Thirteen days left

I woke up to the chipping sound of the birds beside my window, I stood up and took my bath , wore my pad then a yellow palazzo and a white singlet well tucked in, loose my hair and brush it then pack it in a messy bun before going outside for breakfast, after am done eating I took my drugs and cleared the kitchen, picked my phone and left the house, the mestral pain has subsided a little at least I can take a walk. I walk down the busy road taking in the nice scent of the area as I smiled at everyone, I sometimes wave and they waved back. After walking for a while I stopped at the groceries shop and bought few things that would last me for twelve days before heading back home for lunch since it's afternoon already.

I got home tired but managed to prepare fried rice with vegetable salad for lunch, I sat down to eat my food when my phone rang, it Zion, I smiled picking the call "hello" I said happily "hey... you sound happy" I heard his voice and I smiled. "ya I am... want to live a happy life for the remaining days left" I said the last statement lowly and I heard him sigh " do you have to remind me how many days left?" be asked calmly and I smiled "I ain't reminding you but myself I just want to be free, just came back from a walk and about to eat" I said putting a full spoon of rice in my mouth " really? so what are you eating?" he asked and I mumbled " fried rice with chicken and salad" between my food "miracle the doctor said you shouldn't eat fried foods" he said and I rolled my eyes"does it matter? it won't change anything anyway" I said taking a bite of the chicken "it's your choice anyway but I warned you" he said and I scoff "whatever" I replied "by the way....I won't be visiting today, work is kind of busy, so please take good care of yourself and don't forget to take your drugs okay" he said and I nodded as if he can see me " yes bro I will do just that... by the way I miss you and thanks for yesterday" I said and he mumbled a " hummm...bye" he said and the line went dead.

After I was done eating I took my drugs and went to my room, had a shower and changed my pad then wore a red short sleeveless gown, left my hair loose before going to the parlour to watch some news.

After a while of boredom I went back to my room, sat on my chair and start to arrange my table when my eyes caught a picture, that my little brother he died two years ago to brain tumour, he did operation but didn't survive 24 hours after. He was my only companion but now he's gone, gone to rest in peace in a place better than this world. I cried till I fell asleep.
