JEALOSY JEALOSY

FMC, OWO- SURGICAL WARD

Wait, do not correct me. I know the real spelling is Jealous! I really hate being corrected for making grammatical blunders. I promise, but all I do when corrected is to make a smile scar on my face but God knows I really want to hit the person’s middle skull so bad.

Guess who just passed by? It is the tea… I mean the lady I wanted to gossip about. I know my Dad has said a lot of pathetic and false stories about his children for not coming to his aid at the Hospital, probably to save his face. I could perceive this arousing atmosphere since I came here.

The Woman at the left side is probably a Yoruba person, who has decided to nurse his husband, a tall dark man around his late 50’s. Sometimes, I quickly mistake him for my Dad. They both seem a bit modest and not the type to discriminate or hate. They are peace lover to me in short.

Then, we have this grumpy lady in her middle age. Looks like 30 but act like 20. She is an Igbo lady on a low cut hair. She is tall and has a large hip with a chubby stature. How I noticed she was mischievous? The first day I had my bath when I caught her staring at me…. I knew something wasn’t right because the stare was obviously that of loathe. Preposterous, right? I was amazed too. Well, I concluded she was just being mean, she persisted with her malicious stares. It was so uncomfortable but I reciprocated this in the short run. Trust me, I’m bitchier, no exceptions for older bitches. That stare of contempt however couldn’t compete with the stare of admiration I get for my look. Another annoying fact about this wretched lady is that she is fond of making unnecessary fuss and loud bull sessions with her sick man at midnight when other patients are asleep. Today, She almost engaged me in an altercation.

I am one of the youngest lady here and I have enjoyed a lot of privileges and compliments from strangers for my look.

Relax, I might not be beauty Queen but my look counts. Hence, I concluded Mrs. Grumpy is not just basically my Dad’s fan, she is also a mean woman that hates on younger blood.

Well, I’ll not waste so much of my precious time on this mischievous woman. I’ll rather stop writing and assist this sick old man to go to another health unit.. How are me? lol, I won’t lie, I’m not fine, everything sucks. This place is a blood sucking place. Something wild is that I took my bathe with a rain water that is somehow slippery. I can’t believe water is a scarce commodity in a federal Hospital like this! Most importantly, Nigeria is a messy place to be….
