[b]"I am so happy Christian! The doctor just informed me you are responding to treatment with the speed of light and I can see how healthy you look right now" Christianah said,half screaming as she entered her twin brother's ward.
Oh! Kristie baby,yes I am much better now,all because of you. You know I can't wait to start kicking your butt if you disrespect me. Christian replied,with smiles on his face.
"tarrh!! So funny I forgot to laugh. All because of the one minute difference? Iffa hear sey you be my big bro"
Christian couldn't help but laugh at the baby face she was making,even at age 24,she still acts like the little girl he grew up with.
"See Kristie,either one minute or 30 seconds,I still came to this world before you. Ntoooorrrhh... *bringing out his tongue with his hands pulling down his eyelids to put more effect at his mockery*
"Hahahahaha.. Omg! You look so childish Christian,see you.. So funny... Hmmm,you don't know how happy I am seeing you this way. Like you weren't the one I saw two days ago. I know my bro is strong and I know you will fight this Leukaemia. I have so so missed you bro.
Christian smiled,holding tight to his twin sister's hands. "I am doing this for you dearest sis,you know your engagement is tomorrow and your wedding comes up on saturday. I can't imagine being too sick on those special days. Yes,I won't be able to come,because the doctor said I still need more rest,but staying well for you is all that matters,you just can't keep shifting your wedding date because of me".
With a mixture of tears and smiles,Christianah replied. "I love you Christian,you know I will do anything just to make you be at my wedding,I don't mind postponing it,yet I can't deny you of your request. Since you want me to go ahead with the wedding,then I will"
"Don't worry Kristie,there are still many celebrations we will do together,okay? It's just a matter of time. I know you will make a good wife,Nathaniel is really lucky to have you as his wife..and you guys will have gorgeous children"
"Enough about me jur (slightly pushing his shoulders). You better get up quick and get a wife o. This one that you don't want to have a girlfriend. Anyway,I will be the one to pick a wife for you,and on ur wedding day,it is the gown I pick that she will wear. She said.
Christian scoffed "funny you,I am a guy remember? I will get married at age 30.. Its not too late na..
*one hour gone,and they were still discussing and making silly jokes*
Kristie, Oya start going,you need to prepare for tomorrow ,and don't bother coming to see me on sunday o,you can come on monday,after you've gotten enough rest. Mrs Badmus to be. Christian teased.
"Habah! Bro,are you stylishly sending me away? Anyway sha,let me leave you to rest,I will see you on monday...make sure you eat the food I brought and take good care of yourself. Christianah replied standing up.
"Hey! Kristie give big bro a peck"
"Anything for my bro *pecks him* take care Christian.
"You too Kristie,don't forget Christian loves you..good bye"
"Same here big bro,Kristie loves her brother so much..bye see you on monday"

Excuse me Miss Christianah, oh! Sorry, Mrs Badmus. Good afternoon Mr Badmus,how are you both doing this Monday afternoon? (Stopping them on their way to Christian's ward and shaking Mr Badmus)
"Ha! Doctor,we are very fine, we are here to see my brother,I hope he is much better now? Christianah asked smiling"
"Errrrmmm yes. Urrghh, I mean of cause he is fine,he asked me to give you this letter. *handling over an envelop to her*
"A letter? What for? Christian and his surprises,can't he just tell me face to face? Well,I will read it in his presence" *moving away*
"Actually Mrs Badmus,he wants you to read it before coming to his ward..if you will excuse me"
Christianah looked at her husband's face,while he shrugged and gave her a go ahead look..they both sat down to read the letter..she opened it,and it read thus..

Dearest sister,by the time you will be reading this letter, I know you would have become Mrs Badmus. I am so happy for you dear.
I am writing in sadness,pain and happiness all together. Sadness and pain because I won't be seeing you any longer, and happiness because God kept me alive to write this letter.
The last time you came,I had to pretend to be well just to make you happy. I made the doctor lie to you. My days were numbered already because the Leukaemia had eaten up all my marrow and I couldn't fight it anymore.
My 24 years on earth had been of pain and I am weak and weary.
Remember I told you "I am doing this for you"? Yes,I had to look well so you will be happy through out your wedding. God had promised me a life void of sickness. And I begged Him to keep me till you become Mrs Badmus,and He did.
Keep my memories with you Kristie baby. I will miss you so much. Remember the days I do eat your food and tell you sorry? Those days we run round the garden like couples? How about our days in the university and service years? Gosh! I can't forget those times I beat up any guy that tries to mess up with you. Don't forget I am still your big brother. Do tell Nathaniel,that if he tries anything funny, I will come down and beat him up.. *smiles* You will forever be my special part Kristie.
When I say I love you, I mean it. I love you more than a brother, and if I come back to this world, I would still love to have you by me,not as a sister,but as a wife,because you are the best woman I have ever known.
I am sorry for not saying good bye in a proper way. I know I won't be able to endure it. Forgive me dearest sis... Take good care of dad and mum.. Till we meet to part no more...
Christian loves you Christianah.. Good Bye...[/i]
