He came into the office. He was running late and he was definitely Lost in thought.
N - You’re late. “How was your week?”
H – It had seven days in it.
N – He chuckled a bit. Ok. “Tell me about it.”
H – Not much to tell.
N – How are things with Cuddy?
H - We were leaving the hospital at the same time and I asked her how the baby was? I hadn’t seen him since he left the hospital. She told me he was fine.
N – wewe didn’t ask to see him au if wewe could help?
H – She has a nanny. If she wants me to see him she let me know.
N – Ok. How are things with Wilson?
H - I was running late but I stopped at the cafeteria to get some breakfast. Wilson was there so,” I asked him if he minded if I sit down?”
N - “And did he?”
H - He said, “go ahead.”
N - OK. How did the rest of the conversation go?
H - “It was fine.” He is not very romantic anymore. I don’t know if it is my cologne au if he has found someone else.
N – Ok so things are still tense between wewe and Wilson? Why?
H - I noticed he was having trouble holding his fork and the newspaper so I asked him about his wrist. He alisema it was fine. I continued to swali him and he got upset.
W - “Don’t! Just stop House! I am trying to songesha on!
H – That was his reply.
N - “So Wilson is still angry?”
H - No. He was checking the cafeteria for surround sound. Yes he is angry.
H - Then I asked why he came to get me from Mexico if he still hated me? He replied:
W – Because wewe are a good doctor and I don’t know why.
H – Why are wewe so mad?
W – I went to the surgeon yesterday. They have done all that can be done. I have all the movement I am going to get back.
H – That means he will not be able to perform surgery.
N – How did wewe respond to that?
H – I found an makala that talked about new improvements in surgical procedures for wrist injuries. I tried to tell him about it.
N – And that was helpful?
H – No. He then screamed at me:
W – House get out! I don’t want your ideas! I don’t want your help! I just want wewe to stay away from me. I want wewe far away from me!
N – Did wewe try apologizing?
H – Apologies don’t fix things. wewe have to do something.
N – It might fix you. It is not whether wewe can fix his wrist. We have been here before House. wewe tell him wewe are sorry and wewe songesha on. It is about making a connection; it is about trust; it is about taking a risk.
H – What if he doesn’t forgive me?
N – wewe songesha on. wewe are not apologizing to get something from him. wewe are apologizing because wewe hurt your friend and because wewe are sorry.
H – But I am apologizing to get him to forgive me and to be my friend again.
N – Well wewe can’t do that. wewe are not five years old House. It is up to Wilson to forgive wewe and wewe have to respect him enough and give him space. Life is a journey House and wewe don’t get an edge. If wewe want to find happiness wewe have to take risks. What do wewe want?
H – I don’t want to fail.
N – House, wewe are either going to have to put down that orodha wewe keep your successes and failures on au a life that wewe finally put that orodha down and listen to your heart.
H – The last time I listened to my moyo my father didn’t speak to me for three months.
N - Whatever happened with your father it was one person. And he was just a man. Full of imperfections and flaws and he made mistakes with you. wewe have a son. What do wewe want?
H – I want to be a good father. I want to be a good friend. I want ……….. Can I go?
N – Are wewe alright?
H – I’m ok. I’ll call tomorrow.
N – wewe are sure wewe are ok? House kwa the way, what is the baby’s name
He was saying something but Dr. Nolan couldn't hear him.
As he got on his bike and was putting his kofia, chapeo on he took a deep breath. The road with all its silence was exactly what he needed. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and where he wanted things to go. He wasn't sure if Wilson would forgive him au if Cuddy would allow him in her life but time would tell.
"As his bike came to a stop he pulled his kofia, chapeo off and limped his way to the door. He knocked lightly and the door slowly opened.
"Greg?"
"Mom." It's good to see you.
N - You’re late. “How was your week?”
