The Friendzone--- Episode 1

Patients were never the issue for Oyin Balogun – it was something she had agreed to at any rate – however the families and companions of the Patients were dependably the bad dream.

They groaned more than the individual in agony, got to be crankier more than the individual who just experienced surgery and had a tendency to be more uncomfortable than somebody who just got determined to have an ailment.

Furthermore, despite the fact that she could deal with her Patients, she couldn't understand how to handle their Relations.

Three years after her medicinal residency, she was still ignorant regarding how to manage that part of the employment.

As she advanced out of the Theater where she had recently completed a surgical operation on a twenty seven year old mother of one, she attempted to avoid the Patient's wailing mother and her more formed spouse.

Hours before when she had gone into surgery, she told the lady everything would be alright; she was an expert, she recognized what she was doing and this was not her first Fibroid operation.

Be that as it may, much the same as most families she'd gone over since she turned into a therapeutic Doctor, the lady had been entirely hesitant to trust her. Truth be told, she had asked her "Would you say you are certain you recognize what you're stating?"

Before all else, that question had aggravated Oyin and once, she'd snapped at a more seasoned man who asked her.

The man who was in his mid fifties had acquired his wife for treatment keeping in mind Oyin took care of the lady, her spouse had inquired as to whether she was certain she recognized what she was doing.

Furious and not able to trust questions like that were still coordinated to female specialists in the calling, she'd asked him, "In the event that I was not certain what I was doing, do you think I'd be here?"

The man had been stunned most definitely and even an expression of remorse amid his wife's next doctor's facility visit had been released.

Obviously it was the last time they went to her for treatment.

Presently, as she briskly burst into a partner's office to abstain from seeing her latest patient's anxious mother, she wished relatives would simply be more sensible.

"Who is pursuing this one?"

Oyin looked at her associate and work bestie as she got a kick out of the chance to call him, he was perched on his seat, his legs on the table making a passageway between so much paper work while his hands easily joined Boli and groundnut, making them prepared for his utilization.

"One lady like that"

He peered toward her in her cleans as his hand lifted his nourishment into his mouth, "You simply completed surgery?"

She gestured, "And as normal my Patient's mom is hurrying to me for overhaul"

Kolapo laughed, "I question they know how irritating that thing is once in a while"

"I know right? This lady is especially excessively eager for my preferring abeg and… "

The subject of their examination burst in through the entryway and took a gander at Oyin, "Madam, how far with my little girl?"

Kolapo knew Oyinkansola Balogun well and he realized that her understanding was shorter than Amber Rose's hair and he was additionally mindful that after surgery, she was normally irritable.

Also, he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that her reaction to this lady who had no admiration for limits was not going to be pretty so he swung enthusiastically, "Madam, your little girl's condition is steady. Specialist Balogun here as of now has everything under control. Presently please go and ask that she completely recuperates"

The mother moaned, obviously alleviated. "God favor you. Please when would we be able to see her?" She asked, looking from Oyin to Kolapo.

"Before long"

The lady grinned, mouthed her appreciation and made out of the workplace.

"A few days ehn, I loathe this employment"

"Different days, you adore me and the employment" Kolapo reacted with a wink.

"Better go and take a seat. You don't know you're old abi?"

Kolapo chuckled. He preferred her, more than he had loved anybody in a while and more than he was willing to share.

He was a modest individual and Oyin was the main individual he related with the way he did with her. Four years before when he began his medicinal practice in the Hospital, senior therapeutic staff individuals had teased him a considerable measure.

He had been similar to a fish out of water and had been absolutely strange.

Kolapo's mom had kicked the bucket not long after birthing him and he'd just known his dad for a long time before the man passed on of malignancy.

He had been raised by his grandma who despite the fact that had little, had attempted her best to raise him well.

He had experienced childhood in Ile – Ife, a town that would have been immaterial to numerous notwithstanding the University that remained in it and that delivered a portion of the best names in the nation.

Ife a town that was rich in Yoruba history was not your normal huge town; one noteworthy street went through the entire town, just about everybody knew everybody and the Ooni's choice was generally the last.

Yet, it was excellent in its own right, illuminating through its kin and prospering through its fruitful children and little girls.

The half finished structures and old houses that were in a few sections of the town may add to culture stun for a few individuals however it was sincerely a portion of the things that made it excellent, a percentage of the things that made Kolapo long for it.

