LOVES NOT IN HER DICTIONARY

MAGIC

"well, I must report the patient is doing too well for someone who was rushed to the hospital bleeding profusely almost to death first of all, to a person that needed to go through an emergency procedure to survive, as well as someone who was comatose few days ago and to the epic closing? someone whose vitals were in such abysmal states she had to be hooked on medical devices with a no movement restrictions over her. I mean, be under a lot of a strict prohibitions due to her rapidly deteriorating state. She was in a wheelchair for Gods sake Doc.!" she replied

"What? come clearer, I didn't catch that. What are you rambling on about?" He said a little confused.

"Ok! Here is the whole scene. There was a ceremony yesterday for the patient, something traditional. Then all of a sudden she was alright!" she said alarmed while she continued to elaborate. "I am talking fit as the fiddle! I mean all her vitals are excellent! she is back to full health, going about rigorous duties. It is as if she was never in our health facility few days ago in a dire condition. I must confess, I don't believe in magic but it seems that is exactly what happened! I mean a complete healthy person in all the aspects. To be blunt my presence here is useless." she concludes.

"Wow!" he exclaimed. "But that can't be possible? In as much as our priority is for our patients to regain their health back? we must agree, it doesn't happen overnight." he commented mindfully.

"I thought as much! But there is substantial evidence right before me Doc. " she responds giving Jenn a side glance.

"Is this some sort of prank or today is one of those days like 'April fool's' Day? It highly unprofessional to perpetuate such act in our setting! talk less of the time! I am at the hospital on duty!" he chided. "Any impediment in rejuvenating my lost strength for the shortest possible time available could cause us great havoc! if not a life or multitudes. As the senior nurse, I didn't expect you to exhibit this kind of misconduct." He berated her severely with the prejudice of her pulling his leg.

"Doc. check your calendar, today is none of the days nor what you think. Besides, I couldn't jeopardize your rest neither would i play around with any patients life like that! Not to mention a whom we are dealing with Sir. " She firmly stamped.

"Was she giving anything to eat or drink? I mean any cuts? Anything that could introduce a bacteria or virus into her system?" he queried professionally more constructively.

"No! Sir. Nothing of that sort. I would say just more of dress up nature kind of activity." She replied.

"Wow! That's a new one?" he said contemplatively. "Yes, we do have a serious situation and thanks goodness you don't believe in magic, cause it doesn't exist." Came his indifferent hoarse voice. "That is rare though. Her recovery is a good sign without the facts of the duration. Did you take samples?" he asked whiles pondering his next step.

"Yes! I did Doc." she confirmed

"Ok! That's a good first step. You said her vitals had returned to normalcy?" he asked for certainty.

"Yes Doc. But the thing is madam Jennifer will not take it slow. She had been a busy bee since yesterday's event turn around. I can't get her to relax, I'm afraid she would relax this way in her current condition. I don't want to lose my certificate Doc." She expressed her concern wholeheartedly.

"Hm!" he sighs in deep thought. "continue to check her vitals and observe her karma I hope she is cooperative in terms of that? "he asked about rubbing his eyes. He needed to do a little research before day break he told himself.

"Of course! Doctor Asare." She replied in the affirmative.

"I will be there when I get off duty in the morning, which should be a few hours from now." He says checking the time on his wrist watch.

In case such a situation arises and please relax, you would not lose your certificate. Remember a nervous practitioner could cause great damage than good. I trust you to do a great job; that is why you were assigned. Don't let me down, I'll be there soon. "he said reassuring her.

"Ok! Doctor Asare. Thank you sir."She said heaving a breath of a pinch of relieve.

"Just hang in there a while till I get there and accept my apology for criticizing you unjustly, it was not intentional but an oversight, poor judgement I must say." He says hanging up before she could respond, then diving right into achieves of records to see what he can find on the developing case of Jennifer."

"You are overthinking and whilst you do? You think too highly of me MAMAGA! I am not the source of your strength. My absence will not affect you in any way be rest assured." He told her whiles thinking by himself, Your condition never had nothing to do with the physical to begin with anyways. Now that the armlet was with you, you will be fine until it is time."

For now, due to your current condition you needn't assume that duty. which is why I need to head back to attend your subjects.

"Ha! ha! ha! " Togui could not resist but let out a hearty laughter accompanying Jennifer the now ordained Queen mother of the illustrious people of Srogbe Anglo Ga stretching their vocal cords. "Indeed! laughter they say was contagious." He said. He was certainly not leaving without one of his wise saying, which he graciously delivered eloquently.

"Thanks once again for coming through, although our meeting was a brief encounter? I will cherish it. It was an honor meeting you." Jennifer expressed her appreciation.

"The pleasure is all mine!" Replied Togui.

"Are you sure you wouldn't want me to package a to go breakfast for you?" She said suggestively squinting in anticipation of his reply.

"Thanks! No thanks! My Queen. I would be home in just a few." He said then took his leave. Togui didn't intend on taking the same route he arrived by. Instead he was going for the formless process. He didn't want his absence to be noticed. A few fortunate ones beheld his departure from the village unfortunately due to the urgency of the task ahead then. However, that cannot be a bases to determine whether he had been within or without the boundaries of the village. Although, he needn't report his movements to none yet some things are best kept underground until the opportune time to be uncovered. Talking of discovery, After performing the coronation rites he sensed the presence of an ancient formless travel portal within the gated community which he could not vibe initially and decided that would be his return route. It seemed the heavy presence of spiritual activities enhanced the essence of the Portal to where he could feel it currently. As he departed the compound he followed the essence trail of the Portal to locate it. It had been awhile he picked up on such now scarce paths of traveling. Due to evolution of society many of such portal had been rendered weak or destroyed unbeknownst to today's generation.
