I worked one more day in the garden naked, enjoying the feel of the sun and the gentle breeze on my naked body.
The next day I got up and hurried for breakfast, joining the others. I was glad to be going back to the mine, and Araway was still insisting I see the doctor. Orsty packed two pieces of cake for me to take, and I joined Araway in the truck.
We arrived at the mine and I noticed Kwaku turn and walk away. Araway followed Kwaku into the main building, and I headed to the infirmary to see the doctor. I told the doctor about my appetite, and that Araway had insisted I get a chech up. The doctor had me strip, and he did a thorough examination. He told me he couldn’t find anything wrong, and that my brand looked good, no infection.
He then told me he had examined my friend Ayitey a couple of days ago, along with the other slaves. He said he had examined Ayitey’s brand, and his brand was one of, what he called, the hit and miss. He said it was shallow with a minimum of burning, and that some of the lower layers of skin had grown over. He said at one place the top layer had started to regrow, and that he thought by removing the scar tissue the top layer might grow over.
I ask him if he would remove the scar tissue, but he was afraid that it wouldn’t be permissible. I ask if he would do it if we were the only ones to know, he said he would think It over.
When lunch time came I followed the food servers to the pit and got my food, then went to the bench to wait for Ayitey. I stripped naked and sat waiting for Ayitey to join me. When he arrived I did what he liked, I stood and let him look me over.
I ask Ayitey how he felt about being branded, and he said he just accepted his brand. I ask him if it could be removed, would he want it removed. He said of course, who want’s to wear the mark of a slave or criminal. I told him what the doctor had said, and that I would try to get the doctor to perform the procedure.
He turned the tables on me, and ask how I felt about being branded. He caught me by surprise and I didn’t say anything at first. So he told me he though I was happy to be branded, but that he couldn’t understand why. I told him I wasn’t sure about being branded, only that it was something different. He said he was still puzzled, and had trouble understanding me at times.
We finished lunch and I got out the cake Orsty had given me, and I gave a piece to Ayitey. He was really surprised, and said it had been years since he had eaten cake. So I handed him the other piece, which he ate slowly. When lunch was over I got dressed and left the pit. I went to the doctors office and told him that Ayitey would like to try his procedure. The doctor said he had thought about it since we talked earlier. He said if it were kept quiet, he would give it a try. I told him I would help any way I could, and would do everything to keep it confidential.
Now all we had to do was figure a way of doing it in private. We worked out a plan we hoped would work. Ayitey would fake being sick, and the doctor would say he was busy and couldn’t come to the pit. I was then going to volunteer to take Ayitey to see the doctor. We decided a Friday would be best, since it was always the busiest due to the coming and going of trucks.