The crudeness of its way of life which dissimilar to some enormous urban communities like Ibadan had figured out how to be undiluted amid the years made it charming. What's more, the closeness regardless it kept up with its old history elevated its supernatural quality.

Furthermore, that town was the place he had gone to his essential and auxiliary schools and when time came, his University.

So when his Uncle requested him to come to Lagos to start his therapeutic practice, he had been overpowered by Lagos' disorder and clamor.

He had really fallen wiped out for an entire week after he first came to Lagos.

Furthermore, in light of the fact that numerous rushed to tease him about his inflection and characteristics, he had been attracted to Oyin when she came and had been the special case who appeared to really comprehend him.

"My bestie ought to be in the nation any moment" She said to him, pushing an enormous piece of boli through her mouth. "I'm going to pick him from the Airport"

"The Segun fellow?"

She gestured, "The Segun fellow"

Opening his ice chest, she recovered a jug of chilly water and grabbed it.

"You'd keep running into activity o"

She shrugged, "I know. Be that as it may, it is just Segun I would do this for I swear. I was letting him know that on the telephone yesterday sef however we go path back. Also his better half here just dumped him months back so she's unquestionably not going to be holding up at the Airport with inflatables noticeable all around and a group of energized companions"

She was giving back the remaining water into his cooler at this point. "At the point when is your day of work over?"

"In 60 minutes" Kolapo reacted and looked as she made for the entryway.

"I'm off tomorrow. I'd see you on Sunday morning" she said, made a gesture of blowing him a kiss and close the entryway behind her.

As Kolapo continued his prior position, he knew the reviving in his heartbeat and the additional pace his pulse was going at was not a finding for any wellbeing related issue, he was really starting to succumb to her.

Be that as it may, he was not going to advise her. Not yet.

Oyin abhorred Lagos activity the way no one else did. At whatever point she advised her companions and partners that, they generally advised her it was what others would say however the fact of the matter was, she did.

The greatest misfortune in her life had been affability of Lagos activity.

It had been a stormy night in June, she had been stuck in activity on Lekki/Ajah road when the call came in that her dad required dire medicinal consideration.

Her mom had been freezing on the flip side of the line, saying an excess of things on the double and voicing out her trepidation.

Oyin had advised her to unwind and requested them to surge him to the Hospital. She was going to make a U turn and meet them midway.

They had listened to her yet the movement had another arrangement, the street had been hindered in what appeared to be the most noticeably awful activity ever.

Her dad had passed away amidst all that.

She recalled that her mom's words when they at long last achieved the doctor's facility, "And you know, when we achieved the front, nothing was bringing on the activity".

Movement had turned out to be more deplorable to her from that point forward yet when you lived in a city such as Lagos, activity was a steady.

Her telephone rang and she knew before picking it who it was, "KP"

Kolapo's voice talked through the telephone, "How is it going?"

"Closer to the Airport now, omo that activity tie gele o"

He laughed, that sound that she was currently acclimated to, the sound that at whatever point she heard it via telephone she could picture the look that went with it.

"Be that as it may, in any event you won't enter it when you're coming"

"Abi na"

Her telephone beeped, there was a holding up call and it was Segun.

"Let me get back to you, KP. Segun is attempting to contact me"

"OK. Holla"

The call finished and she picked Segun's "Mr Man"

"Hey. I'm here"

She grinned, in a few minutes she would see him again in fragile living creature and blood, the first run through in two years.

She needed to concede, she had missed him like there's no tomorrow.

Telephone calls and IMs had solidified their fellowship however there was in no way such as a warm embrace from that one individual you could open up about your heart and inner feelings to.

"Hey. I would arrive in a bit"

"Alright. I'm the most smoking fellow wearing a purple polo"

She chuckled, "Vain blockhead"

"I adore you as well"

She had met him in her third year in school. He had been closest companions with her then sweetheart, Eze.

The year she began dating Eze, he went on his Industrial Training and it was amid one of their various telephone discussions that Eze specified his closest companion Segun who was his "eyes" in school.

"Young ladies are dependably improperly stumbling for him yet despite everything he has sufficient energy to be my eyes and watch you" Eze had specified via telephone.

Furthermore, she'd been somewhat disturbed that her sweetheart felt the need to watch her while he was on his IT b
