeted the man.I woulf rather say guy,he looks just a few years older than me.

"You are Hausa?"he asked.
Dumb,dumb,dumb!!!I just spoke Hausa and he is still asking me if am Hausa.

"Yes i am"i answerd trying not to sound rude.I hate it when people ask me if am Hausa after i speak Hausa to them.

"Please can i help you?"i asked  when i noticed that the guy wasn't saying anything.

"Erm..sorry.Am Emmanuel"He said looking ... nervous??

Oh no he looks nervous.I hate being in this type of situation.He is even telling me his name,girls will understand this.When a guy tells you his name without you asking,he finds you attractive.

"Okay??.."Don't blame me guys,what do you expect me to say or do?You don't expect me to tell him my name,do you?

"Am a doctor here"be continued aftet a while.
Didn't i tell you this guy is dumb.

"I can see that"i said sounding frustrated this time.Dont blame me o,who won't know he his a doctor.I mean be is wearing a f**king doctor's coat!!
I cursed again,Ya Allah forgive me.

"Am sor..."he tried speaking again,but this time i didn't let him.
"Sorry please you are wasting my time,i have to go"i said and left him at the spot.

He wasted my time,that dumb handsome guy wasted my precious time.It took me a while before i was able to locate Grace's ward.

Well,i thought i wont be meeting Mr dumb handsome again.I was so wrong,so so wrong.
