Neto sat close to Sky"s bed holding Sky"s hand. He was lost in thought when Mrs Onome walked in."Neto, how are you? I didn"t know you were here. I thought it was Brianna and Jenna who stayed with the twins last night." Mrs Onome asked as she changed the flower in the flower pot.

"I came here early this morning, I couldn"t sleep and I have something to do later in the day, so i decided to come this morning. "
Mrs Onome waited for him to continue cause she knew he had something in his mind. So she continued arranging the room.
"It"s been two days ma"am since she showed signs of brain activity and the doctors said there"s an improvement and yet she"s still not awake. Maybe I should just stay here all day and postpone my meeting." Neto said without removing his eyes from Sky"s face.
"You know what Neto? I think you should go home and go freshen up, have you looked at the mirror lately? You have joined the bearded gang. I doubt if Sky would want to see you like this. I think you should go home, get a haircut and shave....put on some bright cloths and try and sleep, rest. I don"t think you should go to your meeting like this. I promise if there"s any change, I will let you know."
"That bad?" Neto asked smiling sadly.
"Yeah. You know the first time I saw you with your mom, I saw your back first. And I said to my daughter"s that My friend has a very handsome young man as a son. You don"t look like that young man anymore."
"Alright ma"am. I don"t think Mena would want to see me like this since her mom thinks I"m not good-looking anymore. I will be back as soon as I finish with work." Neto stood up and adjusted his shirt. He kissed Mrs Onome on the cheek and waved her goodbye.
Mrs Onome smiled as she watched the boy smile sincerely. This is the first time she has seen him smile brightly since the accident. She quickly brought out her phone and typed "Done" and sent to her friend. Mrs Angela was in her son"s house. She cleaned everywhere and made his favourite meal ...she had pleaded with Victoria to try help her send her son home cause with the way things are going they might end up collecting another room for Neto.
Anton sat on Sky"s desk as he sorted some doc.u.ments out. Her drawers were open and he looked like he has been up for 48 hours.
Not expecting to see anyone in the office that early. ..Dwayne walked into the office whistling. Since the news of Sky"s improvement.....he mood has lifted. He froze as he saw Anton....his jacket in the meeting area and paper scattered everywhere. Anton had his shirt sleeve rolled up and a few of his shirt b.u.t.ton unbottoned. His hair was a mess as if he"s been running his hands through it and he had bag under his eyes.
"Anton. Did you pa.s.s the night here? You look like h.e.l.l. What the h.e.l.l is going on? Is something going on in the office...Why are files scattered everywhere?" Dwayne quickly dropped his bag and started picking the papers.
Anton frowned as he watched Dwayne. As if remembering something, he quickly dashed to Sky"s private room.
"Hey Anton... talk to me man, what"s going on?" Dwayne yelled as Anton disappeared into Sky"s room.
Still, Anton ignored him. He went on with arranging the doc.u.ments. As he stood up to remove his suit jacket....he saw a different Anton standing behind him smiling.
Startled he jolted back. "f.u.c.k man! you scared the h.e.l.l out of me. What is it, have you finally lost it?"
Anton laughed as he held the folder in his hand up. "Calm down man. I found what I have been looking for. Yes I spent the night here. I don"t have much time. I"m leaving Dwayne and I"m just preparing everything for you and Chiamanda. I"ve made some calls, with everything I"ve done here..... everything should be fine.
"What! say that again Anton...what do you mean you are leaving, to where? Come on Anton, don"t leave me here like this. Please don"t go"
"Calm down Teffa. I need you to look after Kira for me ....check on her every now and then."
Dwayne dropped everything he was holding and quickly held Anton"s hand stopping him from moving. " You are leaving Kira too? Why now .....I can"t handle the company alone and what about Ms Sky? You know what, let"s go together....let"s leave the company to fall."
"I see you"ve learnt some things from the boss....so impatient. I"m going with Sky. If she doesn"t wake up in two days time, we"ll be going to China. I already spoke to some people there. There"s this genuis doctor, he"s known for reviving coma patient. I told him everything about Sky"s situation. I"ll be going with Mom, Jenna and Aidenn, and Bones. I haven"t told them yet but Aidenn is aware even though he believes she"ll wake soon."
"I"ve had it Dwayne. I can"t watch her suffer anymore. If it was me that was lying on that bed, Sky would have done everything possible for me. I spoke to some doctors in Beijing and they a.s.sured me that she would be fine."
Dwayne was surprised. He thought Anton was going to abandon him and the company. He stepped back and sat down. "Oh you are going with Ms Sky. Ok.....but I believe she"ll wake up soon".
Anton burst into laughter. "Ha, ha,ha.....hahaha. I got you real good man, you thought I was gonna leave you. You aren"t getting rid of me that easy. Now get your lazy a.s.s up. We"ve got work to do."
Neto"s meeting took longer than expected. He checked his time for the hundredth time. It was 8:00pm. "Ok Mr Terry....I just want it ready before Christmas. It"s suppose to be a...." Neto was distracted by the sound of his phone ringing. He quickly brought out his phone from his pocket. He froze as he saw the caller ID "Mrs Onome" He began panicking. "I hope all is well with Mena, why is she calling me this late...no it can"t be, Mena has to be alright." He thought to himself.
"Mr Greyson, Mr Greyson...are you alright? You look pale, should I take the call for you." Mr Terry called out to Mr Greyson who looked like a ghost.
"No I"ll get it. Please excuse me." Neto stood up and left the room. He cleared his throat and picked the call. "Evening ma"am. Is everything ok over there?.....wait, wait, what! slow down ma"am....I"m on my way."
Neto didn"t know what to do....either to scream or to cry. He quickly ran to the room and bid Mr Terry farewell...moving the meeting to another day.
Neto drove like a mad man to the hospital, luckily for him, there was no traffic on the highway. By the time he got to the hospital it was 8:20pm. A drive that takes forty minutes took him twenty minutes.
As he approached Sky"s room, he could hear voices from both the nursery and Sky"s room. He took a deep breath before he opened the room. Aidenn and doctor Tina with some other nurses were trying to get people out of the room. Almost everyone was there, Dwayne, Anton and Kira, all of Sky"s family members including Sky"s grandma. Chiamanda, Bones and Zino.
Stone was standing just beside the door. "Is it true Stone? Neto asked Stone.
"See for yourself Mr Greyson" Stone pointed towards Sky"s bed. Neto held his breath as he walked towards Sky"s bed. Everyone stopped talking as they saw him while Bones, Chiamanda, Stones, Zino, doctor t.i.ti and the nurses excused them leaving Sky"s family members and Kira, Dwayne and Anton in the room.
Dwayne tapped him on the shoulder hard as he stepped closer. Neto still couldn"t see Sky. Anton and Brianna moved away and he saw Sky sitting on the bed with her twins in her arms while her mom supported her.
"Sky....." he called out. His voice sounds hoa.r.s.e as a tear rolled down his cheek. "Mena is that really you?" Neto noticed the way Sky looked at her mom as if asking her for permission. She smiled as she looked at him with a questioning look.
"Mom who is he?" Sky asked as she handed her son to her mom...she was getting tired
