Kola
<p>My childhood friend committed suicide on December 31st few years ago. I was in the car, he was driving, he turned and smiled and looked dead in my eyes, Babe always know that I'll always love you. You are a part of me, I love you and don't miss me too much. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I was still staring at my phone when I said Kola, what's up now, are you traveling, he was like yes, to a silent place. </p><p><br/></p><p>And I was like, silent place keh, hope you will not loss in Paris again. Because you call that place your calm place and it's almost like you forget me. </p><p><br/></p><p>And Kola was like, Babe you know that you give me calm , you are my sunshine, and rainbow, you sit in my silence with no questions like that quiet feeling after rain. Babe sha don't miss me too much. </p><p><br/></p><p>I was like baba let's take a picture to capture this memory. We took a picture and I was like buy something for me oo when you are coming back. </p><p><br/></p><p>Low and behold, right before my eyes Kola was looking like he was drowsy, mind you, he was on the steering, I went blank,all I remember was me shouting Kola, Kola, Kola what is happening, I was seeing blood coming out of his hand, ah ah I could not think straight, what happened? </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I still, i was shocked and before I realized or could think of anything, we were in a car crash. </p><p><br/></p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000365380.jpg"/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I was unconscious for two months. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I woke up to be a suspect for Kola's murder, what the heck?</p><p><br/></p><p>His mother that did not like me before came to the hospital the day I regained consciousness, I was still in awe. What just happened?</p><p><br/></p><p>Two months of my life was taken away,my final exams were done, funny enough I was in SS 3, Kola was a doctor, we built a life for ourselves. </p><p><br/></p><p>We were dating for three years. I didn't know what happened,my life was in turmoil and when I saw that doctor, I wondered what happened to me,my stuff like my clothes, bags and phone.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was just in shock and somehow things were not even getting better, my health was deteriorating and I just could not understand what was happening. Was I hallucinating or was this real? </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>What happened to Kola? </p><p><br/></p><p>And </p><p><br/></p><p>Why would he kill himself? </p><p><br/></p><p>Now let's look at it, he had a fulfilling career, we were happy in our relationship but what went wrong? </p><p><br/></p><p>The police were trying to ask me questions and I was just there, thoughts running in my mind but I was unable to speak. What happened to me? </p><p><br/></p><p>So the doctors excused the police and I was laid to rest on my bed. They gave me injections and told me to sleep for a while. </p><p><br/></p><p>I closed my eyes and a few minutes after I was left to sleep, I woke up and my eyes were still shut and I heard Kola's voice, I was trying to open my eyes, but I was unable to open them. </p><p><br/></p><p>I was trying to speak or even move but it was like something so strong was holding me shut. </p><p><br/></p><p>So I started praying saying I didn't want to die and then I stopped. </p><p><br/></p><p>I stopped trying to move, I was just stiff. Then I waited to even listen to the voice and it was Kola's voice. </p><p><br/></p><p>How could it be? </p><p><br/></p><p>Did Kola not die? </p><p><br/></p><p>Am I hallucinating? </p><p><br/></p><p>Or</p><p><br/></p><p>Is this a set up? </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I laid on the bed, paralyzed but conscious for some time and I slept off again. </p><p><br/></p><p>When I woke up, I could finally move.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I stayed on the bed, listening to my surroundings,if I could hear Kola again, but I did not hear his voice. I only heard my mom.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>My mother walked in to the room and whispered something in my ear</p>
