THE TRAINING WEEKEND 2

the Training Weekend

Kamson's room is never out of order, everything is well placed and no unfinished task is left in the way of the room's decor. The television was on a movie channel and a soft music was playing from Kamson's MP3 player, just like the previous day. Silvia could not understand the rationale behind having an interesting movie on, yet a soft music is equally playing at the background.

From no where, there was a knock on the door. Silvia never wanted to open the door. She felt like ignoring the knock on the door, same way she did with her boss' call. Even though she knew the consequence of not picking their boss' call. Mr Leeman is always a gentle man by nature but when it comes to a case such as this, where a member of staff ignores his call, you can bet the wild adjective would alternate for the gentle man. Then you will be hearing from the wild man.

As the knock on the door ceased, Silvia was glad that finally, she will have some peace. A good time to think of what to do. Unfortunately, her dear beautiful Kamson is now talking endlessly of different subjects. One of the things she was saying is the tale of two great rivers. Oh yes! The Yellow river in the north of China and the Yangtze river , which is to the south. She then compared it with the Orange river in Africa.  Kamson indeed was not sane even though she managed to be. She was just talking on and on about how life can be long like the Orange and short like a second of time. This was not Silvia's idea of calmness. At this point Silvia could not understand anything anymore.

She tried to give her some water to drink but Kamson refused. Silvia had never seen anything like this in her life. It was beyond her. She picked her phone and googled the cause of running nose and restlessness. So many explanations popped up but she was too confused to read. She looked at Kamson who was now seated, then she asked, Kamson, "please what is wrong with you. Please talk to me or are you on any medication". Kamson nodded in affirmation. "Alright, please where is your medication" . Silvia was now searching Kamson's bag for the medications. Soon the knock on the door resumed and this time it was different. It seem the person at the other end of the door would not leave in peace. Silvia already assumed it was another male admirer of Kamson. She ignored the thoughts and walk up to Kamson and asked,"or will you have a cup of tea first".

Silvia went over to heat up water, at  the same time she was thinking of what else to do. Should she call her mum since she is a nurse... Then she felt Mummy was not a good option at this time and her twin sister Bianca, who is the doctor of the house has her phone unavailable at this time. Mummy might be asking too many questions with no available answer. The knock on the door had stopped, it seem the visitor had the wrong address. The water was now ready so she mixed it and used a face towel to massage Kamson's face and chest. There was no improvement,so she went back to search through Kamson's bag for the medication, her search was disturbed by the ringing of Kamson's phone.

Now she had to check who it was and to her surprise, it was Kamson's best buddy, Vanessa. Vanessa and Kamson are two inseparable friends, family members knew too well to assume they were Gay. Hardly will a day go without Kamson calling Vanessa or the other way. Now Vanessa had sent about four messages to kamson with no response and now she is calling again. Silvia  ignored the call but quickly checked through their conversation and saw... Van: "am dying" while Vanessa had responded with "Kam pls. hold on I will be there shortly".
Then another message read something like "I have told you to stop already but you won't listen"... Silvia was trying to read more when Vanessa called again, then she picked and the voice at the other end of the phone responded with " Kam please craw to the door I am at the door " Silvia could sense it was the hotel door because Vanessa had knocked again while she was talking to her on phone. Vanessa must have thought Kamson was alone.

Silvia got up and opened the door for her. She had not met Vanessa in person but they both have a lot in common in terms of beauty and style. Vanessa went straight to the bed repeating thank you continuously and then brought out a small piece of cloth from her hand bag. Silvia was about telling Vanessa, that she had been searching for Kamson's medication, when Vanessa placed the wrapped piece of cloth on Kamson's nose. It was like magic, Kamson jerked in a scary way, then she sneezed and regained her consciousness.
Kamson was back and normal. She now seem calm. Vanessa had some freshly baked chicken pie in her hand bag. All she did was to ask if Silvia could help with a cup of hot water. In no time, Vanessa had  made her hot tea and placed the chicken pie on the table. Kamson seem like she had no appetite. Silvia was just staring at both of them with great shock.

Silvia moved closer to the bed to speak with Kamson. She sat on the bedside couch but couldn't hear her own words. She really wanted to ask so many questions but Kamson was just recovering and it was pointless probing her. Silvia did not know whether to stay or leave for her room. She walked up to Vanessa and asked if there was a need to take her to the hospital. In response, Vanessa politely declined and appreciated Silvia for her kind heart and care but that once Kamson sleeps she would be fine. At this point she did not want to ask Vanessa any more questions to avoid any polite insult but she knew something was not right.

Finally she left for her room and sat down to replay the just concluded episodic movie. She recalled that, Vanessa had ice cubes in the wrapped cloth and just by placing it on Kamson's nose it restored her just like that. She could not comprehend what ice cubes did that warm water could not do. A mail soon popped up on her phone. She had been selected as the team leader for the Cross river state Product launch. She was to send her team members names, draw up a budget for their stay and send message to the company secretary, who is to plan the hotel reservation.
