series................TOLU

 

Tolu kept jogging at her own pace hoping to cover at least the stipulated 15 kilometers she gave herself, when suddenly she heard a sound coming from her left foot, she tried to continue jogging but she couldn’t feel her own legs, she crawled gently away from the side walk to a shop, she didn’t know when tears started gushing from her eyes.  Tolu is a 25 year  graduate of computer science from the university of Lagos but has decided to pursue her dream of becoming a model, despite her skinny figure she never stops working out, she would always say if I relax I’ll add weight, she once told her mum that and her mum said, I pity you this girl, one day you’ll disappear from the face of the earth due to this “yeye”weightloss thing.as she cried profusely a young man who was also jogging heard her voice and decided to find out what happened, with a baritone voice he said  hi, my name is Chris, what happened to you he asked? Amidst tears she started narrating how she heard a sound from her leg and now she just cannot move her legs, oh oh! he said am sure you sprained your leg, let me take a look, as he tried to hold her leg she screamed like a pregnant woman in labour,damn! He uttered this is really more serious than I thought, we have to get you to a hospital really fast, give me a contact number of any family member so i could reach them and let them know how u are doing.
