The rain seemed to be bent on setting a record of some sort today, it is the third consecutive days it has been raining except for the few hours it stopped to take a breather. Frawl crawls in his misearable corner of the small room that was allocated to him and that fair, tall boy. Seun had another arrangement in town, so he is rarely around. An unrelenting, intense chill soaked through his skin, muscles and invaded his aching bones. He covered himself with the thick duveen bedsheet that provided little or no warmth.
Frank heard sharp footsteps outside the door. The wood door flew open. Frank didn't raise his head, he knew the knly person that can make such entry. Ruth flew herself on the small matress, almost lying on top of Frank.
"I need a massage" her voice was calm and controlled like she has been playing those words in her head for a while.
There was a short silence as it took Frank a little while to process those words. And once he did, they sent a sudden warmth all through his body. Then she spoke again this time in pidgin.
"All my body dey pain me, particularly my joints". Frank was already sitting before she concluded the statement.
" Doctor Frank is at your service" he said not jokingly.
To be continued....
