5 Minute Freewrite: Friday Prompt: Flower Magic

Flower Magic

FLOR By @evagavilan2

Okorie came visiting to his girlfriend Ada and he could not meet her at home. He tried to reach her on her mobile phone but was told "switched off". This is quite strange, Okorie muttered. What could be wrong, God!!! He tried to ring up Ada's friend to find out if she is with her. It was then that he was told that Ada is hospitalised in a nearby hospital. Okorie was taken aback. What could be the problem? He wondered.

In a matter of minutes he made his way to the said hospital. The traffic was much for it was a Friday night. He managed to maneuver his way through some 'short cuts'. On getting there he was told that Ada has been taken into the intensive care unit, thus, you cannot see her now.

Okorie has been in love with Chioma for over 3 years now and he has never experienced this type of sickness by Ada. As he sat in the hospital ward he wondered what he can do now to show Ada that he truly love her and that he will stand by her throughout this trying period. It then occurred to him that all these years of dating the he has never bought flower for Ada.

Ah, that's it. Let me get some fine flowers with sweet scent. It will send her a strong message about my love for her. He quickly went out and got some red hibiscus flowers. On getting back he was ushered into Ada's ward. Ada on sighting Okorie with those brightly coloured flowers started brimming with smile and shaking both his head and hands in appreciation. Okorie quickly zoomed in and gave her a huge hug. This is from me. Your sickness is over. This is a magical love flower babe...
